Gameplay Rules
Any unintentional gameplay mechanic that gives a unfair advantage is not allowed. If a player finds a bug, fails to report it, and uses it to gain an advantage over other players, they will be punished severely.
Any player who finds and reports a valid bug which later leads to a resolution by the server Developers or Administrators will be rewarded in-game. This reward will be proportionate to the significance of the bug. The player can win everything from in game currency, to donator ranks!
No Hacking (Hacked Clients or Otherwise)
This rule is self-explanatory. Anything that breaks vanilla Minecraft and gives unfair advantages is strictly not allowed. The only mods allowed are ones that improve Minecraft fairly, such as minimaps, shaders, ambient sounds, and performance enhancers. If a player is using a hacked client they will be punished severely. Simply do not log into StoneHeart with one of these clients, we have mechanisms in place to detect these.
Any attempt to compromise the security of StoneHeart services will result in a permanent ban with no right to appeal.

We keep anything and everything beautiful on StoneHeart. This includes the landscape and player creations. Any attempt to destroy or degrade the beauty of the server map is seen as griefing. Exploiting through player protections or intentionally destroying surrounding landscapes is seen as direct griefing and will be punished.
Player negligence such as cobblestone pillars, random blocks all over, torch spam, or floating trees is also not allowed. If caught the player will receive a warning, followed by a suspension. Please do your part in making sure we have a map worth exploring!
Observe Rules for Auto-farms
Any player farm that results in a lowering of FPS or server TPS is seen as a lag machine and will be removed. Players MUST never build their farms around entity cramming or highly complex redstone machines that produce lag. Be smart, and be resourceful. If you have mobs, kill them to allow the server to recycle resources.
Administrators reserve the right to remove any machines which generate lag or otherwise compromise the server’s performance without compensation. If these are found to be intentional, you will be permanently banned without the right to appeal.
Keep Space between Protections
To allow healthy gameplay, please try to keep distance between you and your neighbors. When creating a protection claim please keep +100 blocks separating the claims as a courteous. You are only allowed to build close when they give you consent to do so.
Observe Regulations for Shops and Towns
Player towns & shops are able to create rules and regulations of their own. If you buy a plot in a player's town, follow their laws. If you create a shop, you must be mindful of entity cramming with chestshops. Keep things civil and orderly.
Whilst shops and towns may create their own regulations, they are not exempt to any of the rules listed here unless granted a special exception by the Administrators.
AFK: Standing for away from keyboard, means a player is no longer at their computer or device.
StoneHeart allows players to AFK as long as they follow the rules below.
1. Absolutely no AFK prevention: If you are actively trying to trick the server into not flagging AFK with macros, machines, or mechanics, you are cheating. Simply do not do this.
2. Macro / scripts are not allowed. This is botting, which is seen is cheating. If you want to AFK your farms, make them automated. There are no exceptions.
3. Having alt accounts AFKing is acceptable as long as they aren't trying to bypass flags or creating macros / scripts.
Intentional infractions of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent suspension from some, or all of StoneHeart's services.
Chat Rules
No Spamming, Advertising, Toxicity, Harassment, or Inappropriate Discussions
We like to keep our chat channels clean and readable. Think before you speak, and be mindful that all ages are allowed in public chat channels. Any sort of hate speech or obscene chat will be punished. Spamming, using caps too much, and trying to evade chat filters is also not allowed.
You are not allowed to advertise any server or service unrelated to StoneHeart. This includes Minecraft, Discord, Forums, and websites.
Asking for ranks, or items is not allowed. You will not receive anything for free. If you are a victim of a bug or exploit, please send staff a ticket with what you are missing. Do NOT ask through chat.
