==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.


==Respect the server’s Build identity==
==Rules related to Alternate Accounts==
*Do not build modern structures.
* 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.​
*Do not build massive cobblestone walls or boxes.
* 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.​
*There are no rules on what not to build underground.
* An '''alt-faction''' is defined as a faction being led by an alt account.​
*Keep your builds with a medieval or historical tone.  
* Do not use Alts to artificially increase mob spawns in your area.
*All builds must be properly supported. No magical floating cities in air or on water.
* 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.
*It is not illegal to make an unraidable base, as long as the base does not have a giant cobble or glass roof. Everything must look medieval and realistic to a degree.
* 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.


==Play fair and keep the game fun for everyone==
==Rules related to Traps==
*Do not troll players while raiding them. This includes disrupting roleplay if your enemies are role playing inside a building and you cannot reach them to attack them, so you resort to spamming chat to disrupt it.  
* Do not create traps that one cannot be removed from, such as a room that keeps you constantly moving or prevents you from typing.  
*Do not raid for too long. We find a raid lasting anywhere between an hour and three hours is long enough. Staff members reserve the right to end a raid and both factions must comply.
* Any trap that involves a portal must include 2 visible portal blocks on the entrance, unobstructed from both sides.  
*Do not repeatedly raid a faction that has already been raided for a considerable period that same day. Staff members may ask raiders to back off from a faction that has already suffered numerous raids on the same day.
* Excessive portal traps around a build are not permitted.
*Respect raiders when they raid you. Do not taunt or troll them. Do not abuse game mechanics or plugins to try and taunt them into glitching or breaking the rules.
* A trap is defined as an enclosure in which a player cannot freely exit.
*On the use of Alternate accounts: Alternate accounts may be used to increase land power and store items. Alternate accounts may own factions, own houses in Regalia etc. Alt accounts may not be used to spy on enemy factions in any way. Generally when engaging in “roguelike” or “bandit” behavior, you must use your main account. This also includes betraying your faction, stealing etc. You may not own multiple shops in the /warp market world. One shop per person covering all Alt-Accounts. Violation of this rule will lead to revokal of both shops without a refund. Alternate accounts may not however be used to gain access to the server following your main account being banned, doing so will result in the alternate account also being denied access to the server until they have appealed their ban.


==Respect the conduct of Warfare==
==Rules related to Markets==
*The server does not see a difference between Raid or War. When you /enemy someone, the server sees it as a war.
* Owning a market shop without any chest shops inside is not permitted.  
*The term “Max Tribute” is defined as the total number of faction members of the smallest faction multiplied by 50 plus 300. So if between two sides, the smallest faction has 10 members, the Max Tribute is (10*50)+300=800 Regals. This Max Tribute can be paid by either side to end the conflict immediately. Both sides must then /truce each other for at least 30 days.  
* Players are only allowed 1 shop. Any alt shops will be swiftly removed with no refunds.​
*The 30 days truce is enforced by staff. Only the surrendering faction may break the truce. If the winning side breaks the truce illegally, the staff may sanction a faction disallowing them to /enemy anyone.
* No beds, end portals, nether portals, item frames or excessive use of banners or armor stands, etc. as this will help with reducing lag.​
*Abusing faction hopping, game mechanics to harm others in truce or alt factions to continue a conflict will result in sanctions.
* Shops will need at least 1 stocked shop lock inside the market region from the Shop owner.
*Max Tribute is only between two factions. Allies are not included unless the peace treaty specifies this.
* Any chest in the market that is not stocked with items for more than 1 week is at liberty to be removed by staff.
*The Max Tribute is a simple way to end a conflict. Factions are however free to dictate whatever terms they would like or offer. Negotiations can result in other ends to a conflict, though this is up to the scrutiny of the players. Always know that the Max Tribute is available if negotiations break down to force an end to the war.  
* Do not use Glow Ink Sacs on signs in the market. These cause FPS drops for everyone that turns towards their direction.  
*Raiding merely for the sake of fun is permitted. However, you should always be aware of the Max Tribute and be ready to accept it, if it is offered.
* 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.
*If at any point in the ongoings of war either side uses alt accounts to increase or decrease tribute, gain unfair advantages, or go out of their way to harass any side, report it on the forums.

==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.


==Do not grief others, verbally or physically==
==Rules related to Glitches, Bugs, & Mechanics==
*Breaking blocks to gain entry into a build is not grief, as long as the hole is small.
* Do not abuse glitches. Examples include stair glitching, enderpearl glitching, block-glitching, and door-hitting. Rectify accidental glitching by discontinuing any advances.
*Killing animals and taking/destroying crops is never griefing.
* 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.
*Making large dirt/cobble pillars to jump over enemy walls without removing them yourself after use is griefing.
* Do not abuse bugs. Please [https://www.google.com/url?q=https://forums.massivecraft.com/forums/bug-reports.57/&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1635303268787000&usg=AOvVaw3h-JtIorUIR4nEk1FXDqi4 report any bugs here].
*You may dismantle unclaimed buildings in whatever capacity you deem necessary. We ask players nicely not to purely destroy a building and then leave it like a crater, but to clean it up nicely if they want to harvest it for resources. This is however just a guideline.  
* Taking world downloads of an area for the purpose of locating portals, hidden contraptions, or other valuables is not permitted.
*A faction owner can never grief inside their own faction. If a faction owner decides that your building in their claim needs to be torn down, this is not griefing.
* Enderpearl stasis tubes are not allowed.
*Pouring lava and water over someone else’s creations with the intent of making it look ugly is always griefing, including in wilderness and faction land. As a general first rule, doing anything to someone else’s build to make it look ugly and to cause the person grief, is illegal.
* Leveling MCMMO stats via abusing a mechanic or AFK grinding MCMMO will result in the stat being reset.
*Making inappropriate phallic or otherwise offensive structures around the world is griefing.
* Severe cases of abuse will result in bans.
*Pouring lava or water down a mountain or tree in the wilderness is world griefing.


==Respect the boundaries of the Chat Channels==
==Rules related to Client Modifications==
*Do not misuse chat channels for something else other than their purpose.
* Do not use client modifications which give you unfair advantages.  
*Do not complain or otherwise accuse others in public chat channels. Report rule breakers, staff violations or cheaters on the forum or through ticket service.  
* Do not use autoclickers, macros, or hardware features which give you unfair advantages. The exception of legal macro use is to activate race ultimate abilities or vampire bloodlust.
*Do not impersonate staff.
* Irregular clicking methods such as butterfly and drag clicking are not allowed.
*Keep public channels clear of political and religious conversation topics. Staff may additionally impose bans on culturally or socially sensitive subjects or controversial events.
* Using an illegal client modification while leveling MCMMO will result in MCMMO stat reset.
*Avoid spamming in chat channels.
* Allowed modifications:
*PVP Chat is not administered as strictly, though profanity, sexism, discrimination based on anything, or plain bullying is still not permitted anywhere.
:* Client performance improvement mods (such as FPS improvement mods).
*Do not advertise other servers. You may link servers to other players if the intent is clear that it is not intended to draw people away from MassiveCraft. Say for example you want to play some survival minigame before returning to Massive, it is legal to post the IP of that server in private message to your friends. Any public posting of server names or ip’s with the intent to draw people away from MassiveCraft is illegal and will result in a permanent ban.
:* Aesthetic modifications (such as shaders mods).
*Do not link non-MassiveCraft related content in any public chat. You may link Minecraft youtube videos, Forum content, or MassiveCraft related links as long as they are not vulgar, profane, pornographic or insulting in content.
:* Armor and Effect Status HUD mods which do not indicate player locations.
*You may link streams as long as they are streaming from MassiveCraft.
:* Brightness and gamma adjustment mods.


==Do not cheat, abuse or otherwise glitch==
==Rules related to Roleplay==
*Never accuse another player of cheating or abuse publicly. Report them on the forum.
* Do not steal, copy, modify or re-use skins (or other content) belonging to other players without their consent.
*Report any suspicious behavior that might allude to cheating.
* Do not disrupt the roleplay of others or force yourself onto others.
*Report any glitches/bugs you find and resist the urge to use them. You will be in more trouble if you are found out afterwards to have used a glitch.
* Do not engage in inappropriate roleplay with minors or in public.
*Not reporting cheating makes you complicit. Report it to avoid punishment.
* Do not break the lore or roleplay as something outside of lore.
*Never use a glitch or cheat or abuse when you have discovered one, report it straight away.
* Do not Metagame, Powergame, or God Roleplay.
*Do not AFK grind or harvest.
* Do not use Minecraft Mechanics to your RP advantage.
*Never use out of game mechanics to gain ingame advantages. We do not count macro or keyboard/mouse functionality, but be prepared to defend yourself if staff suspects you of misbehaving with these. Using dynmap to find players is not illegal. Using x-ray, minimaps or other mechanics of finding players beyond vanilla features is illegal however.  
* For more in-depth Roleplay related Rules, consult the [[Roleplay_Rules|Roleplay Rules]].


==Do not abuse in game mechanics or plugins==
{{MassiveCraft}}
*Anything that causes lag, or is understood to cause lag by staff can and will  be removed.
[[category:Server Information]]
*Do not use any of the plugins to spam messages to other players.
*Do not break Minecraft mechanics through plugin usage or vice versa.
*Do not circumvent implemented plugin or vanilla minecraft features through unintended plugin features. For example, do not use the chairs plugin to break into houses. The chair plugin is intended to allow the player to sit on a staircase block, not to glitch through a wall.
*Do not use flowing water, minecarts, or pistons to funnel or otherwise kill or move mobs around. This causes lag and is unwanted.
*Do not use LWC to protect portals or entire walls/buildings. LWC is used to lock doors, chests, and valuable blocks, not to private entire buildings or keep portals from being broken.
*You may not create a portal that instantly or slowly kills a player. Portals don’t always need to lead to an area where the player has to be able to get out, but the player must always be able to defend themselves and not be doomed to die by simply stepping into the portal. You may also not make hidden portals that people can enter, but not see.
