Dear Minecraft player thank you for your interest in our server rules. United Factions appreciates your effort and time to read through the rules and guidelines.
All rules are here to aid and help you, the player to have a fun and fair time on our Minecraft Server.
Reporting Rule Breaking Player(s)
If you believe someone is breaking the rules below, you may use the in-game command /report to report a player who is breaking the rules in your opinion. The full syntax is /report [name] [reason] So for example, Notch is cheating with a hacked client, type /report Notch hacking 1. Keep United Factions Friendly and Neat
- Be mature players. This server is meant to be drama free. Any players that participate in bullying, using vulgar language, word-sniping or other forms of bullying will be warned, kicked or if required result in a ban.
- We are not in the habit of policing the chat, but some words and sentiments have no place in conversation other than to discriminate or inflame. Be and stay respectful towards other players. Those intent on creating a toxic environment will be banned of our server.
- English only, please. Including all chat channels and private messages. While we celebrate as many different cultures our server represents, it's impossible to manage the chat, and investigate reports if the language used by players is not English. Even if you have to swear because a creeper has killed you while being AFK, do it in English, please.
- Try not to be rude to other players.
- Do not use inappropriate character skins.
- Do not advertise or mention other servers.
2. General Faction Rules
- Threat other players fairly in factions. Do not engage in scams, and do not use the Factions plugin to ridicule or make them feel miserable.
- Do not use cheats, game-breaking glitches, hacks, or modified clients to your advantage. Some mods are allowed, always double-check with staff before using one.
- The use of Autoclickers, Macros, Hacks, Bots and / or Modified Clients is not allowed. This includes mods and tweaks that give an unfair advantage in Survival or PVP. This rule also covers using afk-grinders for MCMMO.
- Anything that is seen to cause lag on the server is not allowed and will be removed by staff. If you are uncertain, ask a member of staff.
- Do not break Minecraft Mechanics through plugin usage.
- Do not construct cobble monsters or offensive structures. You may use dirt pillars to help you raid. Do not create Faction land or portal traps that a player cannot escape from.
- Try and remove claims around and enclosed by other's faction territory that served for raiding. Do not keep claims just to make it impossible to rebuild.
- Try to avoid raiding newly established factions. Give them time to settle and get established on the server to be able to fight back.
- The use of alt accounts to gain extra faction power, have more claims, or so on is prohibited. If you are reported about this we will investigate the report and come to our conclusions.
- Raiding is to acquire loot or to gain an advantage over other factions. It is not simply for causing mayhem and destroying other people's hard work for the pure fun of it. Raid what's necessary for your goal and don't simply leave behind a crater of what once was. If a raid is so disproportional, an admin can be contacted to revert the damage, excluding ofcourse, containers.
3. No Hacking, Cheating, Exploiting or Abusing the Server
- Do not use any mods, macros or game bugs that give a significant advantage over other players. This includes, but is not limited to, any aspect that allows:
- x-ray vision
- cave finder
- radar
- block glitches
- allowing you to move in a way not intended by the default game settings
- Kill auras, fast-clicking, etc are NOT allowed.
- Even if it's a server-side or Mojang-side bug, do not abuse it, stop and report the issue immediately to a member of staff.
- Do not abuse the server resources. We are a multiplayer server and you are not the only one online. Do not attempt to crash the server or create intense lag-generating events or machines.
