1. Respect Players and StaffTreat everyone on Undying SMP with basic respect. Harassment, targeted bullying, discrimination, hate speech, personal attacks, and repeatedly provoking or antagonizing another player are not allowed. Disagreements are fine, but keep them civil and do not turn them into personal attacks.
2. No CheatingAny client, modification, script, macro, or external tool that provides an unfair advantage is prohibited. This includes combat cheats, movement cheats, automated gameplay, x-ray or unfair vision modifications, and other unauthorized advantages. Cosmetic or performance modifications may be allowed as long as they do not provide an unfair gameplay advantage.
3. No Exploiting Bugs or GlitchesDo not intentionally abuse bugs, glitches, unintended mechanics, or broken server features to gain an advantage. If you discover a serious exploit, stop using it and report it to staff. Continuing to abuse a known exploit after being aware that it is unintended may result in punishment.
4. No Duplication ExploitsItem, block, entity, or economy duplication is strictly prohibited. This includes intentionally reproducing items, currency, or other resources through glitches, plugins, commands, or unintended mechanics. Any discovered duplication method should be reported rather than distributed to other players.
5. No Chat or Command SpamDo not flood chat with repeated messages, excessive characters, command requests, or other unnecessary content. Repeatedly using commands or automated messages in a way that disrupts other players or creates unnecessary server activity may also be treated as spam.
6. No Unauthorized AdvertisingAdvertising other Minecraft servers, Discord communities, websites, social accounts, or similar services without permission is prohibited. This includes direct advertisements, repeated promotional messages, and attempts to redirect Undying SMP players to another community for promotional purposes.
7. No Scamming or FraudDo not intentionally deceive players during trades or transactions. This includes taking payment without providing the agreed item or service, deliberately providing something different from what was promised, or using misleading information to obtain another player's money or items.
8. No Real-World Threats or DoxxingThreatening another player with real-world harm, encouraging violence, attempting to expose private information, or sharing someone's personal information without their permission is strictly prohibited. In-game arguments must never be escalated into real-world threats or harassment.
9. Keep Chat and Content AppropriateKeep public chat, builds, signs, books, usernames, and other player-created content reasonably appropriate for the server. Excessive profanity, sexually explicit content, graphic material, hate speech, or intentionally offensive content may be removed or punished.
10. No ImpersonationDo not intentionally impersonate another player, staff member, creator, or other recognizable person. This includes misleading usernames, nicknames, skins, messages, or claims of authority intended to make others believe you are someone else.
11. Account ResponsibilityYou are responsible for the security of your Minecraft account and anything done through it. Do not share your account credentials or intentionally allow another person to use your account. Staff may investigate activity associated with an account when enforcing server rules.
12. No Punishment or Restriction EvasionDo not use alternate accounts, account changes, VPNs, or other methods specifically to bypass a ban, mute, restriction, cooldown, limit, or other server punishment. Attempting to evade enforcement may result in additional punishment.
13. Do Not Intentionally Create Server LagPlayers must not intentionally create excessive server load. This includes abusing redstone, entities, farms, commands, plugins, chunk loading, or other mechanics specifically to degrade server performance. Normal gameplay is allowed unless it is being deliberately used to cause performance problems.
14. No Lag Machines or Crash BuildsDo not create or operate machines, contraptions, builds, or setups whose purpose is to freeze, crash, overload, or severely slow the server or other players' clients. Staff may remove structures that present a serious performance or stability risk.
15. Do Not Abuse Server FeaturesServer commands, plugins, shops, events, rewards, and other features must be used for their intended purpose. Intentionally finding ways around restrictions or combining systems in unintended ways to gain an unfair advantage may be treated as an exploit even when there is no specific rule covering the exact situation.
16. Follow Staff Instructions During Active SituationsWhen staff are handling an active investigation, exploit, server issue, event, or other situation, players are expected to follow reasonable instructions. Staff may temporarily restrict an activity or area when necessary to investigate or protect the server.
