Failure to follow these rules will result in a ban.

• Respect Spawn: Do not break or modify anything in spawn. Use /kit for starter items.
• No Griefing: Don’t alter, loot, or destroy others' builds without permission. Pranks must be pre-approved via ticket so staff can back up the world.
• Land & Stealing: Unclaimed land is free game, but stealing isn’t. Don’t take from chests, frames, farms, or trespass unless clearly marked public or shared. Don’t build within 150 blocks of spawn or near others without consent. Claim or mark your land.

1.0 PvP is Always On

PvP is always enabled unless you're in a protected area like spawn or during staff-hosted events.

• You may only attack players you can physically hit. Using cheats, exploits, or attacking through barriers/protected zones is not allowed.
• Harassment through repeated targeting or making it impossible for someone to play (e.g., constant raids or stalking) is prohibited.

1.05 PVP rules for Events:

Private Events & PvP Boundaries

If a private event—such as a raid, house party, bar gathering, or similar—is clearly marked or announced as "no PvP", then PvP is strictly prohibited during the event and in its vicinity.

If no PvP status is stated, then the event is considered PvP-optional and players may engage in combat at their own risk. Always respect the host’s posted rules or announcements.

1.1 PvP Status and Communication

• You are responsible for making your PvP status clear.
• Players can switch between PvP and non-PvP at any time, but it must be clearly communicated in chat.
• Use the code “77” to signal that you do not want to PvP. If a player continues attacking after this, staff will take action.
• Staff are not responsible if you fail to set your role or communicate your status.

1.2 Respect and Behavior

• No gloating, taunting, or harassing players after a fight.
• Examples: “ez,” “they’re a coward,” “they won’t fight me,” etc.
• Insults involving intelligence, appearance, exclusion, trauma, or slurs are forbidden.
• Suicide jokes or references are strictly prohibited.

1.3 Spawn and Claim Protection

• Spawn camping or spawn killing is not allowed.
• Don’t repeatedly kill players near spawn, in safe zones, or immediately outside of their claims/beds/homes.
• If a player leaves safety to fight, they’re fair game—but don’t abuse it.
• Do not loiter near enemy land just to provoke players. If you’re not pvping or visiting, stay back.

1.4 Trapping & Camping Rules

• Traps must have a clear and fair escape route.
• No sealed holes, fall traps inside claims, or blocked tunnels.
• If you lure someone into a trap structure, it counts and must follow trap rules.
• You may camp logout spots or claims, but:
• Stay within 20 blocks of the claim when camping.
• Do not trap logout spots. You may stay near them but not trap them.

1.5 PvP Conduct

• No baiting players into hitting first just to gain combat status or justify killing.
• No logging out mid-fight (combat logging). This may result in penalties or heart loss.
• No grief-trapping bases purely to farm PvP kills or hearts.

1.6 PvP Fairness

• No teaming in solo events.
• In 1v1s, free-for-alls, or solo tournaments, teaming is not allowed unless staff says otherwise.
• No using alt accounts to farm hearts—this will result in a reset or ban.
• PvP during events or staff games may be restricted—follow all instructions.

1.4.1 Insults based on intelligence, appearance, or social exclusion are not allowed.

1.5 Serious accusations (e.g. fascist, pedophile) without evidence are not allowed. Report credible concerns via ticket. Discrimination (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) is banned. Religion does not justify breaking this rule. Slurs are not allowed.

Players may freely sell their own goods, but prices must be reasonable. Intentionally overcharging, undercutting drastically to disrupt others, or abusing price differences to exploit players is not allowed.

3. No Market Flooding

Do not oversaturate the market with excessive quantities of an item to gain dominance or devalue other players' shops. This includes hoarding and dumping items to manipulate prices.

4. Shop Ownership

Each player may own and manage shops or vending areas. All shops must be labeled with the owner’s name and kept stocked regularly.

5. Currency Integrity

No duplicating, counterfeiting, or exploiting the economy system in any form. Any detected manipulation will result in immediate account audit and rollback.

6. Taxes & Fees (If Applicable)

If taxes, rent, or transaction fees are implemented, they must be paid regularly to retain your shop space or access to premium markets.

7. Transparent Trading

All player-to-player trades should occur in public or designated trading zones. Private deals are at your own risk but must still follow server rules.

8. Admin Shops

Admin-run shops are used for inflation control and item accessibility. These are not to be used for personal profit and should not be exploited for gain.

9. Black Market Clause

Selling illegal, unapproved, or glitched items will result in immediate confiscation and punishment. If you're unsure about an item, ask staff.

