Server Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are the supreme code established for the purpose of ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all users of the Minecraft server, Discord, and Open Chat (hereinafter collectively referred to as "this Server") provided by Rearth Server, as well as clarifying the gameplay and code of conduct on this Server. In principle, these terms do not apply outside of this Server. Rearth Server is operated on a non-profit basis using funds from the operational staff.

Article 1: Prohibited Actions

Users must not engage in the following actions.

1.Aggressive/Inappropriate Remarks

Prohibits speech and behavior that hurts others (verbal abuse, slander, defamation, discriminatory remarks, sexual remarks, inflammatory remarks), behavior that inconveniences others, and behavior that intentionally damages the reputation of this Server using false or exaggerated information. The use of terms separately designated by the staff is strictly forbidden (See *1).

2.Invasion of Privacy

Prohibits disclosing others' personal information without their permission, actions that infringe on third-party privacy, and impersonating others. This also includes

  • Sending screenshots, etc., of other players' messages to services provided by this Server (Discord, etc.) without their permission.
  • Disclosing the content of private messages (/msg, /tell, etc.) without the person's permission.
3.Inappropriate Expressions

7.Malicious Mentions

Prohibits the excessive use of mentions without an emergency or legitimate reason, or immediately deleting a message after mentioning someone. This also includes notifications via the reply function.

8.Excessive Harassment

Prohibits persistent or obstructive behavior that interferes with others' play. It is especially considered a violation if the behavior continues despite a warning from the involved party.

9.Unfair Advantages (Exploits)

Prohibits actions that gain an unintended advantage, such as using exploits, technical loopholes, glitches, using clients or MODs not permitted by this Server, or using automation tools (macros, etc.). "Glitches" here refer to using specifications (bugs or flaws) not anticipated by the staff and not explicitly permitted.

10.Cheating

 Prohibits the use of unfair tools that significantly compromise fairness, such as X-Ray (vision cheats), Fly Hacks (movement cheats), Kill Aura (PvP assist cheats), etc.

11.Causing High Server Load

Prohibits actions that place an excessive load on the server, such as installing large-scale Redstone circuits, large-scale terrain generation with lava or water (lava casts, etc.). If unsure, consult the staff in advance.

12.RMT (Real Money Trading)

Prohibits trading in-game items or services for real-world currency, or soliciting such trades.

13.Evading AFK Kick

The server automatically kicks players after 20 minutes of inactivity. Prohibits facilities or actions intended to evade this. The creator of such facilities may also be subject to penalties.

14.Inappropriate Skins

Prohibits the use of skins that cause discomfort to others, transparent/translucent skins, or deformed skins such as 4D skins.

15.Condoning/Encouraging Violations

Prohibits ignoring and not reporting another's violation while aware of it, or encouraging/assisting in violating behavior.

16.Uncooperative Attitude Towards Staff

Users must immediately comply with warnings and recommendations from the staff. Actions that seek loopholes in the terms are not justified. Objections to the terms or staff decisions must be made in the designated location (e.g., support server), and assertions in other locations are prohibited.

Article 2: Account Rules

1.Prohibition of Lending/Transferring Accounts

Prohibits lending or transferring one's own account to others for any reason.

2.Prohibition of Bot Usage

Prohibits users from having bots join this Server.

3.Connection Restrictions

Prohibits connections using VPNs or proxies, and connecting with multiple accounts by the same person. If family members or cohabitants play with separate accounts, they must report this to the staff via the support server in advance. Family account applications from users who have been banned (unless the ban reason was unauthorized use of a sub-account) will not be accepted.

4.Sub-Account Use by Certified Streamers

Only staff-certified streamers are permitted to use sub-accounts under the following conditions

  • Video recording or streaming must be done on the pre-registered main account.
  • Prohibits using a sub-account to gain an advantage in the game (e.g., receiving Vote rewards twice, performing tasks in parallel).
  • Must report to the staff each time recording or streaming is done on the main account.
  • Violation of the above may result in penalties for both accounts and revocation of certification.

Chapter 2: In-Game Rules

This chapter defines specific codes of conduct within the Minecraft server.

