Faction Player Rules
Updated
This category provides further clarification on player-oriented rules. This means that punishments are usually (not always) individual to the player, rather than to the faction they belong to.

Trapping players using Gen Buckets or Printer Mode is strictly prohibited.
- You are permitted to use lever heads for trapping purposes, provided they do not violate any other network rules.

- 2nd offence
1 Day Ban
Block Glitching [PvP]
Block glitching is strictly prohibited on the network. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Hitting players through solid blocks when no gaps, holes, or slabbed areas are present.
- Ghost-breaking blocks to quickly land a hit or Ghost-opening fence gates, doors, trapdoors, or similar mechanisms to hit another player.
- Placing ghost blocks beneath yourself to escape a trap or to gain entry/exit in an unintended way.

Taking a User Hostage
You are not allowed to take another player hostage for more than 10 minutes. This includes but is not limited to:
- Continuously punching or tagging a player every 2–5 seconds to keep them in combat without attempting to kill them.

Teaming
Players are only permitted to team with members within their faction. Intentionally teaming with players from other factions is strictly prohibited. This rule applies to all activities, including PvP, grinding, taking part in events, and other gameplay interactions.
Factions are not required to engage in combat within designated combat zones, such as the Warzone or PvP worlds like Koth World.
- Spectating fights or targeting players without armour (naked players) does not constitute teaming.
- Creating a separate faction outside of the official rotation to facilitate teaming is prohibited.
- Note: Allies or truces are not permitted to participate in raids, as this constitutes raid interference.
Punishment
- 1st offence
12 Hour Ban
- Additional Punishment: 1 Faction or PvP Strike - This is subject to a case-by-case basis and may not be applied.
Teleportation Trapping
Teleporting another player into your claim or any box, regardless of size, and subsequently killing them for their loot, or being killed after teleporting them, is strictly prohibited. This act will be classified as teleportation trapping, even if the trapped player is not killed.
Teleportation trapping also includes scenarios where a player invites another to teleport to them for items (e.g., God sets, keys, Monthlys), but instead kills or traps the player upon arrival.
Wilderness Player Versus Player (PvP):
- To engage in Wilderness PvP, the initiating player must be at least 3 chunks away from their last claim, or teleport the opposing player at least 3 chunks away from their last claim.
- There must be no signs of traps within a 3-chunk radius of the fight location.
- Players may claim land only after the fight has begun.
- Teleporting a player into the wilderness and subsequently claiming the area or using a chunkbuster to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited.
- Sufficient evidence is required for any enforcement or punishment under these rules.
Punishment
- 1st offence
1 Day Ban
- 2nd offence
3 Day Ban
