Server rules

⚖️ Article 1 · General principles

• 🤝 Respect everyone: players, staff, newcomers and rivals alike.
• 🧠 Common sense first. If something feels like cheating or harassment, it probably is.
• 👮 Staff have the final word. Disagree politely in private or on the forums, never in public chat.
• 📣 Report, don't retaliate. If someone breaks a rule, report them instead of taking justice into your own hands.
• 🔄 These rules can change. Changes are announced on the forums and apply immediately.

💬 Article 2 · Chat & communication

• 🚫 No insults, harassment, threats, discrimination or hate speech, in any language.
• 📢 No spam: flooding, repeated messages, excessive caps, walls of emojis or character spam.
• 🔗 No advertising for other servers, Discords or services, even in private messages.
• 🔞 No inappropriate content: sexual, gore, drugs, or anything unsuitable for a young audience.
• 🕵️ No doxxing: never share someone's personal information (name, address, photos, socials) without consent.
• 🗳️ Keep real-world politics and religion out of chat. In-game politics between towns and nations is welcome.
• 🌍 French and English are both welcome. Use town (/tc) or nation (/nc) chat for long private discussions.

🛡️ Article 3 · Cheats, mods & exploits

• 🐛 Bugs and duplication glitches must be reported to staff, never used or shared. Reporting a serious bug can be rewarded.
• 🏗️ No lag machines or builds made to slow the server down.
• 🤔 Unsure about a mod? Ask staff before using it.

🏰 Article 4 · Claims & territory

Land is the heart of Survival. These rules exist so every town has room to grow.

• 🚧 Claim blocking is forbidden. Claiming land around another town, or in a line across its path, only to stop it from expanding is not allowed. Towns have the right to grow.
• 📏 Leave room to breathe. When you settle near an existing town or nation, leave it space to expand (at least a few chunks beyond its current borders), and don't settle right against its walls.
• 🎯 Claim to use, not to deny. Claiming a resource area (a village, a monument, a mountain) only so others can't reach it is claim blocking.
• 👻 No fake or empty towns. Towns created only to reserve land, block a neighbour or farm upkeep will be removed.
• 🏛️ Respect landmarks. Don't claim around spawn exits, public roads or community builds to cut them off.
• 🧹 Abandoned land can be reclaimed. When a town is deleted, its land becomes free for everyone.
• ⚖️ Border disputes are settled by staff. Bring screenshots and the live map.

🤝 Article 5 · Trade & scams

Survival has a living, player-driven economy. Scams are part of the game: a deal between players is always at your own risk, and staff will not refund a bad trade. But scamming must not be abused:

• 🙅 No targeting newcomers. Repeatedly scamming new or clearly inexperienced players is harassment.
• 🔁 No scamming as a lifestyle. Occasional sharp deals are part of the game; building your whole gameplay on scamming others is not.
• 💶 No real money. Scams, trades or promises involving real money, gift cards or accounts are strictly forbidden.
• 👮 No staff impersonation to gain trust in a deal.
• 🐛 No scams using bugs (fake items, visual glitches, exploited menus).
• 📝 Written contracts are honoured by staff. If both sides sign a deal on the forums, staff will enforce it.

⚔️ Article 6 · PvP, raids & war

• 🌲 PvP is allowed in the Wilderness, the Arena and towns with PvP on. Killing and looting there is part of the game.
• 🔓 Unprotected builds can be raided. Anything left in the Wilderness can be broken or taken. Claim it to protect it.
• 🚪 No spawn camping: don't wait at spawn, RTP landing spots or warp exits to kill players who just arrived.
• 🐣 Leave newcomers alone. Repeatedly hunting the same new player is harassment.
• 🏃 No combat logging. Logging out while in combat kills you, and doing it on purpose can be sanctioned.
• 📜 Wars must be declared. A nation declares war with /n enemy add and a post on the forums. See Diplomacy & war.
• 🕊️ Peace treaties and surrenders signed on the forums must be respected.

🏗️ Article 7 · Building & environment

• 🎨 No offensive builds or pixel art.
• 🌳 Tidy up. Replant trees you cut near towns and don't leave floating trees or huge craters next to other players' land.
• 🔥 No lava casting, fire or TNT used to grief near other players' builds, even in the Wilderness.
• 🐄 Reasonable farms. Huge mob or animal farms that lag the server will be reduced by staff.
• 🧱 Don't build right against someone else's borders without their agreement.

👤 Article 8 · Accounts

• 🔐 You are responsible for your account. Anything done on it is your responsibility, even if someone else used it.
• 👥 One main account per person. Alternate accounts may not be used to boost a town's resident count, farm rewards, vote twice or dodge a sanction.
• 💱 No selling, buying or sharing accounts.
• 🚫 Ban evasion (coming back on another account while banned) leads to a permanent ban of every account.

💰 Article 9 · Economy

• 💶 No real-money trading: in-game money, Coins, items, land or services can't be sold for real money.
• 🐛 No exploiting prices or menus (shop price bugs, auction glitches).
• 🤖 Automatic farms are fine, AFK macros are not. Redstone farms are allowed; programs that press keys for you are not. The AFK Pond is the official way to earn while away.
• 🧾 Coins bought on the store are tied to your account and can't be transferred.

🚨 Article 10 · Sanctions

Sanctions depend on how serious the offence is and on your history. Staff can skip steps for serious cases.
