Don't cheat
No client, mod, or bot that gives you an advantage. X-ray, world-download-as-xray, kill aura, fly, auto-totem, that whole pile. Wars are player business. Cheating is not.

Rules
Don't melt the server
Lag machines get removed, then you get removed. Farms are fine. Intentionally wrecking TPS is not play.
Chat is not moderated
Even spam is allowed. Mute people yourself if you need to. The rest of survival law is whatever you can live with.
Clients and mods
Vanilla Java, Fabric, Forge, and Quilt are fine. Performance and quality-of-life mods that do not reveal hidden blocks or fight for you are fine.
Pie-ray is allowed. The F3 pie chart / debug pie that shows tile entities is not treated as x-ray here.
Other x-ray is not. Ore resource packs, cave-finder mods, ESP, and anything else that looks through stone for you will get you banned. If it looks like x-ray, we treat it as x-ray.
If you are not sure about a client, ask in Discord before you install it.
What we are not
We are not a creative-build showcase with land claims. We are not a reset-every-season SMP. Griefing and stealing are part of the game here.
