Common

  • Absolutely no impersonation of staff members.
  • No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection), WorldGuard(Block protection), and GriefAlert. Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal.
  • Invisible or glitched players may have their data reset without warning.
  • No sharing of illegal content.
  • No blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech targeted at specific users.
  • No griefing, including but not limited to: destroying blocks placed by other players, flooding structures, spamming items, leaving inappropriate signs on others’ structures, destroying plants (none of these apply to chaos)
  • No "grief-baiting". This means that players cannot try to get other players in trouble by tricking/forcing them to destroying structures in an attempt to get the player warned or banned. This will fall under our umbrella "Don't be a dick." rule and will (if abused enough) result in a ban.
  • No placing banned items (banned items are specific to each server)
  • Players blatantly using modifications to change gameplay may be asked to stop, kicked, or banned with little warning. This includes, but is not limited to: flying, noclip, invincibility, speed, and duping hacks.
  • Don't be a dick (the staff reserves the right to mess with dicks...in a completely asexual and extremely self-depriving yet generous way)
  • No trolling in chat (Don’t spam the chat with useless twaddle)
  • You are responsible for your own account. If your account is used by someone else for griefing the server in any way, it will be banned. Please do not message the moderators with the excuse that someone else used your account. We have no way to verify this, and as such, it will not be tolerated as an excuse.
  • If you are banned under one account you cannot play on other accounts on the server while the ban is still in effect. Caught playing on alt accounts while your main account is banned will result in your alt accounts being permanently banned.
  • Any rules placed at spawn on the servers supersede the rules here as they will generally be more up-to-date.
  • Please respect the moderators and the admins. Blatant harassment of the staff can result in a kick or a ban.
  • Please don’t complain about lag or server restarts. It’s a fact of life, our technical admins are constantly working to smooth the experience, and it gets annoying. They do their best to prevent rollbacks. Since they are working for zero profit and yet give us such a nice set of servers and/or playing experience please treat the techies like the majestic beasts they are.
  • Do not spam /req (mod requests) with silly requests or things which cannot/do not need to be resolved by staff.
  • Please put coordinates in mod requests; if you fail to do so and you are not online when a mod tries to fill your request, it may be cleared.
  • No offensive or inappropriate skins. Failure to change when asked by a mod will result in a ban until it is changed.

PvE

  • Banned Items: Fire (flint and steel), TNT, flowing lava, boats, water buckets, lava buckets, (if you need water or lava placed please make a /req)
  • Buckets are for milk only
  • No killing other players outside designated PvP areas
  • No killing other players with lava or any other means in PvE areas. This includes, but is not limited to: Dropping lava on or around them, dropping blocks on them, or pushing them and forcing them to fall. Additionally, no traps designed to kill other players.
  • The current PvE map is very beautiful but also very height-disadvantaged for players. As such we will warn/kick players who continuously build what are known as 'tard-towers' (towers that are only a single block wide) that tarnish the landscape. If you wish to reach floating islands or higher elevations please at least add ladders to these sorts of towers or create stairs. Be respectful of the map and do not mar the experience or view for other players.
  • Do not lead creepers to other users' creations with the intention of destroying their stuff. If this happens accidentally its your responsibility to fix it.
  • Don't Build any structure within 40-50 blocks from any StarGates.
  • Large unique trees such as redwoods and acacias do not regrow, and may be part of an individual or community's landscaping. Destruction of said landscaping constitutes griefing, so if there is any doubt whatsoever as to the state of these trees, do not cut them down.

Survival

  • Banned Items: Fire (flint and steel), TNT, boats, flowing lava, and water buckets (if you need water or lava placed please make a /req).
  • No killing other players outside designated PvP areas
  • No killing other players with lava or any other means in PvE areas. This includes, but is not limited to: Dropping lava on or around them, dropping blocks on them, or pushing them and forcing them to fall.
  • No forced takeovers of others’ bases.
  • No removing blocks from others' structures to enter them unless for PvP purposes. If the structure has no entrance and is in a PvP zone then another player is allowed to break into the base to kill players but only if another player is inside at the time.
  • No spawn camping. This includes staying in the pve zone waiting for players to enter pvp only to kill them again and again as they attempt to leave spawn.

Chaos

  • Banned Items: None
  • No rules, except the common server rules (minus griefing). No hacking or client mods, specifically.
  • Admins reserve the right to clean up anything making the game unplayable, including making spawn inescapable by any means.
  • The map should be considered volatile and may potentially be reset at any time

Mumble

  • No “spamming” in the mumble with loud or generally annoying noises

  • No blatant sexism, racism, or hate speech targeted at specific users.

Banning policy

  • If you are reporting a ban to the mods, you must supply some form of proof for your claims (i.e. screenshots, video, or visual confirmation by a mod/admin)
  • An attempt at establishing communication will be made.
  • If this fails, the player will first be kicked, and if they rejoin and continue their actions they will be banned.
  • You may appeal bans by following the appeals process at nerd.nu/forum.
  • Please do not make a subreddit post or it may be removed & ignored.
  • Lifting bans is done entirely at the discretion of the mods / admins, and conditions may be imposed if a ban is lifted.
