These rules are here to help keep ExtremeCraft fair, enjoyable, and safe for everyone. Do not look for loopholes. If something seems wrong, it probably is. If you are unsure, ask a staff member before doing it.

Not every possible situation can be listed here. Staff may still act against behaviour that clearly goes against fair play, common sense, or the spirit of the rules.

Because there is a lot of information here, we recommend using CTRL + F to quickly find what you need.

Important Notes:

  • Staff may punish behaviour that is clearly harmful or abusive even if it is not written word for word below.
  • Punishments depend on intent, severity, history, and context.
  • Evidence older than 7 days may be disregarded depending on the situation.
  • Any attempt to poach or recruit our staff or members to join or play on your server will be treated as advertising.
  • TP-killing is allowed on all servers.
  • Insiding, betrayal, internal sabotage, and similar team-related actions are allowed. Players join teams at their own risk, and staff will not intervene in losses caused by trust issues.

Modified Clients, Cheats, Disallowed Mods

Using modified clients, cheats, or mods that provide an unfair advantage over other players is strictly prohibited. All modifications are used at your own risk, including those not explicitly listed here. If you are found using or possessing a prohibited modification, you may be punished even if you did not realise it was disallowed.

Disallowed mods and features include, but are not limited to:

  • Admitting to using hacks or disallowed mods, even as a joke, may still be treated as punishable at staff discretion.
  • Any advantage gained through a disallowed mod or feature may be removed.
  • Any feature, mod, or setting that generates clicks without continuous physical input is treated as automated clicking.

Chat Behaviour

We want chat to remain welcoming, readable, and enjoyable for players of all ages. Behaviour that disrupts chat or targets other players in a toxic, abusive, or inappropriate way is not allowed.

Punishable chat behaviour includes, but is not limited to:

  • Indecency, sexual harassment, racism, hate speech, name-calling, or general disrespect
  • Advertising, spam, flooding, and excessive capital letters
  • Public hackusations instead of reporting players properly
  • Command trolling, such as tricking someone into running harmful commands
  • Pretending to be a staff member
  • Repeatedly asking for rank-ups, items, money, or other benefits
  • Encouraging harmful behaviour
  • Any other behaviour that disrupts chat or ruins the experience for others
  • General rudeness, including unnecessary hostility or repeatedly trying to provoke others

Notes:

  • Swearing is allowed, but targeting players, being abusive, or evading the censor is not.
  • Turning off the filter with /tcf is a personal choice and does not make toxic behaviour acceptable.
  • Some offences may overlap and still be punished under general rudeness or related behaviour categories.

Offensive and Gameplay-Related Behaviour

There are also a number of non-chat behaviours that are not allowed. These rules exist to prevent players from ruining the game experience of others or unfairly exploiting server features.

Disallowed behaviour includes, but is not limited to:

  • Griefing, including intentionally damaging or stealing another player’s property where protections apply 
  • Intentionally trolling players during PitRush and mines (spleefing)
  • Staff TP-killing, such as luring staff with false help requests to kill them
  • Warp-Killing
  • Abusing staff teleport requests, fake help requests, or staff support systems to gain an advantage
  • Scamming on servers where scamming is not allowed
  • Store scamming, such as promising ranks, Coins, or perks in exchange for in-game valuables
  • Claim trolling or claiming purely to annoy, obstruct, or harass others
  • Creating inappropriate content such as offensive builds, signs, books, weapons, or names
  • Creating lag machines or farms intended to harm server performance
  • Stealing Event keys, VoteParty rewards, or crate items by abusing inventories or mechanics

  • Pushing or hitting players off the edge in PvP arenas where this is not allowed
  • Abusing commands to escape PvP
  • Command spam or command abuse
  • Blocking players during PitRush/DTP

  • Doxxing or sharing private information
  • Stealing information, including the use of IP grabbers or similar links
  • Selling accounts
  • Threats of any kind
  • Inviting a ban evader into a team, party, or similar group

Notes:

  • TP-killing is allowed on all servers.
  • Assisting with or setting up TP-kills is allowed where normal TP-killing is involved, but may still be punished if it involves a separate offence such as staff TP-killing, fake help requests, severe misconduct, or abuse of staff support systems.
  • We may not be able to return items lost through scams or TP-kills if the items can no longer be traced or recovered.
  • Scams that could have been safely avoided by using /trade may not be handled by staff.
  • Scamming is allowed only on Factions, Anarchy, Lifesteal, and Towny.
  • Cross-server scamming is allowed only between Factions, Anarchy, Lifesteal, and Towny.
  • Scamming outside those servers is punishable.
  • Buycraft/Coin scamming is never allowed anywhere.
  • Inappropriate item names are not allowed anywhere.

