Craft Attack

Craft Attack Server Rules v3.0

Official rules for the open Craft Attack community server operated by Avocloud.net. These rules govern CraftAttack Season 2 — The Ashes of Aerlon on craftattack.avocloud.net.

Core Principle: These rules exist so everyone has fun. When in doubt: respect, fairness, common sense. Ask staff if unsure.

The 10 Rules

1

No Griefing

Don't destroy, damage, or alter other players' builds, farms, Redstone, or claimed areas.

  • Applies to claims AND actively used unclaimed areas
  • Unclaimed pure wilderness may be modified normally
  • Accidental damage? Report immediately and it will be restored
Punishment: Minor (1–5 blocks): 1-day timeout + restoration · Moderate (6–20): 3-day timeout + restoration · Major (21+) / malicious: 7-day ban; repeat → permanent ban
2

No Stealing

No access to chests, inventories, or protected areas without permission.

  • All containers: Chests, Shulkers, Barrels, Hoppers, Dispensers, Furnaces
  • "Borrowing" without permission = theft
  • Auto-Hopper pointed at others' containers = immediate violation
  • Graves are protected (see Rule 6)
Punishment: Low value: 2-day timeout + item return · High value / rare items: 7-day ban; repeat → permanent
3

Respectful Conduct

No insults, discrimination, hate speech, harassment, threats, or doxxing — in-game and on Discord.

  • Zero tolerance: racism, sexism, homo-/transphobia, slurs
  • Repeated contact after "stop" = harassment
  • Trolling RP scenes = harassment
  • Provocation & needling: Deliberately provoking players via comments, comparisons, or challenges (e.g. skill remarks, baiting into combat) counts as harassment when the targeted player visibly rejects it.
Punishment: Minor: 1h timeout + warning · Repeated: 1–3 day timeout · Severe (hate speech): 7-day ban min · Extreme (doxxing, threats): permanent + IP ban
4

Claims & Clans

Protect your builds with the claim system. Respect others' claims. Follow clan rules.

  • No overlapping claims. Default: keep some distance to neighboring claims. Directly adjacent claims only with explicit agreement of the affected claim holder.
  • Auto-unclaim only when upkeep can't be paid (insufficient balance on /money). No time-based inactivity unclaim.
  • Clan founding: leader responsible for members
  • Alliances and Wars require mutual consent
  • No sharing of foreign structure locations: Coordinates, waypoints, maps, screenshots, or any pointers to another player's build must NOT be shared without explicit permission of the owner. Applies to chat, Discord, voice, third-party tools, and minimap waypoint sharing.
  • No homes/waypoints on foreign locations: Setting a /sethome, waypoint, or any teleport marker on or near another player's clan base, claim, or home is forbidden without explicit permission of the owner.
Punishment: Claim/clan abuse or unauthorized location sharing → 3-day ban + dissolution; malicious sharing leading to grief → see Rule 1
5

Consensual PvP

PvP requires /pvp on from both players. Spawn is always safe.

  • Default: /pvp off for all players
  • /pvp on → off: 24h cooldown
  • Newbie protection: 48h auto-off for new players
  • Spawn (500 block radius): always PvP-free
  • Combat Tag: 15 sec, no logout, teleport, or PvP toggle
  • Combat-Log = treated as death
  • Clan Wars: opt-in, 7-day auto-end; no base destruction, grave rules still apply
  • No walling-in players: Trapping a player in a location where they can't free themselves (e.g. inside a foreign claim where they have no block-break rights) is forbidden. Walling in for protection from mobs in the open world (where the player can break out) is allowed.
  • Protection for outmatched players: Attacking a clearly outmatched player (no or minimal gear, freshly joined, actively engaged in non-combat activities like enchanting/crafting/building) requires explicit verbal or written consent from that player beforehand — in addition to /pvp on. Technically allowed but morally unfair PvP is not OK.
Punishment: Unauthorized PvP / attacking outmatched players: 1h timeout; repeat → 3-day timeout · Traps / spawn camping: 3-day timeout · Status abuse: 1-day timeout; repeat → 7-day ban
6

Absolute Grave Protection

Graves are untouchable for 15 minutes after death. No exceptions.

