OneSMP Rules

OneSMP’s rules are not here to police creativity. They exist to protect the kind of community we are building.

We want players who want structure, fairness, and respect. These rules help keep out people who clearly do not want to be here, and they give us a transparent standard when behavior crosses the line. The goal is simple: keep things fair so we can focus on building, exploring, and having fun together.

OneSMP is designed for a mature audience. All players are expected to behave respectfully, use appropriate language, and contribute positively to the community.

OneSMP is an 18+ English-speaking community for both Discord and Minecraft. Respect and common sense apply everywhere in our community.

In-Game Rules

1. Play Fair

We all work hard for what we achieve here. Cheating undermines everyone’s accomplishments. Play fair so that every milestone on OneSMP is something we can all be proud of.

• No hacked clients, dupes, x-ray, exploits, or tools that give an unfair advantage or harm the server or players.
• No alternate accounts to gain unfair advantage or bypass punishment.
• Punishments apply to the account regardless of who was using it.
• Exploiting plugin features is prohibited.

2. Be Respectful

Keep the community friendly and welcoming. Prevent harassment, slurs, and toxic behavior.

• No slurs, harassment, targeted attacks, baiting, drama, spam, or behavior that worsens the experience for others.
• Freedom of speech matters, but so does keeping things respectful and fun. If it feels like it should not be said, do not say it.
• Filtered words are prohibited, including attempts to evade the filter by altering spelling or symbols.
• Keep public chat clear. Take personal or exclusive conversations to DMs or party chat when asked by staff.
• No discrimination based on traits like race, gender, or religion.
• Profanity is allowed within reason. Sensitive topics such as politics and religion are fine while respectful. Staff may end discussions that create tension.

3. Looting, Raiding, and Claims

We allow fair looting of truly abandoned, unclaimed builds while protecting active players’ work.

• You may loot from an unclaimed structure if it is clearly abandoned.
• Check for claims on all corners of a structure before looting.
• Do not damage or tear down structures unless they are truly abandoned.
• If it looks active, leave it alone. Malicious looting of active bases may be punished.
• Do not destroy public infrastructure such as railroads, highways, and nether hubs. Ask owners or staff to claim it if protection is needed.
• Be respectful with claims. Do not sprawl, claim over others, or crowd builds. Keep a fair buffer.

4. Keep the Server Running Smoothly

Limit lag-heavy builds and farms to keep gameplay stable for everyone.

• No lag machines or excessive redstone or farm lag. Staff may ask you to modify or remove builds that impact performance. Intentional lag creation is punishable.

5. Disputes and Final Authority

Staff may act on situations not directly covered by the rules if they harm the server or community.

• Staff have the final say. Not every situation can be covered by a rule, and we may act if something is harmful.
• Disputes about punishments or rules must be handled privately with staff. If you suspect abuse of power, contact an Admin or EliteNK who is not involved.

Discord Community Rules

1. Follow Discord’s Rules

All members must comply with Discord’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

• Discord Community Guidelines
• Discord Terms of Service

2. Keep It Safe for Everyone

No NSFW or gore. Avoid explicit, gory, or intentionally offensive visuals.

3. Report Problems, Do Not Start Them

Bring harassment, rule-breaking, or concerning behavior directly to staff.

• Do not handle conflicts yourself. Report privately to a moderator or admin.
• We can only help with issues we know about. Reports are handled discreetly.

4. Respect Voice and Text Channels

Keep channels comfortable and inclusive. Avoid loud noises, spam, or posting music or content without consent.

5. Do Not Share Suspicious Links or Files

Unverified links, downloads, and executables can be harmful. No phishing, grabify, or similar links.

Other Rules and Policies

• Staff will not retrieve items you lose while PvP is enabled.
• Never bypass PvP protection using traps, lava, fire, explosions, mobs, or by pushing players into hazards.
• No scamming or tricking during trades or economy transactions.
• Players should not enforce rules on others. Use /report or contact staff.
• You can be punished for actions not listed if they cause harm or disruption.
• Exploiting loopholes or gray areas is not acceptable.
• No NSFW or suggestive artwork, builds, or market items.
• Admitting to breaking rules, even as a joke, can result in punishment.
• When claiming land, do not box in or block access to others. Respect buffers around homes.
• PvP is valid only when all parties consent. Killing outside that agreement or refusing to return gear is not allowed.
• No encouragement or jokes about self-harm or suicide. Immediate moderation action will be taken.

Client Mods

• Performance mods such as Optifine and Sodium
• Minimaps: Xaero’s Fair-Play edition only, no cave mapping
• Shaders
• Inventory management mods such as automatic sort
• Recording mods such as ReplayMod
• Litematica. Schematics allowed. Auto-build is not allowed.
• Macros and scripts that perform simple key-bound actions only. No automation. You may not AFK while they run.

Not Allowed

• Any minimap that reveals caves, dungeons, or player locations not normally visible
• X-ray or any resource pack or mod that reveals hidden ores or structures
• Auto-build, auto-mining, or auto-fishing
• Any script, macro, or bot that plays the game without your direct input
• Any modification that gives an unfair advantage in PvP or resource gathering

Staying Informed

To keep OneSMP fun, fair, and safe, all players are expected to read and understand the server rules. These guidelines shape the community we build together. Rules may be updated over time, so check in periodically. Not reading or misunderstanding the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.

If you are unsure about something or if a rule feels unclear, ask staff for clarification before acting. By playing on the server and participating in our Discord, you agree to follow both the letter and the spirit of these rules.

Need help? DM a member of Staff to raise concerns or ask questions.

Thanks for being part of our community. Play fair, have fun, and be someone others look forward to playing with.
