I found this server called Eden and it is like a giant social experiment in Minecraft. The whole idea is to see if players can make a working society without any admin stepping in to fix stuff.

The world has real scarcity. There are no admin shops that bail you out. Resources can actually run out and even crops are locked to certain biomes. So if you want a big factory or base you need a real supply chain that goes across the map.

Protecting your base is not some magic claim command. You have to reinforce blocks with materials so breaking in costs time and resources. Raids and wars feel like actual sieges and not just someone typing a command.

Justice is also handled by players. If someone messes with you it is on you to track them down. The server uses a system where you can imprison people in the Nether and that acts like the jail.

The Nether is not just a prison though. It is also full of important resources you need to progress. So both criminals and normal players have to share this super dangerous dimension.

The server is pretty new and the map started only a few weeks ago. They say the world will never reset and the first big alliances and settlements are already starting to form. It feels like the kind of place where the story is written by the players who stick around.
