📜 Rules & Information Welcome to Arcane Realms! To keep the server fun and fair for everyone, please take a moment to read our rules and basic server information.

🛡️ Arcane SMP Server Rules

These rules apply to all players, regardless of rank or playtime. Ignorance is not an excuse.

🧱 1. General Behavior & Conduct

  • Be respectful to all players and staff. Toxicity, harassment, or hate speech (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) will not be tolerated.

  • Keep chat family-friendly (no excessive swearing, NSFW topics, or offensive language).

  • No spam, excessive CAPS, or flooding chat.

  • Do not impersonate staff or other players.

  • English only in public chats (to ensure moderation).

🧨 2. Hacking & Cheating

  • Strictly no hacked clients, cheats, exploits, or unfair mods (e.g., X-ray, fly, speed, kill aura, etc.).

  • Allowed mods: OptiFine, MiniMap (no entity radar), Fulbright, Tweakeroo (non-combat QoL only).

  • No auto-clickers, macros, or scripts that give an unfair advantage (e.g., AFK farming, combat macros).

  • Punishment: Immediate ban (no appeals for blatant cheating).

🛠️ 3. Griefing & Stealing

  • Griefing is never allowed (destroying builds, lava casting, block spam, etc.) unless in PvP zones.

  • No stealing from chests, farms, or containers—even if unclaimed.

  • "Pranks" must be reversible (e.g., no TNT traps, wither spawns, or irreversible damage).

🏠 4. Claims & Land

  • Respect land claims (use /claims or ask before building near others).

  • No building within 100 blocks of someone’s base without permission.

  • Unclaimed land ≠ free to grief. If it’s not yours, don’t touch it.

🏹 5. PvP Rules

  • PvP is consensual unless in designated PvP zones/war areas.

  • No spawn killing (killing players repeatedly at spawn or safe zones).

  • No combat logging (logging out to avoid PvP death).

  • No trap killing (e.g., hidden lava, fall traps in non-PvP areas).

🔧 6. Bug Abuse & Exploits

  • Do NOT abuse dupes, glitches, or unintended mechanics (e.g., item duping, invincibility exploits).

  • Report bugs to staff immediately—abuse = ban.

🛒 7. Economy & Trading

  • No scamming (false trades, fake shops, misleading auctions).

  • No IRL trading (selling in-game items for real money).

  • No market manipulation (hoarding to inflate prices).

📢 8. Advertising & Links

  • No advertising other servers, Discords, or social media.

  • No unapproved links (malicious links = instant ban).

🎭 9. Alt Accounts

  • Max 3 accounts per player.

  • Alts cannot be used to:

    • Bypass bans/mutes.

    • Farm resources unfairly.

    • Hoard event rewards.

🔊 10. Voice & Discord Rules

  • Same behavior rules apply (no toxicity, slurs, or harassment).

  • No mic spam, ear rape, or soundboard abuse.

  • Discord-specific:

    • No @everyone/@here without staff permission.

    • No NSFW content in any channel.

⚖️ 11. Punishment & Appeals

  • Breaking rules = warn → mute → ban (severity depends on offense).

  • False reports waste staff time and may result in punishment.

  • Appeals must be submitted via Discord/website (no begging in-game).

🌍 12. Server-Specific Rules

  • No lag machines (excessive redstone, entity cramming, etc.).

  • No AFK farming unless allowed in specific zones.

  • Staff decisions are final—arguing = mute.

  • 📣 Final Note

    Rules may be updated at any time. Players are expected to stay informed. Staff have final discretion in unclear cases.
