Rules

By joining the Minecraft server or the discord server, you agree to abide by these rules. Please, read these rules carefully.
Also check the allowed and prohibited mods list!

SMP Rules

When describing an area, the dimensions specified are the entire width and height, not the radius.
As shown here, a 2048 by 2048 square is -1024/+1024 in any direction:

Griefing

Outer spawn: A 2048 by 2048 square centered on 0, 0 in the Overworld
Inner spawn: A 512 by 512 square centered on 0, 0 in the Overworld
End island: A 512 by 512 square centered on 0, 0 in the End
Grief: The damage of land or structures that are not designed to kill players (stealing items or killing mobs are fine)
Griefing is allowed in any shape or form, with three exceptions:

• You cannot grief buildings in outer spawn
• You cannot grief at all in inner spawn or the end island
• You cannot break the end portal blocks themselves
  

Please note that TNT minecarts are considered griefing, if you do not fill the hole back up.

Combat

An ongoing fight: Where a player has successfully hit (with a weapon) another player in the past 30 seconds. This excludes when both players agree that it was just friendly combat. The fight is considered ended if everyone except for one person has died (and no-one has hit each other again after respawning).
Repeated killing: One player kills another player 2 or more times in a period of 30 seconds. If the action of killing them was in self defense, to keep/get items or both players agree that it was just friendly combat, it is not spawn killing.
Inner spawn: A 512 by 512 square centered on 0, 0 in the Overworld
You can not log out during combat. This is considered "combat logging". You also can not repeated kill at inner spawn.

Chunkbans

Outer spawn: 2048 by 2048 square centered on 0, 0 in the Overworld
Chunkbans are not allowed in outer spawn.

Dupes

Duping is not allowed, excluding TNT, rails, carpet, tripwire, string, comparator and gravel & sand dupes.
Please note: String dupes were patched in 1.21.2 and tripwire dupes were patched in 26.2 by Mojang, not by us.

Cheats

Cheating: Using client side mods to get an unfair advantage (check our allowed and prohibited mods list)
No cheating is permitted under any circumstances.

Ban evading

Planning, trying or managing to evade a ban by using an alt, VPN, or other method is not allowed.

Chat

The chat rules (below) apply to the chat, signs, named items, or any form of communication in the Minecraft server.

Chat Rules

You MUST abide by Discord's Terms of Service and Minecraft's EULA

Links are here:

• Discord ToS: https://discord.com/terms
• Minecraft's EULA: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/eula

No racism, bigotry or hate speech

This includes r*tard, n*gger, f*ggot and any abbreviations (regardless of your ethnicity or sexuality). Any offence will be taken seriously.

No targeted harassment or bullying

Targeting a player with repeated negative behaviour (insults or hostility) is not allowed. Taking the mick or joking doesn't automatically make it okay, as harassment isn't defined by whether you intended to offend someone.
If a player asks you to stop, you must stop immediately.

No Severe NSFW

Sexually explicit or highly inappropriate content is not allowed. This includes explicit sexual comments, rape jokes or references, and other 18+ sexual content. Calling another player terms such as "daddy" or making sexual remarks towards them is also not allowed. Swearing, cursing and general profanity are allowed.

Do not promote, encourage, or glorify self-harm or suicide

"kys" falls under this.

No doxxing

No leaking private or sensitive information about someone in real life (leaking coordinates of their Minecraft base is fine).

No spamming

Spamming is six or more nearly identical messages directly after each other. Messaging people privately is exempt.

No advertising

This includes promotion of third parties, other guilds, other servers or self promo. You are exempt if I (RPiCPU/Blue Lightning) have permitted you to promote it or it is directly linked to True Vanilla (e.g. a faction discord that is on the server). Do not send any discord links in the server before asking RPiCPU/Blue Lightning, as you will be automatically muted for 7 days.

No poll manipulation

This means that when a staff member makes a poll, you can't offer rewards or incentives to vote for an option. Convincing people with reasoning is allowed however.

Don't ping staff unnecessarily

This includes:

• 6 or less hours after opening a ticket
• 2 or more times in a row

No asking for help in Direct Messages (discord & Minecraft!)

If you can deal with it in a ticket, do so.

No impersonating people

Self-explanatory.
