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.

* 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.

No Griefing. Period.  
Do to others as you would have them do to you.

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


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


* Redstone machines and mechanisms should not be used to grief other players. This includes:
* 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.
** Using redstone to deform another's build
** Hidden noisemakers
** Lag-inducing machines
 
=== Deactivation Mechanisms ===
All redstone machines and farms must have a means to be deactivated. 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.


Deactivation means:
=== Lag Prevention Measures ===


* Pistons should no longer change position. They can be extended or retracted but should no longer move.
* Place light blocks around your redstone circuits to prevent lag from lighting updates.
* Redstone signal lines should be locked to their current power.
* Use water streams or ice block pathways instead of hopper chains, if possible.
* Hoppers should no longer transfer items into another container. It is ok to have items transfer in.
* Cover hoppers with composters or furnaces.
* Observers should be in a state where they are unlikely to be activated.
* Build an off switch for deactivating redstone machines and farms. Deactivation means:
 
** Pistons aren't moving
=== Lag Prevention ===
** Redstone signal lines are locked to their current power
==== Reducing Light Updates ====
** Hoppers aren't pulling items out of a container
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.
** Observers aren't being triggered
 
** Mobs aren't being spawned
==== Ice Paths instead of Hopper Chains ====
* Farms should have an auto-shutoff mechanism so storage doesn't overflow.
When possible, transferring items over packed ice or blue ice is preferable to relying on hopper chains.
 
==== Covering Hoppers ====
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.


=== Duping Items ===
=== 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.


=== 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
* Individual Guardian farms
 
==== Iron Farms ====
Small farms are allowed, one per player. Iron farms must have a deactivation mechanism, eg: blocking line of sight to the hostile mob.
 
==== 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 ===
==== 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 ====
* Don't use flying machines to grief/damage another player's items, mobs, or builds
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.
* 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.)
==== 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.


== Player Claims ==
== Player Claims ==


=== 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.

=== Protect Your Stuff ===


* No player-made roads or paths outside of your claim and 200 block buffer.

  • Hacked clients
    • Wolfram, ForgeWurst, etc.

Permitted Mods

  • Map Mods
    • JourneyMap, VoxelMap, Xaero's Minimap, etc

Support Tickets

Support tickets are handled on a regular basis by staff members. Tickets can be submitted in the #support-tickets channel on the Discord.

Inactivity

  • The whitelist will be periodically assessed for inactive players. You are deemed inactive if you have not logged into the Minecraft server or posted in the Discord for at least 1 month.
  • Being removed for inactivity means forfeiting your build and possessions. Removing yourself from Discord will result in an automatic unwhitelisting.
  • If you are removed due to inactivity, you can only return by resubmitting an application.
  • Let staff know about any upcoming inactivity to reserve your spot on the whitelist.

Player Infractions

Depending on the infraction depends on the punishment. Any staff member has the ability to discern what punishment fits any rule breaking. This includes Branch Managers. You may not question or ignore a Branch Manager to wait for the opinion of a Co-Owner.

Warnings

  • We will generally try to contact a player privately to issue a warning if unwanted behavior occurs. If admins are ignored or if confrontation begins, action may escalate to a temporary or permanent ban.

Temporary Bans

  • Temporary bans will result in the player being unwhitelisted for a minimum of 24 hours. The player will be responsible for themselves as normal after the temporary ban. Temp banned players may continue to use the Discord, but being confrontational can lead to a permanent ban.

Permanent Bans

  • You will be removed from the Discord, removed from the whitelist, and unable to return to Stumped. There is no appeal.