17. Do Not Interfere With InvestigationsDo not intentionally destroy evidence, hide relevant items, move affected accounts or assets, coordinate stories, or otherwise interfere with a legitimate staff investigation. If staff are investigating a serious incident, allow them to complete the investigation before attempting to resolve the situation yourself.
18. No Loophole AbuseRules apply to the behavior they are intended to prevent, not only to the exact wording used. Intentionally exploiting a technical loophole, unclear wording, or missing rule to accomplish something obviously against the spirit of the rules may still result in punishment.
19. Respect the Server EnvironmentDo not intentionally damage, disrupt, or interfere with another player's experience through malicious behavior. Normal competition, PvP, raiding, trading, and other gameplay permitted by the server are allowed, but deliberate harassment or disruption outside normal gameplay is not.
20. Have Fun and Play FairUndying SMP is meant to be a survival server where players can build, trade, compete, form teams, and create their own experiences. Play fairly, respect other players, and help keep the server enjoyable for everyone.
21. Staff Code of ConductStaff members have access to permissions and tools that regular players do not. Because of this, staff are expected to follow additional rules and use their authority only for legitimate server-related purposes.
21.1 — No Abuse of PermissionsStaff may not use commands, permissions, or administrative tools to gain personal advantages, assist friends, settle personal disputes, or otherwise benefit themselves or people they favor. Staff powers exist to operate and moderate the server, not to improve personal gameplay.
21.2 — No Unauthorized Items or ResourcesStaff may not spawn, create, duplicate, or distribute items, money, equipment, ranks, or other resources for themselves or players unless the action is specifically authorized and necessary for an administrative purpose. Legitimate administrative actions should not become a source of personal or player advantage.
21.3 — No Economy ManipulationStaff must not use administrative permissions to add, remove, transfer, or modify money or valuable assets for personal benefit or to unfairly benefit another player. Economy corrections should only be performed when there is a legitimate reason and appropriate authorization.
21.4 — No Creative or Administrative AdvantagesStaff should not use Creative Mode, flight, teleportation, spectator features, or other administrative abilities for normal survival gameplay unless there is a legitimate staff-related reason. Staff tools must not be used to obtain resources, win fights, escape danger, or gain advantages unavailable to regular players.
21.5 — No FavoritismStaff decisions must not be based on friendships, personal rivalries, team membership, donations, popularity, or other personal relationships. Players should be treated according to their actions and the applicable rules.
21.6 — Evidence for Serious PunishmentsSerious punishments should be supported by screenshots, recordings, logs, plugin evidence, witness information, or other reasonable evidence whenever possible. Staff should avoid issuing major punishments based solely on assumptions or personal disagreements.
21.7 — Protect Player PrivacyPrivate reports, investigations, staff discussions, account information, and other sensitive server information must not be shared unnecessarily. Staff should only disclose private information when there is a legitimate reason to do so.
21.8 — Professional ConductStaff are expected to remain calm, respectful, and professional while moderating the server. Staff should avoid arguing with players, provoking players, abusing their position during disagreements, or using their authority to win personal arguments.
21.9 — Consistent and Appropriate PunishmentsPunishments should be based on the severity, frequency, and circumstances of the violation. Staff should consider relevant history and available evidence and avoid intentionally excessive punishments for minor incidents.
21.10 — No RetaliationStaff may not punish, target, threaten, mute, ban, or otherwise abuse their authority against a player simply because the player reported them, criticized a decision, submitted a complaint, or disagreed with them.
21.11 — Report Staff AbuseStaff members who discover serious abuse of permissions, corruption, unauthorized item distribution, economy manipulation, or other major misconduct should report it to higher administration. Staff should not conceal serious violations simply because the person involved is another staff member.
21.12 — Administrative AuthoritySenior administration may interpret these rules when a situation is not explicitly covered, update the rulebook when necessary, and take temporary action to protect the server. Rule changes should be communicated to staff and players when appropriate.
