General Faction Rules

Insiding refers to betraying your faction for personal gain or to benefit another faction, including taking or sabotaging anything that belongs to the faction. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Teleporting enemy players into faction bases, farms, or boxes.
• Mining, stealing, or destroying valuable items such as spawners.
• Unclaiming faction land or griefing the base or its Defences, such as chunkbusting.
  • However, teleporting others outside of faction claims or joining a faction solely to obtain and leak coordinates will not be classified as insiding or faction betrayal.
• Leaving or kicking and killing your faction member for their sets and items.
  • Senior staff holds the discretion to determine what is defined as an Inside.

Important: Once spawners are placed within a base or faction claim, they are considered part of the faction’s shared value. These spawners become the property of the faction, not the individual who placed them.

• If you were invited to a faction, placed value, and were later kicked, you should create a support ticket for assistance.

Faking or staging an insiding incident with the intent to gain additional wealth, receive an unwarranted rollback, or prevent a raid attempt is strictly prohibited. Any attempt to deceive staff or manipulate game mechanics through false reports of insiding will result in severe punishment.

Claiming land with the intent to obstruct another faction from properly claiming or expanding their base, buffer, farm, cannon box, or adjust box, especially during the TNT phase, is strictly prohibited. All land claims must serve a legitimate purpose and must not be used as a tactic to disrupt or interfere with the operations of other factions.

Examples of prohibited behaviour include:

• Claiming chunks adjacent to or surrounding an enemy faction’s base solely to block their expansion or prevent them from placing buffers or farms.
• Placing claims around a faction’s cannon or adjust box during the TNT phase to hinder their ability to operate or defend.
• Using claims to disrupt or delay the natural progression of another faction’s base building or raiding strategies.
  • Any such actions will be treated as intentional obstruction and punished accordingly.

Any attempt to bypass server, faction, or gameplay limitations, whether through the use of alternative accounts, other players, or any means not intended by the server, is strictly prohibited.

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Using alternate accounts to gain value/an advantage (excluding “AFK’ing” spawners). This can include, but is not limited to, redeeming kits, competing in server events or completing rewarding challenges (e.g, Missions, Chronicles [Orbit Realm]).
  • PLEASE NOTE: This rule is only enforced if you exceed an account limit of 3. The use of Proxies in an attempt to bypass these restrictions is also punishable via Admin Discretion. If an administrator believes that you may be doing this, then you can expect a potential Screenshare. This category does not apply to AFK Grinding. Please refer to the other examples below:
    • Just to clarify, you can still have more accounts online than the proposed limit (3). This rule mainly aims to prevent any exploitation of rewards.
  • Example: If you have spare Rank Vouchers, you can apply them to accounts with no limitations. However, you are only allowed to reap benefits from a total of three of them (a Total of 2 accounts and your main), such as redeeming the kit for rewards.
• Bypassing of faction limitations (inclusive of members, alts, claims, etc).
  • Example: Bypassing of member limitations with the use of the /f alts system. Creating or joining an alternate faction to store valuables or faction wealth that the main faction is limited from holding.
• Bypassing or exploiting server/rule limitations
  • Example: Utilising bots/accounts or AFK methods to automate tasks such as grinding or raiding notifications, circumventing server rules, exploiting server bugs, etc.
• Using alternative accounts or coordinating with others to gain an unfair advantage or evade restrictions.
  • Using an alternate account to join another faction and assist in raids, defending, or resource gathering that the main faction is restricted from performing.
    • This includes coordinating with other factions or players to bypass limitations on raids, defending, and wall checks.
• [Orbit Realm] Using alternate accounts to compete in admin-hosted Giveaways. To clarify, this rule ignores the total account limit below. You can only join the giveaway on one account.

Faction merging is only permitted under strict conditions. No form of valuable assets, such as faction wealth, in-game currency, or balance. May be transferred or merged between factions.

• [Celestial Realm / Galactic Realm] Merging of factions is NOT allowed at any point throughout the map (inclusive of Grace).
• [Orbit Realm] The freely merging of factions is ONLY allowed during the Grace Period.
  • However, once the grace period ends, the following restrictions are to be followed:
    • Our following Merging procedures can be found here: LINK

The following items are prohibited from being transferred during a merge:

• In-game currency (money)
• Faction wealth (e.g., spawners, spawner bundles)
• Any items that contribute to faction value (e.g., keys, loot boxes, bosses, monthly crates.

Faction hopping is strictly prohibited. This occurs when a player frequently switches between factions to gain advantages and later returns to their original faction. Such actions undermine fair play and will result in appropriate punishments.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Joining a faction temporarily to assist in PvP, defend a base, or participate in raids.
• Playing on an alternate account that is in a different faction than your main.

Players must remain with their faction and contribute consistently. Abusing faction membership for strategic short-term benefits is not allowed under any circumstances.

• Permanently leaving your faction to join another faction, leaving your current faction to fight your teammates, will not be classified under this rule.

You may only have 4 warzone trap claims per world. Each claim shall be a maximum size of 10x10 chunks (10 chunks long, 10 chunks wide).

• You are not allowed to claim all the end-chunks of Warzone.

Raiding a derp does not qualify as a legitimate raid or raid attempt. However, the use of gen buckets or any form of printer mode to patch during or after such engagements is strictly prohibited.

• Players must wait a minimum of 5 minutes before initiating any patching using these methods.

