- Chat Rules -

1) English only in Global chat.
• Use private messages to speak with others in other languages.
• Special characters are not permitted, including distored or stacked Unicode characters designed to obscure text or spam chat. Some examples:

   - Acceptable Unicode: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ （＾・ω・＾）
   - Unacceptable Unicode: Ｎｏｐｅ ɴᴏᴘᴇ 🅽🅾🅿🅴 𝓝𝓸𝓹𝓮 𝙉𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝑁𝑜𝑝𝑒 🄽🄾🄿🄴 𝓷𝓸𝓹𝓮
   - Exception: Weapon/item names may have "unacceptable" unicode; have fun!

2) No spamming, flooding, or excessive/repetitive caps.

3) No links in global chat. Do not advertise or discuss other servers - this includes both in global AND private messages.

4) Swearing is allowed up to a point. Actively verbally attacking or degrading a player is not permitted; keep in mind others do not know who your friends are, and what you may perceive as playful may come across harmful to outsiders. Do not harass others. If you have a personal issue with a particular player who is otherwise following server rules, use the ignore function.

5) No racist/political/religious/hate speech garbage. This means no talking about politics at all - yes, the world is shit right now, but this isn't twitter.

6) Do NOT impersonate staff.
• This includes changing your name or skin to resemble a staff member's, claiming to be a staff member or alt thereof, or telling people how they will be punished. That is not for YOU to decide!
• We do encourage helpful players however! If someone asks a question and you know the answer, feel free to tell them.

7) Do not ask for staff rank, OP, creative, items, etc. Quick answer: No.

8) If a staff member says to drop the conversation, DROP IT. It doesn't matter who started it or who was involved; whoever continues will receive punishment as well.

  • Failure to comply with chat rules will result in a 15-minute mute. Logging off will not reduce your time. Repeated offenses will result in a tempban or permban if extreme.
  • If a user is brand new and floods chat as their first action on the server, they will be permbanned.
  • Sending a link in Global chat will result in a 15-minute mute; linking another server will result in a 7-day tempban. Further offenses will result in a permban.

- Server Content -

1) No hacking, duping, x-ray, or glitch exploitation. Bugs will likely be rampant in the early days; abusing them will result in disciplinary action. If you discover a bug, please contact us.
 • Hacked clients will result in an immediate permban.
   - If you are found x-raying/abusing glitches, all items in your inventory will be destroyed and you will be banned for 7 days.
     Second offense will result in 30 days. Further offenses will result in a permban.
   - Admitting your fault instead of playing stupid or logging out instantly like a coward will reduce your ban to 3 days.
   - Users who x-ray immediately upon joining the server will receive a 30-day tempban. Second offenses will result in a permban.
   - Duping will result in a 30 day tempban. Second offense will be a permban.
   - Friends don't let friends hack. You may be subject to a tempban by association for 3 days if you are caught exploring with or assisting a banned user.
• Hytale claims to be able to block the need for hacked clients. This section, along with the rest, is subject to rapid changes. If there's a will, there's an xray... and a moderator. :)

2) No offensive usernames or skins.
 • You will be asked ONCE to change it. Refusal to cooperate will result in a 30-day tempban. Returning with the same or similar will result in a permban.

3) No offensive builds, signs, books, map art, items names, etc. This includes but is not limited to religious, 'historic', or otherwise intended "trigger" builds.
 • On first offense, items/builds will be destroyed and result in a 30 minute jail; logging out will not reduce jail time. Second offense will result in a 7-day tempban. Third offense may result in a 30 day tempban or permban depending on severity.
   - Building a "cathedral" structure with NO visible religious indicators is perfectly fine. Adding crosses or a jesus statue is a no-go.

4) No lag machines. Intentionally creating resource-heavy builds may result in similar punishment to #3 above.

5) The use of macros or auto-clickers is not permitted. This would have the same punishment as Duping.

6) Hytale has made it clear that early creations MAY break as the game updates. This may include builds. As much as we are able, we will try to preserve everything, but we cannot control game mechanics in the early days. We WILL provide compensation if/whenever this happens with materials or tools. 7) If you are banned, muted, or jailed, you may not use an alternate account to evade your punishment. If your FRIEND is muted/jailed/banned, going nuclear in chat or Discord is a swift way to join them and will negatively impact you both.
 • Mutes and jails will be applied to the alternate account for the same duration as the main.
 • Ban evasion will up your ban by one tier (ex: if you're banned for 7 days for offensive builds, it will be upped to 30 days)


If you suspect anyone of any of the above, please do NOT call it out in chat or attempt to message the person yourself. Message any staff member and we will look into it as quickly as possible!

- Player-to-Player Conduct -

1) Griefing is not allowed at this time. If it appears someone has placed down objects to build, or has clearly marked the area with a sign, damaging it may result in a temp or permban. We make backups daily with MC, we will likely make hourly backups with Hytale to begin with until plugins/control expands.

2) Teleport-killing is NOT legal.
 • Do not push players out of spawn, including through the random teleport portal.
 • You may be jailed for your safety if found AFK at spawn. Message any staff member when you return!

3) Trapping around your base IS allowed.
 • You may NOT tp someone with the intention of leading them into a trap, including mob-infested areas.

4) PVP and griefing is enabled outside of claims. Combat timer lasts for 3 seconds before you can teleport away/place blocks/etc.*
*This does not exist yet. Users found to be teleporting away from combat consistently may be punished similar to glitch exploitation.
 • If you're hit outside of your claim, running inside would not cancel combat.
 • Staff do not actively PVP users in the wild but may offer to spar. If you attack them unprovoked, it's fair game to retaliate.

5) Dragging/pushing people out of their claim or into damage-enabled areas is not allowed. Attempting to bypass (future) claim protections to cause damage to users inside their claims is also not allowed and will be punished similar to exploits.

6) "Claim camping," setting a home outside of a player's base and harassing them, is not permitted and your home will be removed.

7) Claims must have sufficient distance between borders (unless building with friends/have permission from your neighbours).
 • Claiming around others with the intention of keeping them from expanding is not allowed. Essentially you may not use claims to grief.

8) Scamming is NOT allowed.
 • This includes but is not limited to having a third party interrupt the trade, intentionally offering bad deals, pretending your connection dropped, and/or not delivering on services.
 • Offering "IOU" trades is not allowed. If you offer 64 diamond blocks for someone to build a farm, you should HAVE 64 diamond blocks before you offer. Don't lend items with the promise of "I'll pay u back bro" - they won't.

9) Gambling IS NOT currently allowed due to Hytale's TOS. This is something we hope changes. Our previous mindset was as follows:

  • The House may NOT "always" win. Users must be able to at least get close to breaking even, if not 'winning' regularly.
  • Contraptions/machines should not be resource-intensive or overly loud.
  • If you would like Dummy Tokens, like raffle tickets or credits, ask an Admin! ^^
