Rules & Guidelines
Rules serve as a fair standard to ensure everyone has a good experience on RiftLand.
Social interactions:
Ensuring a friendly chat is super important at RiftLand, where we want everyone, no matter their age, to feel welcome. Below are examples of things you should avoid in chat. These rules apply to Minecraft chat, Discord chat, signs, books, holograms, renamed items, and letters that are built with blocks.
Disrespectful & Inappropriate Behavior:
Everyone at RiftLand deserves a drama-free and respectful time. Being passive aggressive or generally creating a negative atmosphere will be handed a warning, followed up by revoked chat privileges.
Inappropriate Language & Discussion:
Be respectful—refrain from using inappropriate language and avoid discussing controversial topics like politics, religion, race, and other sensitive subjects that may not be suitable for everyone.
Spamming:
Avoid spamming: do not repeat your messages unless a few minutes have passed if your question may have been missed. Also, avoid asking for countdowns or sharing song lyrics that could disrupt the chat. Furthermore, refrain from using lengthy and spammy item names in the Minecraft chat.
Sharing Others' Information:
Be respectful and don't share secrets or make jokes about private things. This also means not trying to trick others into sharing their personal info. It's important to create a safe and trusting space for everyone.
Advertising & Promotion:
No advertising for other websites, servers, or things not related to RiftLand. It's okay to promote RiftLand stuff, but remember to avoid spamming.
Threats & Harm Encouragement:
Don't say things that might hurt or threaten others—even if you think it's a joke. Do not encourage others to hurt themselves in real life.
Game Behavior:
All users on RiftLand are held to an equal standard. Our aim is to provide an enjoyable experience for all players, and individuals who are found to deliberately ruin another person's enjoyment on the server will face appropriate consequences.
Griefing & Trolling:
Having fun is important, but your fun might not be fun to others, remember that!
Don't mess with other peoples' build unless you have permission.
Stealing & Scamming:
Taking items from other players without permission is not allowed. Actively participating in sales or trades with the intent to withhold agreed-upon items is not allowed and will be met with consequences.
Inappropriate Names, Skins, Items & Builds:
Inappropriate names: You will be asked by a staff member to change it. If you cannot change it until a certain date, you will be restricted from joining the server until that date. Inappropriate names are also against Mojang's terms of service which can get your Minecraft account banned.
Inappropriate skins: You will be asked by a staff member to change it, failing to do so will lead to a ban.
Inappropriate items: Renaming items to something that you wouldn't be able to say in the chat is not allowed.
Inappropriate builds: Building builds that include things such as (but not limited to): anti-semitism, racism, sexism, nudity, hateful, is prohibited. This will lead to a ban without warning.
Lying & Misleading:
When making a report, it is crucial you do not falsify proof or lie to the staff members. If you are found trying to get someone wrongly punished with false reports, will lead to a temporary ban and revoked reporting abilities.
(NEW) Killing/Trapping/PVP:
When you want to fight, trap, or overall kill people, you are not allowed to do it without consent.
Cheating & Exploiting:
This is a casual server, cheating is not needed. If you are found to be using disallowed modifications or exploits, you will be banned.
Modifications:
Using mods or scripts that gives unfair advantage is not allowed. Below is a list of allowed and disallowed mods.

Optifine, Sodium, Lithium, Phosphor, (Most FPS boosters).

Disallowed:
Any mod/script/macro that makes your character perform automated tasks, such as (but not limited to): digging, moving, talking, jumping, auto-aim, auto-crit, chest-sorting (chest sorting is very risky, as it can delete items from your inventory) and the other mods above can get you automatically banned by our system.
Xray mods/scripts/resource/texture packs. We have anti-xray to prevent it regardless, but the rule is still here.
Exploiting:
Using exploits such as unintended server bugs or duplication methods is not allowed. If you find a game-breaking issue, report it to a staff member right away.
Your mods, your responsibility:
When using mods, it is your responsibility to ensure that they are safe; that they do not contain malware; they do not run unintentional scripts, or run malicious actions. By using mods on RiftLand, you agree to the consequences that comes with using disallowed mods.
