Cheating and exploiting
  • We have a zero tolerance policy on any modded .jars or texture packs that affect the servers game play.
Any mod that will give you an advantage over another player in any situation is NOT allowed. This includes mods that aid you in PvP, mods like X-ray that help you to find ore, hidden bases, monster spawners or strongholds, mods that show player locations and ANY other non-approved mod.

Using an X-ray texture pack is also not allowed, this isn’t how minecraft is meant to be played on aggression.

Please use common sense, something like using the map seed to find a stronghold is NOT allowed. Before you do something that you think may break a rule, contact an admin or mod before you do it, you are responsible for your actions.

Here is an approved list of mods you can use <link>

If you feel a mod could be added please contact an admin to see if it can be added to the approved list, please make sure all of your client mods are approved before you play.
  • We forbid any 3rd party programs that give you an advantage over other players.
Using any 3rd party programs that give you an advantage over other players isn’t allowed, this includes programs like autoclickers to click faster than humanly possible.

If you need to use a 3rd party program for any reason, please do not be put off, just contact one of the BoN staff members.
  • Do not abuse plugins.
Doing something to bypass or get around a plugin protection is against the rules. Using a plugin to exploit is against the rules.

Shooting arrows at other players from spawn by sneaking over the edge into warzone is plugin abuse.
Block jumping in a protected area to jump higher than you should be able to is plugin abuse.
Using falsebook to remove protected blocks is plugin abuse.
Pouring lava or water in wilderness with the intent to make it flow onto someone’s faction land is plugin abuse.

These aren’t the only ways to abuse plugins, they’re only examples.

As with anything, if you’re not sure contact a mod or an admin.

Note: Tricking players into editing their faction permission so you can destroy/place blocks on their land isn’t plugin abuse, your faction permissions are your own responsibility.
  • Anything that is not intended within normal Minecraft game play is not acceptable.
There will always be various bugs in Minecraft that can be used for an advantage or in a way that isn’t intended within normal game play. It is completely against the rules to exploit them, this includes things like duping items or using boats to glitch through walls.

If you find an exploit you should tell a mod or an admin right away, you are not to abuse it and then later claim you didn’t know. Abusing an exploit is against the rules, weather it’s a known exploit or not.

This is also true with using lag to your advantage. Like using lag to access a chest you shouldn’t be able to reach otherwise by breaking blocks that should reappear instantly or block jumping in a protected area.

Game play
  • Do not spawn kill excessively while raiding a faction.
When raiding an enemy faction base you’ll often end up in a situation where you find the spawn point of the enemy faction. Because this is a PvP server we have nothing against you enjoying killing the players repeatedly as they spawn.

What we ask of you is to not do it an insane amount. It is NOT okay to camp someone's faction home for hours on end for the sole purpose of causing grief to the players. It is fine to kill the players at their home as much as you want as you raid their base.

This does NOT mean that if you are being raided you can ask an admin and get the people raiding in trouble, if you repeatedly press spawn it is your own fault for being killed. When you get raided you can either keep spawning and being killed or you can go and get a drink and wait it out until back up arrives or until the people raiding are done.
  • Do not build unnecessary circuits containing; Redstone, Repeaters, Pistons and Torches.
Do not build a large circuit or machine that will cause lag. This only really only the case when associated with a pulsing effect. The circuit will be destroyed without warning and punishment to the creator(s). Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean your piston door or trap will be removed, it means large lag causing circuits and machines will be removed.
  • Do not farm mobs when they can’t fight back.
You are allowed to farm mob spawners and darkrooms as long as you are actively running around with the mobs and you can be hit and killed by them. The mobs MUST be able to hit and kill you as you are doing the same to them. You may not hurt the mobs by any other means than actually fighting them, the mobs can’t be pushed or moved by anything like water. The room must simply be a small dark room that you enter and fight monsters in. Please, also light these rooms up if you’re not using them.
  • Griefing the environment is not allowed.
Griefing the environment is against the rules. You should not ruin the landscape for no reason, for example, don’t pour lava down a hill randomly, don’t place cobble everywhere in the wilderness for no reason. These things are against the rules and if you do them you will be punished.

