ArdakazMC has three main rules:
== No griefing or stealing ==
Modifying other people's builds without a permission is called '''griefing''' and it's strictly prohibited here. This includes following actions:
 
* Breaking or placing blocks.
* Taking items from or putting items into containers (chests, barrels, furnaces, armor stands etc.).
* Killing mobs or other entities.
Terraformed areas are considered as builds. It's also possible to claim a small area using a sign. That kind of claims are no longer valid if the players becomes inactive.
 
=== Permissions ===
Permissions to do above things are usually given via signs.
* If you’re collaborating with someone, add a sign in the building listing your names and ”have perms for this build”.
* If you allow someone to your your chests, write the playername and ”has perms”.
* If you share a base with someone, write ”Shared base:” and playernames.


== No griefing or stealing ==
The permission signs need to be written by the person who owns the build/chests or has a permission from their owner.
Harming other people's builds is strictly forbidden. That means:
 
# Do not destroy or modify someone else's build without their permission.
Temporary permissions can be also given in chat. They will expire in 24 hours. You can also give permissions in the wiki and forum.
# Do not take items from someone else's container without their permission.
 
# Do not kill players. PVP is off except in some designated areas. Traps are allowed but trapped areas must be clearly marked to warn players.
Also, if two players are logged in from same IP, they have full perms for each other's stuff.
# Do not kill pastured mobs or animals inside a build.
# Harming the server is also forbidden so don't build lag machines or chunk loaders.


=== Exceptions ===
Without permissions given, taking or breaking anything will be considered grief.
* You can connect into public infrastructure like roads.
* You can use people's farms as long as you replant the crops same way.
* You can break single blocks etc. that don't have any purpose
* Use signs or chat to give permissions. Chat-based permissions are always temporary.


'''NOTE:''' We have an advanced alert system that reports all grief/stealing for blocks that are not your own. You will also see an alert in-game, if this happens. Mods are able to see the alerts even off-game and WILL know what has happened. In case of accidents, apologies are accepted and mods will assume good faith. Not responding to moderators or leaving the server without resolving grief or stealing will result in banning. Repeated rule breaking even after promises to follow the rules will also result in banning.
=== Other exceptions to above ===


== No spamming, bullying or discrimination ==
* Breaking simple builds without any purpose (single blocks, temporary bridges etc.) is allowed. Ask from a moderator if unsure!
Be nice in chat:
* Connecting into public infrastructure like roads is allowed.
# Do not spam. Repeating same thing many times or just typing nonsense into chat is spamming.
* Crop farms can be used as long as you replant the crops same way.
# No personal attacks against other people.
# No racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism or any other discrimination.
# No topics that are inappropriate for children. This includes explicit builds.
== No cheating ==
== No cheating ==
Do not use any mods that can give you an unfair advantage towards other players.

* Minimaps (without underground)
 
* Performance improvements (like Optifine)

The rules in spawn.

You must follow these rules while playing on the server. Rule breakers will be first warned and then banned. If you are unsure about something, feel free to ask from our moderators. Please use common sense!

No griefing or stealing

Modifying other people's builds without a permission is called griefing and it's strictly prohibited here. This includes following actions:

  • Breaking or placing blocks.
  • Taking items from or putting items into containers (chests, barrels, furnaces, armor stands etc.).
  • Killing mobs or other entities.

Terraformed areas are considered as builds. It's also possible to claim a small area using a sign. That kind of claims are no longer valid if the players becomes inactive.

Permissions

Permissions to do above things are usually given via signs.

  • If you’re collaborating with someone, add a sign in the building listing your names and ”have perms for this build”.
  • If you allow someone to your your chests, write the playername and ”has perms”.
  • If you share a base with someone, write ”Shared base:” and playernames.

The permission signs need to be written by the person who owns the build/chests or has a permission from their owner.

Temporary permissions can be also given in chat. They will expire in 24 hours. You can also give permissions in the wiki and forum.

Also, if two players are logged in from same IP, they have full perms for each other's stuff.

Without permissions given, taking or breaking anything will be considered grief.

Other exceptions to above

  • Breaking simple builds without any purpose (single blocks, temporary bridges etc.) is allowed. Ask from a moderator if unsure!
  • Connecting into public infrastructure like roads is allowed.
  • Crop farms can be used as long as you replant the crops same way.

No cheating

  • Fastbreak/fastplace
  • X-ray
  • Invincibility

  • Auto-click that’s faster than a human or used when the player is afk

  • Minimaps (without underground)
  • Inventory sorters and shortcuts
  • Build aids like Litematica (for showing schematics, not for auto-placement)

How the rules are enforced?

I must admit I've never seen an actual server ran like this before. I don't know how this manages to hold up and work but its a miracle which makes it special. – 16.png Headcruncher1

Unlike most servers, we don't have land claims or similar protection against griefing. To keep the vanilla gameplay, we have a different approach:

  • Every action is logged so moderators can check who griefed. They also get alerts about likely rule violations.
  • Due to this, grief is also very quick to repair and harmful people get banned before they do any serious damage.

We have zero-tolerance for any kind of discrimination. Racial slurs will get you immediately permabanned.

Special areas

Some special areas have a little different rules:

  • All kinds of builds are not allowed in the spawn. Read more here.
  • Griefing is allowed in the main island of End but keep it looking nice.
