Prism Party:Rules

Minecraft rules

Do not disrupt gameplay

Respect other players and allow everyone to have an enjoyable time on the server. Do not:

• Pester, annoy, or harass other players purposefully, especially if you are asked to stop. (Eg. Do not continue to kill or attack players who wish to be left alone or release the private information of other players.)
• Do not purposefully cause lag or build laggy structures (such as large automated farms and hopper arrays).
• Do not overload areas of the server with entities or attempt to bypass entity cramming.

No griefing

Griefing is the act of destroying or modifying one’s creation without permission. While playing on Prism Party, griefing is strictly forbidden. Griefing includes:

• Destroying any structure (claimed or unclaimed) without permission from the owner
• Killing/stealing livestock or animals in a private claim or near it
• Taking items out of someone’s chest (locked or unlocked)
• Building within 150 blocks of someone else’s land claim or town
• Harvesting crops/trees without replanting
• Claiming the blocks of another player’s build as your own

Claims belonging to inactive players expire automatically after a period of 60 days (Locks on chests, however, are indefinite). After this period, users may ask an admin to overtake an abandoned claim. Claims that are left abandoned for prolonged periods of time may be rolled-back and deleted to ensure the world has space for everyone. If you are concerned about losing your claim, you may create a ticket or alert an admin to your situation. Any structures that are subject to deletion will be backed-up first and later able to be restored should the owner become active later.

No spamming

Spamming is the action of sending repetitive or unwarranted messages. The following is considered spam:

• Sending duplicate messages over a short period of time
• Sending messages in rapid succession
• Long strings of keyspam (keyspam is fine by itself, but don’t send entire message-lengths of it)
• IP addresses or domains of other servers or websites not relevant to Prism Party (you may mention the names of other servers in conversation as long as you are not doing so to recruit players)
• Using the DiscordSRV (#survival, #creative, and #hub channels) when not engaged in a conversation, using it to bypass chat restrictions, or sending one-word messages
• Leaving and joining in succession (barring connection issues)
• Asking for ranks or staff positions in public channels
• Mini-modding (moderating/enforcing the rules in place of staff)

Keep the server appropriate

Prism Party aims to be a safe and fun environment for all. As a result, certain topics and actions are not to occur on the Prism Party network.

• As minors may be present in the chat, all mature conversation (18+ topics) is prohibited.
• Vulgar and offensive builds are unacceptable.
• Heavy discourse, drama, and potentially triggering subject matter.
• Political discussion, partisan argument, etc.
• Mild/infrequent swearing is acceptable, however slurs and hate speech are not. Do not attempt to bypass the server's filter.
• No inappropriate skins, usernames (nicknames or IGNs), or items.
• Do not use Prism Party as a dating service or flirt with players inappropriately.
• Do not engage in inappropriate roleplay, or act out inappropriate scenes.
• Do not use proximity chat functions to circumvent these rules.

No screamers in proximity chat

The use of "screamers" and other auditory memes is strictly prohibited while using proximity chat within our server. Do not scare or harass users with loud or creepy sounds using the server's proximity chat features. As we lack the ability to mute players using proximity chat, users found in violation of this rule will instead be banned.

No game-changing mods, exploits, or hacks

While playing on our server, you are forbidden from using mods, hacked clients, or exploits which grant you unfair advantages over other players or substantially alter gameplay. However, certain mod categories are permissible and are listed below:

• Client performance mods - Mods which aim to increase the FPS or performance of the game client, such as Optifine or Gamma mods.
• Aesthetic mods - Mods which enhance the visual appearance of Minecraft. Shaders, Better Foliage, Ambient Sounds, etc. are allowed as long as they do not grant a gameplay advantage (such as making solid blocks transparent).
• HUD mods - Mods which add extra HUD elements to the display. Minimap mods (without radar), Compass GUI, health indicators, Better Chat, Potion/Armor HUDS are allowed.

If you have any questions regarding allowed mods, please contact a staff member!

Use server plugins and features as intended

We use plugins to enhance gameplay and provide a unique and fun experience to players. We understand that it may take time to get used to certain plugins and gameplay changes, but please do not exploit the plugins we provide for personal gain or try to bypass moderation.

• Do not build AFK farms or circumvent chat filters.
• Don’t use plugin features unfairly. (This overlaps with other rules, such as no exploits or claiming structures belonging to others.)
• Do not abuse glitches or oversights to gain an early, or unfair, advantage over others.
