MafiososSMP was an outstanding roleplay series that gathered more than 50 content creators. The series took place in a small Italian town threatened by the mafia, where each inhabitant had their own story.
The series stood out for its custom scenery, a unique modpack and interactive events that kept constant activity. The project emphasized the narrative development, participant inclusiveness among all experience levels and a consistently dynamic plots, leaving a lasting mark on its community.
The year is 1972 in Savona, Italy. Gorgonzola Mafia is hiding while pulling the threads of the town. The mayor, Giovanni Messina, in his urban expansion attempt, gets 50 people looking for a new life, to come to the town. However, the same day he was going to greet them, he was murdered. Everything pointed to the return of the mafia. The insecurity, the crime and the hidden business would not cease.
Upon this situation, clandestine groups arose in between the inhabitants, aiming to stop the mafia and achieve peace for their new town. A bittersweet ending would be the climax of this series, and it would make clear that good people do not always win and that mafias power is relentless.
The series was developed in 1.18.2 and it featured a custom modpack to add relevant content for the roleplay. Moreover, some other resources made by KILAM gave the series a great immersion level, with creations such as inventory adaptation data pack or the use of in-game animated elements.
To guarantee the activity, flexibility and novelty of the series during all of its duration, there were weekly maintainences to add good amount of content. An amusement park, a whole passable sewage system underneath the town, multiple renovated buildings and many other upgrades were added as the story progressed.
To allow all players to dive into their own role, a worthy environment was necessary. Savona town, where the series took place, was built from scratch, including roads, parks, supermarkets, urbanizations, beaches, a fire station, a police station, hospitals, restaurants, hotels... Everything that's needed to support any kind of roleplay.
Not only that, to promote the use of different areas, there were events constantly across all town, organized by the administration: from a monkey escape in the zoo, to diving events, private parties, fires, organized robbery and many more.
MafiososSMP has left a mark on many of its players, not only while it was active, but also after it finished. Many lasting relationships were forged beyond Minecraft. The members are still asking for a sequel of this series years after it finished, and even though it has not happened yet, MafiososALT was organized. It was a short event to celebrate the first anniversary of the original series, where players could explore an alternative ending where the mafia didn't win
