ALL SERVICES

  • Be respectful and civil toward your fellow players
    • No harassment or excessive trolling
    • No bigotry / hate speech including but not limited to ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion.
    • No disruptive arguments/discussions in global chat
      • Staff will ask you to take these to private message or clanchat if you wish to continue.
    • No public accusations of rule-breaking or bans
      • To report rule violations, make a /modreq ingame or contact a staff member.
    • No “ban baiting”
      • Ban baiting is enticing or aggravating someone into saying or doing something that will result in a ban – this may result in a ban for both parties.
    • Do not build too close to another player’s build (see FAQ for details)
    • No posting personal information (i.e. doxxing)
    • No offensive/inappropriate constructions or skins
    • No impersonating other players, particularly staff
    • Client mods that give a distinct advantage to an individual are not allowed. Click here for the list of approved client mods
    • No killing/stealing mobs "owned" by other players
      • This includes any named mobs, mobs that are enclosed/restrained, claimed pet-type mobs and villagers. “Hostile mob” pets must be enclosed such that players cannot enter and be harmed (without breaking in).
    • You may not trap or kill players except in designated arenas
      • This includes player traps or indirect forms or killing such as placing lava or using mobs
    • You may not restrict access to your builds - the map should be open for exploration
      • Exceptions to this on PvE would include: a structure to hold villagers for trading; killing box of iron grinders (assuming iron is available to the public); small containers housing “pet” hostile mobs.


  • Be Respectful to the server
    • No xraying/hacking/cheating
      • Any use of xray / ore detection will result in an immediate 1 month ban and rollback of all edits.
    • No griefing or block spamming
    • No inducing excessive lag
      • Do not allow huge numbers of entities to build up, e.g. by idling at a non-kill mob grinder or breeding an absurd number of animals.
      • All redstone must have an off switch (or the ability to automatically turn off when not in use)
    • No spam
      • 'Spam' includes a high volume of lines and/or repeated characters entered into chat.
    • No Advertising non-nerd.nu servers
    • Build Removal:
      • Scaffolding, 1x1 towers, or other temporary builds should be removed when you are finished with them. These structures may be removed by staff without notice.
      • Certain "very low quality" structures including but not limited to cobble/netherrack boxes, and floating skyrails may be removed if they significantly impact the surrounding area in a negative way.
      • Unfinished builds that are deemed ‘abandoned’ and are negatively affecting other builds may be removed at admin discretion.
      • Unused claims may be removed at after 1 month of inactivity on creative, or at admin discretion on pve
    • Certain blocks are not permitted, please refer to <FAQ link> for details


  • Bans
    • If banned, no evading the ban - request unbans at nerd.nu/appeal
      • A minimum of 2 weeks will be added to the original ban length for every account used to evade a ban on any of our servers.
      • Any accounts used to evade a ban will be banned for the same amount of time as the original banned account.
      • Admins reserve the right to add additional time depending on the circumstances.
      • Only appealed bans will be lifted.
      • At the time at which an appeal is allowed or afterward, a player may appeal for their other accounts to be unbanned, and if the "main" account is unbanned then the alts are as well.
      • Unbanning of all alt accounts will be done by an administrator or higher.
      • At the discretion of an admin, alternate accounts could remain banned if we believe that the person appealing isn't the actual owner.
      • Bans for the alt accounts will include the name of their "main" account.


EVENTS

  • Event server rules will depend on the event type, typically following the mold of one of the previous four server rulesets. Specific rules are established per-event.
