Craft Down Under Servers - Rules & Guidelines

1. General Server Rules

1.1. Respect & Civility: No Bullying, Harassing, Targeting, Discriminatory and/or Sexist Jokes, Hate speech, or threats of any kind.

• 1.1.1: We welcome everyone from all around the world, you can speak in any language you want so long as you are appropriate.

1.2. Game Integrity: Do not Exploit Bugs, Use Cheats, Hacks, or resource packs for unfair advantage. Do not interrupt another player's gameplay by giving free handouts (unless they request it and it is reasonable).

1.3. Community Harmony: Seek Permission prior to building or claiming near others (within 7 chunks). Avoid generating lag or engaging in toxic behavior.

1.4. Property & Ownership: Griefing, Stealing, Raiding, or Damaging communal areas is prohibited, even in unclaimed zones. This includes altering the biome, teleporting areas, trapping an area, etc.

1.5. Advertisements: No advertising other servers or communities within our servers or platforms.

1.6. Macro Usage: Macros are allowed for minor tasks like Pebble Collection, Bonemealing, etc. Using them to bypass the AFK timer is prohibited.

1.7. Chunkloading: Refer to the Specific Chunkloading Rules below.

1.8. Purchased Benefits: Meant for personal use only. Sharing of purchased benefits with any player is prohibited, regardless of base-sharing associations.

• 1.8.1 Exceptions: Players are permitted to share claims & chunk loads with those they base with.

1.9. Mob Farms: All mob farms MUST have an off switch. Entity cramming farms or those causing excessive lag are disallowed (ensure you have fast enough item collection).

1.10. PvP: PvP is only allowed between consenting parties. Consent MUST be stated in the chat prior to engagement.

1.11. Financial Appeals or Real Money Trading: Players are prohibited from seeking financial aid or engaging in real money trading on our servers. This includes requests for donations, offering in-game items for real money, or promoting personal fundraising efforts.

1.12. Impersonation: Impersonating any user or staff member in the community will result in immediate removal from the servers.

1.13. Don't escalate Problems: If there is a situation occurring on the server, do not get involved. Instead, make a ticket in #get-support and let staff know. Provide any proof of the situation that has occurred. Avoid escalating the issue or getting involved.

2. Discord/Forum Conduct

2.1. Topic Appropriateness: Stick to the designated/relevant channels or forums for specific content/discussions.

2.2. Content Standards: Maintain a family-friendly environment. Avoid explicit, violent, or discriminatory content. (Some swearing is allowed, but with moderation.)

2.3. VC Etiquette: Keep voice channels disruption-free. Refrain from mic spamming or loud noises (including loud Discord entrance noises).

2.4. Channel Integrity: Custom VC names should remain appropriate.

2.5. Pings: Avoid pinging staff for problems/issues unless it is urgent. Always use the ticket system in #get-support.

3. Donator Perk Rules

3.1. Obtainable Items: Only spawn items that are obtainable within survival (Eternal Perk allows for some unobtainable items—speak with staff to confirm).

3.2. Server Performance: Refrain from creating or using items that induce excessive lag.

3.3. Item Distribution: Items created via give item are personal and should not be distributed. This includes using EMC achieved from give item to distribute items from the table, or if the table/condenser was given via give item.

• 3.3.1 Teammate Usage: While players with give item access might create machines or contraptions, teammates are permitted to use such machines or benefit from what they produce. However, this should not provide a game-breaking or altering advantage.

3.4. Warps: Using warps as homes is not allowed. Do not set warps to dimensions or places gated by progression in modpacks (e.g., the Moon, Mars, The End, etc.). This can alter progression and impact other users' gameplay.

3.5. Enchanting: Do not enchant another user’s gear or hand out/sell enchanted gear.

3.6. Nicknames: Ensure nicknames are appropriate. Impersonating another user or staff member will result in an immediate ban.

3.7. Spectator: Do not use spectator mode to teleport to other users, this may result in a ban or removal of the perk from yourself.

4. Chunkloading Rules

4.1. Permitted Methods: Only use the CDU Chunks mod or FTBChunks for chunkloading. Any other methods, mods, or vanilla exploits for chunkloading are strictly prohibited.

4.2. Activity Requirement: Ensure active use of the chunks you're loading. Loading chunks without significant purpose is misuse.

• 4.3. Server Health & Responsibility: Ensure your loaded chunks are optimized for performance. Avoid setups that can cause unnecessary lag. Disruptions caused by a base or setup leading to its removal will not be refunded. Repeated violations may result in bans.

4.4. No Circumvention: Bypassing prescribed chunkloading methods will result in strict consequences.

4.5. Periodic Review: Admins will review loaded chunks for optimization and necessity. Chunks causing server issues will be unloaded, potentially leading to penalties.

4.6. Ask When in Doubt: Consult with the admin team if uncertain about a particular setup or mechanism.

4.7. No Transfers: Chunkloading rights should not be traded, sold, or given away.

• Staff are allowed to remove a setup or mob farm causing lag or not adhering to the rules without a refund.
• Server roles or ranks do not provide exemptions from rules (everyone is held accountable, even staff!).
• Violation of any rules may result in severe penalties, including permanent removal from the community.
• Staff will not disclose the reasons for bans or warnings to anyone other than the user in question.
• If you are banned, muted, or restricted in any capacity, we have no obligation to reverse the action.
• Using alts to circumvent punishments may result in permanent removal from the community.
