If you feel like any of these rules are unclear contact a Senior Admin+ for clarification.

These rules will define the redstone machines on the server as they have become more and more prominent. These come to clarify any sort of future misunderstandings or questions you may have going forward.

00. Definitions.

  1. An automatic farm: is a farm that requires no input signal from an user to run. This means an automatic farm will deliver end-products even if a player is not interacting with the machine, or even standing next to the machine.
  2. A semi-automatic farm: is a farm that requires an input signal from an user. If a player will not perform an action the farm will not output any items.

01. Rules.

  1. One redstone signal input is allowed to power one or multiple redstone machines.
  2. This redstone machine may perform one action. It’s not allowed to keep the signal alive by hooking it onto a redstone clock for example. A farm with a redstone clock but with an on/off switch is still an autofarm, because it will power a redstone machine multiple times with the same redstone signal input.
    1. This means the following blocks normally are okay to use to input one redstone signal: button, lever or a pressure plate that is walked over once.
    2. This means the following blocks/machines are not okay to use, since they keep the redstone signal alive: redstone clock, minecarts going in a loop over a detector rail, pressure plates that you afk stand on, portal item catchers etc.
  3. Using one of the following blocks/machines to start up a redstone machine is not allowed: Sculk blocks, observers or daylight sensors, as these blocks go off from in-game events making all the output signals ‘auto’.
  4. It is not allowed to harvest blocks or items that are dropped automatically by just setting up a collection point. Examples of these blocks/items are cacti and eggs.
  5. It is allowed to add an autocrafter in your collection area to transform a farmed item into something else. Keep in mind that the rest of the farm must follow the rules above for it not to be considered an auto farm.
  6. Creating large redstone machines, even if they would be considered semi automatic are not allowed because they put a strain on the server causing other players to be impacted by your machines as well.
  7. Using normal game mechanics like villager farming is not allowed to create automatic farms. It is also not allowed to use farmer villagers to automatically keep breeding more villagers. You can breed villagers by throwing them enough food as a player.
  8. It is allowed to make an array of furnaces, as you manually have to put in items and fuel. Keep in mind that it is not allowed to fuel a furnace array with an automatic kelp farm for example.
  9. Keeping server performance in mind is a must when building redstone machines. For example a long line of hoppers is not preferred when you could also transport the items with a waterstream.
  10. Some criterias of judgment that are not ultimate but will give you a rough idea if your farm is allowed or not:
    1. Are you actively interacting with the system other than standing still e.g. pushing a button?
    2. Does the input signal power a redstone machine just once?
    3. If you answer one of these questions with no, you have to ask for a staff members evaluation.
  11. Admin+ reserves the final say in deciding whether a farm is considered automatic or not and has the right to remove said farm without returning the building materials. Moderators may advise on redstone matters but have no final say. If you disagree with a staff member’s decision you can raise an issue with a senior admin.
  12. Trying to go around, or go against the spirit of the rules will lead to punishment.

01. Examples.

Check out the machines here below to get a more clear understanding of what is and isn’t allowed. Keep in mind these machines are just examples and are not what you’d realistically build in-game:

This machine is allowed because one redstone input signal will lead to one redstone machine performing an action. It is also allowed to power multiple of these sugarcane machines with the input of one redstone signal.

This sugarcane machine is not allowed because it is powered by an observer that goes off when the sugarcane grows.

This sugarcane machine is not allowed because it is powered by a minecart that that will infinitely power the machine.

This sugarcane machine with a flying machine is allowed because it has to be started by a player. Flying machines must at least have one docking station and must stop working once they come back to their point of origin. A player can then give another redstone signal to send the flying machine back to work again.

 

We hope you understand the importance of making such rules for farming, as minecraft's ever-expanding universe and technicality leads to some game-breaking and economy-breaking designs that simply do not have a place within our community. It is meant to keep some sort of balance for players to have a chance of catching up.

