Server rule violations are handled by staff and may result in rollback, mute, kick, temporary ban, or permanent ban. These are different from in-game crimes, which are handled by the server’s law system.
1. Respect and Conduct
Treat other players with basic respect. Harassment, hate speech, slurs, and targeted toxic behavior are not allowed anywhere — chat, Discord, signs, books, or any other medium.
Disagreements happen. Resolve them in-game through the law system or through staff mediation if needed.
2. No Cheating or Hacks
Do not use hacked clients, cheat mods, or any modification that gives an unfair gameplay advantage. This includes:
- X-ray texture packs or mods
- Auto-clickers or macros that automate clicking
- Fly or speed hacks
- Kill aura or combat assist mods
Approved mods include OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, minimaps (without entity radar), and performance mods.
3. No X-Ray
X-ray is a separate, explicit ban. This includes X-ray resource packs, X-ray mods, and any method of seeing through terrain to locate ores, structures, or other players. Evidence of X-ray patterns in a player’s mining history is sufficient for action.
4. No Duplication or Exploits
Do not duplicate items, currency, or any resource through any bug, exploit, or unintended game mechanic. If you discover a duplication bug, report it to staff immediately. Using it — even once — is a bannable offense.
5. No Griefing
Do not destroy, modify, or steal from other players’ land or buildings without permission. This includes:
- Breaking blocks on player-owned land
- Stealing from chests
- Killing another player’s animals or livestock on their land
- Building to block or harass a neighboring build
6. No Illegal Automation
Fully automatic and AFK farms are prohibited. This means:
- No farms that operate without a player present and actively interacting
- No AFK fish farms
- No zero-tick farms
- No auto-kill farms without meaningful manual activation
Semi-automatic farms are allowed only when meaningful player interaction is required at each cycle.
Automation Policy
The full automation policy covers what is and isn’t allowed in more detail. Reference it when building any kind of farm or production system.
7. No Harassment
Targeted harassment of any player is not allowed. This includes repeatedly killing the same player to grief them, following players to interfere with their work, and spamming messages or signs to harass a player.
8. No Lag Machines
Do not build redstone contraptions, entity farms, or any device designed or likely to cause server lag. Staff will remove lag machines and the player may face disciplinary action.
9. Staff Decisions and Appeals
Staff decisions are final in the short term. If you believe a punishment was unjust, submit an appeal through the official process. Do not evade bans with alternate accounts — ban evasion results in a permanent ban of all associated accounts.
Server Rules vs. In-Game Crimes
| Server Rules | In-Game Crimes | |
|---|---|---|
| Handled by | Staff | Law system (courts, fines) |
| Examples | Hacking, griefing, harassment | Theft, trespassing, assault |
| Punishment | Mute, kick, ban | Fine, jail, plot eviction |
| Appeal | Staff appeal | Court/legal process |
Breaking server rules may also constitute an in-game crime, and both systems may apply simultaneously.
