== Gameplay Rules ==  
  Staff decisions are made case-by-case.


=== 1. No Hacking/Xray/Abuse of Exploits ===  
  Attempting to exploit “loopholes” will be treated the same as breaking the rule directly.
Any use of a '''Hacked Client''' / Utility Mod such as ''Meteor'', ''Wurst'', or similar is not allowed and will result in a ban.


Use of regular mods that give an unfair advantage, such as a minimap that displays entities/caves, players/mobs HP, etc., is not allowed and will result in a ban.
If unsure about a mod, a connection method, or a project: Ask staff before doing it.


* Use of Xray, Fly Hacks, or other "cheats" that do not affect other players will result in: 
= Gameplay Rules =
1 Year Ban (With or without appeal)
          OR
Permanant Bans (With or without an appeal after 1 Year)


* The admins will take every ban as case by case and will determine if they deserver an appeal depending on what the individual did to cause their ban.
=== Hacked Clients, X-Ray, and Unfair Advantages ===
* Any form of advantage used to kill or target another player will '''always''' result in a permanent ban (NO APPEAL), and compensation to those affected ''(This is the one condition where a player could be revived on the server.)''
'''Not allowed under any circumstances:'''


* Use of '''Replay Mod''' is allowed, but using it to locate hidden structures or players (including the location in which a player has logged out) is '''strictly not allowed'''. Be careful if you plan on making cinematics of the server. 
* Any hacked client (Meteor, Wurst, etc.)
* Any mod that provides unfair advantages (entity/cave radar, HP bars, etc.)
* X-ray, fly hacks, illegal visual mods, “pie chart/ray”, F3 entity counter
* Fullbright + no-fog to see debris under lava
* Any method that reveals ores, structures, entities, or bases that cannot normally be seen
* Any PvP optimizer mods (e.g., Crystal Optimizers or Anchor Optimizers)
* “Easy Place” or any external placing mods
** Easy Place is known to set off the anticheat
* Using the seed to locate structures, biomes, or resources
* Showing illegal mods or hacked clients in public videos
* Using Replay Mod to locate bases, hidden structures, players, or logout spots
* Using minimaps that reveal entities, caves, or structures
** '''Only Xaero’s Fairplay Minimap is allowed, or JourneyMap with Entities and Caves turned off.'''
* Certain utility mods are permitted, provided they do not offer any competitive advantage or alter core gameplay balance.


* Use of '''Minimaps''' is allowed as long as no entities , structures, or caves can be found with it. ''Xaero's Fairplay Minimap'' is the only officially supported minimap mod on the server. 
==== Punishments ====


* Recording and uploading a public video showing off illegal mods, or hacked clients on the server will result in a harsher punishment.
* '''Unfair advantages that affect only yourself:'''
* Use of the seed to locate structures, biomes, etc. is strictly forbidden and said use of said seed would result in a harsh punishment same goes for distributing the seed out to players as well.
** ''1-year ban'' (appeal optional)
* Use of PvP optimizer mods (ex. Crystal Optimizer) is not allowed and will result in a harsh punishment.
** or ''Permanent ban'' (appeal optional)
* No use of easy place or any external placing mods.
** Final decision is case-by-case.
'''Illegal Items'''
* '''Unfair advantages used to target/kill another player:'''
** '''Permanent ban — NO APPEAL'''
** Players who are killed as a result of another player’s unfair advantage will be eligible for revival. Refer to the "Revives" section for full details.


''<u>Any illegal items that have rather been created and or stolen from /event world and taken to the main world will be removed and the user will face a permanent ban</u>''
==== Definition of X-Ray ====
X-ray includes '''any method''' of locating hidden blocks or entities outside normal gameplay. This includes, but is not limited to:


==== Definition of Xray ====
* X-ray resource packs
''Xray'' is considered any form of locating ores, chests, structures, entities, or bases that a player could not normally find or see. 
* The F3 entity counter when used to locate hidden mobs, ores, or structures
* Fullbright, no-fog, FOV/POV manipulation, or any visual trick used to see under or through lava or other obstructive blocks
* Any visual modification designed to reveal underground features


This includes: 
However, '''visual tweaks that only make ores slightly brighter—while still requiring normal gameplay to locate them—are allowed''', as they do not expose hidden blocks or provide information unavailable through standard play.
* Use of the Pie Chart and entity counter (even though they are inside the Vanilla Client). 
* Using No-Fog Mods + Fullbright to find Ancient Debris under Lava Lakes
* Any method that visually or mechanically reveals hidden objects beyond vanilla gameplay.


'''If it looks like Xray, it will be treated as such.'''
If a method provides hidden information or ''resembles'' X-ray in practice, it will be treated as X-ray.


==== Duping ==== 
=== Duping ===
Allowed:


''A glitch/mod/or any feature in the server that allows ANY item besides Rails, Carpet, Gravity, and Active TNT duping will ALWAYS result in a permanent ban.'' 
* Rail duping
* Carpet duping
* Gravity block duping
* Active TNT duping


TNT, Rail, Sand, AND Gravity duping is the ONLY allowed form of duplication on the server.
'''Everything else:'''


'''Any duplication beyond the list above = Permanent ban.'''


'''"Revives"'''
=== “Revives” ===
A player '''may only be revived''' if the death was caused by one of the following situations:


''<u>No player shall be revived unless killed by a player that was hacking and or death by server lag (Personal/internet lag will not count as a revive if you die)</u>''
* A hacker or cheater directly causing the death
* Severe server‑side lag that is '''100% confirmed''' to be server-related (NOT network or client-side lag)
* An unintended action by an admin or plugin
** Ex: Events Plugin randomly killing a player who has left an event
* A server-wide event or failure that affects all players (e.g., mass disconnections, global crashes, etc.)


=== Circumventing Plugins ===
Any attempt to bypass plugin protections — especially those designed to protect players or enhance the gameplay experience for everyone — will result in a ban. These protections exist to maintain fairness and prevent players from manipulating game mechanics in ways that undermine the intended experience or compromise player safety.


=== Trapping the Main End Island ===
Any action that alters the Main End Island in a way that restricts natural spawn points, limits player movement upon arrival, or creates unavoidable danger for players teleporting in is '''strictly forbidden'''.


=== 2. No Alternate Accounts ===
This includes, but is not limited to:


Any use or attempts of using an Alternate account on the server (includes bedrock accounts), for any purpose is strictly prohibited and will result in that IP, and all linked accounts to be banned.
* Modifying terrain in a way that funnels players into forced locations
* Creating setups that exploit predictable spawn points
* Altering the environment to make teleport-in locations unsafe or inescapable


We understand that for many circumstances however, two or more separate people may share the same IP address. And as long as we can prove each person is different, we are perfectly fine with making exceptions.
Any attempt to manipulate arrival mechanics or compromise player safety on the Main End Island will result in a '''ban'''.


A surefire way to get banned on this server, is to join the server for the first time with an IP that is linked to an already dead player. We must always assume you are an alt, even if that is not the case.  
=== Illegal Items ===
Items duplicated or stolen from '''/event''' world and brought into the main world will be deleted, and the player will receive a '''permanent ban'''.


The best thing you can do if you want to play with someone who lives with you, is to let an admin know before joining, or before any of you have died. We usually check this ourselves when we get alerted 2 players could be alts. If we see both players are actively playing on the server at the same time, we can add you to an exemption list, and you will be perfectly fine playing the server as normal.
'''Exceptions:''' Certain items may be approved by admins if they are considered ''low‑risk'', ''cosmetic'', or ''within normal gameplay parameters''. These items may be granted as prizes, rewards, or gifts. Only items explicitly approved and documented by staff fall under this exception. All other illegal items remain subject to removal and punishment.


