Server Rules

The short version: if the game's own mechanics let you do it, it's part of the game. Stealing, lockpicking, scamming a trade, betraying your gang, raiding, and bounty hunting are all fair play, and staff won't refund in-game losses from them. Cheating, exploiting bugs, dodging the game's systems, and harming real people are not. Not knowing a rule is no excuse, and staff may act on behavior that clearly breaks the spirit of these rules.

1. No harassment

1. No harassing a player: following them around, messaging them, or going after them over and over outside of gameplay after they've asked you to stop.
2. No threats of real-world harm, and no telling a player to hurt themselves.
3. No doxxing: never share anyone's real name, location, photos, socials or other personal information.
4. No impersonating staff (lookalike names, "I'm a mod", fake staff messages).
5. No advertising: no posting other servers, services, products or links, in chat, private messages, signs or books. Our own website and Discord are fine.

2. One account, played by you

1. One account per person. No alt accounts, for any reason.
2. No sharing, selling, buying or trading accounts.
3. No ban evasion: a new account, VPN or friend's account while you're banned means a permanent ban.

3. Play fair

1. No cheat clients or mods: x-ray (including x-ray resource packs), fly, speed, kill aura, reach, freecam, auto-totem, ESP/entity radar, cave finders, seed crackers used to find ores or bases. Allowed: performance mods (Sodium, Lithium...), shaders, resource packs, minimaps without cave or entity radar, voice chat mods.
2. No auto-clickers, macros or AFK mining. You have to be at the keyboard to mine, chop, fight or work a job. Weighted keys, rubber bands, and hold-to-mine or hold-to-attack scripts all count.
3. No exploiting bugs: duplication, getting through walls or into places you shouldn't be, money glitches, ways around the prison-mined mark, the pay limits, cooldowns or protections. Report them with /helpop (real bugs reported privately may be rewarded). Don't share them with other players.
4. No dodging the game's systems:
   • logging off (or crashing on purpose) to escape a fight, a search, handcuffs, a lockdown or a Pit duel (combat logging is also punished automatically)
   • relogging to reset cooldowns, work orders, spawns or anything else
5. No real-money trading: buying or selling items, in-game money, land, ranks or accounts for real money or for anything outside this server.

4. The economy: no "freedom by proxy" or rigged farming

The prison is meant to be earned. Don't work around that with friends:

1. No funneling money into the prison: free players (or guards, rebels) moving money or goods to prisoners through bounties, gang deposits or any other route to get around the pay limits and the prison-mined rule.
2. No bounty boosting: arranging for a friend to kill you (or to be killed) to collect a bounty.
3. No fixed Pit fights: arranging the result of a duel (to farm stats or titles). Spotted one? Report it with /helpop.
4. No stat farming: arranged kills or deaths to climb the Hall of Fame or leaderboards.
5. Guards: no working with prisoners to farm confiscations or promotions (fake busts, planted contraband by arrangement, passing gear back and forth).

5. In the prison (all of this is ALLOWED)

• Stealing from cells, lockpicking, burglary, smuggling, scamming trades, killing for a bounty, turning on your gang, running a shady stall: all part of the game. Staff will not refund in-game losses from these.
• Guards may search, cuff and fight prisoners by the game's rules; prisoners may fight back and take the consequences. If the plugin lets a guard do it, it's allowed.
• Scams that are NOT allowed: impersonating staff ("I'm a mod, hand it over"), promising a staff refund, anything involving real money or accounts, and asking for anyone's password or login.
• Use /goods check before buying "prison-mined" goods. If you didn't check, that's on you.

6. PvP and traps

1. No respawn camping: killing a player again and again as they respawn (the infirmary, spawn, a bed).
2. No inescapable traps: boxing a player in so they can't move, fight back or leave.
3. Free world: unclaimed land is wilderness: anything built there can be taken or broken. Raiding, overclaiming and looting abandoned homesteads are allowed by the game's rules.

7. Builds and the server

1. No lag machines: redstone clocks, huge entity farms, item-dropping machines or anything else built to (or that does) slow the server. Staff may remove laggy builds without warning.
2. No building to block spawn, roads or paths others need.

8. Staff and reports

1. Staff decisions stand in the moment. Appeal calmly afterwards (Discord / the owner), not by arguing in chat.
2. No false reports, and no spamming /helpop.
3. Report rule-breakers with /helpop: name, what happened, and when. Screenshots or video help.
4. Staff won't play favorites. Staff in admin mode (/staff) don't take part in the game's economy, and staff are held to these rules too.
