Cheating and exploiting
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Swearing, racism and typical inappropriate words of all languages are also forbidden from faction tags and descriptions.
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.