Article 1: Town, Nation, and Territory Rules

1.Administrator Responsibility

Town administrators (King, CoKing, Mayor, CoMayor, Assistant, etc.) must fully understand the contents of Section 6 of this article and are responsible for permission settings. The staff provides no compensation for theft resulting from inadequate permission settings.

2.Town/Nation Names

Town and nation names and tags must be in English alphabet, and no symbols other than hyphens (-) and underscores (_) are allowed. Prohibits names containing inappropriate content (per Chapter 1, Article 1, Section 3), names confusingly similar to existing towns/nations, or names for advertising purposes.

3.Malicious Territory Acquisition

Prohibits acquiring territory or establishing towns intended to obstruct the territorial expansion of other nations/towns as harassment. Furthermore, surrounding specific areas established by the staff or intentionally leaving gaps in territory acquisition is considered "enclave" (detached) territory acquisition.

4.Territory Expansion Restrictions
  • "Claim arms" (arm-shaped territories) are restricted to 3 chunks wide and 3 chunks long, and branching them is prohibited. 
  • Acquiring sea territory is prohibited. Acquiring territory not connected to the mainland (enclaves) is also prohibited. Territory must be acquired continuously over land.

[Special Provisions for Life Server]

  • Claim arms exceeding 3 chunks in width are permitted only for protecting infrastructure (roads, railways, canals) but must not be used for territorial expansion. 
  • Expanding territory from existing land territory onto the sea is permitted only when protecting decorative structures (e.g., ships).
  • Only when there is no more expandable land on an isolated island, expanding territory linearly to the nearest other landmass is permitted. However, this must not be used to obstruct the expansion of other towns.
5.Large-Scale Landscape Alteration

Prohibits actions that significantly damage the natural landscape (e.g., large-scale water removal, creation of artificial islands).

6.Joining Towns for Unjust Reasons
  • Prohibits joining a town for the purpose of theft. However, this does not apply if the town is set to allow anyone to join freely (Open).
  • Joining a town for the purpose of griefing is entirely prohibited, regardless of the town's join settings (Open, Invite-only, etc.).
7.Dealing with Exiled Town Members

Town administrators can exile members who do not follow humanitarian rules. In doing so, they must give the exiled person an opportunity to retrieve their items and a grace period to dismantle their structures. Only if the exiled person fails to comply may their structures be dismantled and items removed. However, if malicious behavior is the cause of exile, all property of the member becomes the property of the town.

Article 2: Player Conduct Rules

1.Self-Management of Resources

Users are responsible for managing their own assets, such as storing valuables in Ender Chests or personal plots.

2.Theft

Prohibits theft within personal plots, and theft of residents' resources by town administrators or those with 'Trust' permissions. Inviting others to a town for the purpose of theft and then immediately exiling them is also prohibited.

3.Harassment (Griefing)

Prohibits malicious harassment (griefing), such as chaotically placing/destroying blocks, or indiscriminately placing water or lava. This prohibition applies even if the town's permission settings are inadequate. Furthermore, actions within 3 chunks of wilderness adjacent to a territory are treated the same as actions within the territory.

4.Setting Traps

  • Plagiarizing map art created by others by using a map at the location, or obstructing its creation, is prohibited.

Article 5: Regulation of Structures/Specifications at Staff Discretion 

For structures used in ways unforeseen by the staff, or structures/devices that cause or may cause excessive load on the server, the staff may, at their discretion, prohibit their use or remove them without prior notice. This applies even to things that were previously permitted or had no clear regulations, if problems are later discovered. Users are strongly encouraged to consult the staff in advance, especially when building large-scale or special devices. Regardless of prior permission, if problems are confirmed during operation, measures such as usage restrictions or removal may be taken at the staff's discretion.

1.Compensation

[Special Provisions for Life Server]

In cases of griefing or theft, items will be returned to the victim only if they are recovered from the violator. If unrecoverable, compensation will be made with items of equivalent value from the violator's possessions.

Item compensation will not be provided for any reason whatsoever.

2.Rollback Process
  • In the event of large-scale griefing, a rollback process may be performed to restore the affected area to its state before the incident.
