Minor Rules & Etiquette
Nothing here will cause action against your account unless you are a repeat offender after multiple warnings.
Please do not build within 50 blocks of someone else’s claim without their permission. Your region may be moved by staff if attempts to contact you are not successful.
Do not hoard excessive claims. Please refrain from claiming areas you’re not going to use just for the sake of ‘having them’. Land is a limited resource- please share!
Do not create un-contained 1x1 tunnels where random people can fall in them. As long as they are covered with a trapdoor or wall they are fine.
Do not create massive FPS lag in an area around others. e.g. Excessive flowing lava and water, unreseaonably large automatic farms, etc. Structures may be removed with no warning if found to be causing serious harmful lag.
Private Animal farms (such as chickens) are prohibited.
Do not set homes for the purpose of bypassing a barrier of some kind. e.g. EV areas to bypass payment, inside of minigames to gain an advantage, inside of players’ homes without permission, etc.
Do not excessively spam chat. Excessive is at least 3 or more of the same thing in one page of chat (x3 caps lock posts, x3 same post of spam, 3x auctions with no interest, etc.)
Do not excessively beg for handouts. Our community is friendly and will probably give you something simple if you ask nicely on occasion! Please do not abuse this kindness.
Do not pose as a staff member. Reminding or explaining rules to other players is fine, but it is not your job to enforce them.
Report potential exploits you found to Staff. The moment you notice something may be exploitable please let a Staff Member know via DMs or other private channels. DO NOT make exploits public.
Do not intentionally disrupt the server or other players in any way. e.g. Knowingly causing lag or server crashes, starting drama among players, bullying, or disrupting other players’ gameplay experience.
Players may only have a single color in their nickname. Staff members recieve a 2-tone gradient name while they are staff, and former Admins may keep their multicolored nicknames. If you find a way to circumvent this, please report it to staff and do not exploit it.
Basically, don’t be a d*ck 'Diglett.'
Use your common sense and ensure your actions don’t disrupt another player’s gaming experience.
Feel free to ask for clarification.
Disclaimers
🔹 We reserve the right to modify or add to the rules at our discretion without notice (and without placing them in this list) in order to handle any variation of offenses.
🔹 We reserve the right to refuse or cancel the service of any user at any time. By logging in to our server or Discord, you acknowledge that you have fully read and understood the rules and agree to follow them. Breaking these rules will result in a consequence determined appropriate by staff, which may be as simple as a warning or as severe as a permanent ban.
🔹 You are responsible for your account. If you let someone play on your account, you are held responsible for his/her actions. If they get your account banned, it was your responsibility to ensure they read and followed the rules. If someone 'hacks' your account you will still be held responsible. Please keep your account secure.
🔹 If an Alt is used in a situation where an advantage is gained the prizes or rewards can be taken away, voided and/or the player can be banned from similar events or from the server, depending on the severity.
🔹 Your land may be claimed by someone else if you have not logged in for 90+ days. We do not actively look for old claims to delete them. If an active player wants to claim land that is claimed by another player who has not logged in for 90 days or more, the land will be wiped, regenerated, and given to the active player. Significant structures that have been abandoned may be auctioned off instead of wiped.
🔹 Teleporting is at your own risk. You will not be refunded by admins if you are scammed, but reported scammers will face appropriate consequences. If you are wronged in some way by a player, please report it to Staff ASAP.
🔹 Griefing, raiding, and stealing is not allowed. However, there will be no refunds if you did not protect your home using our claim plugin. Simply clearing land and placing chests does not make the land yours. Unless claimed, until there is definitively a build or obvious proof that there is future intent for the land, it is free to claim. If another player that you trusted onto your claim Griefs/Raids/Steals items from your claim, please report it ASAP to a moderator.
🔹 Taking apricorns IS NOT stealing and is acceptable as they regrow quickly. Contact staff if you feel a player is abusing your farms in some way.
🔹 Picking up items from a player who died is NOT stealing. However, causing the player’s death is a bannable offense.
🔹 If your items are stolen from you, an attempt can be made by staff to retrieve them from the thief. Please note that the victim’s items will not be refunded by admins if this is not possible, but the offending player (thief) will always face appropriate consequences.
🔹 These rules are here to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience on the server. If you are not technically breaking a rule, but are intentionally trolling or making a disturbance after multiple warnings by staff, you may still be issued a ban.
