The Edge is a vanilla, snapshot server. Because snapshot servers are incompatible with Bukkit, commands such as /spawn are usually impossible. Or are they? The server’s owner, Berkano, has developed a custom server wrapper for The Edge. What does this mean? It means awesome stuff such as…
Home command - Make a house a home by being able to teleport back to your abode!
Spawn command – Teleport back to spawn (particularly useful when trading with other players).
Warps – Mods can create warps, which allow us to do stuff like make multiple spawns and build special areas that normal players can warp to.
Spawn protection – Spawn is now a sanctuary and not a post-apocalyptic battlefield! Don’t worry; the protection doesn’t extend for miles and miles.
Give normal users special access – Mods can give normal players access to specific commands. Is rain lagging out your Minecraft, and it’s just you and a Mod, who’s about to leave? They can give you toggledownfall to help you out!
Pure Survival – Use the survive command to go into pure survival – no commands whatsoever! Your inventory will be wiped when you use this command, so put away those diamonds!
All this is possible, with one minor disadvantage – you have to use ‘!’ instead of ‘/’ ahead of commands. In fact, that isn’t even a disadvantage. We all know ‘!’ is way cooler than ‘/’.
Other Stuff
Rules

Griefing is not allowed
Raiding is allowed. However, you'll be compensated for a major loss, and there is somewhere safe to store your items (see Benefits)

Moderators

[Owner] Berkano: The owner of The Edge, the creator of EdgeCraft, the custom server wrapper, and all round good guy. Rumour has it that he can lift 160 trees with one hand. Well, I say rumour. It’s actually something I made up just now.
[Image not added yet]
[Mod] Globagoz: One of the three original Mods, Globagoz is pretty much the coolest, most awesome guy on the planet. A fearsome Celtic warrior that even The Wither finds terrifying. Did I mention that I’m Globagoz?
[Mod] Sirhibbsy: One of the three original Mods, Sirhibbsy was the first of the Mods to meet Berkano. Berkano was so impressed by Globagoz and Sirhibbsy’s jungle house that he made them Mods. Sirhibbsy is currently living in the jungle, and rages after falling in lava on a daily basis.

[Mod] Hachiruo: Became a Mod shortly after Globagoz and Sirhibbsy, Hachiruo is a redstone pro, visionary builder and an enforcer of justice. Oh yeah, and he wears a fish mask. It apparently covers…ah, but you don’t need to know that. Or do you?!
[Image not added yet]
[Mod] Sniffakipper: The newest of the Mods, Sniffakipper is essentially invincible when it comes to Minecraft. What do I mean? Well, I’ll put it this way. Within a week of Beacon blocks being added, Sniffakipper already had a pyramid with every single effect. He also has a farm for everything.

[Ex-Mod] StrangeOneXD: Yes, you read that right. Image not available. How can this be? Simple. StrangeOneXD is, or was, a rogue, an assassin and a vagabond rolled in to one. Ok, that isn’t really true, but StrangeOneXD was one of the three Original Mods, but lost his status and was eventually banned after spawning in diamond blocks and generally screwing around. His ghost still haunts the server to this very day.
Locations
Spawn Island: This is where you’ll begin your journey. It’s an island. In the sky. Did I mention that it’s an island?
Paradise Island: The original spawn of The Edge, Paradise island has wooden bridges linking every house, a minecart ride and Globagoz and Sirhibbsy’s jungle house, including their mob fighting arena and their Spleef stadium.
Meeting Room: Somewhere in The Edge, hidden, is the Meeting Room, where Berkano and the Mods hold meetings and discuss the future of The Edge.
Eclestius: A project by Globagoz and Sirhibbsy, Eclestius boasts a day-night lighting system, a bustling market and free healthcare.
Snapshot Testing Facility: Construction of this building is not completed yet. However, we’re taking precautions to ensure this facility is as safe as possible. For example, no computers. We don’t want another GLaDOS situation again.
Tandora: A new project by Globagoz and Sirhibbsy, but this time they're doing it legit, right down to the Zombie Villagers they had to cure. Incest EVERYWHERE.
Benefits
Normal members will get these benefits:
Help from Mods: Has your house been griefed in any way? We’ll rebuild it for you! Has anything been taken? We’ll spawn it in and give it to you! (You’ll need some evidence, though. We’re not falling for the ‘My stack of Diamond Blocks has been stolen’ routine. At least, not again.)
Lockers: Want a secure place to keep your diamonds/emeralds/dirt? Select a warp to a particular locker and put your stuff in the chest there.
Commands: !spawn, !survive, !about etc.
Pure Survival: Teleport to a land without rules. Um, I mean commands. Same thing. Sort of.
Long-term, trusted members will get access to these privileges:
Access to certain warps: Want to go to Paradise Island? Sure. What about the Ruined Village? Definitely. How about Globagoz’s secret stash of diamonds? Absolut-NO. You almost caught me out there. Almost.
Potential to become a Mod: If you really prove your worth over a long time, you will be in with a chance of joining the elite, the untouchable, the supreme…Mods! Best part: you don’t even have to sell your soul! At least, I didn’t. I think Sirhibbsy did.
Any Block as a Helmet: Use the !helmet command to wear any block on your head! Charge into battle wearing a melon as a helmet. They're surprisingly tough. Seriously. Ok, I lied. They taste pretty good though.
Customised Weapon: You'll have your own, uniquely named, super-enchanted (think Knockback X) weapon! Send monsters flying! Other stuff!

Also, IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
Thanks!
The server went down for a while earlier today, so that might have been it. Please try and connect again!
Oasis Liner, IN MINECRAFT FORM!
I apologise for the error, the server has been a bit buggy recently. Please try again later!
Take my breath away...
Awwww yeah...
One day, you'll be a fine librarian. Unless you have a bad trade. Then we'll probably kill you.
On another note, Berkano is working on some shiny new commands, so make sure to stop by and
get killedmake a lovely house.
