ZGMC — Zero Gravity Minecraft | Alpha Testers Wanted

[Jackel]

Zero Gravity Minecraft​

Nine blocks. One void. A world to build.​

Ever wondered what you could build if you started with practically nothing?

ZGMC (Zero Gravity Minecraft) is a live, experimental Minecraft multiplayer survival project where resources must be discovered, space is limited, and players help build a shared world from the ground up.

We're looking for our Original Zero Gravity (OZG) testers to explore the experience, test its mechanics, report bugs, and help shape the project's future.

Not Your Typical Skyblock​

ZGMC takes inspiration from Skyblock, but it's developing its own approach to survival and progression.

You begin on a tiny 3×3 dirt platform suspended in the void. There is no established overworld waiting for you and no endless supply of resources.

You'll need to make the most of what you have, discover resource deposits, experiment with the available mechanics, and gradually expand what's possible.

Your platform is your starting point, not your limit.

What awaits you?​

• Start small: Survive and work with your limited starting resources.
• Discover resources: Explore randomized floating deposits and uncover what the world offers.
• Solve problems: Experiment with the mechanics and find creative solutions to survival challenges.
• Build together: Contribute to a persistent shared world that grows through player effort.
• Influence development: Your feedback helps identify bugs, balance issues, and frustrating mechanics.

This isn't about rushing through a predefined progression path. It's about discovering what can be built when everyone starts with almost nothing.

Help Us Test ZGMC​

We're looking for curious, committed players who want to be involved early in a developing multiplayer experience.

You don't need to be a Skyblock expert, an experienced builder, or a Minecraft veteran.

We're interested in players willing to:

• Explore the current gameplay and progression.
• Test mechanics and report bugs.
• Share honest, constructive feedback.
• Identify confusing or unnecessarily frustrating systems.
• Play at their own pace and help us improve the experience.

You don't need to write an essay to apply. We're looking for people who genuinely want to play, experiment, and help make ZGMC better.

Help Build Something Different​

ZGMC is still taking shape, and that's precisely why we're inviting players in now.

If you enjoy experimenting, discovering new mechanics, overcoming survival challenges, and contributing to something that's still being built, we'd love to have you involved.

We're not looking for players to simply pass through. We're looking for people who want to help us discover what ZGMC can become.

Nine blocks. One void. A world to build.

Come be part of the beginning.
