Rules

Short version: don't cheat, don't be cruel, and keep real life out of the game. Staff decisions are final in the moment — if you think one was wrong, appeal it rather than argue in chat.

1 The basics

  1. 1.1

    One account per person.

    Alt accounts used to dodge a punishment, farm rewards, or vote twice will get every linked account banned.

  2. 1.2

    Play fair or don't play.

    If a thing feels like it shouldn't work, it probably shouldn't. Report it instead of using it.

  3. 1.3

    Follow staff instructions.

    You can disagree. Do it through an appeal, not by arguing in chat or ignoring the instruction.

  4. 1.4

    Not knowing a rule is not a defence.

    This page is the whole list. It takes five minutes to read.

2 Chat and behaviour

  1. 2.1

    No slurs, harassment, or hate speech.

    Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and similar are an instant permanent ban. No warnings, no appeals for a first offence.

  2. 2.2

    No sexual content, and nothing sexual involving minors under any framing.

    Reported to the platform as well as banned.

  3. 2.3

    Don't share anyone's personal information.

    Real names, addresses, schools, workplaces, photos, phone numbers. Yours or anyone else's.

  4. 2.4

    No advertising other servers or selling anything for real money.

    This includes trading in-game items for real cash, gift cards, or accounts.

  5. 2.5

    Keep real-life drugs out of it.

    Streets is fiction, the same way a heist film is fiction. Discussing real drugs, sourcing them, or using the server to arrange anything real is a permanent ban and gets reported.

  6. 2.6

    Threats of violence and encouraging self-harm are permanent bans.

    If someone tells you they're in trouble, don't handle it alone — tell a staff member.

  7. 2.7

    Don't spam, flood, or use chat clients that automate messages.

3 Fair play

  1. 3.1

    No hacked clients or cheat mods.

    X-ray, kill aura, reach, fly, auto-clickers, macros, ESP, and anything similar.

  2. 3.2

    Allowed mods: performance mods, minimaps without entity radar, Litematica, and cosmetic packs.

    If you're not sure whether a mod is allowed, ask in Discord before you use it.

  3. 3.3

    Report bugs and duplication glitches instead of using them.

    Finding a duping bug and reporting it gets you a reward. Using it gets you a rollback and a ban.

  4. 3.4

    No AFK farms or machines designed to defeat the AFK check.

  5. 3.5

    Don't lag the server on purpose.

    Huge redstone clocks, entity stacking, chunk-loading tricks. Staff will remove them without warning.

4 Building and land

  1. 4.1

    Claim your land. Unclaimed builds are not protected.

    Staff will not roll back grief on unclaimed land. This is the rule people most often learn the hard way.

  2. 4.2

    No griefing, stealing, or destroying claimed builds.

  3. 4.3

    Don't build offensive structures or skins.

    Hate symbols, sexual builds, and anything designed to upset people.

  4. 4.4

    Don't build right up against someone else's base without asking.

    Leave reasonable space. "Reasonable" is a staff judgement call.

5 Streets

  1. 5.1

    Everything in Streets is roleplay and stays in Streets.

    Rivalries, robberies, and betrayals are part of the mode. Carrying them into real harassment is not.

  2. 5.2

    Stealing, ambushing, and scamming are allowed inside Streets.

    This is the one gamemode where they are. Don't bring these tactics to Survival.

  3. 5.3

    No real-money trading of in-game cash, crews, or turf.

  4. 5.4

    Don't use crew mechanics to organise harassment of one player.

    Targeting a player repeatedly across sessions until they stop playing is bullying, not roleplay.

  5. 5.5

    Police roles are staff-assigned and can be taken away.

6 Punishments

  1. 6.1

    Most punishments follow a ladder: warning, mute, temporary ban, permanent ban.

    Serious rules skip the ladder entirely. Those are marked in the sections above.

  2. 6.2

    Ban evasion resets and extends the original punishment.

  3. 6.3

    You can appeal any punishment once.

    Appeals go through Discord. Be honest — staff can see the logs, and a straight admission gets a shorter ban far more often than a denial.

  4. 6.4

    Purchases are not refunded when you are banned.

    Buying a rank does not buy an exception to any rule on this page.
