Survival Rules

This is a fair-play, community-driven world with custom features like economy, jobs, crates, shops, warps, and more. To keep the experience smooth and respectful for everyone, the following rules must be followed at all times.

General Rules

These rules apply to all players at all times and are focused on maintaining a respectful and safe community environment, both in-game and in chat.

Be respectful to everyone

Treat other players with kindness. No bullying, harassment, personal attacks, racism, sexism, or hate speech.  Jokes that target race, gender, disability, religion, or nationality are not tolerated.

Toxic behavior in chat or voice will result in punishment.

Keep Chat Clean

No excessive swearing, spam, or offensive language. No slurs, NSFW content, or drama in public chat. Minimal swearing is allowed as long as its not directed towards another player. Use English in global chat for clarity and moderation.

No Cheats, Hacks or Auto Clickers

Hacked clients, X-ray, auto clickers, macros, or any third-party tools that give an unfair advantage are strictly prohibited. This includes automated clicking for farms, mob grinders, or mining. If it plays the game for you while you’re AFK — it’s not allowed.  No hacked clients, X-ray, kill aura, fly mods, autoclickers, macros, or bots. Mods that give unfair gameplay advantages are prohibited. Allowed mods: OptiFine, minimap without player/entity radar, litematica, performance mods.

No Bug Exploitation

Report all bugs and exploits to staff immediately. Using glitches (dupes, invincibility, glitching through walls, bypassing cooldowns) is strictly forbidden.

No Spamming or Advertising

Don’t spam chat, commands, or use macros to flood messages. Advertising other servers, Discords, or YouTube/Twitch content without owner permission is not allowed. This includes in chat, usernames, skins, or builds.

​

To ensure moderation is fair and consistent, global/public chat must be in English. Private messages can be in any language.

Island and Claim Rules

Protecting builds and respecting other players' space is essential.

Claim Your Island

Use the claim plugin (e.g. /claim) to protect your area. Unclaimed land is not protected from griefing even if it is against the rules. Claim only what you actively use — excessive claiming is highly discouraged. Keep the world looking as neat as possible for future explorers!

No Griefing or Raiding

Even unclaimed bases must be respected. Griefing and theft are not allowed, regardless of claim status.  Taking from farms, containers, or builds that aren't yours is theft.

Respect Nearby Claims

Do not build right next to another claim without permission. Stay atleast 150 blocks away from another build if you do not have permission. No claim blocking, encasing, trolling, or creating visual eyesores near others.

No Inappropriate Builds

NSFW, offensive, or hate-symbol builds will be removed. Staff may delete anything deemed harmful or inappropriate.

No Lag Machines or Spam Builds

Redstone clocks, massive hopper chains, TNT cannons, or large mobs/item clumps that cause lag will be removed. Players may be warned, punished, or rolled back. Contact staff if you feel the need to build something that can possibly lag the server, we will help with your design and possibly minimize the lag it creates. 

Survival Gameplay Rules

Core rules around how players interact with the survival environment.

​No PvP without consent

Redstone contraptions must be optimized and not run continuously unless necessary. Excessive hoppers, pistons, or mob farms that cause lag will be removed.

Play fair — no AFK abuse

AFK farming (e.g. rubberbanding, AFK pool XP farms) is not allowed.  Jobs, quests, and spawner farms must be used legitimately.

Respect the world

Don’t strip-mine public areas or destroy natural terrain for no reason. No massive pillar spam, floating trees (theres treefeller for a reason), or “griefing” the landscape.

No spawn camping or warp trolling

Don’t loiter at spawn, warps, or player homes to troll or annoy others. Do not set homes or warps in/near other players' claims without permission.

Economy & Server Features

Keep the economy fair and functional for all players. No monopolies or monopolists.

No Scamming

All trades must be completed as agreed. Do not scam players through shops, signs, or manual trades. All trades must be fair and agreed upon. Use chest shops or a staff middleman for safe transactions. Trick trades or misleading shop signs are not allowed.

No abusing shops, crates, or auction house

Do not spam the auction house (/ah) with overpriced or junk items. No fake listings, duplicates, or economic exploits. Market manipulation (e.g. wiping out competition maliciously, or becoming a monopolist) is discouraged and may result in admin intervention if abused.

​Use suffixes and cosmetics appropriately

Custom suffixes, tags, or pets must be appropriate.  Be aware some might have personal issues with epilepsy or seizures so try to keep your nicknames and tags consistant (without major changes half way through). No offensive symbols, names, or impersonation of staff or other players.

Leaderboards are for fair play

Do not farm kills, use alts, or exploit mechanics to climb leaderboards. Stats manipulation will result in leaderboard removal or punishment. Staff can also blacklist you from all leaderboards if necessary.

Jobs and Quests must be used properly

Do not auto-farm jobs or cheat quest systems. Play the game manually and follow job limitations.

Punishment Policy

Explains how rule-breaking is handled by staff, including the steps for warnings, tempbans, and permanent bans based on the severity of the offense.
