F2PMC - Survival Rulebook

Version 1.1.0 (07/11/2021)

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.

These rules are in addition to the server-wide rules which can be found here.

Survival-Specific Rules

Cheats: The cheats category covers all rules regarding breaking intended game mechanics or providing players with unfair advantages.

1. Clients & Hacks:

   1. Non-Vanilla Clients - All non-vanilla Minecraft clients are prohibited unless otherwise specified.

   2. Optifine - Optifine is the only non-vanilla Minecraft client allowed on this server. Zoom functionality, shaders, capes, and other Optifine features through the Optifine client are thus also allowed unless otherwise specified.

   3. Schematica - Schematica is generally allowed on all servers at this time. Exceptions will be in cases where player builds are entered into competitions or part of a minigame.

   4. Hacking - Hacks to include (but not limited to) flying, kill-auras, x-ray, and movement-enhancements are prohibited

2. Autoclickers & Macros:

   1. Autoclicking - Autoclicking is prohibited. Autoclicking will be defined by the speed at which the player character is clicking or otherwise performing seemingly automated actions. Remapped keys with the use of F3+T is still authorized as it currently cannot be distinguished from faster forms of autoclicking.

   2. Macros - Using macros to perform actions faster that other players or in an automated way is prohibited. This includes (but is not limited to) using a macro to quickly empty a player inventory into a chest and automatically typing and/or sending scripted messages.

3. Exploits:

   1. Bug Exploits - All bugs should be reported as soon as they are found. Any bugged or exploited items, commands, permissions, etc must be immediately forfeited to a staff member. You will not be in trouble for finding a bug, only if you are found to have not reported it or found to be exploiting it.

   2. Game Mechanic Exploits - Exploiting game mechanics is prohibited. If something seems OP, then it is likely an exploit. This includes unintended game mechanics and unintended consequences of game mechanics. This rule prohibits ALL duplication glitches!

4. Bots:

   1. Bot Relogging - Using bots or macros to relog a player or alt into a server after a reboot is not allowed.

Gameplay

1. AFK & Automation:

   1. AFK - Being AFK is allowed in Survival. This does include AFK fishing. This does not include AFK mining at a cobble generator and AFK mob grinding.

2. Griefing & PvP:

   1. Griefing - Griefing is never allowed in Survival and is punishable with a permanent ban from this server.

   2. PvP - Killing of other players outside of PvP areas is prohibited. Using game mechanics to damage players in non-PvP areas is not allowed against AFK or online players.

All servers are subject to the Server-Wide rules as well as their own set of server-specific rules. Please read the Server-Wide rules periodically to stay informed!
