The center of the map is the core (x0, z0). Everyone initially spawns/respawns near the core. You can't do anything there if you don't first reach level 50.
Level 50 is the max useful level on the server: with it you unlock all the map (the maximum zone is 50).
You will spawn at one of the spawn corners, which are in zone 1, far from the core. Here you will be able to do everything you need to get started.
Level up by crafting lapis lazuli or quartz in your crafting table or inventory:
Experience Required: Each level requires more exp than the last. The formula is: Level × 90 exp
Note: Villagers cannot trade lapis or quartz (they will give you dye instead). You must mine these resources yourself!
The closer you get to the core, the higher the zone. The four spawn corners are situated near the border between zone 1 and zone 2.
Zone 1 is the biggest one, as it extends from the 2nd to the end of the world. Level up to use higher zones or just visit/ignore them.
When you die, you get banned for 24h and lose your levels.

It just adds its small peculiar "hardcore multiplayer" mechanic on top of them and a couple commands to make it a bit less unbearable. All mobs/redstone farms should work as expected.
As with every server, some exploitable mechanics must be blocked. Only these are blocked:
The server is usually updated to the latest version of Minecraft as soon as it's safe and stable, with as little limitations as possible to the newly introduced mechanics.
The admin (wmantly) did never and will never interfere with the gameplay: players' items, progresses and interactions with the world and with each another will never be reset or altered by him.
There are only two exceptions to this:
The admin may award players prizes solely based on merit/prestige in rare special occasions, but they will never give real gameplay advantages.
Chat reporting is disabled and basically everything is allowed: griefing, pvping... A good AntiCheat/AntiXray is put in place which can block and kick detected players, but never ban them. Cheats that aren't detected by it like world downloaders, minimaps and entity esp are allowed.
Players can only get banned in the following three extreme circumstances:
