[Rules] All The Mods 6

[3XJ]

Community Rules:
These rules apply to every server. Server specific rules are further down.

1. No Hacked Clients:

Spoiler

What is considered a hacked client?
A hacked client is a modified game client that gives the user an unfair advantage when compared to the regular server experience.
These modifications include, but are not limited to: fly hacks, kill auras, wallhacks, speed modifications of any type, nofall, chest finders, vanish, etc.
This does not mean that you can't use any mods that are not present in the modpack itself. Mods like Optifine, JourneyMap or Schematica do offer an advantage over those who don't use these mods, but we consider them part of the regular server experience.

Punishments:
- 1st offence = 7 days ban
- 2nd offence = 14 days ban
- 3rd offence = 28 days ban
- 4th+ offence = 60 days ban

WARNING: Any usage of a hacked client resulting in the loss of the legitimacy of your belongings will result in their destruction, including your inventory and base.

2. No Abusing Bugs / Exploits:

Spoiler

Abusing bugs / exploits in order to gain an unfair advantage makes the game less fun for everyone. Bugs / Exploits include but are not limited to: bypassing claim protection, duping, etc.
We do our best to fix as many bugs as we can, the reality is that we cannot fix everything. Explaining a bug / exploit to other players is considered abusing that bug and falls under this rule.

What if I find a bug / exploit by accident?
Finding a bug and abusing a bug are two different things. If you refrain from using the bug to your advantage and immediately report it to staff, you will not be punished. When reporting the bug make sure to contact staff privately, either through in game chat (/msg or /helpop) or by sending them a direct message on discord.

Punishments:
- 1st offence = 2 days ban
- 2nd offence = 7 days ban
- 3rd offence = 14 days ban
- 4th+ offence = 28 days ban

WARNING: Any bug abuse resulting in the loss of the legitimacy of your belongings will result in their destruction, including your inventory and base.
