This community is for adults. Have fun, but don't be a jerk. There is a zero tolerance policy for challenging rules and searching for loopholes.
Rules are an important part of our server. Our guidelines ensure that our players know that they will be protected. No one is exempt from following rules, however, how one reacts to being reprimanded for breaking them can determine the consequences. There is a zero tolerance policy for challenging rules and searching for loopholes.
 
This community is for adults, therefore, we assume each person who applies and is accepted understands that every cause has an effect. Remember, Staff are players too.


== Chat ==
== Chat ==
Chat is to home to relatively clean conversation across all the platforms (Minecraft, Discord, et cetera...). We aim to stay PG-13.
'''Important:''' Players must be a member of the Stumped Discord at all times. If you leave the Discord, we will assume that you wish to leave the Minecraft server as well.
 
* Try to keep your language PG-13.
* Cursing is fine to a point.
* No racism, sexism, bigotry, hate speech, or excessively political and religious conversations. Brief political jokes are okay (eg: "Thanks, Obama")
** Cursing every other word during normal conversation is seen as immature and can become uncomfortable for everyone. '''If you are asked not to say a particular word, please be an adult and be mindful of that player and word.'''
* If a staff member asks you to change the topic of discussion, you must comply.
* No racism, sexism, bigotry, hate speech, or political and religious conversations.
*Potentially triggering topics such as suicide, rape, etc. should be avoided.
** Clean jokes are allowed ("Thanks, Obama," and "Build the wall"), but they will not go further.
* No spamming, begging, recruiting for your MLM, etc.
** Negatively fueled jokes are '''NOT''' allowed. '''If you are asked to refrain, then you will be expected to do so.'''
**Insensitive topics such as rape, murder, violence, or otherwise deemed as such by staff is explicitly '''PROHIBITED. No exceptions to this rule.'''
* Chat is to be free of annoyances.
** Spamming is not allowed
** No advertising or promoting without permission from staff
** No begging
* Be mindful of the atmosphere others have created.
** Don't fling poo, please.
 
'''Important:''' Players must be a member on Stumped Discord at all times.


== Griefing ==
== Griefing ==
No Griefing. Period.  
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
 
* Pranks shouldn't destroy another player's items, mobs, or builds.
* Do not take people's things without permission
 
* You cannot destroy builds outside of abandoned raid events
 
* No unsolicited/harmful pranks
 
* Non-consensual PvP is off limits.


* Do not gather resources within a player's 200 block claim
* PVP must be consensual.
** No killing other player's mobs
** Do not take any resources, even renewable resources (such as potatoes), without permission FIRST
* Do not harass players or staff
** Do not attempt to reach a player once they ignore you within or outside of the community (discord, games, e-mail, et cetera)
** No doxxing
** Learn to read players. if you say something to a player and they are not replying, do not press them further
*** These situations will be handled case-by-case. If you are unsure about a player's intentions, take a screenshot for future reference in case your suspicions become well-founded. At this point, contact a Branch Manager or Co-Owner.
* No circumventing any rules, regulations, and barriers inside and out of the game, especially in ways that would give you an advantage over players.
** AFK timer is set to a generous 30 minutes.


When in doubt, don't do to others that you wouldn't want done to you.  
* Don't gather resources within another player's claim or 200 block buffer. This includes chopping trees, killing mobs, and harvesting crops.
* Do not harass other players or staff.
** Leave other players alone if they ignore you in game or in the Discord.
** Do not try to contact Stumped members on other platforms without their permission (eg: Reddit, Steam, social media)
** No doxxing.  


== Redstone Rules ==
== Redstone & Farms ==


=== Griefing ===
=== Griefing ===


* Redstone machines an mechanisms should not be used to grief other players.  
* Redstone machines and mechanisms should not be used to grief other players. This includes using redstone to deform/destroy a player's build or to cause excessive lag.
* This includes, but is not limited to
** Using redstone to deform another's build
** Hidden Noisemakers
** Lag-Inducing Machines
* If you are found to have violated this section, the machine will subject to immediate removal and possible sanctions.
 
=== Aesthetic Considerations and Optimizations ===
The guts of a machine isn't something everyone likes to see, but it is understandable that not all mechanisms can be encased in an aesthetically pleasing shell. However, it is a good thing to strive for.
 
=== Deactivation Mechanisms ===
All redstone machines and farms must have a means to be deactivated. On top of being good design to have a shutoff mechanism for the sake of maintenance and repair of unplanned damage, we may require the shutoff of redstone machines due to temporary lag issues.
 
Having an easily-found and easily operated shutoff mechanism prevents the staff from damaging your machine in order to deactivate it.
 
* Pistons should no longer change position. They can be extended or retracted but should no longer move.
* Redstone signal lines should be locked to their current power.
* Hoppers should no longer transfer items into another container. It is ok to have items transfer in.
* Observers should be in a state where it is unlikely to be activated.
 
=== Lag Prevention ===
One of the largest drawbacks of redstone automation is the creation of lag. Thus, we strongly encourage measures be taken to reduce the impact on the server and other players. While it is understandable that certain conditions prevent total elimination of needless lag, all designs should aim to incorporate these measures.
 
==== Reducing Light Updates ====
While only redstone torches emit light, all redstone components may trigger a light update during the block update if the server believes that the light level needs to be recalculated. Therefore, it is best to completely light up the area your mechanisms are in or to seal it off completely with opaque blocks so that there is a constant light level. Torches work, but glowstone and sea lanterns are best.
 
==== Ice Paths instead of Hopper Chains ====
When possible, transferring items over packed ice or blue ice is preferable to relying on hopper chains.


