    {
      "question": "Can I join Unstable SMP on cracked Minecraft?",

      "answer": "The live server advertises 1.21.1+ for Java and Paper 26.3 server software. Unstable SMP usually runs several versions at once through its proxy, so check the current announcement in Discord if your client is refused."

      "answer": "The server slot count is 14,000 players. The live count is shown on this site and updates automatically from the server status feed."

    },
    {
      "question": "Which YouTubers play on Unstable SMP?",
      "answer": "Wemmbu, FlameFrags, ParrotX2 and Spoke all make official Unstable SMP content. They publish large-scale survival, PvP and event videos from the server, which is why the address is searched for so often."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where are Unstable SMP announcements posted?",
      "answer": "Server events, version changes and community updates are posted in the official Discord at https://discord.gg/unstable-network. The website and the Discord are the only official sources."
    },