We love that players look to support and donate to the server, but with a few extra perks comes a few more responsibilities as well:

01. Do not share your perks. This includes, but is not limited to:

  1. Sharing kit items.
  2. Selling kit items.
  3. Building for others with kit items
  4. Repairing tools/armour/weapons for others with kit items.

02. Do not store kit items.

03. Use good judgement:

  1. Using disguide, /fly, /heal, /feed while PvPing a player will not be tolerated
  2. Do not use the 'Invisible' tag in disguises

Its worth noting 'other' players includes all players, even other donors.

We'd also like to add other ways you can continue to help support and promote our server:

04. Treat all players with respect, regardless of their rank.

05. Help answer basic questions, especially if staff are bust or not around.

  1. Demonstrate a knowledge to follow the same rules to keep gameplay as fair as possible
  2. Our new player look up to higher ranks, we appreciate you being a good role model for them!

It can be a bit confusing having a forum and Discord to keep in contact with the community, so here we will outline the difference, as well as some basic forum etiquette.

When to use which platform:

01. Forums is more of an offical way to communicate (consider forums like an email, and discord like texting)

  1. Any sort of reporting rules breaking, bugs, or related concerns should go on forums. We discourage from doing this on Discord because it will get lost in the chat.
  2. Forums should also be used for suggestions, such as modifications you think we should approve, or other feature you think we should add to the game.

02. Discord is more immediate and will get our attention faster.

  1. If a player is wreaking havoc or spamming in game, and staff aren't around, then the best way to notify us is on Discord.
  2. If the server goes down unexpectedly, and no staff were on at the time, then please ping us so we can see what happend. Keep in mind we do have regularly scheduled restarts.
  3. Please ping Moderators or Admins first, and they will refer the issue to Senior Staff if there is a need to.

Forum etiquette:

03. Keep it classy.

  1. Do your best to use proper grammar and spelling. It's difficult to help players if we cannot communicate with each other.
  2. Refrain from all caps, or other obnoxious text.
  3. No personal arguments or disputes.
  4. Stay on topic - if you want to talk about something else, make a new post or move it to Discord when appropriate.

04. No spamming - most issues we see on forums fall under this general umbrella.

  1. No repeatedly replying to your post to 'bump' it.
  2. Do not keep making post about the same issue.

05. English only on the forums.

 

To make things easier for everyone involved here is a quick rundown of what is expected of our moderators;

01. Responsible first and foremost for the quality of gameplay for the players.

02. Setting a good example by being helpful, courteous and fair.

  1. Vountarily helps players by answering basic questions, referring them to guides and other partss of the website when necessary.

03. Being an active player.

  1. Both on the server and discord
  2. Always communicate with the community in a positive way.

04. Displays maturity regardless of their age.

  1. There is no age bias, we do not care if you are 12, 20 or 50, a moderator is expected to act like an adult.
  2. Maturity also means refraining from gossuping about the server or other players. If a moderator has a complaint about our server or another player, please use the proper webpage to report or reach out to an Admin+ so we can assess the problem properly.

Our staff team is a reflection of our server, we hope to appeal professional but approachable. Moderating the server is just one small aspect of our job, our main goal is to promote the quality of the server for our players.

05. Other ways in which Staff might help us improve our server:

  1. Working with us to add new game features to the server (In a similar way in which Crates; Origin and various minigames in the past).
  2. Working with the staff team to create special venues or maps for events and minigames.
  3. Helping write informational website posts.
  4. Hosting (or assisting in hosting) events.
  5. Brings a positive and 'willingness to help' attitude to the server.

The least important part of the job is policing the server. What is meant by this is trying to find people cheating, etc. Staff are told when investigating something, they are told to keep in mind that everyone is innocent unitl proven guilty. Not the other way around. Iterrogating players will not be tolerated. Abusing any staff powers to harass other player will lead to the rank being revoked.