Note: You’re allowed to claim a base and grief the hell out of it, just don’t grief random areas for no reason. If you’re fighting someone in wilderness you can place lava to kill them, don’t be put off. Just use common sense.

Chat
  • Do not excessively use caps.
Excessive caps spamming isn’t allowed on aggression. While playing, a ‘COME AT ME BRO’ or something along the lines isn’t bad at all, but leaving the caps key on while you rage or talk is not allowed.
  • Advertising is not allowed unless approved by an admin beforehand.
This means any form of advertising. This includes sending an IP to one of your friends through a PM. If you want to share a server with someone you should contact an admin about it and get it approved.
  • Hacking reports are to be done on the forum, or in private to a Moderator.
Do not complain in chat about a hacker, simply contact a mod or admin about it through PM or report it on the forum. Provide proof if you’re going to make a post on the forum about something.
  • Do not talk back to or insult a staff member.
Do not insult or abuse a staff member for any reason under any circumstance. Use common sense to see when it’s a joke between you and a staff member and when it’s gone too far. You are responsible for your actions, do not use ‘it was a joke’ as an excuse, staff members will know when you’re joking and when you’re being abusive.

If you are punished by someone do not get angry and abuse them. You’re completely allowed to give your side of the story but do not be aggressive while doing so.
  • Do not ask for promotion, to be an operator or for item bonuses.
Do not ask for any of these things in game.

If you think someone should be promoted you can nominate them in the nomination section of the forums. If you would like to apply for Moderator do it on the correct section of the forum.
  • English is the only permitted language within Global Chat.
In global chat you may only use English. In private messages, ally chat and faction chat you may use any other language.
  • Do not use offensive language excessively
We are tolerant of light insults, but anything that is constant and/or offensive will result in punishment. Be respectful to other players even if you don’t like them.

Swearing, racism and typical inappropriate words of all languages are also forbidden from faction tags and descriptions.
  • Don't spam.
This rule is obvious, do not spam in the chat.

Also, don’t excessively type many messages where you could have just put it into one message. A few times is okay however, we don’t want to be unfair.
  • We encourage any questions to be asked freely in chat before consulting a Moderator or Admin
Remember, other players can help you too and you don’t have to contact Mods or Admins right away. There are also guides on the forums on how to use plugins and other things, be sure to check them out too.

General
  • Any actions performed by an account will be held accountable to said account.
If an account is banned/jailed/punished for any reason then the punishment will be tied to the account, regardless of who was using the account at the time. Your login information is your responsibility as is your account and the actions performed on it, regardless of who performed them.
  • Using multiple accounts to evade punishments is not permitted.
If you are punished on one account, you may not login with another to evade the punishment.
  • Complaints against a staff member should only take place on the forum via private message to The_Noodle.
If you have a complaint about a staff member please talk to Noodle directly about it, do not complain in game or make forum posts to complain about staff members.
  • Using ‘Public accounts’ to gain money, power or any other type of advantage is not allowed and you will be held accountable.
Using alts that anyone can access to give yourself any form of advantage is not allowed. Refrain from using them on this server at all.

Up until today you couldn't tell who stole from you. The only thing I did was logblocked stolen things and told you if it was legitimate or not.

Now what I'm going to do is if something has been stolen from you (something significant that you can name) and I can see it, for 5k paid to me I will tell you who took it from you. (If it was unlegit you will obviously not have to pay.)

For example, you have your prized musicplayerthing and it's stolen from your chest, you can pay me 5k to tell you who took the box from the chest.

This will hopefully promote PvP as people will be able to know who is stealing and stuff, but it won't be instant so you can still steal from people, if you feel this is a shitty addition please reply here.

Also: Using shops to protect your chests from being raided is against the rules, you can only create shops in the land you have purchased in the bazaar.