==== Covering Hoppers ====
=== Lag Prevention Measures ===
Covering the top of hoppers that do not need to collect items from the top, such as hoppers in a hopper chain, will provide a small reduction in lag. While not huge, this reduction does add up.


The best block to put on top is a dropper, followed by an opaque block, a half-slab, and finally a furnace.
* Place light blocks around your redstone circuits to prevent lag from lighting updates.
* Use water streams or ice block pathways instead of hopper chains, if possible.
* Cover hoppers with composters or furnaces.
* Build an off switch for deactivating redstone machines and farms. Deactivation means:
** Pistons aren't moving
** Redstone signal lines are locked to their current power
** Hoppers aren't pulling items out of a container
** Observers aren't being triggered
** Mobs aren't being spawned
* Farms should have an auto-shutoff mechanism so storage doesn't overflow.


=== Duping and 0-Tick Farms ===
=== Duping Items ===


* Exploiting glitches in the game to clone/duplicate items (aka "duping") is not allowed. This includes items like TNT, rails, carpet, sand, gravel, etc.
* Don't exploit glitches in the game to clone/duplicate items (aka "duping.") This includes items like TNT, rails, carpet, sand, gravel, etc.
* Using 0-tick pistons to quickly farm items like cactus, bamboo, and sugarcane is also not allowed. This type of farm will be patched in 1.16, so it will soon be obsolete anyway.


=== Mob Farming ===
=== Mob Farming ===


==== Prohibited Farms ====
* No individual gold farms, individual Endermen farms, individual Guardian farms, or AFK fishing farms
 
* Iron farms should be small and must have a deactivation mechanism (eg: blocking line of sight to the hostile mob.)
* Individual gold farms
* Darkness-based and monster spawner farms must have a mechanism to disable spawning via lighting or flooding the spawn areas.
* Individual Endermen farms
* AFK fishing farms
* note - community farms will be established.
 
==== Iron Farms ====
Small (1-village) farms are allowed, one per person. There is an example approved build used by many players, but you are not restricted to this design so long as you do not utilize builds that have a much larger footprint or are multi-village designs. Iron farms must have a deactivation mechanism, be it by removing villagers, disrupting the village detection calculation, or other means.
 
==== Guardian Farms ====
Guardian Farms are permitted but regulated. Please see staff for rules regarding regulation and if you are permitted to build one. Like all other farms there should be a method to prevent spawns, effectively shutting off the farm.
 
==== Mob Grinders ====
Both Darkness-based and Monster Spawner farms are allowed, but must have a mechanism to disable spawning via lighting or flooding the spawn areas.


=== Flying Machines ===
=== Flying Machines ===
With the addition of the slime block, a new breed of redstone mechanisms were introduced: flying machines. Another revolution in redstone engineering, we’ve now had enough time to see the impacts on lag and other players to lay down a few rules.
==== Prohibited Uses ====
Missiles, bombers, and other means to deform another player’s build via flying machines is prohibited. Grief machines (e.g. anvil launchers, TNT cannons, etc) are also prohibited.
==== Standard Restrictions ====
As with all other redstone mechanisms, all flying machines must either have a shutoff mechanism or be connected to a timing mechanism which can be shut off. Continuously-running flying machines are highly discouraged.
In addition, all measures should be taken to reduce light updates by lighting up the path the flying machine moves through.
==== Movement Restrictions ====
Despite the name of ‘flying machines’, such mechanisms need to be contained within a build, where the path it moves along is constant and predictable. Its movement path should not cross more than 8 sub-chunks.


=== Build Reviews ===
* Don't use flying machines to grief/damage another player's items, mobs, or builds
Redstone builds can get rather large and rather complex, and thus medium- and large-scale redstone builds need a quick look-over to make sure that they do not put undue stress on the server.


To request a review, make a post in the #support-tickets channel on Discord with:
* Flying machines must have a shutoff mechanism
* Flying machines must have their path blocked and contained within a reasonable area (no more than 8 chunks.)


* Any screenshots or pictures of the desired build
== Player Claims ==
* An explanation of what the build will do with an overview of major components
* Any tutorial videos used as a basis for the build
* Coordinates of the build’s potential or actual location


It’s better safe than sorry, so if you have any doubts on whether something needs a review, go and post a request for a review.
=== Respect Others ===
* Do not build or gather resources outside of your claim area and 200 block buffer. Use the provided resource map and quarries for gathering beyond your claim.
* Other players' chests are off limits unless specified otherwise.
* Player bases are allowed to be visited by default. If you do not wish for players to visit your home, please let players know with signs and/or fences.


== Lockette and Claims ==
=== Protect Your Stuff ===


* Do not build or gather resources within 200 blocks of player claims without permission.  
*Every player has access to the Block Inspector '''/co i''' command. This command will show all player interactions with a block or container, with timestamps. Use /co i if you suspect that someone has been messing with your stuff and report any evidence to a staff member.
** This should include room for your buffer too. If you build exactly 200 blocks from that player, this is a buffer you've lost in that direction. Please be mindful.
* Use the Lockette plugin by placing a regular (not hanging) sign on any container, door, gate, or trapdoor to label it with your name and lock it for other players.
** Do not gather resources outside of your claim and your 200 block buffer.  
* Create a protected claim area by right clicking with a golden shovel.
*** Use the provided resource map and quarries for extreme gathering beyond your claim.  
* Chests are off limits unless specified otherwise.
** Players will be reprimanded for breaking this rule; however, due to the amount of plugins involved to keep player items safe, stolen items will not be replaced.
* Player bases are allowed to be visited by default. If you do not wish for players to visit your home, please let players know with signs and/or fences
** But visitors must remember not to gather resources in these areas unless permission is granted before hand.
