Rules

Rule / Category Guideline
Be Respectful Treat all players with respect. Bullying, harassment, and toxic behavior are not tolerated. This includes staff members — we will not tolerate any form of abuse towards our staff. Please do not mention politics, religion, non PG13 topics, or any topics referencing world tragedies. Referring to any entities as "slaves" (even as a joke) is also prohibited and will result in moderation action.
No Griefing Do not destroy or alter other players' builds, structures, or property without permission. Griefing is strictly prohibited.
No Cheating or Hacking Using mods, hacks, or any third-party software that gives you an unfair advantage (e.g., x-ray, autoclicker, flying, fullbright, etc) is forbidden. This includes alternative methods that would be considered as “loopholes” in order to achieve the same effects, for example (but not limited to), placing an object on your keys/mouse in order to automate something.

Note: After consideration, we have agreed to allow players to use mods such as Freecam and Replay only for the purposes of taking pictures/videos and roleplaying. We are trusting players to use these mods genuinely - if we find cases of abuse, they will no longer be allowed.

Litematica forge is allowed, however you are not allowed to use the auto place feature. You are not alllowed to claim schematics as your own if they were not created by you. 
No Stealing Do not take items or resources from other players without their consent, whether in chests or in the open worlds. If a chest or storage container is unlabelled, assume you cannot take from it. Taking from random containers is strictly not allowed unless specified otherwise.
Respect Protected Areas Do not build near areas that are inhabited by another player or claimed. Refer to building and claims section for more information!
No Spamming or Advertising Avoid spamming the chat with repeated messages, commands, or advertisements. Please leave at least 3 hours between each advertisement (sales, facilities, ISO, etc) - if you've advertised your cows, you must wait 3 hours to advertise your facility - do not randomly message players with unsolicited sales. This also includes asking (or offering) for jobs/services to keep chat clear. 

Advertising other servers is not allowed. Likewise, using our server as a platform to advertise is also prohibited (this includes direct messaging players and “poaching” them from our server). Do not use our server name/players to advertise your server (eg. "Canterlands player's also play here!").
No Exploiting Glitches If you discover a bug or glitch in the game, report it to staff immediately. Exploiting glitches is strictly not allowed - if it feels wrong, it likely is.
No Offensive Builds or Content Avoid creating inappropriate or offensive structures, signs, or content that may offend others.
Follow Build Limits and Claims The server has land claiming or building limits - follow these guidelines to avoid disputes over space.
English Only in Global Chat Keep the global chat in English to ensure clear communication. Other languages can be used in private messages.
Swearing Swearing is allowed but keep it to a minimum. No slurs of any kind will be tolerated.
Vanilla Horses Vanilla horse spawns bug occasionally and still spawn in villages or previously loaded chunks. They are not to be kept and should be killed if you come across one. If you keep one it will be confiscated. 
 Boss Mobs The Ender Dragon may be summoned as many times as the player would like; this must be done in survival via the Outlands End. The Wither may be summoned in the Outlands (resource world) to avoid damage to players/structures. If you spawn the Wither and cause damage to another player's property or animals, you will be responsible for said damages. You cannot keep boss mobs on your property or in mob balls. They may only be mob balled if you are transporting to a safer location to kill it.
Mob Farms / Farming Small mob farms are permitted at the discretion of our moderation team and cannot be automatic. Mob farms are prohibited and will not work on all home servers, please use the Outlands, spawners cannot be multi-layered, automatic, or have more than one spawner in a system. 

Animal “farms”/housing and general crop farming must be realistic - animals must follow our welfare guides, animal “farms”/housing cannot be multi-layered/stacked. For example, you cannot keep one pen of cows below a pen of chickens, this is also applicable to horses. This is due to potential lag.

Crop farms cannot be multi-layered or automatic. 

Iron farms, and other farms that may provide a significant advantage, are prohibited regardless of automation - please ask if unsure. 

Any form of minecart systems (for example, but not limited to: farm/supersmelter systems) are prohibited due to lag concerns. 
No Alternate Accounts Each player is permitted a single account per person in order to play on the server. Alternate accounts are strictly prohibited and may result in removal of the account and further disciplinary action.
Usernames Usernames must be appropriate at all times. Staff reserve the right to request a username change at any point if it is deemed inappropriate, offensive, or disruptive.
No Trespassing Do not enter a players claim under any circumstance unless it is a public warp (eg. facility) or the owner of the property has given you permission. This is including expired claims. The owner of the property allowing you to teleport does not give you indefinite access to their areas. Please be respectful and mindful of everyone's space.
No Item Restoration We do not provide item replacements for client side crashes or accidental loss. There is no reliable way for us to determine exactly what items were in a player’s inventory at the moment of a crash. Attempting to restore items without verification could create duplication or imbalance issues, which would affect all players. Reverting back inventory data also takes time and could cause corruption.
No Loopholes, Exploits, or Rule Evasion

Rules are enforced by their intent, not just their wording. Any attempt to bypass, undermine, or technically avoid a rule - through loopholes, alternate accounts, unintended mechanics, or other methods may be treated as a violation.

If an action provides an unfair advantage, harms other players, or defeats the purpose of a rule, staff may intervene even if the exact method is not specifically listed. If it feels wrong, it likely is.

Staff decisions on rule intent are final. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, ask a staff member before doing it.
World Border We are not responsible for any assets lost due to the World Border, please note you may take damage near it.
Nether Roof Glitching onto the nether roof, or being present on the nether roof is strictly prohibited. If this is accidental, please teleport away so you are no longer up there. 
O-Animals Any O-Animals (DragNs Livestock/Pets where applicable) that are not: Grubs, Caribou, Fish, Ocelots, Cats, Dogs, Foxes, Wolves, Birds, Bees, Goats or Camels are NOT to be kept under any circumstances - they are spawned that existed prior to the world generation that rendered and weren't caught. Please kill them and discard the drops if you come across any other O-Animals (Chickens, Cows, Donkeys, Horses, Pigs, Sheep, etc). They are NOT to be kept or bred.
