Here are the general rules of DreamCraft. Note that these rules apply to any and all maps that do, and may exist now or in the future. They apply not only to our DreamCraft server, but to all of our servers unless otherwise stated.

============================================================


1) NO griefing! Griefing is placing or breaking blocks to deliberately deface someone's build or to steal materials.
You should only place/break blocks if:
-You own the build.
-You have permission from the build's owner.
-You are building in agreement with friends.
-It is part of the natural terrain.
-You are not allowed to grief "abandoned" structures.
-You are not allowed to raid for materials.
-You are not allowed to grief as a joke.
-You are not allowed to grief in revenge.
-You are allowed to do anything in the nether, it's free game! Careful down there!

Second Offense: 2 day temporary ban.
Third Offense: 4 day temporary ban.

2) NO spamming! It clogs up chat and is extremely annoying. Nobody likes a spammer.
This includes:

3) NO unsanctioned PVP. This means that both you and the person you are fighting MUST agree to fight.
This means that:
-Both you and the person say in chat that you will fight.
-PVP areas MUST have notices that players are in a PVP area, otherwise it is still unsanctioned PVP.
-PVP areas that have these notices are considered sanctioned PVP areas by default.
-You are not allowed to kill somebody as a joke or prank.

Second Offense: 2 day temporary ban.

-Telling staff how to do their job.

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning.
Second Offense: 10 minute temporary mute.
Third Offense: 1 hour temporary mute.
Further Offenses: 1 day temporary ban.


6) NO advertising. It is highly disrespectful to the server, its players, and yourself. We're all here to play on Dreamcraft!
This includes:
-Giving out the IP to another survival server.
-PMing/Mailing IP addresses to other players.
-Spamming chat with IP addresses.
-Repeatedly talking about your own server. You may stay to get ideas for your server, but do not say things like "My server SERVERNAME.COM does this!"
-IN PRIVATE CHAT, YOU MAY share IP addresses of the following types of servers for the purpose of playing with friends or arranging events:
Jail Break servers.
Minigame-type servers.
Well-known Hub-type servers, e.g. Shotbow Network.

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning and/or 10 minute temporary mute, depending on severity of offense.
Second Offense: Ban, can appeal.

7) NO cheating! If it seems game-breaking or shouldn't be allowed, it's probably cheating!
You are not allowed to use:
-Hacked and/or griefing clients.
-Xray mods/texture packs.
-Glitch/bug exploits. Report these to staff! If you're found exploiting things without notifying staff, you may get banned.
-AFK pools. This server kicks inactive players to clear space and save resources. Do not be selfish.

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning.
Second Offense: Ban, can not be appealed.

8) NO lag machines! These types of builds put a huge strain on the server and causes latency for other players. This is highly untolerable.
Lag machines include:
-Putting many mobs in a small area (e.g. more than 5 mobs per 1x1 area)
-Creating an always-on redstone machine

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning, removal of lag machine.
Second Offense: 1 day temporary ban, removal of lag machine.
Third Offense: 2 day temporary ban, removal of lag machine.
Further Offenses: 4 day temporary ban, removal of lag machine.

9) NO trolling! Trolling can create an unpleasant atmosphere and often results in arguments.
Trolling includes:
-Trapping people by building around them.
-Throwing potions at people to impair their ability to play, e.g. blinding or poison.
-Harassing players(see rule 4).
-YOU MAY prank friends and have fun that way, but be aware that if more people and/or staff gets involved, it will be stopped.

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning or 20 minutes in /jail, depending on severity of offense.
Second Offense: 2 day temporary ban.
Third Offense: 4 day temporary ban.
Fourth Offense: Ban, can appeal.
Fifth Offense: Ban, can not be appealed.


10) NO obscene content. We ask everyone to act with maturity and recognize that there are players of all ages on Dreamcraft. Please keep things PG-13 in game.
This includes:
-No profane/offensive language. Lighter swear words are generally fine. If someone asks you to stop using a certain word, then stop.
-No profane/offensive pet names. The pet with one of these names will be killed when seen, and a warning will be sent.
-No obscene/offensive player skins. You will be asked to change your skin if it is found to be obscene/offensive.
-No obscene/offensive structures. The structure may be removed and a warning will be sent.

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning, 10 minute temporary mute, and/or 1 hour temporary ban, depending on severity of offense.
Second Offense: 2 day temporary ban.
Third Offense: Ban, can appeal.
Fourth Offense: Ban, can not be appealed.


11) BE respectful! Dreamcraft is nothing without its respectful community. Treat others the way you want to be treated! We expect everyone to show some level of respect to everyone else.
This includes:
-Do not direct a swear at any other player.
-Do not insult other players.
-Do not attempt to seek revenge, message staff and they will help you.
-Respect others' opinions. If you disagree, don't make it an argument. If you cannot discuss it in a civil manner, then walk away.
-Do not harass staff. Their job is very stressful and give up their free time to do the job. They are humans too and may not always do the job perfectly. If you have complaints of staff, message LostUser or an SMod(yellow name).
-Do not beg for blocks or items. Work for them!

Punishments:
First Offense: Warning, and/or 20 minute jail/mute, depending on severity of offense.

12) Make sure everyone playing on your account knows Dreamcraft's rules. If a rule is broken on your account, you will be punished for it, regardless if it was you or a sibling.

Punishments:
Depends on rule broken.