Boosting

(Islands, Factions, Towns, Party/Hall of Fame, and similar systems)

Boosting is any attempt to unfairly manipulate progression, statistics, points, rankings, or Hall of Fame standings through artificial or coordinated methods instead of normal gameplay.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Using alternate accounts, temporary members, or temporary factions/towns/islands to transfer progress, value, or points.
  • Arranging team membership or claim changes to transfer earned score or artificially increase rankings.
  • Coordinating with another player or group to intentionally feed points, wins, kills, resources, claims, spawners, or other progression for ranking purposes.
  • Buying, selling, transferring, pooling, or negotiating earned Party/Hall of Fame points.
  • Offering or receiving items, currency, services, access, or benefits in exchange for earned points or an arranged score transfer.
  • Staged trades, refunds, circular transfers, or other disguised agreements used to manipulate leaderboards or Hall of Fame standings.

Factions: spawners during active Hall of Fame

While Factions Hall of Fame is active, spawner trades and transfers between factions are prohibited, including genuine sales. Staff do not need to prove that the transfer was intended to increase a ranking.

  • You may not buy, sell, swap, gift, lend, or otherwise transfer spawners to or from players outside your own faction. Factionless players are also covered.
  • This applies to all spawner types and all forms of payment, including in-game money, ExtremeCraft Coins, items, services, and free transfers.
  • The restriction applies through player trades, player-run shops, auctions, bulk deals, drops, chests, and other transfer methods.
  • Using an intermediary or factionless player does not create an exemption.
  • Spawners belonging to one faction may not be moved to another through players joining or leaving factions. A membership change does not exempt that transfer.
  • Staged raids, agreed access, or arranged collection used to hand over spawners are prohibited.

Allowed: normal internal use and sharing within your faction, purchases from server-owned shops, earned server rewards, and spawners obtained through genuine raiding. These exceptions do not permit disguised transfers between factions.

Outside active Factions Hall of Fame, normal spawner trading is allowed, subject to the other rules.

Notes:

  • Earned Party/Hall of Fame points are not tradable, sellable, buyable, or transferable. Paying something in return does not make a prohibited arrangement legitimate.
  • Normal trading of blocks, resources, gear, currency, and services remains allowed, provided it is not a disguised arrangement to feed or transfer score.
  • Normal spawner trading is allowed except where the active Factions Hall of Fame restriction above applies. Buying an otherwise permitted item that contributes value when placed is not, by itself, boosting.
  • A score increase, team change, or bulk purchase alone is not proof of boosting. Staff must establish a prohibited arrangement or, for the active Factions spawner restriction, a prohibited transfer.

Multiple Accounts

Using multiple accounts is not allowed. This creates unfair advantages, enables abuse such as ban evasion or reward duplication, and makes it harder for staff to enforce rules fairly.

Server Reset / Wipe Compensation

If a server is reset, players may be eligible for compensation for certain consumable CoinShop purchases made for that server, such as keys, temporary boosts, or similar one-time items.

Coins are never eligible for compensation because they are a global currency and are not wiped.

Permanent group purchases, such as ranks or permanent account upgrades, are also not affected by wipes.

Compensation is based on one applicable purchase window only:

  • If Hall of Fame is active at the time of reset, only eligible consumable purchases made after the end of the previous Hall of Fame will qualify.
  • If Hall of Fame is not active at the time of reset, or has already ended, only eligible consumable purchases made within the 14 days before the reset will qualify.

These two windows do not stack. Only the single window that applies at the time of reset will be used.

Compensation is based solely on server payment records and purchase logs. The following are not eligible:

  • Refunded or chargebacked purchases
  • Purchases already compensated in a previous reset
  • Items transferred, traded, dropped, gifted, or claimed by another player
  • Purchases staff believe were abusive or intended to exploit the compensation system

Compensation is granted to the original purchaser only, once per reset, and may be given as the original item or an equivalent replacement if the original is no longer available.

Staff have the final decision on compensation eligibility based on store records, item type, and abuse prevention.

Real Currency Trading

This section covers trades involving real-world money or anything of real-world value instead of normal in-game trading.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Trading real money for in-game currency or items
  • Using external payment platforms such as Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or similar services for server-related trades
  • Trading in-game goods for gift cards, crypto, accounts, or real-world goods and services

Fair use exception:

Non-commercial systems that use only free, in-server rewards and are funded entirely by server-issued resources may be allowed, provided that no real money is involved at any stage.

Screensharing

If a player is suspected of cheating or breaking rules and the evidence is unclear or disputed, staff may offer a screenshare to help clarify the situation.

You may refuse a screenshare, but refusal will usually be treated as an admission of guilt. If you agree to a screenshare, full cooperation is expected. Attempts to hide, delete, avoid, or interfere with evidence may be treated as a serious offence.

Other

We reserve the right to decide what qualifies as an offence and to take appropriate action where needed, including in cases not specifically listed above.

Staff decisions are based on context, intent, severity, and fairness. Use common sense, play fairly, and ask for clarification when needed.