If you share a PC with someone else, it will be extremely difficult to prove 2 players are not alts of each other. Unless you are proactive and make a ticket before joining, you are very likely to get banned and stay banned.
'''Amnesty:''' Players who voluntarily turn in illegal items—before being investigated or questioned—will '''not''' be punished. Staff will remove the item(s), and no further action will be taken.


If you are at someone's house/apartment or on a public wifi, Avoid joining the server entirely. This can indirectly link your account with someone else's, and it will be very difficult to prove that you are not an alt if you can not get back to that wifi again. This has gotten multiple players banned, and even though their story is believable, there is nothing that can be done.
= Alternate Accounts Policy =
'''No alternate accounts are allowed''', including Bedrock accounts used as alts.


Using VPNS are also not allowed on the server as it could hide your IP potentially, if vpns are needed to connect please make a ticket in our discord so we can allow you to connect with one first. Any usage of VPNS will require you to log into the server once without a VPN so we can confirm identities.
Violating this rule results in:


* A ban on the IP
* A ban on all linked accounts


=== Shared IPs ===
We understand some households have multiple players. This is allowed if '''proven''' to be separate people.


'''If you share an IP, you MUST:'''


* Open a ticket before either account dies
* Let staff verify you


=== 3. No Overuse of Server Resources ===
If two players are actively online at the same time, staff can add them to the exemption list.


Lagging the server, rather intentional or not, is not allowed on the server. This includes the creation of machines with the sole purpose of lagging the server, farms that are absurdly un-optimized, and any other method that could be used to harm the servers hardware.
=== High-Risk Situations ===
Avoid joining from:


We will give *many* warnings if you are someone who has a laggy farm. If you refuse to fix it, you will be banned.
* Someone else’s home
* Public Wi-Fi
* A shared PC


Punishments will vary based on severity and type of offence.
If staff cannot verify you again using the same network, it becomes extremely hard to prove you’re not an alt.


== Impersonation ==
=== VPNs ===
'''''NEVER''' impersonate a player or even an admin on or off the server doing so will result in a permanent ban from the discord and the reset and main minecraft server''


Players that are caught doing so will be swiftly dealt with and banned forever so please use your brain :) !
* VPN usage is '''allowed''', but all players must first log in at least once using their '''real, public IP''' so staff can verify their identity.
* After verification, players may use a VPN normally.
* If you '''must''' use a VPN to connect, you should:
** Open a ticket before joining
** Log in once without a VPN to complete identity verification


== Chat Rules ==
'''Using a VPN before verification will be treated as potential alt evasion and may result in a ban. Switching between multiple VPN locations before verification will result in a permanent ban. Switching VPN locations after verification is allowed as long as your identity has already been confirmed.**'''


=== 1. No Slurs or Hate Speech ===
= Server Performance Rules =
Use of derogatory language aimed at race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, or disability is not tolerated on the server and will result in a ban or mute depending on severity.


=== 2. No Threats of Doxxing ===
=== Overuse of Server Resources ===
Sharing or threatening to share personal or identifiable information about a player will result in an immediate permanent ban.
You may not create:


=== 3. No Extreme Targeting or Harassment of Other Players ===
* Lag machines
Prolonged and targeted harassment of players (including but not limited to spamming, excessive pinging on Discord, extreme insults or bullying) will attempt to be resolved diplomatically by staff. Continued harassment may lead to a mute, temporary ban or permanent ban depending on severity.
* Unoptimized mega-farms
* Redstone contraptions designed to strain TPS or memory


=== 3. No Advertising ===
'''We give many warnings for laggy builds.'''
 
If you refuse to fix them, you will be banned.
 
Punishments vary based on severity.
 
=== Impersonation ===
Never impersonate:
 
* Another player
* Staff
* Admins
 
This applies '''on the server and in Discord'''.
 
Result:
 
* Permanent ban from both the main server and the respawn server
* Permanent ban from Discord

=== No Slurs or Hate Speech ===
Derogatory language based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, or disability is not tolerated.
 
