Server Rules

1 Behavior

1.1 TOXICITY

Our policy on expression is very lenient. We allow people to both roleplay as different real-life nations, as well as voice their opinions on sensitive subjects no matter the stance; However, we are NOT accepting of people that purposely make others feel uncomfortable such as...

Harassment
Harassing someone due to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or any other form of identity.
Doxxing
Sharing personal information about another player without consent (i.e. doxxing, "real life" pictures, home addresses and residence names).
Impersonation
Impersonating players by using usernames, nicknames, or town/nation names.
Spam
Spamming or sending messages in a way that disrupts chat flow.
Innapropriateness
Degeneracy and consistent repetitive expression of inappropriate topics.
Smear
Fabricating fake or fraudulent information designed to conspire against the server's or others' image.
Camping
"Town camping" or remaining in close proximity of a town for an unreasonable amount of time with the intention of annoying and killing residents in that town.

1.3 LANGUAGE

When speaking in global chat, you should only speak in English. You can use other private chat channels for other languages such as town chat or private messages.
If the only players online, or if most of the online players speak your language, you are allowed to speak it in the global channels too.

1.2 LINKS

NSFW, NSFL, gore, and malicious links designed to harm a user (i.e. IP grabbers, "token loggers", epilepsy inducing and "crash" videos) are not allowed in our community. Additionally, we do not allow advertisements unless they are explicitly related to the Starlight Network or any of our servers.

2 Mechanics

2.1 CLIENTS

Cheat clients, macro keys, and other modifications which give the player gameplay leverage over other players are not allowed; However, we do allow certain types such as...

Performance

Shaders
Graphical enhancers like shaders, resource packs, etc...
Utility
Inventory utility like item sorters, chest sorters, etc...
Clients

Schematics
Blueprint mods like Litematica, etc...

2.2 XPLOITATION

Players are not allowed to take advantage of apparent server bugs or otherwise exploit technical oversights. Intentionally causing harm to the services we provide is a permanently bannable offense. This includes actions such as...

Item Duping
Duplicating items, containers and entities.
Exploits
Abusing game, permissions and plugin vulnerabilities.
Real Money Trading
Selling ingame items and services for real world money.

3 Politics

3.1 TOWNS AND NATIONS

We are a server of the planet Earth, with the map containing real life locations adjacent to where humans live. People are allowed to carve their own paths so long as the list below is not violated:

Permissions
Joining a nation to abuse/exploit misconfigured nation permissions.
Accuracy
Towns and Nations named after real world locations must both be located in the right geographic position and use the correct spelling and grammar that is used for it in real life (staff will correct this or outright remove the town if done as an annoyance).
Claim Blocking
Claim blocking is the act of placing claims near a town in order to block its expansion. All claims which staff find to be breaking this rule will be REMOVED and owner notified by mail. Players breaking this rule more than once can be denied the ability to place outposts.
Only mayors of towns being claim blocked may report the breaking of this rule.

3.2 GRIEF

Players may not excessively damage terrain around claims. Players breaking this rule can be banned and damage rolled back. Please note that mayors and kings are responsible for misconfigured town/nation permission settings. Grief can be...

Cobble Monsters
Mountain like structures created using water and lava.
Lava/Water Curtains
Placing rows of water/lava in the sky.
Entities
Mass spawning entities within or around a town.
Explosions
TNT Craters.
Land and structures not currently claimed are allowed to be griefed given it's not in close proximity to a claimed area.
Stealing specific blocks for their value is not considered grief and is allowed. This does not apply to easily acquired blocks even if they are valuable to you.

3.3 TERRAFORMATION

To preserve the accuracy and aesthetics of the map, major ugly terraformations are not allowed. In general, if your edits of the landscape alter the map view in a significant unappealing way, they will be removed.
This is a relaxed rule and not strict.

Allowed

TP KILLING

TP killing is the act of tricking a player into accepting a teleportation request with the intention of killing them. It's up to each and every player to protect themselves.
See: Toxicity

AFK POOLS

Standing in a pool, or a machine meant to constantly keep you moving "away from keyboard" is allowed provided no other rules are broken in the process.
You may be kicked if the server needs to free up resources and space for actively playing players.

STEALING AND SCAMMING

Stealing from and scamming other players is allowed. It's up to each and every player to protect their assets.
See: Toxicity
