Server Rules
Global
There are two options for requesting support:
#create-a-ticket in Discord, clicking support, and then writing your issue in detail
Email staff@torrentsmp.com, the Torrent contact email
The use of hack clients such as Wurst, Toolbox, Meteor, or Lunar (for its hacks), etc. is strictly prohibited. We also don't allow X-ray/MRI, exploitation of bugs or glitches, or any other use of hacks to manipulate the game to gain an unfair advantage. In #bot-commands in our Discord server, run the command !mods to see what mods are allowed and which ones aren't.
If you find a bug, vulnerability or exploit on any of our servers, report it to staff and do not abuse it.
Anything that is illegal in real life is strictly prohibited on Torrent Network or any of our related platforms. This includes making threats, insinuating you are committing a crime even as a joke, or breaking privacy laws.
Doxxing or revealing confidential personal information about another member or anyone for that matter is strictly disallowed. People have a right to remain anonymous on the internet. If someone has bad op sec and it is easy to find out who they are, privately tell them and don't reveal it to anyone else.
Do not harrass or be creepy to another player. If someone tells you to leave them alone, you don't need to get the last word.
Do not start inflammatory conversations or treat this platform like a place to be a toxic troll. Civil political conversations are okay, and we encourage open conversation within reason. The admins of Torrent Network do not take any political stance left, right, or center. However, if your idea of a political conversation is to insult someone's beliefs, religion, sexuality, or gender, take it someplace else.
Do not advertise a service, product, Discord or Minecraft server, or website on any of our platforms. This includes our Discord or Minecraft servers. We will assume you're just here to solicit our members and ban you.
Do not argue with staff members. If a staff member (Developer, Associate, Moderator, Admin or Owner) tells you to do something or stop doing something, don't argue with them. If a punishment is leveyed against you that you don't agree with, go to #create-a-ticket in our Discord and click appeal, then make your case there. If by chance you have an actual case, it could be taken to the Torrent District Court for proceedings. Players have won cases against staff in court.
Posting any NSFW content on our platforms, including but not limited to drawings, animations, links, or pornographic images, is strictly prohibited. There could be children viewing said material you post.
Do not spam in chat or in Discord. Similar messages repeated over and over, begging for help, or just posting chats in quick succession is all considered spam.
No duplication of items except for tnt dupers with explicit permission from admins. If you have a question about duping beyond that, ask in #questions.
Do not ping people unnecessarily. If you have an issue, whether it be support or reporting a rule-breaker, use #create-a-ticket. Do not DM JerichoTorrent for support. His DMs get flooded enough.
Survival
General:
1. No griefing. Do not destroy terrain, grief unclaimed builds, or abuse land claim trust to grief a build. If it isn’t your build or claim, leave it alone.
2. No stealing. This includes anything owned by another player. If it isn’t labeled “free items” or “take what you need” or something similar, and isn’t yours, then leave it alone. We can audit inventories to know who the rightful owner is.
5. Play with integrity. If you make a deal with someone to trade or provide a service, honor it. This also applies to buying in shops.
6. Don’t attack or kill other players unless both parties have agreed to PVP.
7. Don’t kill named or trapped hostile mobs, animals inside enclosures, or pets owned by another player.
8. Clean up behind yourself. Don't leave creeper holes, scaffolding, or temporary structures everywhere. Don’t leave floating trees or only remove a few logs from them. Farm the entire tree and replant it, unless you’re clearing space for a build.
9. Don’t mess with another player’s redstone machines or farms. If you’ve been given access to a machine or farm, use it as intended and replant seeds or replace raw materials that you use.
10. When obtaining your first elytra on the server, use one of the gateways in the negative X direction and continue traveling that way to find one. After obtaining that elytra, return back and travel in the positive X direction to obtain a backup elytra. Obtaining elytras are capped at 2 every 2 weeks per a custom plugin.
11. No more than 70 passive mobs or villagers per base or player-owned area. Too many mobs in one area causes lag.
12. Build hostile mob killing chambers with a 2x2 hole so that entity cramming can thin out excessive amounts of hostile mobs to reduce lag.
Building:
13. Do not build within 300 blocks of spawn, 300 blocks from the nether hub on the nether roof (except for building paths,) or on the main end island at all. This includes bridging from the main end island over the void; don’t do it, use a gateway. Ask for permission if you have a build in mind in these areas.
14. Building within the existing districts requires permission unless at least 100 blocks away from the outermost build.
15. Don’t build near other player-bases without permission. Give people some room or ask to be neighbors. Just because a land claim hasn’t been created doesn’t mean that it’s okay.
16. Do not build thematically inconsistent or ugly builds. Observe the building style and zoning ordinances of the town or district you are building in. Never build a giant cobblestone monstrosity. Build with a variety of blocks, geometry, and depth. Using one type of block or shape for an entire build ends up looking ugly and lazy. Limit the size of your builds to that which can be detailed effectively.
