The Maps

We are now running 3 maps.  All of which are continuously updated to use the latest snapshot release, so you need to enable experimental builds in your Minecraft client.

Shiny New Hardware

We are now up and running on super new hardware :-) EdgeCraft has also been updated to provide Linux support and a number of enhancements for scalability and management. We are now hosted on CentOS 6.4.


About EdgeCraft

EdgeCraft is a unique, custom server wrapper, compatible with snapshots, which provides many helpful commands to players, along with a permissions system to allow mod / operator groups. This allows us to provide an enhanced multiplayer experience while staying up to date with the very latest MC releases - living on the edge!

Limited Server

Our Limited Server is now under development, inspired by http://www.reddit.com/r/limitedservers. Please come along and test it out!

We have a 128 x 128 map with bedrock walls extending to min and max heights. The map will be changed once it officially launches, so don't go crazy just yet :-)

You can connect at edgemc.net:12345 (no whitelist)

Plugins: NoCheatPlus, WorldBorder, Orebfuscator, SimpleSpawn

A date/time for an official launch hasn't been set yet.  Let's see how much interest there is and hopefully have a few players starting at the same time!

Other things to decide before launch:

  • should it be up 24/7?  If restricted hours, I prefer it to be up in the evening UK time
  • how long should the map run for? Should we limit that as well? (Or let it run its course...)
