Eden is a new server that is trying to feel like a real world where players make everything. It has no resets and the admins do not step in. What you see is made by players and run by players and you are expected to defend what you build.
Bases can be reinforced with a plugin so raids are harder and defense matters. Some crops only grow in certain biomes so people have to trade and travel. Crops keep growing even if you are offline and you can speed it up with fertilizer.
Mining is different too since ores spawn as you mine and your pickaxe and biome and Y level changes the rates. Some resources only show up in certain regions so you cannot get everything in one spot.
There are snitches that can alert you when someone enters your land and you can track what they do. If someone causes trouble players can use ExilePearls to send criminals to the nether. The server is a mix of towny factions worldbuilding roleplay and full player freedom with custom civilization style mechanics.