  • Grave = death chest at death spot; protection radius 3 blocks
  • Only the owner can open during the 15-minute window
  • After 15 min: items drop and are free for anyone
  • Applies in ALL contexts: PvP, Clan Wars, RP, "they deserved it"
  • No trapping (lava, cactus, pistons, mob spawners) or blocking access
Punishment: Accidental (reported immediately): warning + restoration · Intentional: 3-day ban min · Malicious (trapping): 7-day ban; repeat → permanent
7

No Cheats or Unfair Mods

No hack clients, X-Ray, auto-farmers, entity radar, or coordinate tools.

  • Forbidden: Cheat clients (Wurst, Sigma, Impact), combat hacks (aimbot, reach, killaura), movement hacks (fly, speed, nofall), X-Ray + ore-highlight packs, entity radar, auto-farming without input, coordinate finders, chunk pre-gen tools
  • Minimaps allowed: Surface mapping, own position, own waypoints
  • Minimaps forbidden: Cave mode, radar, entity tracking
Punishment: 1st: 3-day ban + mod removal verification · 2nd: 14-day ban · 3rd / distributing cheats: permanent + IP ban
8

No Lag Machines

Builds and farms must not degrade server performance.

  • Staff checks via /tps and profiling
  • Large Redstone farms are fine as long as TPS stays stable
  • Optimization chance is given before any penalty
Punishment: Minor: warning + 1h fix time · Persistent: 6h timeout + required fix · Crash risk: 3-day ban + staff removes the build
9

Roleplay is Voluntary

RP is allowed, but nobody is forced. No coercion, no trolling of RP scenes.

  • Toggle with /rp on/off; active RP players show [RP] prefix
  • RP players may not pressure others to participate
  • Non-RP players don't disrupt active RP scenes
  • OOC mark: ((Text)) or [OOC]
  • OOC stop signal applies ALWAYS: ((stop)) or "OOC Stop" in voice chat
  • Sensitive topics (violence, death, trauma, discrimination) require explicit OOC consent
  • Character death / item loss only with mutual OOC agreement
  • RP never overrides server rules. RP violations are double-punished
Punishment: 1st: warning · 2nd: 1-day timeout · Ignoring OOC stop / RP griefing: 3–7 day ban
10

Allowed & Forbidden Client Mods

Client mods that improve performance or visuals are welcome. Mods that give unfair advantages are not.

  • Allowed: Performance mods (Sodium, Lithium, Iris, OptiFine), shader packs, resource packs (non-X-Ray), inventory management (mouse tweaks), map mods (see below), chat mods, zoom mods (no increased reach)
  • Minimap – Allowed: Surface mapping, own position, own waypoints, death points
  • Minimap – Forbidden: Cave mode / underground mapping, entity radar, player tracking, structure finder, ore highlighting
  • Forbidden: Mods that reveal caves, ores, or structures through terrain; mods that auto-click, auto-farm, or automate gameplay without active input; any mod providing combat or movement advantages
  • Unsure about a mod? Ask staff before using it.
Punishment: 1st: warning + removal verification · 2nd: 3-day ban · Intentional abuse: same scale as Rule 7
Advertising: External content (Discord servers, YouTube channels, other Minecraft servers, shops) may not be promoted in chat, on signs, in books, or in player names. Community-related content is usually fine, ask staff if unsure. Abuse: timeout up to permanent ban.

Reporting Violations

Server Monitoring & Logging

To ensure a safe and fair environment for all players, we run several monitoring and logging systems:

Privacy Commitment: All logged data is used solely for server moderation, performance optimization, and community protection. We do not share personal gameplay data with third parties.

Community First: These rules exist so everyone has fun. Education before punishment. If you see a violation: don't retaliate, document it, report via Discord ticket, trust the process.
