'''The Great Railway Network''' is a rail network connecting places and builds, originating from [[Spawn]]. Anyone is allowed to expand the network or decorate its stations.
[[File:7.10.25RailwayMap.png|alt=Railway Map|thumb|550x550px|Comprehensive Map]]

The network currently consists of seven main lines:

* the '''Blue Line''' from East to West,
* the '''Red Line''' from North to South,
* the '''Mushroom Line''' connecting the Red Line to [[Shaftville]] and [[Warrington]]
* the '''Great Chinese Railway''', allowing travel to China from GCorp
* the '''Yellow Line''' between Shaftville and Snorp
* the '''Intergalactic Express''' connecting Outcast and Goldenzapkas' village to the rest of the network
* and the '''GCorp Metro''' connecting the town to a few outlying stations

There are also a few smaller lines as well as incomplete lines that you can travel on. Most stops should have a stocked minecart dispenser, feel free to take a minecart if you don't have one.

== The Red and Blue Lines ==
[[File:View of Spawn from Red Line.png|alt=Spawn view from the Red Line|thumb|A view of Spawn from a minecart on the Red Line]]

=== The Red Line ===
This Line currently Stretches from Mushroom Island, through spawn and ultimately Northlake Village. I has nine stops and intersects with the Blue Line at Central Station. Other notable Stations are [[Spawn|The Spawn]] and Old Ardakazia. The Northern section of this line is very scenic, as the track is elevated above ground (see Image).

==== Active Red Line Stations (North to South): ====
* Northlake Village
* Dwarven Mines
* [[Spawn|The Spawn]]
* Central Station (Platform 1, connects to Blue Line)
* Southlands Farm
* Old Ardakzia
* Viking Village
* Far South Station
* Mooshroom Island

[[File:Mushroom Island Station.png|alt=Mushroom Island Station from outside.|thumb|The Mooshroom Island Station amidst the curious Landscape]]

==== Other Information ====
The further South you go on the Red Line, you can see that you are leaving civilisation further and further behind: The side of the track becomes littered with holes, either from caves or desperate miners digging for resources, you pass more and more Ghost Stations, where the minecart doesn't stop and even after arriving at your station, you will have to walk further until you find settlements. The Mushroom Island Station at z2515 is the furthest that finished and active railways will take you from Spawn. The distance to spawn is outlined by the unusual landscape and sparse settlement. This line used to be on the server stretching from the mentioned z2515 all the way to z-637 (Northlake Village), which amounts to 3152 Blocks.

=== The Blue Line ===
The Blue Line consists of the main Light Blue Line, that Services all stations in an (approximate) line from West to East and the Dark Blue Line that currently skips a station in favour of a more scenic route. Close to spawn this line runs mostly underground at around y57, but newer additions, further from spawn, have varying heights from y35 to y79. In the underground sections there is often little to see except for the occasional underwater glass tunnel or short looks at large cave systems. Meanwhile the new overground sections to the West allow for a scenic view of mostly untouched landscapes. This line intersects with the Red Line at Central Station and with the ''Copper Line ( a series of Ghost Stations )'' at the recently completed Kasuto Rail Junction

==== Active Blue Line Stations (West to East) ====
* Journeys End
* Snorp Station Pl.1
* Lond Daer ([[Hobbiton]])
* Lake Neverwhere
* Moon River
* Central Station Pl.2
* [[Fairy Tale Castle]]
* Dymond Mall
* East Sea Lighthouse
* Kasuto Junction
* Eastern Lake
* Pterodactyl Island
* Kings Cave
* GCorp Pl.1 (aka Eviltown)

==== Other Information ====
[[File:Hobbiton 6.8.25.png|alt=Hobbiton.|thumb|The town of Hobbiton.]]
The West-most point of the line is currently Journeys End at x-2477 and the East-most point is the Kasuto Junction at x1267, which equates to 3744 blocks of track. Due to the recent expansion a few stations further from spawn don't have much development near them, you are free to settle and build near these stations.

The Blue Line will take you on a journey where you are greeted by cosy towns like Hobbiton or monuments and massive builds like the Fairy Tale Castle or the skyscrapers at Dymond Mall.

=== Incomplete Expansion ===

* When arriving at Kasuto junction (Blue Line) it is immediately clear that the track continues northward. If you continue on this track you come across multiple incomplete Ghost Stations. At Mooshroom Island (Red Line), the south most station any visitor can see that the track still continues southward. Will you take the journey and find out how far it goes?

== Other Lines ==

=== Mooshroom Line ===
The first line that was finished after Red and Blue Lines is the '''Mooshroom Line''', the track was built by [[LeGrey]] and the stations were completed by [[Starstriker1012|Starstriker]]. This Line connects the south-most Red Line station, Mooshroom Island, to the towns and warps of [[Shaftville]] and [[Warrington]]. The Shaftville station includes a lounge for travellers.

