Vanilly SMP RULES
The Official Guideline for Players!
Last Updated: March 2nd, 2023.
INTRODUCTION
This guideline is to provide players with the appropriate information for playing.
We will only punish players with sufficient evidence from logs, screenshots, or videos.
Avoid making assumptions, only act on hard evidence.
SERVER RULES
All players will receive equal punishment regardless of their previous status or affiliation with the server.
Use Common Sense
Anything that harms the community, players, server economy, or server as a whole and is not meant to be a normal feature of Minecraft or Vanilly is subject to punishment, even if it is not laid out specifically in the rules.
No Cheating, Hacking or Exploiting Bugs.
Any player who finds a way around the system to gain an advantage is considered a cheater.
Any player who modifies their client or uses a program to give them an advantage is a hacker.
All modifications/programs besides the following are prohibited:
Any player who knowingly exploits a bug is an exploiter.
Example: Item duplication or abusing an error caused by staff.
If you discover a bug, make a ticket and report it.
Hiding the bug, abusing it, or telling other players will raise your ban length.
Chunk loaders are not permitted. This counts as cheating.
Bypassing Ban / Mute / Filter
Players may not bypass a ban or mute by any method, including using alternate accounts.
Players may not intentionally try to get around the chat filter.
If you’re caught bypassing any punishment with an alt or any other method the duration will be extended.
No Disrespect / Harassment / Trolling / Toxicity / Racism / Questionable Terms
Be polite and respectful to others regardless of the situation.
Report a player or /ignore them if you feel that you have engaged in a toxic conversation with them.
Repeated violations of toxicity that negatively affect the community will result in punishment.
Bothering a player repeatedly is considered harassment.
If a player asks you to leave their land, leave the area entirely.
If a player asks you to stop messaging, then stop.
If the public chat becomes too heated over a topic, then a staff member reserves the right to break it up and mute players. Refusal to follow staff instructions in a situation like this will result in punishment.
Treating someone poorly based on race falls under the racism rule, and all players will be punished accordingly. Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's race is superior.
Any variation of socially questionable terms will not be tolerated.
Impersonating staff members is not allowed.
Absolutely no political discussions are allowed in public server chat. Any discussion of political views or beliefs must occur in DM’s.
Do not discuss sensitive issues (abortion, religion, etc) in public chat. Please keep it in messages or DM’s.
No Spamming / Advertising
Spamming includes but is not limited to:
Staff will use their best judgment to determine what is considered spam.
Do not advertise other servers or discords that are not Vanilly-owned.
Keep the chat in English at all times
Chatting in your own language is only allowed in whispers.
Do not engage when you see people talking in your (none-english) language.
No Excessive Derogatory Swearing
Players can swear to express themselves, not to insult/attack others.
Allowed: “Fuck I died from a creeper.”
Not Allowed: “Fuck you, asshole.”
Vanilly is family-friendly, so most swearing will be censored regardless.
Staff members will determine when swearing becomes excessive.
No Scamming
Scamming is falsely promising one thing and then doing another. The following are examples of scamming:
We are not responsible and do not condone any transactions between players that involve real-life money.
No PVP’ing Unless Agreed Upon
Do not PVP unless both parties agree.
When someone bothers you, this does not give you the right to kill them.
PvP is disabled by default, but that doesn’t mean that you can PvP anyone that has it enabled.
Let an admin know what’s going on instead.
No Teleport Trapping / PvP Bypass
Portal trapping is prohibited. All Nether portals must not be blocked off with doors or blocks.
Attempting to kill a player through any means that has PvP disabled, is not allowed whatsoever.
Making any sort of trap that would lead to a player's death, is against the rules, and will be considered a malicious act.
No Death Threats / Malicious Threats / Encouraging Suicide
Malicious threats include DDOS attacks / Leaking another person’s information.
Threatening to kill a person in real life is considered a death threat.
Telling players to commit suicide, encouraging them, or jokingly saying “kys” is not allowed.
Griefing / Stealing
Do not destroy anything that is not yours.
Do not steal from chests that are not yours.
Do not steal someone else's map art.
Do not claim other peoples map art to be yours.
Defacing or destroying the natural appearance of land within 48 blocks of a land claim is prohibited.
Building within 64 blocks of a claimed land is not allowed.
Use common sense. If the builder/land owner doesn’t want something to be there, it is most likely considered griefing.
The land owner is always responsible to claim their land, but if for some reason it’s not claimed, but very obviously a “claimed land”, we will help restore and roll back any grief that happens or items stolen.
Do Not Abuse Land Power
This rule applies to all members of a land.
This includes but is not limited to the following:
Alternative Accounts
Using alternate accounts to AFK farms is not allowed.
Using alternate accounts to break server rule(s).
Using an alternate account to abuse our reward system is prohibited, such as:
No IRL Land Names
This includes country/city names that exist IRL, past or present.
Not to be used in warps, claims, shops, etc.
No Inappropriate Skin/Username/Inappropriate Builds
This is a family-friendly server, we have no tolerance for anything that could be offensive to other players. A breakdown of examples is displayed below, but this is up to the discretion of staff.
Skins: Nudity, Racism, Nazi Skins, or any other representations of violence.
Usernames: Swear words, NSFW terms, or anything with racist intent.
Builds: Swastikas, phallic structures, anything politically sensitive, or swear words.
**This can include things beyond the examples provided, it is up to the community and staff to recognize and resolve any sort of inappropriate nature being displayed within Vanilly**
