- Public chat is an English only chat, foreign languages will be considered spam as it cannot be understood by the general server population. Foreign Languages are allowed in Private Messages between players.
- Being abusive to other users is not allowed and will not be tolerated.
- Reporting of other players must be factual and honest. Accusations against staff members are serious and must carry evidence.
- No offensive symbols.
¶ 1.2: If there are no staff on and you need help, make a detailed /modreq.
- A /modreq is the easiest way to get help. If you need assistance or have a question, be specific in your modreq so we understand what you are helping with. Requests that simply say “help me” or such like may not be dealt with.
- Do not spam the /modreq command or tell Moderators you have made one. Staff members are notified that you have made a modreq and will respond to them in order of being received as well as priority. Remember, staff members are busy people.
- After making a /modreq please do not contact staff asking about it. Staff get automatic notices about modreqs and will get to them when they can. We may not have an answer to your problem immediately. Please have patience.
- If a staff member says no, that means they won’t be doing it. Don’t continue to bug them. Some problems may be known bugs and have to be fixed by a mod developer, or be something else that we cannot fix. In any case, if staff tell you “No”, please don’t argue.
¶ 1.3: No spamming chat or commands and no advertising of other servers and websites.
- Spamming is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to: Repeated characters or words in a sentence; Multiple sending of a same or similar chat message; saying random nonsense; breaking sentences or words up into unnecessarily small parts

Definition of Griefing: Griefing is the act of chronically causing consternation to other members of an online community, or more specifically, intentionally disrupting the immersion of another player in their gameplay. In simpler words, it means: Don’t steal or raid, Don’t destroy someone else’s work, Don’t destroy land around someone base to upset them, don’t kill their animals.
- Only time killing other players is acceptable is when both players mutually agree on it.
- Tricking players into pvp is not allowed.
- Extorting players in this situation is not allowed.
¶ 2.3: Shops and trading with other users must be done honestly.
- If you agree to a trade and a player pays you, you must honour your end of the trade.
- Shops must display honest information. Shops with misleading information are not allowed.
- If you are asked to discontinue something by staff, please don’t argue.
- We have programs that are pinpointing lag. This is the reason you are being asked to stop doing something.
- Things that are fine in singleplayer or with five players on a server can cause problems with more people online.
As a general rule, all automatic machines should have off switches.
- Please do not run automatic systems that you don’t need. Turn off farms, quarries, and sorting systems when you don’t need them. This includes Botania, Thaumcraft, and Blood Magic.
- Running machines for no reason causes lag. If staff tell you to turn them off, please do so. Competing to have the most cobble in an ME system, or who can have the most Ultimate Solar panels is not a good reason for causing lag on the server.
- Quarries are limited to two per player. Size of a quarry should not be over 100x100. Quarries may be used in the Deep Dark, Mining Worlds, and the Nether.
Failure to follow requests will force staff to remove your setup.
- You can of course ask for basic items, but nothing that should be considered end-game.
- Do not repetitively ask for items, as your requests may be considered as spam.
- It should be necessary that you earn your own items, instead of asking others for them.
- You can hand out some items, only building resources and some early-games items, nothing end-game.
- End game item that you given away will be taken away and told not to do it again.
- If you have been allowed access to these, understand that they are for you, and not anyone else.
- Don’t brag about having them.
- Don’t allow other players in to use them.
- Don’t set up systems giving all players access to what comes out of them.
- Abuse will just convince us it was wrong to trust you with access to them.
- Don’t make loud high pitched noises
- Don’t blast music into your mic
- Anything else considered annoying will result in a punishment
- Debates are not considered this
- We don’t need to hear what you’re typing
- Chat is PG in all channels except for the NSFW channel, where any sort of inappropriate material can be posted. That is why it’s called NSFW - Not Safe For Work.