==== Active Mushroom Line Stations (West to East) ====
* [[Warrington]]
* [[Shaftville]] Pl.1
* Dizzy Hollows (only underground)
* Mooshroom Island (Red Line)

=== Yellow Line ===
This line connects Shaftville and Snorp, it is planned to add an expansion toward Sharous Cottage. The Chaosland Station is identical to all the other houses in Chaosland, with the exception of the Station sign, can you find it? This is also the only line where currently all stops are warps.

==== Active Stations (South to North) ====

* Shaftville Pl.2
* Chaosland
* Snorp Pl.2 (underground)

=== Great Chinese Railway ===
The longest straight line without a stop is the '''Great Chinese Railway''' built by Milkydragon69 and GingM8. It stretches over 5000 Blocks and takes over ten minutes to ride, the southern stretches can also be dangerous at night but with innovative cactus technology the builders hope to ward off hostile mobs. Currently the track is not safe for villager or other mob transport, as the tunnel is mostly 2 blocks tall, GingM8 has spoken about needing to raise the height to three blocks.

==== Active Stations (South to North) ====

* Fern Junction (Connects to GCorp)
* North Farlands Station

=== Intergalactic Express ===
This is the most recently completed route. It diagonally connects Snorp to the far away [[Outcast]] and [[Goldenzapka1|Goldenzapkas']] Village and stretches over 5200 blocks diagonally, which equates to about 10000 blocks of rail. Since diagonal rail travels at speeds up to 16 blocks per second travelling the whole line should only take slightly longer than travelling the Great Chinese Railway. This railway also has a stop at the End Portal warp, connecting it to the rest of the network through Snorp.

==== Active Stations (South-East to North-West) ====

* Snorp Pl.3 (underground)
* End Warp Station
* Waxys' Village
* Outcast
* Goldens' Village

== The Ghost Stations - The Copper Line ==
[[File:NA Station.png|alt=New Ardakazia Station sign|thumb|Even the New Ardakazia Station sign is confused about the Ghost Stations.]]
This line consists of multiple stations in different states of disrepair or construction. There are often no exits or nothing there upon leaving the station, this all adds to a traveller feeling lost and in the wrong place altogether. The most well known group of Ghost Stations is the incomplete Copper Line which starts at the Kasuto Rail Junction and ends in [[New Ardakazia]]. In-between these stops are stations that are either incomplete and abandoned or just in the middle of nowhere with no signs of civilisation. It is likely that these stations are a forgotten part of the Railway System, made obsolete by Elytra and [[Project Glacies|Nether travel]] before they had even been finished.

=== Copper Line Stations ===
* Kasuto Junction

* Monkey Island
* Dinky Island
* Lost Savanna
* [[New Ardakazia]]
[[File:Unfinished Monkey Island Station.png|alt=Monkey Island Station|thumb|The unfinished Monkey Island Railway Station]]

=== More Shadow Stations? ===
Apart from the unfinished Copper Line there way more Ghost Stations. Many of the known stations are stations that either Red or Blue lines do not stop at and that you can see on your journey between stops. Other than these there are believed to be an ''unknown number'' of stations in different states of disrepair just waiting to be discovered. For example the southward route at Mooshroom Station, where does it go?

== Expansion ==
As stated in the beginning, players are always welcome to expand upon the existing rail infrastructure. In the spawn library under the education section there is a guide on how to build railways effectively. There are rumoured to be plans to finish the Copper Line and fully integrate it into the Railway System. In addition to that there are plans to connect GCorp and NewArdakazia by rail.

=== The Beginning ===
At April 12nd 2024 18:32 UTC, {{Player|Ardakaz}} creates the server on Minecraft 1.20.4. A small group of friends starts to play on it.

The server got created because Ard couldn't find any perfect server to play on. Most SMP servers were just same: land claims, too big world, annual resets, a lot of gameplay-changing plugins etc. He also played a bit on [https://minecraftonline.com MinecraftOnline], it was different but not perfect. Ard got some good ideas from there like the lack of claims, smaller world and [[Craftbook]]. ArdakazMC is still not a MinecraftOnline clone: we have a modern version, less strict moderation, no PvP and more space to build.

FAQ

2025-10-24T18:57:57Z

Ardakaz:

This page contains some frequently asked questions.

== Gameplay ==

=== What am I supposed to do? ===
This is a survival multiplayer (SMP) server. You're supposed to mine, build and explore with other people.

=== Does this server have land claims? ===
No. We have a [[Rules#How the rules are enforced?|different approach]].

=== Is PVP allowed? ===
PVP is turned off by default, but there are a few PVP arenas for those who want to battle.

=== Why /rtp has a massive cooldown? ===
That command is for getting started, not exploring.

=== Is keep-inventory on? ===
No.

=== How do I get an elytra? ===
[[File:Crafting elytra.png|thumb]]
You can craft one. The Ender Dragon drops an egg everytime when killed.

=== How do I get [[ranks]]? ===
By playing and voting.

=== Why the world has a border? ===
There are many reasons:

# Minecraft updates sometimes change the world generation. We want to offer a quite short distance to new features.
# It makes people to live more near each other which is fun.
# The disk space is not infinite.

=== What Minecraft versions are supported? ===