Punishment may include:
 
* Mute
* Temporary ban
* Permanent ban (depending on severity)
 
=== No Doxxing or Threats of Doxxing ===
Sharing or threatening to share any personal information about a player results in an '''immediate permanent ban'''.
 
=== No Harassment ===
This includes:
 
* Targeted bullying
* Repeated insults
* Excessive pinging
* Disruptive behavior across chat or Discord
 
Staff will attempt to resolve issues diplomatically; however, '''harassment is defined by unwanted, targeted behavior—especially when a player is attempting to disengage and the other party continues to pursue, provoke, or escalate the situation'''.
 
Arguments or disagreements by themselves are not considered harassment. Harassment occurs when someone continues the interaction after being asked to stop, follows a player between channels or conversations, or repeatedly directs hostility toward someone who is no longer engaging.
 
If a discussion escalates into personal attacks, targeted hostility, or behavior that disrupts the community, it will be treated as harassment regardless of who initiated the original argument.
 
Continued harassment can result in mutes, temporary bans, or permanent bans.

Latest revision as of 00:15, 11 December 2025

Staff decisions are made case-by-case.

Attempting to exploit “loopholes” will be treated the same as breaking the rule directly.

If unsure about a mod, a connection method, or a project: Ask staff before doing it.

Gameplay Rules

Hacked Clients, X-Ray, and Unfair Advantages

Not allowed under any circumstances:

  • Any hacked client (Meteor, Wurst, etc.)
  • Any mod that provides unfair advantages (entity/cave radar, HP bars, etc.)
  • X-ray, fly hacks, illegal visual mods, “pie chart/ray”, F3 entity counter
  • Fullbright + no-fog to see debris under lava
  • Any method that reveals ores, structures, entities, or bases that cannot normally be seen
  • Any PvP optimizer mods (e.g., Crystal Optimizers or Anchor Optimizers)
  • “Easy Place” or any external placing mods
    • Easy Place is known to set off the anticheat
  • Using the seed to locate structures, biomes, or resources
  • Showing illegal mods or hacked clients in public videos
  • Using Replay Mod to locate bases, hidden structures, players, or logout spots
  • Using minimaps that reveal entities, caves, or structures
    • Only Xaero’s Fairplay Minimap is allowed, or JourneyMap with Entities and Caves turned off.
  • Certain utility mods are permitted, provided they do not offer any competitive advantage or alter core gameplay balance.

Punishments

  • Unfair advantages that affect only yourself:
    • 1-year ban (appeal optional)
    • or Permanent ban (appeal optional)
    • Final decision is case-by-case.
  • Unfair advantages used to target/kill another player:
    • Permanent ban — NO APPEAL
    • Players who are killed as a result of another player’s unfair advantage will be eligible for revival. Refer to the "Revives" section for full details.

Definition of X-Ray

X-ray includes any method of locating hidden blocks or entities outside normal gameplay. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • X-ray resource packs
  • The F3 entity counter when used to locate hidden mobs, ores, or structures
  • Fullbright, no-fog, FOV/POV manipulation, or any visual trick used to see under or through lava or other obstructive blocks
  • Any visual modification designed to reveal underground features

However, visual tweaks that only make ores slightly brighter—while still requiring normal gameplay to locate them—are allowed, as they do not expose hidden blocks or provide information unavailable through standard play.

If a method provides hidden information or resembles X-ray in practice, it will be treated as X-ray.

Duping

Allowed:

  • Rail duping
  • Carpet duping
  • Gravity block duping
  • Active TNT duping

Everything else:

Any duplication beyond the list above = Permanent ban.

“Revives”

A player may only be revived if the death was caused by one of the following situations:

  • A hacker or cheater directly causing the death
  • Severe server‑side lag that is 100% confirmed to be server-related (NOT network or client-side lag)
  • An unintended action by an admin or plugin
    • Ex: Events Plugin randomly killing a player who has left an event
  • A server-wide event or failure that affects all players (e.g., mass disconnections, global crashes, etc.)

