Official Rules

These rules keep Bucketry fair and fun for everyone. If you are unsure about any rule, open a support ticket on Discord or message a staff member there or on the server.

General principle: use common sense and good judgment. If something seems like it could be against the rules but isn’t explicitly listed, assume it may still be prohibited.

Server rules

1. No griefing. Interfering with other players’ belongings, whether by destroying blocks, placing harmful substances like lava or water, or any other kind of modification, is strictly prohibited, whether the property is claimed or unclaimed. Ask staff before deciding that an unclaimed area can be modified.
2. No advertising or self-promotion. Discussing other servers, posting irrelevant links, or any form of self-promotion is not allowed.
3. No alternative accounts. Using multiple accounts to bypass bans or gain advantages is prohibited.
4. No spamming. Repetitive messages, excessive shouting, or other disruptive behavior in chat is not allowed.
5. Fair play.
   • No cheating or bug abuse. Report any exploits or glitches immediately. Failing to report them, or exploiting them for personal gain, is grounds for a ban.
   • No modified clients that give an unfair advantage. This includes hacks like x-ray, blinking, reach and similar. Mini-map and waypoint mods are permitted.
6. Respectful behavior.
   • Discriminatory behavior, slander, or any form of toxicity, even subtle, will not be tolerated.
   • Engage with others respectfully and mind your tone.
7. No TP trapping. Creating traps that teleport players into unavoidable harm is forbidden.
8. Active gameplay. Don’t use AFK methods to gain in-game benefits such as money or resources. We encourage active participation and gameplay.
9. No evading mutes. Trying to get around a mute by communicating through other channels will result in a longer mute or a ban.

Discord rules

1. Content restrictions. Discussing other servers, promoting unrelated content, or any off-topic self-promotion is not allowed.
2. Community interaction.
   • No spamming or command abuse. Use bot commands responsibly.
   • Respectful communication. No harassment, racism, bigotry, sexism, or repeated slander.
3. Safety and privacy.
   • Do not behave in ways that make other users feel unsafe. Harassing others, especially through direct messages, is strictly prohibited.

Enforcement and penalties

• Breaking these rules may result in a range of penalties, from a mute up to a permanent ban, including IP blocks.
• We enforce these rules without prior contact, and staff leniency should not be mistaken for tolerance.

If you are banned

There is no guarantee that we will discuss your ban. In most cases, especially severe ones, staff will not engage in discussions about your ban. If the ban is short-term, a discussion may be possible, but for extreme cases, or if you have been persistently unpleasant or disruptive, we will not take the time to address your concerns.

You can submit an appeal at bans.bucketry.net.
