David's Earth Server
Free to play. Whitelist only.

The real Earth, in Minecraft.

Pick a spot on the map and make it yours.

A private, modded survival server built on a 1:250 map of the actual planet. You spawn in Long Beach, California. From there, the whole world is open: real coastlines, real mountain ranges, and real deserts, forests and tundra, built from real elevation and climate data. Build a town in the Rockies, run a rail line to Vegas, or sail across the Pacific. It's all there.

Minecraft Java 1.21.1 with NeoForge. The modpack handles everything.

What makes it different

The real map

Every continent, coastline and mountain range is where it should be. The Rockies and Sierra Nevada are 6x taller than true scale, so they actually look like mountains.

Real biomes

Arizona is desert, the Pacific Northwest is forest, and the far north is frozen. You can tell where you are by looking around.

Trains, ships and airships

With Create you can build working railways, machines and flying airships. Elytras are off, so how you get across a continent is up to you.

Build a colony

MineColonies lets you found a town that grows on its own, with builders, farmers, miners and guards working for you.

A real economy

Sell what you gather, buy what you need, and pay other players. Buy Claim Deeds to own more land.

Protected land

Claim your chunks so nobody can grief your builds. Bring friends into your party to build together.

Worth exploring

Better villages, towers, ruins, taverns and dungeons are spread across the map.

Holiday season

Sleds, Christmas lights, gingerbread and snow across the map for December.

How far is everything?

Measured from spawn in Long Beach.

Bars use a log scale so San Diego stays visible next to London.