Circumventing Plugins

Any attempt to bypass plugin protections — especially those designed to protect players or enhance the gameplay experience for everyone — will result in a ban. These protections exist to maintain fairness and prevent players from manipulating game mechanics in ways that undermine the intended experience or compromise player safety.

Trapping the Main End Island

Any action that alters the Main End Island in a way that restricts natural spawn points, limits player movement upon arrival, or creates unavoidable danger for players teleporting in is strictly forbidden.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Modifying terrain in a way that funnels players into forced locations
  • Creating setups that exploit predictable spawn points
  • Altering the environment to make teleport-in locations unsafe or inescapable

Any attempt to manipulate arrival mechanics or compromise player safety on the Main End Island will result in a ban.

Illegal Items

Items duplicated or stolen from /event world and brought into the main world will be deleted, and the player will receive a permanent ban.

Exceptions: Certain items may be approved by admins if they are considered low‑risk, cosmetic, or within normal gameplay parameters. These items may be granted as prizes, rewards, or gifts. Only items explicitly approved and documented by staff fall under this exception. All other illegal items remain subject to removal and punishment.

Amnesty: Players who voluntarily turn in illegal items—before being investigated or questioned—will not be punished. Staff will remove the item(s), and no further action will be taken.

Alternate Accounts Policy

No alternate accounts are allowed, including Bedrock accounts used as alts.

Violating this rule results in:

  • A ban on the IP
  • A ban on all linked accounts

Shared IPs

We understand some households have multiple players. This is allowed if proven to be separate people.

If you share an IP, you MUST:

  • Open a ticket before either account dies
  • Let staff verify you

If two players are actively online at the same time, staff can add them to the exemption list.

High-Risk Situations

Avoid joining from:

  • Someone else’s home
  • Public Wi-Fi
  • A shared PC

If staff cannot verify you again using the same network, it becomes extremely hard to prove you’re not an alt.

VPNs

  • VPN usage is allowed, but all players must first log in at least once using their real, public IP so staff can verify their identity.
  • After verification, players may use a VPN normally.
  • If you must use a VPN to connect, you should:
    • Open a ticket before joining
    • Log in once without a VPN to complete identity verification

Using a VPN before verification will be treated as potential alt evasion and may result in a ban. Switching between multiple VPN locations before verification will result in a permanent ban. Switching VPN locations after verification is allowed as long as your identity has already been confirmed.**

Server Performance Rules

Overuse of Server Resources

You may not create:

  • Lag machines
  • Unoptimized mega-farms
  • Redstone contraptions designed to strain TPS or memory

We give many warnings for laggy builds.

If you refuse to fix them, you will be banned.

Punishments vary based on severity.

Impersonation

Never impersonate:

  • Another player
  • Staff
  • Admins

This applies on the server and in Discord.

Result:

  • Permanent ban from both the main server and the respawn server
  • Permanent ban from Discord

Chat Rules

No Slurs or Hate Speech

Derogatory language based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, or disability is not tolerated.

Punishment may include:

  • Mute
  • Temporary ban
  • Permanent ban (depending on severity)

No Doxxing or Threats of Doxxing

Sharing or threatening to share any personal information about a player results in an immediate permanent ban.

No Harassment

This includes:

  • Targeted bullying
  • Repeated insults
  • Excessive pinging
  • Disruptive behavior across chat or Discord

Staff will attempt to resolve issues diplomatically; however, harassment is defined by unwanted, targeted behavior—especially when a player is attempting to disengage and the other party continues to pursue, provoke, or escalate the situation.

Arguments or disagreements by themselves are not considered harassment. Harassment occurs when someone continues the interaction after being asked to stop, follows a player between channels or conversations, or repeatedly directs hostility toward someone who is no longer engaging.

If a discussion escalates into personal attacks, targeted hostility, or behavior that disrupts the community, it will be treated as harassment regardless of who initiated the original argument.

Continued harassment can result in mutes, temporary bans, or permanent bans.

No Advertising

Promoting other servers, Discords, communities, or personal projects without prior staff approval is prohibited.