2.0 Graves / Grave Robbing

2.1 Don’t fully enclose a grave—an obvious exit is required. (You may trap it but it can not be impossible, NOR be farmed for hearts is against the rules)

2.2 Don’t claim land around a grave unless it’s in your pre-owned claim.

2.3 Intentionally triggering a player’s grave (e.g., via item baiting) is not allowed.

2.4 You may grave rob any OPEN grave you may find. It will notify the user of the grave.

2.5 YOU MAY NOT constantly go after the same grave to target the same person.

3.2 Claiming Rules

3.3 Naming & Ownership

• Lands/Nations cannot be named after real-world places or resemble them

The land owner has full control (invites, removals, deletion)

▸ Transfers give full control to the new owner—contracts don’t override this

3.4 Structures, Housing/Claims/Lands & Griefing

Griefing is never allowed—whether in claims or wilderness. Only the claim owner or builder may authorize structural changes. Destruction in war is only allowed if the war terms permit it. Stealing is not griefing—protect valuables in claims.

Griefing Examples (Not Allowed):

• Destroying infrastructure (roads, rails, tunnels, bridges, etc.)
• Blocking or spamming public paths
• Using lava/water to create large or obstructive structures
• ▸ Walls must be reasonable in size and placed near claims.

❌ Not allowed in claimed land, can be marked with a head, sign and or claim themselves. This includes stealing/griefing crops, mobs, blocks, etc.

4.0 Heart Cap Limit

1. Players may carry a maximum of 3 spare hearts at any time. This includes hearts in inventory or stored nearby. Exceeding this limit is not allowed.

4.1 No Heart Hoarding

Creating stashes of hearts (hidden or public) is strictly prohibited unless the stash is:

• Shared between 2 players
• Used only in emergencies (e.g. one of you is down to 1 heart or less).
• Abuse of shared stashes will result in penalties for both parties.

4.2 Farming Is Not Allowed

• Repeatedly farming the same player for hearts is considered abuse and will not be tolerated.
• Farming hearts from alternate accounts (alts) is strictly forbidden.

4.3 No Heart Regen Loops

1. Intentionally losing and regaining hearts through artificial means (e.g. coordinated deaths, trading deaths) to stockpile is against the rules.

4.4 Play Fair, Stay Balanced

1. The goal of the heart system is to raise the stakes—not to give certain players unfair advantages through loopholes or exploits. Staff may investigate suspicious heart activity at any time.

4.5 Admin Shops and Hearts

• There will always be a single admin shop at Spawn to carry hearts for purchases.
• The crafting recipes for hearts is EXPENSIVE. Grinding for the materials is fine but constantly having a stack of 20 hearts ready and prepared is against the rules. (You may have 3 hearts ready in an Echest or in your base, but you may not have a stash of more then 6 hearts total.)
• If the hearts system is being abused and or shop is constantly being abused, we will close off the shop till the economy is adjusted and is no major fluctuations.
• THESE RULES CAN AND WILL BE ADDED TO.

• We are not entitled to give you items from creative etc. Do not ask.

Allowed: Optifine, minimaps (Disable that may give u advantage in PVP etc. Use it for intended purpose of navigation only), shaders, and cosmetic mods. We strongly encourage replay mods/client side stuff to help you capture anything that may happen in game. (OBS works as well)

While you are allowed to use a client side minimap, you may not have it enabled to show players near you, BUT you can use it to show mobs etc. That is its intended use, its a MAP. But we will not allow PVP disadvantages/advantages.

You may use free cam but nothing with ill intent. Only use it for building.

Alternate Accounts

• You may use multiple accounts with prior staff approval, but all accounts must follow the rules. Exploiting, cheating, or abusing in-game systems will result in the alt being banned without warning. (Alternate accounts used without permission may be banned.)

Not allowed:

1. Real-World Transactions

• This includes digital services, items, or ranks.

If you engage in real-world trades and get scammed, staff will not intervene.

• Keeping a Wither alive as a "pet," for show, or locked away for cosmetic/bossbar purposes is not allowed.
• Withers should only be spawned with clear intent to kill.

4. Blackmail

• Using threats or withheld information (e.g., evidence of rule-breaking) to force someone into action is not allowed.

5. Exploits & Bugs

• Always report exploits. See #bugs-and-reports for currently tracked issues.

6. Circumventing Group Restrictions

Doing so may result in the restriction still applying or further penalties.

7. Punishment Evasion

• Assisting others in evading punishment or failing to report known evaders is also a violation. This includes using a second account to evade a ban/removal etc.

• Any client or mod that gives a competitive or gameplay-altering advantage is not allowed.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Autoclickers or click-altering tools
• Radar or X-ray mods
• Mods that reveal hidden information or automate tasks
• Use only what’s on the official allowed/blacklisted mods list. If unsure, ask staff before using it.

Rule of thumb: If a mod gives you info or abilities you wouldn’t normally have—it’s probably disallowed.

1. Serious accusations (e.g. fascist, pedophile) without evidence are not allowed. Report credible concerns via ticket. Discrimination (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) is banned. Religion does not justify breaking this rule. Slurs are not allowed.

2. Do not deny or downplay real-world tragedies or extremist groups (e.g. Nazis, 9/11).

• Mega builds are perfectly fine as they do get used and not just a waste of space/decoration. We expect the builds to be used as actual homes etc.

• You may AFK to farm, but using scripts, autoclickers, redstone machines, or any method that keeps you online without being actively at your device is prohibited and will result in punishment.
