# Server rules Welcome to **MC Tea Craft**! β˜•\ Our goal is to provide a cozy, creative, and respectful environment β€” both in-game and here on Discord. To ensure that, we ask everyone to follow the rules below. These apply to **all channels, DMs between members, and voice chats**. Violating these rules may result in **warnings, timeouts, bans, or permanent removal** from the community β€” depending on the severity. #### 🧭 A Note on Community Values These rules are meant to serve as a **basic moral compass** for behavior in both the MC Tea Craft server and its Discord community. While we've done our best to be thorough, not every possible situation is written out in detail. That said:\ \&#xNAN;***If something clearly goes against the spirit of our community β€” or violates Mojang’s Terms of Service or Community Guidelines β€” it will not be tolerated***, even if it's not explicitly listed here. We expect all players to act with: * **Kindness** * **Fairness** * **Integrity** * **Respect for others and the game itself** Use common sense. If you have to ask, β€œIs this okay?” β€” it probably isn’t.\ When in doubt, ask a staff member. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and fun place for all players. Let's keep it that way. 🍡 *** #### πŸ’¬ 1. Be Respectful Treat every player with kindness and maturity. **Do not:** * Insult, provoke, or flame other users * Use hate speech (racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc.) * Send unwanted DMs to other members * Engage in targeted harassment, even jokingly * Post disturbing, violent, or graphic content **This includes voice chat, messages, reactions, nicknames, and usernames.**\ Disrespect = no tea. β˜• *** #### 🚫 2. No Griefing or Stealing (In-Game) Our server is built on trust and creativity β€” ruining that for others is unacceptable. **This means:** * Do not destroy or alter other players’ builds * Do not steal items from chests, frames, furnaces, farms, or any containers * "I thought it was abandoned" is not a valid excuse * Unclaimed builds still count as someone’s work β€” respect them If you're unsure whether something is abandoned, **ask a staff member** first. *** #### πŸ“£ 3. Keep Chat Cozy This community values a relaxed and welcoming vibe β€” please keep the tone friendly and inclusive. **Not allowed:** * Spam, floods, or repeated messages * Advertising other Minecraft servers or Discord communities * Self-promotion without permission * Offensive or inappropriate jokes * Excessive or aggressive swearing * NSFW, suggestive, or shock content (even behind spoiler tags) We want people of all ages and backgrounds to feel welcome here. *** #### 🧱 4. Play Fair – No Cheats or Exploits (in-game) We believe in fair play. Any attempt to gain unfair advantages will not be tolerated. **Forbidden:** * Hacked clients (e.g. fly hacks, kill aura, reach, etc.) * X-ray texture packs or resource packs * Duplication glitches * AFK farms that exploit mechanics * Exploiting bugs without reporting them * Using macros or auto-clickers **If you're unsure whether something is allowed, ask first.**\ Fair play > fast gain. *** #### 🏑 5. Protect Your Builds Use claim systems and other available protections to secure your land and items. **Important:** * Staff will **not roll back grief** on unclaimed areas * Use `/claim`, `/trust`, or other tools depending on the plugin * Shared areas should be agreed upon clearly β€” we don’t mediate personal disputes You’re responsible for protecting your stuff! *Also keep in mind that you are not allowed to build objects or claim land within 2000 blocks of another claim of at least 10K blocks. So keep apart of eachothers claims to give players the ability to expand their builds and keep them future proof.* 🚫 Claiming land purely for tactical or strategic purposes (e.g. blocking others, reserving future builds) is not allowed. *** #### πŸ‘€ 6. One Account Per Player Each person may only play with **one Minecraft account** on the server. **No alts for:** * Claiming extra land * Earning additional daily keys * Farming items or events * Avoiding bans or mutes If you share a household with another player, **let staff know in advance**. *** #### πŸŽ“ 7. Respect Staff Our moderators and admins are volunteers who help keep things safe and fun. **What this means:** * Follow their instructions * Don't argue or cause drama in public chats * Use DMs or designated support channels if you have concerns * False reports or harassment of staff may result in punishment If you disagree, you can always escalate **calmly and privately**. *** #### πŸ›’ 8. Trade Fair Shops and trades are a big part of the server β€” honesty is expected. **Unacceptable practices:** * Misleading signs * Tricking players with renamed items * False prices or bait-and-switch * Promising trades and not delivering Report any scams to staff.\ A fair trade is a happy trade. πŸ›’ *** #### 🌈 9. Keep It Fun and Friendly This community thrives on creativity, weird builds, and warm vibes. **So please:** * Avoid negative drama or constant complaining * Include others when possible β€” especially new players * Don’t gatekeep, mock, or discourage others * Remember: **we’re here to enjoy Minecraft together** Help make MC Tea Craft a server people want to return to. πŸ’š *** #### 🚨 Breaking the Rules Depending on the severity and frequency, rule-breaking may lead to: * ⚠️ Warnings * πŸ•“ Timeouts or temporary mutes * πŸ”¨ Temporary or permanent bans * πŸ“ Logged moderation reports We believe in transparency, fairness, and second chances β€” but we also protect the community from repeated or harmful behavior. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
