Rules

Playing here means keeping to these. Typing /rules in game gives the short version. Banned or muted and think it was wrong? Appeal here.

Fair play

No hacked clients, cheat mods or macros: kill aura, fly, speed, reach, auto-clickers, X-ray and anything else that does the playing for you or shows what you could not otherwise see.
Mods that only change how the game looks or runs are fine: performance mods, shaders, zoom, and minimaps that do not show players, mobs or ores through walls.
Not sure about a mod? Ask staff before you use it, not after.
Found a bug or an exploit, such as duplicating items or getting through walls? Report it with /ticket create. Using it or telling others how is treated as cheating.
If staff freeze you to check your game, stay and answer them. Leaving to get out of a check is treated as cheating.

Be respectful to everyone, staff included. No harassment, bullying or threats.
No hate of any kind: slurs, jokes about someone's race, religion, gender, sexuality or disability, and disguised spellings of any of it.
No spam: the same message again and again, walls of text, lots of capitals or symbols, or flooding commands.
No sexual, violent or otherwise adult content.
No advertising other servers, websites or Discords.
Never share anyone's personal details, such as a real name, address, school, photos or social media, and be careful with your own.
Do not pretend to be staff or another player.
These rules apply everywhere on the network: public chat, private messages, mail, voice chat, signs and books.

Names, nicknames, skins, capes, item names, signs and builds must be fine for everyone to see: nothing offensive, sexual or hateful.
Do not use a nickname to look like a member of staff or another player.
Staff may change a nickname or take down a build that breaks these rules, without asking first.

Do not grief, steal from or trap players on an island you were invited to, and do not take what is not yours.
No scams: no misleading trades, fake shops or promises you do not mean to keep, for items or money.
Nothing built to lag the server: large redstone clocks, piles of mobs or items, or farms far bigger than they need to be. Staff may remove them.
Do not use more than one account to get extra kits, rewards or votes.

Play to win with your own team. No teaming with other teams or players in solo games, and no losing on purpose to boost someone's stats.
Do not leave or stand still on purpose to throw a game for your team.
In an event, do what the host says. Staff running an event decide how its rules apply.

You are responsible for your account and everything done on it. Do not share it.
A ban or mute is for you, not your account. Using another account to get around one gets that account punished too.
No buying or selling items, money, ranks or accounts for real money, outside the network's own store.

Report a rule breaker with /report, ask staff for help with /helpop, and open a ticket with /ticket create when nobody is on.
Do not make false reports or misuse /report and /helpop.
A staff decision stands while you are playing. Arguing in chat will not change it: if you think it was wrong, appeal with the appeal form.
These rules cannot list everything. Staff may act on anything that harms players or the network, even if it is not written here.
