Eden is a survival server that is trying to see what happens when players build a full civilization with no map reset and almost no admin help.

When you build something you do not just claim land with a command. You reinforce the actual blocks with different materials so griefing is super hard and takes a lot of effort. Your castle or town feels like a real fortress that has to be broken into the hard way.

The economy is all about real scarcity and industry. There are no admin shops and mobs do not give xp. Instead players make factories that turn crops into xp. Crops grow at different speeds in different biomes and ores show up as you mine and change with biome and y level. Some stuff only shows in certain places so farmers and miners need each other. This makes real trade routes and trade hubs appear.

Crime and punishment is also run by players. If someone steals or griefs you do not ping a moderator. You use snitch blocks to track them then hunt them down. You can imprison them and send them to the nether so your laws actually matter. You can run a peaceful republic a trading nation or a rogue state but you have to defend it yourself.

The whole server feels like a big social experiment where builders merchants and politicians all mix together and the world just keeps going without resets.
