Rules & Punishments

Bans

• No harassment

Don't harass people; no spamming mean comments, revealing personal information and so on.

• No abusing bugs of any kind

Don't use bugs within plugins or Minecraft itself to your advantage e.g. duping.

• No alt abusing

Each IP is allowed 5 accounts connected to it. That can be your main account and 4 alts or you and a brother with 3 alts etc. Don't go over 5 accounts, or you'll be perm banned. You must keep track of how many accounts are on your IP and staff are not allowed to tell you how many accounts are associated with your IP.

​

• No inappropriate skins, capes, or Minecraft usernames

Don't have inappropriate images on your skin, and nothing you can't say in chat in your name.

• No ban or mute evading

If you've been banned or muted you can appeal, but don't evade your punishment. Evading a punishment can be going on an alternate account

• No inappropriate item names

Again, self explanatory. If you're not allowed to say it in chat, you're not allowed to rename an item it.

• No hacking / using unapproved mods

• No deliberate annoying of staff

Includes things like excessively targeting staff in PvP. Targeting involves waiting for you to jump, stalking you etc.

​

• No inappropriate builds or fly/lag machines

Includes things like building genitalia or swear words.

• No use of macros or scripts

Includes things such as a soup macro, an auto melon selling script, autoclicker, or anything similar. Macros are allowed to avoid being AFK kicked.

• No scamming 

This means you can't scam, simple as. If you agree to a deal and one person fulfils their end, you have to fulfil yours.
This now also includes lowballing/highballing. You are not allowed to knowingly convince a new player that something is worth almost nothing when it's a rare / high value item, nor are you allowed to convince them what you're selling is worth a lot when it's actually not.

Mutes

• No excessive use of caps

Using caps for more than 4 words in a row or 15 characters is considered excessive.

• No spamming

The following constitutes as spam;
- 3+ identical or very similar messages in a short burst of time
- 5+ identical or very similar messages over a longer period of time
- 10+ of the same character, or just jibberish e.g. "oooooooooooooooooo" or "dhjgfhvghshfsdhv"
Note: Any hacked client spam  is considered a 30d ban for having a client, and not a mute.

• No swearing / cursing

Rather self explanatory. Don't bypass the filter and don't use words that people would consider swearing.

• No being disrespectful

Self explanatory again. Just don't be mean or disrespectful. Regular faction saltiness is accepted, just don't take it overboard. This includes any discriminatory language such as the n word. Directly insulting a player, particularly excessively.

• No advertising

Light advertising is:

- Asking players to join a competing server such as the Archon via mentioning the server’s name in general conversation. This excludes servers like Mineplex and Hypixel, as they are not competitors and are of a level of notoriety that means they don't need advertising.
- Advertising YouTube or Twitch channels that do not contain BlazeCraft content. This includes just telling players the name, or posting the link.
-Discord links that are not the BlazeCraft discord.
-Light advertising also includes asking a competing player or faction to fight you on a practice server (Eg. let’s settle this dispute with a 5v5 on Velt)

Advertising is:

- Trying to recruit players to a competing server by giving out the IP.
- Any short link or link that doesn't go to a trusted website (YouTube, Instagram etc) - biturl's for example. These may be IP grabbers, so don't click them!
