Zurvival

The server features land protection, fast-travel region posts and a few other changes with a focus on bringing the core Minecraft experience we all know and love to a public multiplayer server.

The server's philosophy

There's no grief. Not only do we prevent grief before it can happen with claim protection, but we will typically catch, and ban, those up to no good extremely fast.

We encourage community spirit, and don't take kindly on griefing, stealing or PVPing in an non-civil manner. PVP is allowed, but only if both parties consent to it. Surprise attacks on players who are building, or going about their business is not accepted practice here. The Guardians will step in if they see your behaviour as unsavoury.

Players always start in a resource rich environment alongside other players just starting out. No more walking hundreds of blocks out of spawn before you can build. No more searching for caves, only to discover they've already been stripped of all valuables. You're dropped right in with other players who want the same as you: to find a nice spot to build; and you're never far from trees and other natural resources to mine.

Rules

Zurvival has a few rules. These are the basic rules of the server:

DO

• Replant crops you harvest in the community farms
• Be friendly and kind
• Explore the world
• Have Fun!
• Speak English in public chat

DO NOT

• Steal
• Grief
• Attack Players (unless agreed)
• Enter Builds (unless invited)
• Cheat (mod/exploit)
• Advertise other servers ect.

The gameplay

We are vanilla. This does not mean no plugins, completely unprotected. What we mean is there is a focus on the core Minecraft experience. There are no game-changing plugins; nothing to distract from simply playing Minecraft.

Most of the people on the server are far spread out into all directions of the wind! A lot start building their own base, houses or projects on their own. But the people are nice and often help each other with their projects, give or trade items and come together for community projects, like preparing the next spawn regions with farms and streets.Players will often just live friendly next to each other while chatting a bit.

It is fun to visit others and see their progress of their buildings, towns and more. Even after hundreds of hours on the server, one can still find new interesting and awe inspiring buildings. Some Travel Guides will lead you to the greatest and still important regions.

The server features food community farms at spawn, has an EXP farm in the end (made by The1Shaw) and a lot of other public or private mob and EXP farms.

But the core experience is the vanilla Minecraft we all know, even while some plugins will make your life easier.

Features

There are a few plugins on Zurvival that help protect players or make the life of a player just a bit easier. For more information refer to the complete list or the starter guide.

The following are the most important ones on the server:

Region Posts

Regions are set by the region posts which are 400 blocks apart over the whole map. Most of them have a name, unnamed ones are just called 'Wilderness'.
You will spawn at the newest region, which is currently Watersedge. It is made for new players to start right away with building their first home.

A lot of players will regard the regions they live in as a kind of address. Over time you will learn their region names and other regions you may find useful.

Region List There are also Region Guides, go to the Starter Guide for some info on more!

Resource Dimension

All Zedlings on Zz have access to the Resource Dimension.

Claiming Land

One of the most important ways to prevent grief is the use of claims. You will gather more blocks to widen your claims over time but the first claim of a new player will be set around the first chest they place down. Only the owner of the claim will be able to mine or place blocks on a claim. Other players can be trusted to do so to via a command, too.

Zedkins

Zedkins is a council of players that decide matters for and with the community, start and support community projects, and ask Zedwick for changes.

Meetings are monthly and every Zedling can become part of Zedkins if nominated and voted in.

History and Lore

!!! first online day, what version,

On Zurvival we have a lot of history in the past 4 years, but also a lot of lore and stories, often amusing and sometimes based on real events on the server. Due to those stories we have a few 'factions' that don't actually do anything in-game but being a fun thing. There are also a few in-game books written by the players about those topics as if they were fact.

If you're interested in the lore and some inside jokes, just look at the lore or the in-joke pages!
