Basic Rules
- You are responsible for your own account.
You will be punished for whatever rules your account breaks. Saying that someone else did something on your account will never be accepted as an excuse.
- Use common sense.
It would be impossible for us to list every possible wrongdoing in the rules. Use your sense of right and wrong to guide your actions on the server.
You can still be punished for things that are not explicitly stated in the rules.
Using an alternate account to evade a punishment is NOT allowed.
There are no refunds given after donating to the server.
You must read AND agree to the TOS before you purchase anything on the store.
- Paying someone for services on the server with real money (using services like paypal, cashapp, venmo, and so on) is NOT allowed.
Chat Rules
- Advertising is NOT allowed.
Do not mention servers that are not part of The Vanilla Experience Network in public chat or private messages
Swearing is allowed, but do not overdo it or use it to harass other players
There is a fine line to walk when swearing, so be careful with it. Staff members will determine whether or not your swearing has become excessive.
Bigotry/hate speech including but not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion is NOT allowed.
This especially includes racist or homophobic slurs.
Harassment and excessive trolling are NOT allowed.
Spamming and excessive use of capital letters are NOT allowed.
Sexual discussions in public chat are NOT allowed.
DDoS threats or threats of real-life violence are NOT allowed.
Impersonating or “pretending to be” someone that you are not is NOT allowed.
Posting other player’s personal information without their consent is NOT allowed.
Using languages besides English in public chat is NOT allowed.
Staff members can not moderate the chat if you’re not speaking English.
Gameplay Rules
- Griefing, raiding, and scamming are NOT allowed.
This means you cannot steal from or destroy other player’s work, EVEN if it is not claimed. You must also respect a player’s area. If they ask you to leave or to not build right next to them, listen to them. (6 chunk buffer limit)
Player traps fall under griefing and scamming; They are not allowed, you’ll be banned if we catch you building one on the server - even if it’s not in a public place.
- Cheating the AFK Kicker or using a AFK farm/grinder that requires no attention to the game and prevents you from being kicked (e.g. AFK fish farm) is NOT allowed
We have the AFK Kicker enabled for a reason, it isn’t there to be pretty.
- Exploiting glitches/mistakes is NOT allowed.
If you find something that can be exploited, report it to a staff member immediately. Using an exploit to benefit yourself will get you banned.
Offensive builds are NOT allowed.
Using AutoClickers, Macros, or “a weight on your keyboard” is NOT allowed.
Using an alternative account to gain an advantage over someone with only one account is not allowed. (e.g. using it for voting, afking farms, etc)
Selling others players art (artmaps) without permission is not allowed.
Lag inducing builds such as hopper grids, massive amounts of item frames, chests and huge redstone contraptions are not allowed. If there’s a problem with your creations a staff member may contact you to discuss the situation.
You can only have up to 25 item frames in a 16×16 chunk area.
Please put droppers on hoppers used for transport and don’t build unnecessary things.
Farm Specific Rules
Don’t lag the server! No excessive pistons, no zero-tick farms, no sweepers or flying machines.
50 total mobs/animals/villagers/portals/entities max per chunk.
15 hoppers/2 minecart hoppers per farm.
Use water streams to transport items more efficiently.
- All farms MUST have an on/off switch. No exceptions.
Can’t build a farm that can have an on/off switch? Not allowed on the server, then.
Leaving your farm unattended and running will result in it being deleted. Always turn it off when you’re not using it.
- 1×1 block holding chamber only for xp farms, no larger.
Unless required. (Spiders are 2×1×2, for example)
- Auto-fish farms are NOT allowed.
This feature in Minecraft is far too over-powered for semi-vanilla servers & especially when mcMMO loot is enabled from fishing.
No soul sand or magma blocks inside your Guardian farm.
Max size of 25×25 block spawn size for your Guardian farm.
Slime farms can be NO bigger than 2 chunks.
Modifications
For the most part, any modifications that do not give you an advantage in gameplay are fine. For example, mods like Optifine and Armor HUD are perfectly fine. Gamma/turning up your brightness is also acceptable. However, there are modifications to your game that are definitely not allowed.
