Server rules

This is a PvP server: fighting, raiding and trash talk are part of it. The rules below exist to keep the fight fair and the server online.

Allowed

PvP, raiding, trapping and griefing builds inside the PvP world.
Optifine, shaders, PvP texture packs, and the client mods listed on the downloads page.
Teams, alliances and betrayals. Nothing is permanent.

Not allowed

Cheating clients — killaura, reach, fly, speed, timer, anti-knockback, auto-clickers, scaffold, x-ray, or any packet manipulation.
Exploiting bugs — duplication, chunk-overwrite, nether-roof abuse, or anything that survives a restart. Report it in Discord instead; reports are rewarded.
Alt-account evasion — using a second account to dodge a ban extends the ban to every account you control.
Server attacks — bot spam, packet floods, crash attempts or probing services other than the Minecraft port.
Real-world harm — doxxing, threats, slurs, or targeting players outside the game. Zero tolerance.
Advertising — other servers, Discords or shops in chat without permission.

Enforcement

DawGuard walks every movement tick through the vanilla 1.8 model (gravity, drag, acceleration, ice, slabs, stairs, ladders, water, knockback). Legitimate movement stays at zero violations; deviations accumulate in a buffer and kick at the configured level. Violations decay over time so a lag spike is not a ban.

First automated kick: no appeal needed, just rejoin.
Repeat flags: temporary ban, logged with timestamps.
Confirmed cheat clients or exploits: permanent ban.

Appeals

Open a ticket in the community Discord with your username, the approximate time, and what you were doing. Staff can pull the violation log for that session.
