Zedwork is a secure, vanilla-esque Minecraft Server with an emphasis on collaboration and community. We were tired of all the grief filled servers out there and wanted to make something different; something completely grief free!

main.png

Zero Grief

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 have some respect about it. Surprise attacks on players who are building, or going about their business is not accepted practise here. The Guardians will step in if they see your behaviour as unsavoury.

img1.png

Plenty of resources

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. With Zedwork, 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.

Vanilla

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.

Help

If you would like to know more about the protection on offer, or how to get around the world, we have a collection of help files available on our website: www.zedwork.co.uk/help/

We also have some lovely forums, which you are encouraged to go on and get involved in the conversation: www.zedwork.co.uk

We are aiming to grow in size very rapidly, and are eager to build our world and our community up with you. Come and join us!

Hylindar\'s Ship : 04/17/2013 9:39:03 am4/17/13

Uploaded an image of Hylindar's ship, Zedwick's first ever render!

New forum design : 04/12/2013 11:51:21 am4/12/13

Updated our forum design to make things subtly simpler.

Forgot to say, updated to 1.5! :P : 03/20/2013 8:23:23 am3/20/13

We updated to 1.5 a while ago, forgot to mention it. So, yay!

Updated to 1.4.7 (not that you\'d notice) : 02/09/2013 5:29:58 am2/09/13

We've updated to 1.4.7, no real difference four you guys though. Connect with either 1.4.6 or 1.4.7 clients, both will work :)

Updated to 1.4.6, and back to Survival! : 01/04/2013 11:15:47 am1/04/13

We updated to 1.4.6 and switch to a creative world for new year, and have just returned to Survival!

Huzzah!

Updated to 1.4.5, also new SQL server! : 11/20/2012 8:06:41 am11/20/12

Updated to 1.4.5, and have just transfered our SQL backend over to a new host. Things are looking much faster. Hopefully all lag will be gone ^_^

Minecraft 1.4.2 : 11/02/2012 7:02:50 pm11/02/12

We updated to Minecraft 1.4.2 earlier today.

People are already on exploring everything the new update has to offer ^_^

Minecraft 1.3.2 : 10/12/2012 7:46:03 am10/12/12

We've just updated to Minecraft 1.3.2! (finally, right? :P)

It's a little early to tell, but I think the server is actually running smoother for it (and it was running pretty damn smoothly before!)

New Region now open! : 09/22/2012 7:20:29 pm9/22/12

There's a new region open!

Come and see! Plenty of open land to explore/settle.

\"Zhuruguo\" now open! : 08/17/2012 8:11:32 am8/17/12

We've just opened a new region called "Zhuruguo", all new players shall spawn here.

It is untouched and unexplored! Enjoy :)

Just updated to 1.3.1! : 08/07/2012 5:07:12 am8/07/12

We've just updated to 1.3.1, and all plugins appear to be stable. Looking forward to seeing all the new creations everyone comes up with using the new features of Minecraft ^_^

A new region will soon open! : 05/26/2012 6:59:10 pm5/26/12

The current region is nearly full up, so a new region shall soon be open for new players to join in. If you're more interested in starting in a well developed area, then join now!
Of course, any player can move into the new region once it opens. Visit the currently open region by entering /newestregion in-game, and you can move into the region by entering /movein (this making it your /homeregion, where you would spawn after death)

Residential developments in CityRegion : 05/25/2012 6:05:33 pm5/25/12

I am now planning on opening up residential areas in the /CityRegion. If anyone is interested in having a plot, please contact me (Zedwick)

MEmory leak has been fixed! : 05/24/2012 4:56:22 pm5/24/12

If you regularly visit Zedwork, you may know that we have been suffering a significant memory leak over the past few days. Generally, this just meant the server had to be restarted once or twice a day. Though sometimes, if not caught before the memory leak outgrew the capacity of the server, Zedwork would be offline until found. Thankfully, this was usually timed uite well, and wasn't offline for too long. After extensive checking, the issue has now been fixed and the problematic code removed. Enjoy Zedwork again, worry free ^_^

HillTop : 05/20/2012 8:01:09 pm5/20/12

Hilltop has been progressing well, they are now setting up their own market!
Visitors and residents alike will be able to buy from the shops, though I believe shop plots are only available for rent by residents of the town.

You can get to Hilltop by entering /visitregion hilltop in-game

The Market : 05/19/2012 7:14:25 pm5/19/12

Don't forget, you can visit the market in the CityRegion by typing /CityRegion in the in-game chat! You can buy all sorts of things from the shops there, most of which are player-run.

There is currently a free shop plot, so if you're interested in starting up your own shop and would like to take the plot please speak to zedwick :)

Vote if you\'re hungry :) : 05/18/2012 7:35:39 pm5/18/12

Don't forget you can vote for us on here, but only if you like us!

You'll also get some bread to compensate you for having to make all those clicks in order to vote xD

We are looking for new members! : 05/17/2012 1:05:51 pm5/17/12

As always, we welcome new players to Zedwork. So come join, have a look around and get building!

