What changes compared to Minecraft

Planet Earth is not a normal Minecraft map. Here is everything that does not work the same way here as it does elsewhere.

The resource worlds

Three worlds built to be emptied, and reset roughly every two months:

  • The Surface, 20,000 blocks by 20,000: ore, wood and stone.
  • The Nether, 10,000 by 10,000: gold, quartz and ancient debris, the toughest material in the game.
  • The End, 10,000 by 10,000: the floating islands, the Dragon, and the End cities, those purple towers where you find elytra, the wings that let you glide.

You get there with /rtp, or with /monde. Never build your base there: everything on it disappears at the reset.

There is no Nether under Planet Earth

That matters if you are planning to dig a network of tunnels. A portal built on Planet Earth takes you to the resource Nether, the one that gets reset every two months.

So you cannot use the Nether to travel fast between two points on the map, and you cannot set up a permanent farm in it either. To get around, your town's warps are what you use.

What does not work the way it does in normal Minecraft

  • No monster spawner survives in the resource worlds, the Nether and the End. They are stripped out as soon as the ground is generated, so do not go looking for a dungeon there. A spawner placed on Planet Earth, on the other hand, works normally: you can build your monster farm on it.
  • Crafters are disabled. That is the Minecraft block that puts an item together on its own from its ingredients. Along with the cap on hoppers and pistons, it is the second limit to know about before you draw up a big machine.
  • The Wither, the three headed monster you summon with skeleton skulls, cannot spawn. Direct consequence: there is no beacon on this server, since a beacon is crafted with his star.
  • TNT does not explode on Planet Earth. If you want to blow something up, do it in the three resource worlds, where it works. Beds do not explode anywhere, the Nether included.
  • Your fields are safe: nobody can trample them.
