Current map revision 31
Map revision started 6th August, 2016

New Features

Currently our Creative server is on it's 31st map reset. Primary features of the current map are:

  • Current version: 1.10.2
  • Map size begins at 6000x6000 blocks (that's from -3000 to +3000 on both the x and z axis) and will increase all the way up to 10,000x10,000 blocks through the course of the revision.
  • "Spawn City" and "Suburb" pre-made plots are available again, see "How do I claim land?" for an explanation on how these work!
  • There are no pre-made North/East/South/West roads set up this time, but expect to see plenty of player-made highways around the map.
  • There are special /warps that are available from the start of the revision, including "Spawn City", "Suburbs", "Marina" - for all your boats, "Redstone Playground" - a separate world where you can test out redstone mechanisms freely, as well as the historic "Pixel Art" and "BigTown" areas.

This guide provides a more detailed look at the rules, activities, and banned items specific to our Creative server.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


If you have a question about anything that isn't already covered here, feel free to get in touch with a member of staff for help!


Can I use "World Edit"?

Yes - however, you must first be the owner of the protected region that you are trying to use WorldEdit in. It is not possible to use WorldEdit outside of a region that you own.


Why wont my water flow?

Our server uses a plugin called SafeBuckets to prevent liquids from flowing as a grief prevention measure - it would be pretty horrible to have all of your hard work ruined by a griefer with a bucket of water! To make your water/lava flow, place down the bucket of water/lava as normal and then type /modreq please flow this liquid. If you are the owner of a protected region you can flow liquids easily within your region by typing /flow and then clicking the static block.


Can I make a PvP arena?

Yes, but PvP regions must be fully enclosed to prevent people from accidentally flying into them and being put into survival mode. You can make a /modreq to have a moderator set your region to PvP mode.


How close can i build to my neighbor?

Region protections will not be granted if your build is within 10 blocks of another player's build. If you build too close to another player without their permission we may need to put some distance between the two of you!


How do I claim land?

Build a rectangular border around the area in blocks, you can use brightly coloured wool (for example) to make it stand out better. These protections will go all the way from map height to bedrock. No existing build is required to get a piece of land protected. You can also request a protection on something you have already built which will protect only the blocks involved, with no buffer.


  • Protections in pre-made plots operated by NerdPlot will automatically only protect the area within the plot. In the Redstone Playground these protections will not go all the way up to the height limit.
  • Requesting a region in the Space multiverse requires blocks to be placed in a line in the Y direction to indicate the desired height of the region.


Regions that are not built in may be removed or reduced as needed after 1 month of inactivity.


Can I use potions?

Potions themselves are banned, however you may use the /effect command in their place.


Why can’t I make a portal?

Portals are restricted on our servers to prevent the accidental grief they can cause to other players' builds by automatically generating inside them. You can instead make a /modreq for a decorative portal to be placed.


Can I test redstone things in the overworld?

Redstone creations that are not fully contained within a build must be made in the Redstone Playground (use /warp redstone to access this). Builds may be removed if they do not meet this requirement.


Why won’t my vines grow / Can I build an ivy wall that wont grow?

Plant growth is currently disabled on Creative due to griefing potential.


How do I get added to the /place or /warp list?

Players can request to have their build made into a /warp by submitting a /modreq at the desired warp location and including the desired name in the request (e.g. "Please could I get this made into a warp? It is called Alola". Warps are granted at admin discretion.
