Rules
Many of these rules are entirely dependent on context - server staff will decide what is ok and what is not. Warnings will be issued before bans. If any rule is unclear, please ask a mod or admin.
Contents
No cheating
Client modifications are not allowed. (x-ray, flymod, etc.) OptiFine and Rei's mini-map are ok.
No indecent language
No vulgar, inappropriate, racist, harsh, or otherwise indecent language is allowed. The exception to this rule is swearing, which is allowed within reason.
No griefing, raiding, or stealing
You may not steal from players in any way. The exception is somebody you personally killed in PvP. Scroll down for more specific PvP rules!
No use of exploits to gain an advantage
Any kind of bug or exploit that places you at an unfair advantage over other players is strictly against the rules.
Respect all players
You must respect everyone. Causing any kind of harm or abuse to another person is not allowed. This includes bullying, harassment, and much more.
Building
You may not build on land clearly claimed by another player. Even if no marked sign is present, you may not build too close to another player without their permission.
Mining below spawn
Please be aware that mining directly below spawn is not allowed.
PvP
Players must specify if they are fighting with "give-backs", otherwise items may be looted. In order to keep items from somebody in PvP, you must have dealt the majority of damage to them. Looting items from somebody you did not kill is considered stealing.
Chat
Controversial topics are against the rules. Notable examples are religion and abortion. Any topic that promotes drama or hateful speech is not allowed. The chat should never be filled with memes, caps lock, or the same message over and over. Players who do not follow these rules will receive temporary or even permanent mutes.
Protected Areas
Several locations on the server are protected. This means no building or resource extraction of any kind within these areas. Such areas include the Bryce Mesa and the Hoth Ice Fields. Certain buildings are protected for their historical and/or aesthetic value. These buildings are marked by signs showing the Arcane Defense of History Division (A.D.H.D).