Players are prohibited from taking value or items from another faction’s raid. Spectating a raid is allowed only if the Raid Spectating Rules are followed.

Looting of a faction’s base is permitted only after the raiding faction has completed raiding and looting the base, or when the raiding faction is off-timer. The faction that breaches the base using a cannon holds the right to loot and raid that base.

Interfering with an ongoing raid or counter attempt is strictly prohibited. Only members of the raiding and defending factions are allowed to participate or be present at the raid.

This includes but is not limited to:

• PvPing Against Raid Participants:
  • Engaging in combat against members of either the raiding or defending faction during the raid.
    • Example: Attacking a defender or raider during the raid, even if you are not part of either faction.
• Cannon Obstruction:
  • Building a cannon directly in front of another faction’s cannon with the intent to block or disrupt their cannon operation, using this as a justification to counter the cannon.
    • Example: Placing a cannon in the exact spot where another faction’s cannon is firing to force a counter.
• Patching:
  • Blocking or repairing holes during the raid for either faction.
    • Example: Filling gaps in the defending faction’s base while the raid is ongoing.
• Countering Attempts:
  • Attempting to counter or disrupt the cannon or raid efforts of either faction.
    • Example: Destroying or disabling cannons belonging to the raiding faction while the raid is in progress.
• Buffer Runs and Wall Checks:
  • Running to check walls, buffers, or scouting the location of players and cannons belonging to the raiding or defending faction.
    • Example: Searching for the exact location of enemy cannons to relay information or to assist your faction.
• Building or Providing Support:
  • This includes building, claiming, or supplying cannons/counters, sharing coordinates (such as providing backup or distracting enemies) or other resources to either faction involved in the raid.
    • Example: Giving materials or placing blocks to aid one side during the raid.

Spectating Players / Right to Raid Information:

1. Spectator Rules:
   1. Players spectating the raid must follow all Raid Spectating guidelines and refrain from interfering.
2. Right to Raid:
   1. The faction that fires its cannon first holds the exclusive right to raid the target base.
      1. Example: Before firing, factions should ensure no other faction has already started firing to avoid disputes.

You are allowed to spectate a raid only if you remain within your faction's claims or in wilderness areas. Entering the claims, buffer zones, or core regions of either the defending or raiding factions is strictly prohibited.

• Any interference with the raid will be considered Raid Interference and punished accordingly. While spectators are permitted to call out shot coordinates, they are strictly forbidden from engaging in any actions listed under the Raid Interference category.

Regarding PvP, if either the raiding or defending faction initiates combat against a spectating faction and the spectating faction retaliates within 16 blocks of the raid claims, this retaliation will be considered Raid Interference. To avoid misunderstandings or accidental violations, it is highly recommended to use the /f spectate command while observing raids.

Examples of prohibited actions during spectating (Raid Interference):

• Engaging in PvP against members of the raiding or defending faction.
• Building, patching, or providing any form of assistance to either faction involved in the raid.
• Using information gained from spectating to influence the raid unfairly.
• Fighting back within 16 blocks of the raid claims after being attacked by either raiding or defending faction members.

Raids and counter attempts are considered legitimate only when TNT successfully breaks the base or box shell, resulting in a breach of the base or box with a legal cannon. Any attempt that violates this condition will be deemed illegal.

Examples of illegal raids include, but are not limited to:

• Insiding
• Exploiting glitches, bugs, or other game exploits
• Using blacklisted modifications
  • If you enter the base or box through a hole, you are required to provide evidence demonstrating both your entry into the area and the exact location of the hole you used.

Automated farms utilising Redstone mechanisms or similar automation methods are strictly prohibited. All farms must require manual harvesting to comply with network rules.

This includes but is not limited to:

• Farms that automate crop harvesting using water flow
• Farms that use minecarts to collect or harvest crops
• Redstone-based farms that automatically harvest sugarcane, pumpkins, melons, or other crops
• Any other mechanisms that automate the harvesting process without manual player input
  • All farms must require manual harvesting to comply with network rules.

Any form of offensive faction names and descriptions is strictly prohibited. This includes any form of racist remarks, slurs, or other inappropriate language.

Once spawner placement is disabled and “EOTW” has started, you are not allowed to find bypasses to place new spawners or increase in faction top value that is not from spawners placed in your base before EOTW. For example, you cannot build a hidden base in the wilderness and then claim it after Spawner Placement has been disabled to increase your Faction Top (spawner) value.

You are not allowed to “snipe” the teleport requests of another faction to get into their base/cause any damage. For example, if, in some way, you witness an enemy faction member sending a teleport request to one of their members, you cannot attempt to send your teleport request in hopes of them accidentally accepting yours - in other words, sniping it.

• Voyage Griefing: Any form of deliberately sabotaging or interfering with a voyage to cause failure is prohibited.
• Voyage Cheating: Cheating in any voyage to gain an unfair advantage over other players is strictly prohibited. Any attempt to complete a room in a way not intended by design (such as speed completing or skipping key elements) is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of printing, blinking, v-clipping, and similar methods.
  • Any effort to bypass or exploit loopholes in this rule will be subject to the Common Sense Rule. Players found cheating may have their entire voyage force stopped and be subject to further action as deemed appropriate.
• Voyage Alting: The use of alternative accounts is strictly prohibited in voyages.
