Rules

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.
