Community Charter
Server Rules & Guidelines
We maintain an honest, friendly survival environment where players can relax and build with confidence.
Rule 01
Mature Community & Respect
We are predominantly an 18+ community. We expect everyone to communicate respectfully like adults. Harassment, hate speech, racism, and toxic behavior result in immediate removal.
Rule 02
Zero Griefing & Zero Theft
Do not break, alter, or steal anything that does not belong to you, claimed or unclaimed. Respecting other players' hard work and builds is fundamental to our server.
Rule 03
Consent-Based PvP & Pranks
PvP and playful pranks are allowed only when both players have explicitly agreed beforehand. Unprompted killing, trapping, or destruction is strictly forbidden.
Rule 04
Fair Play & Client Restrictions
No hacked clients, X-ray packs, automation bots (Baritone), or duplication glitches. Performance mods (Sodium, Iris) and client schematics (Litematica) are allowed.
Rule 05
Building Ethics & Spacing
Respect neighboring builds. Leave ample space between settlements. Always replant public community farms and patch accidental creeper blast holes.
Rule 06
Staff Support & Disputes
If you encounter a problem or dispute, open a ticket on our Discord server or speak with a staff member. Do not retaliate or escalate in public chat.
Strict Enforcement: We take build preservation seriously. If someone damages your property, staff can roll back the changes within seconds and take administrative action against the offender.
