Massive Rules

This page serves as an extension with descriptions and examples of the main rules on the MassiveCraft Website Rules.

Rules related to Lag

• Do not build large redstone contraptions or mob farms. These may be removed by staff without warning.
• Do not build item sorters.
• Do not build constantly pulsing redstone circuits or flying machines.
• Do not move mobs or items with water, carts, or pistons.
• Create a MassiveTicket to preclear a build with staff.
• Mobs will automatically despawn when more than 50 of the same type are grouped.

Rules related to Building

• Do not build overly non-medieval, offensive, box-like-structures, or equally uncreative builds.
• Do not build a large, unraidable structure to house several smaller builds above ground.
• Do not build visually unappealing floating builds.
• Create a MassiveTicket with /ti c (message) if you’re unsure if your build is acceptable.
• Raid bases are not allowed.

Rules related to Raiding and Sieging

• Do not invite a player to a faction then kick and kill said player.
• Do not raid a faction under 30 days old for more than a 3 hour block per week. Raid week resets on Sunday during regular server restart.
• Do not have a faction claim that cannot be sieged by having less than half of its borders with direct contact to Wilderness.
• Do not feed (i.e. dying unnaturally often) during a Siege, causing the enemy score to inflate.
• Do not use a faction claimed raid base (i.e. safehouse, portal location, supply depot) near an enemy faction or Siege zone. Any claim older than 2 weeks is exempted from this rule.

Rules related to Alternate Accounts

• A main account is defined as the account which a player spends the most time on the server and is used as the name when referring to a particular player.​
• An alternate account (alt-account or alt for short) is an account which has been used to log into the server by the same player using a main account in the last 30 days.​
• An alt-faction is defined as a faction being led by an alt account.​
• Do not use Alts to artificially increase mob spawns in your area.
• Do not use Alts to spy on enemy factions, steal items, gain access, or perform actions you would not be able to on your main account.
• Do not use Alts to avoid Server Punishments. This will result of re-instatement of the original punishment length or longer depending on severity.
• Do not use Alts to spam rewards from Quests or other free item systems.
• Alt-Account in Factions Rules:

• A single player can hold up to 3 factions maximum (one main and two alt-factions).
• The maximum number of alt-accounts a faction may have at any given time is 6. Exceeding this will result in the alt-accounts being banned and land unclaimed.
• The number of alt-accounts in a faction may not exceed twice the number of main accounts at any given time (2 alts per main with a maximum of 6 alts total).
• Alt-accounts in a faction must have a title designating them as an alt.

Rules related to Traps

• Do not create traps that one cannot be removed from, such as a room that keeps you constantly moving or prevents you from typing.
• Any trap that involves a portal must include 2 visible portal blocks on the entrance, unobstructed from both sides.
• Excessive portal traps around a build are not permitted.
• A trap is defined as an enclosure in which a player cannot freely exit.

Rules related to Markets

• Owning a market shop without any chest shops inside is not permitted.
• Players are only allowed 1 shop. Any alt shops will be swiftly removed with no refunds.​
• No beds, end portals, nether portals, item frames or excessive use of banners or armor stands, etc. as this will help with reducing lag.​
• Shops will need at least 1 stocked shop lock inside the market region from the Shop owner.
• Any chest in the market that is not stocked with items for more than 1 week is at liberty to be removed by staff.
• Do not use Glow Ink Sacs on signs in the market. These cause FPS drops for everyone that turns towards their direction.
• The owner of a shop breaking a rule will be mailed. If the shop has not been fixed within 1 week, the shop will be forcefully unrented without refund.

Rules related to Griefing

• In unclaimed land, you may break any and all blocks, but you may not perform excessive ugly griefing by placing blocks (ex: lava casts, inappropriate signs).
• In claimed land belonging to a player who has not specifically granted your account permission via faction perms, you may not break any blocks, with the exception of a small hole (typically 2x1) if necessary to enter.
• Do not build large ugly structures near another player's claimed land.
• A Faction Owner has the right to demolish or alter any builds in their own Faction.

Rules related to Glitches, Bugs, & Mechanics

• Do not abuse glitches. Examples include stair glitching, enderpearl glitching, block-glitching, and door-hitting. Rectify accidental glitching by discontinuing any advances.
• Do not abuse plugin mechanics. Examples include locking every block of a build, using hoppers to steal from locked chests, or frequently altering your /ignore list.
• Do not abuse bugs. Please report any bugs here.
• Taking world downloads of an area for the purpose of locating portals, hidden contraptions, or other valuables is not permitted.
• Enderpearl stasis tubes are not allowed.
• Leveling MCMMO stats via abusing a mechanic or AFK grinding MCMMO will result in the stat being reset.
• Severe cases of abuse will result in bans.

Rules related to Client Modifications
