Eden Block is a survival server that wants to last forever. The world is not supposed to reset so players can build a long term place that keeps its history.
The server mixes a few different styles. There is almost no admin intervention and what players do really matters. The goal is a player run world where groups and nations can grow over time.
You can use stone and other blocks to reinforce your builds. This makes griefing super hard because each reinforced block has to be broken many times. There are also snitch blocks that record what people do around them so you can track what happens to your stuff.
Mining and farming are different here. Ores can appear while you mine and biomes have different ore rates. Crops have different growth speeds in different biomes and some crops will not grow in some places at all. Crops take a while to grow even while chunks are unloaded and they are used to make XP in factories.
There is a plugin called Itemexchange that lets the economy grow naturally by the players. Shops are already set up and a central trade hub is being built by members of a few nations.
The server is pretty new but the core community has been together for almost ten years. They usually have around 15 to 25 players during peak time and they seem to really care about making a long term world.
