Rules
Please read these rules and follow them while playing.
1. No activities that involve or are related to demonic things (such as satanic things/satanism), sorcery, witchcraft, spiritualism (such as seances or haunting by ghosts), spells, divination (such as palm or tarot card reading), contacting or interacting with the dead (such as using a crystal ball or summoning the dead), astrology, worship of false gods/spirits, etc. This applies to written/verbal content such as messages in-game (chat, signs, etc.) and in the discord, as well as direct activities.
2. No obscene or profane language, activities or creations, such as cursing ("f***", "sh**", "OMG"/"oh my G**", etc.), "uncalled for" builds (need I give examples?), profanity in motion/chat, etc.
2.1. No hateful, violent, or otherwise harsh language or behavior, such as verbally attacking or harassing other players, falsely calling out/accusing other players of doing something wrong, etc.
3. Be kind to other players. Respect their property, privacy and decisions, as you value your own. Do to them as you would have done to you.
4. Always respect those of authority*, whether they are in-game or not (say, just in discord). Do as they say. Don't mistreat them and give them proper respect.
5. Respect other players’ land claims and possessions. Do not modify anything in their claim(s), which means: (a) do not add anything, such as putting items in containers or placing blocks (b) remove anything, such as taking items from containers, breaking blocks, or hurting/killing mobs (c) change anything, such as rotating item frames, changing repeater delays or comparator modes, flipping levers or pressing buttons, opening/closing doors/trapdoors/gates, or feeding animals/other mobs, or (d) trigger anything, such as holding an item that lures animals/other mobs away, pushing a minecart into a mob forcing it into the minecart, causing monsters to spawn that will attack mobs or players in the claim, or throwing an ender pearl that spawns an endermite. This also includes abiding by any instructions or rules they have set up for their claims/possessions, unless following them means going against the server rules. If a player
does set up rules/instructions that in order to follow them you must violate the rules, don't follow them and immediately report it to a staff member*, and they'll handle it.
5.1. Do not take players’ violating actions into your own hands. There's management officials for a reason. If you witness someone violating a rule (including this one, but priority is the other rules),
immediately notify a staff member and it will be taken care of. However, if you have been wronged, you
are allowed to take actions that can hinder the offender from doing more harm against you. This also applies for when you see someone else being wronged, too.
6. Respect and take care with naturally generated but not already discovered structures or land. Give others a chance and some time to see it and check it out before you do what you want with it. This only applies to building directly on/in it, destroying blocks from it, attacking/killing mobs, starting fires on, in or near it, placing lava/water, spawning/causing to spawn destructive mobs (i.e. creepers, blazes, withers, etc.), placing and igniting TNT, etc. The best way to go about it before you do these things is to announce that you found the discovery and where it is (or at least an estimate) so others know you found it, and if they respond with wanting to check it out, that's when you wait for them to check it out, then after they're done you can do what you want with it. This is also what is officially recognized by the server as how to treat discoveries while following the rules.
Also, use common sense when following these rules—don’t just follow them literally. If you have a question if something specific is against the rules or any other question, please do ask a staff member* or just me (Lego_Master_A).
If you’ve been banned, you may request to be pardoned if you are told you may, but don’t be careless: if you make such a request without actually having the intent to stop doing whatever it is that got you banned, you may be permanently banned without being allowed to request a pardon again if it is discovered that you don’t have that intention or you
do do it again. You can appeal by submitting this form:
