Version 1.0.4 (04/06/2021) All rules are created with this server’s mission in mind: to provide players with a safe, community-driven, free-to-play experience while encouraging players to give back to their communities. Intentions and Introductions:
The Clans server is a medieval-themed Factions server with story-based expansions. The server is set in an era of magic and outlawed technology. Technology in this era is limited by law and common Minecraft builds are similarly limited by the server rules. The Great King has outlawed various forms of technology to keep War more humane and the economy intact. These Articles of War, Peace, and Economics are outlined below:
Articles of War, Peace, and Economics:
War: Pistons are not allowed to function in claimed land. The High King has outlawed this function in order to prevent unethical flying TNT machines which would otherwise ravage the land. This functionality is specifically turned off via our plugin settings. As long as there is not a plugin or server bug associated with the action, all other piston functionality is allowed unless it breaks another rule. For example, piston doors outside of claimed land are allowed.
Peace: Clans may freely choose allies, truces, enemies and neutrality in regards to any other Clan. However, no Clan may choose the same for Caelfall. The Great King of Caelfall makes all decisions on peace or war with any and all Clans and does not require the permission of any other Clan in the decision. Clans may break alliances, truces, and neutrality at any time as that is part of the fun of uneasy Clans server politics. Clans can break the enemy delegation at their own risk as well, but clans are typically marked as enemies of each other for a reason.
Economics: Full automation is not allowed in Caelfall or the surrounding lands overseen by His Majesty the Great King to preserve the economy of the Kingdom and its surrounding States. Thus, AFK farms are hereby banned from the Clans Server. The Great King reserves the right to police and amend this policy at any time. Any amends will be published to this forum.
General Server Rules:
AFK: All non-staff players are allowed to AFK at any time and in any location. No AFK farming is allowed except for AFK fishing and Villager-run farms. All players must AFK at their own risk as this server is PvP enabled. Automatic storage systems that are connected to any farms (no matter the type of farm) are prohibited.
Chat: All chat must be kept clean and safe for our younger audiences. Any and all forms of swearing, belittling, degradation, and harassment will not be tolerated on this server. Please show respect towards all players.
Combat: Most, if not all, teleport commands have a 5 second warm-up so that no player can teleport out of combat. The following actions are not allowed: teleporting out of combat without a 5 second warm-up, disconnecting from the server during combat, or leaving the server during combat. This server is PvP-enabled and all ways to unfairly escape combat detract from the fun of combat and are thus against our rules. You may leave the server or teleport any time that you are out of combat and/or in a designated safe zone. All safe zones are marked by the "You cannot PvP here" message.
Alts: Alternate Accounts are not allowed to be on the Clans server in any capacity. This means they are not authorized to be used for power boosting, espionage, or otherwise. Alt rules are server-specific, so please check with each server rulebook before using an alternate account on any F2PMC sub-server.
Griefing & PvP:
Griefing - TNT and other explosions may only be used as a utility for targeted breaches of the protections of a clan's base and for targeted breaches of chests in order to loot key resources. Players are not allowed to grief the general landscape of the world.
The Clans server is also subject to all Server-Wide rules. If there are conflicting rules, the Clans server rule will override the general rule.
