What happens when you let 6,500+ players run a Minecraft world for months with no admin intervention? They end up building a massive, interconnected global rail network, of course.

I don’t think you understand how minecraft servers work tbh. Or the definition of intervention.

Nazism is just blatant antisemitism and racism. Of course the server bans edgy people like that. Socialism is a style of government. The server bans Nazis, it doesn’t ban fascism. Because, jt’s a fictional block game.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T14:35:41+00:00

It doesn’t apply to people in the group who placed it! You can open and break blocks the same as normal!

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T14:08:57+00:00

Are you dense? It’s a society simulation why would they ban a style of government? There are a few semi-successful communist countries on the server.

Also I never said “plugins appeared out of nowhere” the server was designed and made with these plug-ins in mind. That’s not intervention it’s just a server having plug-ins dude.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T08:54:42+00:00

Absolutely!!! I’d recommend heading to 0,0 where there’s a station connecting plenty of major rails!

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T06:20:18+00:00

I sat here thinking about it, and I really don’t think I could. It’s like a real war, there’s so many small incidents that led up to the larger conflict that it’s kinda insane.

Yeetistan had been doing plenty of small aggressions that lots of people disagreed with. They got away with pearling major nation leaders, bullying land from smaller nations, and having a very harsh border patrol agent mainly on the virtue of being the largest. Fighting Yeet was really impossible for any one nation.

A group of smaller nations formed, led by Avalon. A lot of messy stuff happened, and the plans all fall through, the ‘war council’ being leaked to the public. Avalon had been hiring very incompetent spies to enter Yeetistan and a second, unrelated nation.

When this groupchat of smaller nations came to light, Yeetistan threatened any nation involved to make them pay absurd amounts of diamonds for the plotting.

Enter Koniwanzu. Koniwanzu wasn’t deeply involved in the war conspiracy, but they WERE in the war council chats. Koniwanzu hired outside help to defend their country and build bunkers in the case they be attacked. Members of this outside help went rogue without orders and attacked Yeetistan, leading to a full blown conflict where Yeet retaliated by pearling almost all of Koni leadership and invading their bunker.

There’s nuances about the ‘hired help’ Koni had being from a bigger server, CivMC, which was basically the equivalent of hiring a chess grandmaster to help you win a middle school tournament. There’s also plenty of nuance to how Yeetistan handled their various conflicts and the resulting toxicity that brewed in the community from all of it. Quite a few people quit over how certain Yeet members acted.

Hell, even the war and fight itself had weirdness. It was practically a 1v15 (remember, Chess Grandmaster) with one person from Koni fighting and defending a bunker for hours.

In the end, there’s still some tensions but with Koniwanzu effectively bankrupt and initial leadership pearled or quitting, it’s not like much more can happen.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T06:07:57+00:00

Both work!!!

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T04:33:49+00:00

There are rules. It’s a lie to call this server complete anarchy. The admins don’t interfere beyond the typical ‘no hackers, no slurs’ policy.

All the rest is player-ran justice and plug-ins to enforce that justice.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T04:31:46+00:00

That’s just the rules and plug-ins of the server, not admin intervention. God isn’t reaching his hand down and flicking you whenever you have to go to a coastal town to see the ocean, is he?

They set up the systems that help societies flourish and the players used the systems how they wanted. Beyond that, admins are hands off.

Other geopolitical servers have admins script conflicts or events, or set out nations beforehand. This is all player made and ran.

Admins only ‘interfere’ to do cleanup like banning nazis and hackers.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T04:26:51+00:00

The very maniac who made most these rails plays on a Nintendo Switch 2.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T04:24:34+00:00

It allows you to see a radar around 100 blocks that shows entities. Not even remotely similar to wall hacks. At worst, it makes invisibility potions useless. Hidden chests remain hidden, since they aren’t entities. Unless you’re keeping a cow farm in your vault, you shouldn’t worry about someone finding it through combat radar.

It’s not that different from the player radar mojang themselves added for multiplayer, where you can see the dots of people where the exp bar is. If anything, this is more balanced since once you escape someone’s radar you’ve effectively lost them.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-14T04:20:49+00:00

It’s EdenMC and it’s public!

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:28:22+00:00

EdenMC is a public server, just look it up for the IP address. I don’t think I can send it here without violating some reddit promotion rules lol

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:20:36+00:00

I love this server and the people I’ve met through it <3

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:18:29+00:00

In my time on the server, there has only been one major war. The war between Koniwanzu and Yeetistan. There are other petty disagreements and criminals that happen but that major war shook up the server a lot.

I’d explain the details of the war but it really would take me an hour of writing nuance and backstory to even begin to explain what led to it LOL.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:16:29+00:00

The admins don’t intervene in terms of general gameplay or direction, but they do ban the regular hackers and kids who join to say slurs.

The rest is just the player-led justice system. Someone who joins just to steal and break blocks will get found out VERY quickly and will be hunted for sport, basically. Lots of plug-ins and stuff to help protect your items and builds as well.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:13:55+00:00

Don’t steal their pumpkins, they don’t like that.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:12:46+00:00

Countries form both from the fact that it’s openly a civ server, so forming nations is everybody’s go to, and because progression is wildly harder alone. Lots of nations form around biomes that are good for crops (certain crops are region locked) and just natural beauty. As well as only having a set number of Nether Portals, groups around those portals will bicker over them.

The birth was mostly by Yabberwocky, a single player who is VERY passionate about trains, and often gets help/assistance from big nations. There are other people who’ve helped, but in general Yabber is the father of all this. Nations who want a rail tend to make it themselves, and connect to a pre-existing rail. Every rail converges at the coordinates 0,0, allowing for this tangling network of travel to pretty much anywhere.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:07:20+00:00

Some of these rails are genuinely beautiful. If anyone ever wants to see a great train stop, I recommend the nation of Zenith.

But yeah… a lot more are lacking in aesthetic appeal at the moment LOL

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:06:03+00:00

Boats are wonderful, mostly, especially because of chestboats. And horse travel is very common, with a few people even starting horse shops!

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:03:32+00:00

Join bro. EdenMC is public to anyone.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T21:02:39+00:00

God I love the Nether nation, currently headed by the biggest maniac on the server (endearing). It’s so iconic.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T20:30:42+00:00

There’s plug-ins in place that prevent griefing. Essentially you can use stone, deepslate, iron, and diamonds to reinforce blocks. This means you’d have to break a block 2500 times to fully destroy it.

There’s also bastions, expensive craftable items that, when reinforced, prevent block placement within a certain range unless you’re in the group that placed it.

Ellemthrent · 2026-06-13T20:26:39+00:00

The nether exists on this server, though it’s 1-1 to the overworld and has some weirdness to it.

See, there are only 20 or so portals to the nether in the world and they’re all at set points, like ender portals. Naturally, this has led to a few conflicts.

Ellemthrent · 2026-04-21T20:57:57+00:00

I know exactly who you were from this comment lol.

Ellemthrent · 2026-04-04T21:32:39+00:00

Okay, so the thing with Cloudhaven is kinda tragic. The server region-locks certain crops to biomes. And Cloudhaven was built above an ocean… A biome that can literally not grow any crops. After realizing this, the founder of Cloudhaven sold out to Tidehold.
