FAQ
What kind of game is this?
New Eden is a Minecraft-based server network which provides a relatively unique cyber-punk space-wizard survival RPG environment where players are encouraged to contribute to the ongoing development of the game.
Players can do this through the creation of builds, writing lore entries and stories on this wiki, creating characters, writing quests, or simply playing the game and contributing by producing and consuming goods in the economy, playing quests, killing monsters, etc. This is in contrast to other servers where only admins or a very select group of individuals provide "official" content.
Do you reset content?
It is typical on a lot of servers to periodically erase the world so that users have to start over from scratch. No. We do not - have never - and will never - reset content. It is our philosophy that many great builds are lost to resets, and that it really serves no purpose we recognize.
If a player or group of players want to "start over", all they have to do is find a new area, and start building again from scratch. If the temptation to use resources from an old build proves too great, contact an admin and you can donate the land to the game, which will preserve it.
Is there a world border?
Yes. the main world, new eden planet, there is a 20km border. Other worlds like the moon and the end are smaller.
How do you handle new versions coming out?
Some networks approach this situation by resetting (erasing) the world when a new version comes out, or, by creating a new server (a new world) with the new version and allowing players to pick which server they want to play on, typically via some kind of a lobby. We do not do that. Instead, the world border is expanded when new versions come out, so that a new "band" or "ring" is created for that new version.
Is the server public?
The server is public and you are welcome to tell your friends, but we have not "released". The content is continually being built so you could say that the game is still in beta. A full public release is intended for Fall of 2022. Players should understand that changes are constantly being made to the game to improve the experience.
Playstyles
This is stupid, I just want to play vanilla survival
Yeah, we get it. Sometimes limitations are their own reward. Vanilla play is fully supported on the server. Just go find some unoccupied land, and build there.
This is a hassle, I just want to play creative
We hear you. Working for a living sounds a lot like work. Make your way to the Leigh-Co HQ building in New Eden City. There you will find a virtual reality floor. We offer two flavors of creative, known as the dream, one with a flat world, and another with regular terrain. Enter the dream of your choice and, if you wish, never come back to the "real world".
Player Conduct
Is PVP allowed?
Yes, PVP is allowed in most areas. If you do not want PVP to be possible in your build, it can be prevented on property you own.
Are glitch machines allowed?
Yes, if you can get away with it. Our primary concern is TPS - the health of the server. Players can do whatever they want as long as it does not impact the health of the server or cause service problems for other players. There is no law against people manipulating the economy by producing items with machines and lowering the price.
Is griefing/theft allowed?
Yes, griefing/theft are allowed. If you do not want to do this to you, you can purchase an affordable land claim that will prevent other players from griefing you.
Is there an economy?
Yes, there is an economy based on a diamond standard whose currency is the Marble. Store chests are available which allow players to buy and sell items for any prices they choose. An online shops website tracks the current location and prices of shops throughout New Eden.
