Raiding and Defending Rules

All cannons that are actively in use, including the cannon barrel and cannon adjust walls, must be claimed. Shooting or adjusting cannons in the wilderness is strictly prohibited.

• Players may unclaim their land after attempting or breaching a base. However, if a cannon is destroyed mid-raid, it must not be unclaimed unless the raiding faction intends to switch to another cannon or forfeits the raid.

• Raiding:
  • Players must wait 10 minutes after the last shot before switching raiding cannons during an active raid or attempt.
  • Switching between cannons on different sides of the base is permitted only if the raid timer has not been triggered.
    • However, once the raid timer is triggered, switching cannons or raid claims is prohibited, and players must wait the full 10-minute cooldown before doing so.
• Countering:
  • Players are required to observe a minimum waiting period of 5 minutes after their last shot before switching from a side counter to a buffer counter, from a buffer counter to a side counter, or between different side counters.
    • Note: This regulation also applies to anti-side counters.

• Bases (Buffer Counters, Base Defences) / Raiding (Cannon Boxes):
  • You must wait 10 minutes after the last shot before patching using Gen Buckets, Printer, or /printer mode. This rule applies to both bases and cannon boxes.
• Counters (Side / Anti Side Cannon Boxes):
  • You must wait 5 minutes after the last shot before patching using Gen Buckets, Printer, or /printer mode. This rule applies to side and anti-side cannon boxes.
• Patching with unbreakable blocks, disrupting TNT or sand, or using any blocks listed in 4.1 is strictly prohibited.
• The use of sand bots or alts, Sand Removers to remove enemy shots, or Wilderness Patching during an active raid timer is strictly prohibited. Note that accidentally patching blocks 1–3 outside the buffer does not fall under this rule.
  • In the case of Raiding Outpost, patching outside of the designated “raid outpost” claims is not permitted.

• Raid Claim Limit:
  • Each faction is permitted to have only one raid claim per side of a base.
• Raid Claim Size:
  • [Celestial Realm / Galactic Realm]:
    • Maximum Raid Claim Size: 13x13 chunks with an additional 10x1 chunks (1 chunk wide and 10 chunks long) on both sides permitted for adjustments.
  • [Orbit Realm]:
    • Maximum Raid Claim Size: 12x12 chunks with an additional 10x1 chunks (1 chunk wide and 10 chunks long) on both sides permitted for adjustments.

• Cannon Box Limit:
  • Each raid claim is permitted to have only one cannon box or cannon. Furthermore, all cannon boxes must be properly claimed.
• Cannon Box Defence Limit:
  • Legal Defences:
    • You are permitted a maximum of three chunks of walls (24 walls plus the box wall) on each side of your cannon box, measured starting from the box wall.
      • Each wall must be one block thick and may not have more than a one-block gap between them.
        • Anti-Freecam Inner Layer: If you wish to have an Anti Free Cam inner layer in your box, you are allowed to.
    • Additionally, you are allowed to place up to 50 slabs per wall on your cannon box.
  • Illegal Defences:
    • You are not allowed to have any regeneration walls, anti-nukes/f1nnsters walls, or oceans (including fake oceans) placed on or in front of your cannon box.
      • Float oceans are allowed; however, they cannot be used for patching purposes.
    • Defences from one of your cannon boxes cannot be in line with another one of your cannon boxes.

• Counter Claim Limit:
  • There are no limitations on the number of anti-raid claims you may have on each raid claim or per side of a box. However, these claims must be placed at least 1 chunk away from your last buffer claim.
    • Note: This rule also applies to anti-side counters.
• Counter Claim Size:
  • The maximum size of a countering claim allowed is 7x7 chunks, with an additional 6x1 chunks (1 chunk wide, 6 chunks long) on both sides for adjustment purposes.
• Counter Defence Limit:
  • Legal Defences:
    • You are allowed a maximum of eight walls, plus one box wall, on your side counter.
  • Illegal Defences:
    • The use of anti-nukes, regeneration walls, oceans, or slabs on your side counter is strictly prohibited.
  • Note: This rule also applies to anti-side counters.
• Side Countering Restrictions:
  • You are only permitted to side counter a raiding cannon from the outward side. Side countering a raiding cannon from the side near the world border, from behind, or from the front is strictly prohibited.
• Clarification: If your base is not the near border side (example: walls/buffer on all 4 sides), you are allowed to counter from both sides (as there isn’t a designated border side). However, bases attached to the border side or corner must still follow the rule.
  • You are allowed to counter an anti-side or a side counter from any side.
  • The use of presides is not allowed in any world except the Raiding Outpost World.
    • Presides are defined as side counters built at locations of a potential raid claim before the creation of one by another faction. The use of presides is not allowed in any world except the Raiding Outpost World.

Usage of Buffer Counters to raid another faction directly from your base, regardless of distance or counter a faction while your faction is under the grace period or shield protection is strictly prohibited.

• You may only perform side counters while your faction is within a grace timer or protected by a shield.
• The usage of buffer counters is permitted only when your faction is no longer under shield or grace protection. Buffer counters are only allowed to be used for countering another faction's cannon box, not for raiding bases.
  • Server-side protection has prevented this from occurring. However, attempting to bypass it will also fall under this rule.

Once the defending faction enters a grace timer, you are not permitted to be inside their faction base or buffer claims, nor to disable their fly from your claims.

• If requested by the defending faction or staff, you must immediately leave the defending claims.
  • You will only receive one warning regarding this rule.

Intentionally setting up a cannon with the sole purpose of shooting another faction’s base only once or a few times to trigger the raiding timer is strictly prohibited. Using an alternate faction to shoot your base to prevent other factions from raiding you and to gain a free shield is also strictly prohibited.

• Example: Setting up a 255 qp cannon, shooting once to trigger the raid timer, and then leaving.

You are not allowed to attempt to sabotage or prevent profit during an active raid. This includes, but is not limited to, the following actions:

• Unclaiming your base region or all claims, or disbanding your faction.
• Attempting to remove or edit your spawners by any means, such as creeper eggs, TNT, mining, etc.
• Illegally protecting spawners by encasing them with blocks or liquids (staff will remove such blocks and liquids).
• Attempting to destroy value through internal server systems, such as clear lag or burning spawners, to prevent profit.
• Griefing your base using tools such as chunk busters, trench pickaxes, wall removers, or other methods to prevent profit.
  • Any form of raid, sabotage, or prevention of profit is strictly prohibited.

In instances where a raid is being conducted, and the defending faction does not have a shield set, the faction that shot first will be granted the raid. Consequently, no other factions are permitted to interfere with the raid in any manner.

• Furthermore, the defending faction cannot set its faction shield while being actively shot at by another faction. Doing so will result in the shield being removed.
