SteeltonMC Rules and Regulations

---

Respect and Etiquette:

Treat all players and staff with respect, both in chat and in-game interactions.

Avoid offensive language, hate speech, harassment, and inappropriate content.

No trolling, griefing, or intentionally disrupting other players' gameplay.

Building and Environment:

Do not build offensive or inappropriate structures, including offensive symbols and content.

Respect other players' builds and spaces. Obtain permission before modifying or building near others' creations.

Do not excessively deforest, dig, or destroy the environment. Use resources responsibly.

PvP (Player vs. Player) and Raids:

If you have beef with another player, you may kill them to show dominance. Untargeted, repeated killing of players is not permitted.

Chat and Communication:

Use appropriate language in global and local chats. No spamming, excessive capitalization, or flooding.

Do not share personal information or impersonate other players.

Reporting and Staff Interaction:

Report rule violations to the server staff through the appropriate channels.

Follow staff instructions and decisions. Do not argue or backtalk in the case of a dispute.

Server Resources:

Do not excessively use server resources that could affect overall performance.

Farms and redstone contraptions should be designed efficiently to minimize lag.

Content and Builds:

Do not create builds or content that could be considered offensive, inappropriate, or explicit.

Any art or content shared should be suitable for all ages.

Rules Enforcement:

Violations of the rules can result in warnings, progress setback, temporary bans, and permanent bans, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.

The server staff reserves the right to enforce the rules as they see fit.

Cheating and Hacking:

Do not use cheats, hacks, mods, or exploits that provide unfair advantages. This includes but is not limited to:

*X-ray mods or resource packs that allow you to see hidden ores or structures.

*Speed, flight, or teleportation hacks that give you an unfair movement advantage.

*Aimbot or auto-clicker tools that enhance combat abilities.

*Duplication glitches or any form of item or resource duplication.

*Only use client-side mods that are explicitly allowed by the server administration. These mods should not give you an unfair advantage over other players. 

Approved mods might include minimap mods, shaders, and cosmetic enhancements.

Any use of external software or tools to manipulate the game's mechanics is strictly prohibited. This includes automated scripts that perform actions in the game on your behalf.

AFK Behavior:

AFK (Away From Keyboard) farming is not allowed, particularly if it provides an unfair advantage over other players. Do not remain AFK near farms, spawners, or any automated systems that produce resources or items.

Bypassing any anti-AFK systems in order to progress or gain anything in return is strictly prohibited. This includes using devices or methods to simulate player activity while not actively participating in the game. If you are not able to coherently respond to chat and remain attentive, it will be considered illegal, and punishable.

Note: Cheating not only ruins the experience for others but also undermines the integrity of the server. By maintaining a strict policy against cheating and hacking, you'll ensure that all players can enjoy a level playing field and a genuine Minecraft experience.

We want to maintain an environment where players actively engage with the game and its challenges. Discouraging AFK behavior helps ensure that everyone has a chance to enjoy the game on equal terms and prevents any unintended exploitation of automated systems.
