Fair Gameplay
We value fair gameplay to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Cheating
Cheating includes using unauthorized mods, hacks, or software that provide unfair advantages, such as:
- X-ray mods
- Fly hacks
- Auto-clickers
- Radars
Exploiting
Exploiting refers to abusing in-game mechanics, glitches, or unintended features to gain an advantage. Examples include:
- Duplicating items
- Bypassing protections
- Using unapproved macros
Reporting Bugs
If you're unsure whether something is allowed, assume it isn’t or ask staff for clarification. Found a bug? Report it immediately to help maintain a fair and balanced environment.
Penalties
Taking advantage of bugs or exploits will result in strict penalties.
Upkeep
Protect your belongings to avoid losing them! Use land-claiming tools like campsites or towns to safeguard your builds. Town mayors and residents are responsible for maintaining their town’s bank balance to cover daily upkeep costs. The more chunks a town claims, the higher the daily upkeep cost will be. Experienced mayors and rulers know how to charge their residents a fair tax value that helps fund thriving cities and nations.
New mayors should deposit funds into the town bank immediately to ensure the town’s continued protection and avoid disbandment. Failure to maintain the bank balance will result in the town falling into ruin and the loss of all claimed land, exposing you and your residents to other looting players.
To secure containers and doors, use the /lock command. Locks remain effective for up to four months after a player becomes inactive. Remember, it’s your responsibility to use these features to protect your items.
If you need help claiming land or forming towns to protect your possessions, refer to the Towny command help located in Server Guide, consult the wiki, or ask around in chat or Discord for assistance.
Looting
Looting is only allowed in abandoned towns—do not take items from active players or towns. Before looting, always check the Earth and Towny maps to confirm that no claimed chunks are nearby. Be cautious of PvP in certain worlds or areas, and consider denying teleport requests from unknown players to avoid unwanted confrontations.
Stealing
Stealing is strictly prohibited. Respect all Towny claims and protections—never scam or rob other players. Always lock your containers using the /lock command to prevent unauthorized access. For tips on securing your belongings, refer to the Upkeep section of the rules.
Griefing
Griefing is also prohibited. This includes breaking blocks or robbing active players or towns, even if the land isn’t claimed. Respect others' builds and possessions—damage or theft of any kind is not allowed, regardless of the land protection status of active players.
Spawner Limits
- Max 4 spawners per chunk: No more than 4 spawners are allowed in a single chunk.
- Redstone control: Spawners must be toggled using redstone signals (e.g., levers) to operate.
- Efficiency: Larger mob farms should be split apart to improve server performance and ensure optimal loot and experience rates.
Entity Limits
- Max 50 entities per base: No more than 50 animals or mobs may be alive at once in a player's base.
- Excess entities: Exceeding this limit will result in the automatic removal of excess entities.
Redstone
- Avoid unnecessary complexity: Do not create overly complex redstone contraptions.
- Lag machines: Redstone lag machines and repeater loops will be automatically broken or removed to prevent server issues.
Dropped Items
- Collection systems required: Items that drop to the ground must have a direct collection system in place.
- Avoid vanilla collection methods: Vanilla systems (e.g., pushers, water/ice) may result in item loss and server lag. Consider using advanced systems like:
- Slimefun Cargo Systems
- Networks
- Infused Hoppers
- Chunk Collectors
- Item despawn: Certain items on the ground will vanish within 30 seconds.
