The Rules!

Treat others with respect.
1. Do not harass any person on the server. If someone is harassing you, report it, and do not harass them back
2. It is recommended you report or "/ignore" any player you have issues with. If you are ignored or blocked, please respect the other's wishes.
3. Please use our support website (ricecakesmc.com/support) if you would like to report a player for harassment or anything that is disrupting your gameplay.
4. A warning or ban may be issued for discussing your problems with the personnel in a public place. Disrespect will not be accepted.
No griefing ANYWHERE.
1. Includes claimed land, unclaimed land, and revenge griefing.
2. Make farms, builds, and leave valuables at your own risk in the Resource World. Mass destruction of the map is also considered griefing.
Keep communications clean.
1. This includes but is not limited to: No harassment, racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, excessive swearing, excessive sexual content, hate speech, and discussing sensitive topics.
2. Sexual content includes but is not limited to: Inappropriate usernames, builds, signage, content, skins, and renamed items.

3. Any exploits that arise from bugs with any plugins or vanilla Minecraft features such as duping can not be used and must be reported.
No automation of the player.
1. This includes botting (baritone), auto-clickers, and key weights (putting a weight on your key or having your key pressed down for you in any way).
2. Farms that require you to AFK or do manual work are allowed. Fishing Machines are NOT allowed. (Even if the mouse is manually held down)
No spamming/begging/advertising.
1. Advertising in-game-related things every 30 minutes is allowed. This rule applies to both the thing/place being advertised and per person. Eg. 1 person can only advertise 1 thing every 30 minutes. 1 location such as a shop can only be advertised every 30 minutes.
2. Any links or outside advertisements are not allowed including advertising for any other servers. This includes links to external streams even if they are related to Ricecakes Minecraft.
3. Spamming includes: Excessive use of capitalization Long sentences in all caps, or continuous use of capitalization. A few messages especially short ones, are okay.
4. Identical messages or extremely similar messages. Messages that include random letters. Eg. “sdjhksdksfsdf” Do not use obfuscated, underlined, or hard-to-read colors such as dark shades of black for chat color. Bold and italics are allowed.
English only in chat
1. Our staff team cannot moderate languages outside of English, which is why we ask this. Non-English is allowed in private messages (/msg <username>).
Do not trespass on claims
1. If you repeatedly ignore the claim owner's wishes for you to leave, you may be forcibly removed and punished.
No scamming/fraud/impersonation.
1. Scamming is the misrepresentation of goods such as renaming an item to look like something else, or not honoring a trade.
2. Low-balling or high-balling are allowed. Ultimately it is up to you to know the value of an item. If you do not know the value of an item, it is recommended you do not trade at all.
3. Impersonating includes using "/nick" to pretend to be someone else.
No real-world trading
1. This includes selling or buying in-game items/money for real-world currency and assets. Trading in-game items/money for someone to buy you a rank on the store is not allowed.
2. Gifting in-game items/money and buying things in the store for others on their behalf as a gift is allowed.
No backseat modding
1. Includes regular players moderating other players' behaviors on the staff's behalf.
2. This is true if there is an active staff member dealing with the situation.
3. Eg. Telling someone to stop spamming chat, when a staff member is already talking to them about the situation.
4. If asked or allowed by the staff member, you can help. It's okay to remind players of the rules if you think they are being broken, though in general just open a ticket or find a staff member.
Do not evade punishments in any way.
1. Joining with alt accounts after you have previously been banned will result in an escalation of your ban length. Do not use signs or books to avoid being muted in chat.
2. Do not join Discord to talk about how you’ve been banned in the main #chat channel.
3. You are allowed to file a ticket on our website (ricecakesmc.com/support) if you believe the ban is/was unfair.
Lag Rules
1. Machines built must be as useful and efficient as possible to not cause any unnecessary lag. If possible, machines that run constantly and don’t produce anything useful should be turned off when not in use.