Chester1525\'s sky island : 05/16/2012 10:10:27 am5/16/12

It's coming along pretty nicely, and has secured itself as the largest build on the server. I'm excited to see it come to completion, course that's a long way off. Because of it's sheer immense size, Chester needs some donations to see it through. If anyone would like to donate, please let him know :)

A note about Vanilla : 05/15/2012 8:28:28 am5/15/12

We promote ourselves as 'Vanilla', though we are a bukkit server. We may not be purely Vanilla, but no public server should be Vanilla. Vanilla is okay amongst friends, but Minecraft just isn't designed for security. Any players can destroy, grief and ruin a vanilla world. We get players who join us and speak out against it not being 'Vanilla', and then go on to look for ways they can grief the server. Essentially,t hat seems to be what most people looking for a Vanilla server want; an easy way for them to cause grief against others, an unprotected server.

Zedwork is a vanilla experience, with protection plugins to maintain an enjoyable experience for all. We do not have any game-changing pugins, the core experience is the same. But you have the tools available to protect yourself against grief.

So do not complain that we are not Vanilla, we are. We're as much a vanilla server as any public server ever should be, you would NOT want a truly vanilla server. You just want that Vanilla experience. 

Unless you're a griefer, of course; we'd rather not see yo on Zedwork if so. ;)

Minecart Elevator system : 05/13/2012 9:19:55 am5/13/12

Been working on a minecart elevator system for Chester1525's Laputa, castle in the sky. If anyone has any insights into how to make it work, please get involved!

New town: \'Hilltop\' : 05/10/2012 9:07:39 pm5/10/12

A new player town is now forming named 'hilltop'. Still early on in their plans, but will hopefully be opening its gates to residents very soon :)

Rail System Proposal : 05/09/2012 2:17:32 pm5/09/12

We've start work on the rail system for Zedwork. As it stands, the proposal is to have 4 lines leaving the City Region. Each Line represents a different direction; Morningthaw, cavern, stream and waterfall. They will pass through several regins, until they loop back and end back in the City Region. So one example is the Morninghtaw line, which will head up to Morningthaw, go through darktide and eventually arrive in Guild, loop accross to Waterfront and loop back to the CityRegion via waterfall. Waterfall would make the opposite journey; starting in waterfall, then to waterfront, guild, darktide, morninghtaw and back to the CityRegion.

I believe work on the guild-waterfront section of rail will begin soon, and later be incorporated into the larger network.

Waterfront Town : 05/07/2012 8:14:15 pm5/07/12

A new town is currently in theworks at the Werfront region. It is player ru an uilt, founded byJoshlalonde and Akos6989. Contact them if you wouldlike to join the town andget yourself a plot!

New Region: Boulder : 05/06/2012 8:48:52 am5/06/12

A new region has just opened; named 'Boulder'

The spawn area for this region has been designed by resident Guardian FellAngel!

On Zedwork, players always spawn in a resource-rich environment, and never have far to walk before they can get started with building. As the spawn region fills up with builds, the region closes to new players and a new region opens; ready for new players to be assigned to it. This should make it easy for players to simply play minecraft, and not have to worry about finding a spot to build, not having enough trees or not be able to find enough coal, or iron close to spawn!

I'm afraid it will be a little* while until we can update.
We use a modified server called 'bukkit', they're still working on updating bukkit to be both compatible with 1.4.2 and stable. Until it is stable, I will not be updating the server.
If you wish to continue playing on Zedwork in the mean time, you will need to downgrade to 1.3.2. There are guides on the internet for this, a quick google search should help.


*by little, we mean a matter of days. Could be beyond a week. It really depends on bukkit.


The Bukkit team said this yesterday: 
"Due to the rapid release of preview builds for the impending 1.4 update, we are unable to guarantee that we'll have a compatible CraftBukkit Recommended Build out in time for the release of Minecraft 1.4.2. Although we started working on the update immediately after the Minecraft 1.4 preview was made available to the public, each new preview build leads to delays in our update process as we, essentially, need to start over with each one."

Hey, is this server updated to 1.3.2? I've been looking for a mainly vanilla server for a long time now.

zedwick
Level 20
Expert Caveman
August 20, 2012, 2:55 am

We run bukkit, with just plugins to protect builds against griefers. No other game changing plugins are installed. Because we run bukkit, we rely on it being updated before we can update to 1.3.2. Because 1.3.2 is just a bug fixing version, you can still connect to Zedwork despite the fact that we run 1.3.1. Also, the majority of the buigs fixed by 1.3.2 were fixed by bukkit anyway. So bukkit will not be updating to 1.3.2 until they feel they have all of their features stable and compatible with 1.3.1.


So; no we do not run 1.3.2. I don't believe there are any benefits to running 1.3.2 over 1.3.1, and you will still be able to connect despite having updated to 1.3.2 :)

Some of community has built very impressive art/structures too :) I strongly recommend this server to people looking for a protected vanilla server!

Zed? Or Bountiful? Every time I try to connect to the server it says I have been disconnnected and the message says xray.

You were not banned for mining a mine, Gokiel. As the ban message clearly states, you were banned for 'grief'. Which, in this case, was the wilful destruction of another player's house.


As for the telling someone to shuttup, don't think I've ever had to do that. I've had discreet words with players if they begin to irritate other players, but I cannot imagine the situation you are describing. I hope you aren't trying to make a stab at the server simply because you were caught griefing...
