The rules in spawn.

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

Griefing

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 That kind of claims are no longer valid if the players becomes inactive.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. For example, you can allow your friend (Steve) to build with you by writing following into a sign: Steve has perms to modify my builds.

Temporary permissions can be also given in chat. They will expire in 24 hours.

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

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.

Chat rules

These rules apply to chat and signs.

  1. Spamming is not allowed.
  2. No any kind of bullying.
  3. No racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination.
  4. No topics that are inappropriate for children.
  5. Advertising other servers is not allowed.
  6. Do not impersonate staff.
  7. Do not break the law.

Client modifications

It's not allowed to use any mods that give you an unfair advantage over other players.

Allowed mods

  • Performance improvements (like Optifine)
  • Any purely aesthetic modifications
  • Minimaps (without underground)
  • Inventory sorters and shortcuts
  • Build aids like Litematica
  • World downloaders (only for your own builds)

Disallowed mods

  • Mods that allows you to fly, jump higher, run faster or move through blocks etc.
  • Fastbreak/fastplace
  • X-ray
  • Invincibility
  • Fullbright

Other rules

  1. Killing players outside PVP arenas is not allowed. This includes luring or teleporting players into danger.
  2. Traps are only allowed if trapped areas are clearly marked to warn players.
  3. Do not build lag machines or chunk loaders.
  4. Do not build anything that is violent or explicit. This includes references to genocides, terrorism or wars.
  5. Bypassing the AFK check with macros or similar is not allowed.

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.

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. It's for everyone.
