    • Barrier blocks
    • Any spawn eggs
    • Mace
    • Netherite anything
• Zero Tolerance Hate Policy. No slurs or hate speech of any kind, period. Context or “reclamation” does not exempt you.
• No Mic Spam. Excessive sound effects, music, or loud microphone use is prohibited.
• No Enchanted or Netherite Items. Enchantments for combat gear and Netherite gear are banned unless used for specific, staff-approved events.
• No Meta-Gaming. In-game actions must be based on in-game knowledge, not OOC info.
• No Unauthorized Teleportation. Any teleportation done without the full agreement of both sides is not allowed, use TPA.
• No Creative/Spectator Abuse. Items or intel obtained in Creative or Spectator mode may never be used in a way that would affect in-game gameplay.
• No Metagaming. Information gathered out of RP cannot be used in RP.
• No RDM/KOS (Random Deathmatch / Kill on Sight).
  • You may not kill a player without proper RP or justification outside of staff-marked PvP zones.
  • Civilians may never be killed unless actively participating in combat.
  • All combat must be initiated with clear intent or RP setup (e.g. threats, warnings, conflict escalation).

• Teleportation & Glitches. Ender Pearls, Chorus Fruit, pearl stasis chambers, or any exploit to phase through barriers is banned.
• Command Use.
  • Forbidden: /kill, /damage, /fill spamming to simulate unbreakable walls.
• Unbreakable Block Ban. Bedrock, Barrier, Border, Deny, Allow, End Portal Frame, Command Block (beyond map functionality), Structure Block (beyond map functionality) are disallowed in combat zones unless necessary for vehicle functionality.
• TP/TPA only from designated redeployment zones, battlefield use is banned.
• Mode Restrictions.
  • No Creative or Spectator in active combat or for scouting.
• Offline Raids. Attacking bases or territories while defenders are offline is prohibited.

• Civilian Definition. Players not enlisted in a military or militia are considered civilians. If a player takes up arms or joins in combat, they lose civilian protection.
• Safe Zones.
  • Civilian bunkers, towns, trade hubs, and declared neutral zones are off-limits to all forms of combat.
  • These areas will be clearly marked and maintained by staff.
• No Hostage Abuse. Civilians may not be used as shields, hostages, or bargaining tools. Violations incur immediate sanctions.
• Civilians in War Zones. Civilians entering active combat zones do so at their own risk but may not be intentionally targeted unless clearly combatant.

• Neutral Approval Required
  • Any formal invasion (cross-border attack, siege, occupation) must be reviewed and signed off by a staff member not allied with either side of the conflict.
  • Requesters submit an “Invasion Dossier” in Discord or via contacting a staff member with /report, including:
    • Proposed start date & duration
    • Objectives & strategic rationale
    • Estimated forces & resources
• Reasonableness Criteria
  • Must target a declared enemy nation, not civilians or non-combatants.
  • Must have in-game justification (e.g., treaty breach, resource denial).
  • Must respect current ceasefires and no-raid windows.
• Public Announcement
  • Once approved, staff will announce in #server-announcements at least 24 hours before launch, including:
    • Invading nation & target
    • Start time (with timezone)
    • Brief rationale
• Unauthorized Action
  • Any unapproved invasion counts as rogue aggression:
    • Instant rollback of builds & loot if doable
    • Confiscation of war machines
    • Potential ban or suspension

• PvP Zones.
  • Staff may designate specific regions as “PvP Zones” where combat is always permitted. Outside of these zones, standard RP combat rules apply.
  • Zones must be clearly marked and announced.
• War Windows.
  • Wars may only occur during scheduled timeframes approved by staff. These timeframes will be announced in advance.
  • Outside of war windows, hostile actions must be paused, and ceasefires are in effect.
• Event States.
  • The world state may shift between “Peacetime” and “Wartime.” Wartime enables looser rules (e.g. KOS in war zones), while Peacetime strictly enforces RP and protection.

• Creations must simulate a downward acceleration ≥ 0.08 blocks/tick while in the air.

• Speed Cap: /tp or /execute teleport ≤ 5 blocks/tick on each axis (Upwards TP > 3 blocks/tick is banned, use common sense, exemptions may be handed out by High-Command).
• Bounding Box Rule: Only entities/items already inside your build’s bounding box may be teleported.

• Projectiles must either be stored inside a storage bay, or be able to be placed down.
• Restrictions: No ad-hoc summons outside these bays; passive mobs/items summons are banned unless explosion-related.

• Radius Limits:
  • Aircraft offense/defense: ≤ 300 blocks
  • Anti-air: ≤ 1 000 blocks
  • Ground vehicles: ≤ 200 blocks
  • Projectiles: ≤ 50 blocks, or radius of the firing agent (unless manually guided)
• Damage Method: Only explosions—no /kill or /damage.
  

• Gravity & Movement: Gravity rules apply; TP ≤ 5 blocks/tick.
• Command Whitelist: /tp, /summon (primed explosives only), /execute. All others banned.
• Must follow gravity guidelines
• Must not teleport/move more than 5 blocks
• Must not use commands other than /tp, summon (for exploding), or /execute (for targeting)
• Must not move through blocks
• Must use summon for explosions only
• must only summon explosions at the projectile; don’t summon explosives on a player, only on the projectile

Enforcement & Penalties: All rule violations are subject to immediate staff review, build rollback, confiscation of offending items/mechanics, and potential suspension or ban without warning.