Shops:
Players are encouraged to build a shop of specific item types in the Shopping District once earning the rank “Builder” by proving their building ability. Ask a mod to review a build. Applying to be approved for a shop can involve drawing something, showing a build on the creative server, or showing your building skills at your own base. Shops should be built in a modern-fantasy style.
17. Elytra shops are not allowed.
18. Keep your shop stocked. If you do not keep your stop shocked for 30 days, the building will be leased at auction. For another 30 days, the new shop owner will only be able to edit chests. After that, the entire building ownership will go to the new player.
19. Build a shop for a specific item or related item types. General stores are not allowed, as we already have a vendor-based supermarket and a mini-mart with diamond trades.
20. Try to match the height requirement of the other shops in the Shopping District.
Land Claims:
21. Only claim land where you intend to build. If you don’t build there after 30 days, it will be removed.
22. Don’t spam claims everywhere. If we believe you are abusing this feature, we will revoke all claim blocks.
23. Don’t claim land right next to another player without permission. Ask them if it’s okay as they may want to build there.
Redstone:
24. Do not ever build a lag machine. If you have an idea for an EoL or heavy tps draining farm, ask an admin and pitch the idea. Test it in your own world or server with carpet mod to determine how it will affect the server performance and report back to admins.
25. For any farm, storage system, or other redstone contraption or farm please consider how much server lag and CPU usage you are causing by running it. If your system contains an exorbitant amount of hoppers and chests, please cut down on them by using water streams or limiting the flow of items where applicable. If your machine is bleeding edge or absurdly large, please consult the mod or admin team.
26. Chunk loaders require permission to be used. We need to know a) what farms/machines will be running in the loaded chunks and b) why this requires a chunk loader. The chunk loader also must have either an off switch or an automatic shut-off mechanism when storage is full.
These rules are subject to change at any times without warning. Please periodically check in to see if anything has changed.
Creative
Do not build a lag machine. You will instantly have all plot privileges removed if you intentionally try to lag the server and it could lead to a network-wide ban.
If you try to manipulate NBT data, abuse the creative inventory with a hacked client, or any other nefarious use of our systems, you could be banned from the whole network.
If you are given trust to build in someone's plot, don't abuse it! Don't ruin their build.
Do not attempt to get elevated permissions. World Edit is only given out to our builders.
Lifesteal
Leave the toxicity on 2b2t or another full-anarchy server. This is not a place to be a toxic troll.
The construction of offensive structures, including but not limited to swastikas, anatomical imagery, extremist political symbols, and spelling out offensive words is strictly prohibited.
Abuse of redstone machines to lag the server will lead to a ban. Furthermore, limit your redstone farms so they do not drop server TPS while running. To do this, limit hoppers as much as you can, for cover the tops of them so they are not constantly ticking. Use water streams where applicable instead of long hopper lines. Use off switches or automatic shutoffs.
Using alts to farm hearts is strictly prohibited and it will lead to ALL of your accounts being banned.
Use social etiquette and read the room. Do not harrass, bully, or be creepy to another player.
Do not use blacklisted modifications. Use common sense here, but anything including or similar to the following is banned:
Wurst
Meteor
Toolbox
X-ray/MRI texture packs
Macros/auto-clickers
Baritone
Combat mods
Anything with flight, nuke, click-tp, jesus, etc.
You are allowed to use performance mods like those that end in -ium, and many more. We don't want to limit your gameplay experience, but don't use hacks.
Do not be toxic in the chat. No spamming the N word or starting inflammatory conversations when people are just trying to chill and have fun.
Do not use our platform to advertise your own server, Discord, social media, or website. You will be seen as a solicitor and it could lead to a ban.
If an associate, moderator, or above informs you that you are breaking the rules, just stop what you are doing and listen. Don't argue with us. If you feel you are being unjustly punished, just use #create-a-ticket in Discord where we can discuss it.
When engaging in combat, fight fairly. Combat logging, AKA leaving the server during combat, is not allowed. One instance of combat logging will result in a heart forcibly taken from you. Multiple instances could lead to an early elimination.
Do not engage in inappropriate conversations with minors. Do not try to communicate with minors privately or outside of the server.
Abusing a bug in our configuration that is completely unintended is against the rules. You are expected to report all bugs in the Discord server, or to an online moderator.
Exposing the personal information of another user against their will, colloquially known as "doxing" is strictly against the rules. Because you cannot "undox" someone, the punishment for this violation is severe.
Exploiting a mechanic, such as our economy, duplication of items, or other methods to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited. Even if it is a Vanilla mechanic like gravity block duplication, it is against the server rules.
Scamming a player with in-game currency, or making the promise of in-game items for other in-game items, is not moderated by the server moderators. However, trading in-game items for real-life currency is strictly prohibited. You could be opening yourself up to serious liabilities. We are not a 3rd party merchant so we do NOT support the sale of virtual items for real currency. Scamming will lead to a ban and much more severe action taken.
SkyFactions
