well, would you rather a map filled with creeper craters? cause, people could always lure creepers into your house and blow em up, cause, worldgaurd dosent protect against explosions, so you disable them rather than having a map filled with holes.and - theres no validation, you join, you build, thats it, the warps and stuff help you get places faster, and the Hub allows us to give you a hand in building, theres a few free reasource signs at spawn, and a few more located throughout the server at certain spawns of cities, Eternia for example has free wool of every colour.
