PLAY FAIR.
Clear rules make better adventures. Know what's allowed, look out for other players, and help keep RedwoodSMP a place worth playing.
01 COMMUNITY & CONDUCT
Respect the community
Treat other players and staff respectfully. Harassment, hate speech, personal threats, and targeted bullying are not acceptable.
Keep communication appropriate
No spamming, flooding, offensive messages, or deliberately disruptive chat behavior.
Follow staff instructions
Cooperate with staff when they investigate reports or enforce the rules. Use Discord for respectful appeals.
02 BUILDING & PROPERTY
No griefing
Do not destroy, modify, burn, or otherwise damage builds or property that are not yours.
No stealing
Do not take another player’s items, supplies, or resources from their builds, chests, or protected areas without permission.
Respect player claims
Do not intentionally bypass protections, abuse claim boundaries, or interfere with another player’s protected area.
03 PVP & COMBAT
PvP outside protected areas
Combat is allowed only where the server permits it. Protected areas and safe zones are not PvP arenas.
No spawn killing or harassment
Do not repeatedly target, trap, or kill the same player to prevent them from playing normally.
No combat logging
Do not disconnect or exploit server behavior to escape an active fight or avoid its consequences.
Restricted PvP methods
End crystals and TNT minecarts are not allowed as PvP weapons.
Legitimate kill loot
Items dropped from a legitimate PvP kill may be kept, provided no other server rule was broken.
04 CHEATING & EXPLOITS
No unfair clients or tools
Hacked clients, autoclickers, gameplay-automating macros, and other unfair combat or gameplay advantages are prohibited.
No dupes or bug abuse
Do not use duplication glitches, economy exploits, or unintended bugs for an advantage. Report any discovered exploits to staff.
No protection bypasses
Do not use bugs, alternate accounts, or other methods to circumvent protections, restrictions, or punishments.
Exploit-generated items
Items or money gained through exploits may be removed, even if they have been transferred to another player.
05 ECONOMY & TRADING
No economy abuse
Do not exploit shops, auctions, trades, bounties, or other money-making systems through bugs or unintended mechanics.
Keep trades legitimate
Do not use duplication, bypasses, or fraudulent game mechanics to obtain or move in-game items and money.
06 FARMS & SPAWNERS
20 spawners per base
A base may contain a maximum of 20 spawners. You may not bypass this cap using alternate accounts or nearby connected bases.
No lag machines
Do not build machinery, farms, entities, or redstone systems designed to lag, crash, or harm server performance.
No automated AFK farming
Farming that uses prohibited automation or AFK methods to accumulate resources without active gameplay is not permitted.
07 ENFORCEMENT & REPORTS
Report problems to staff
Use the Discord community to report serious rule-breaking, dupes, and other issues. Provide evidence where possible.
Punishments vary by severity
Actions may include warnings, mutes, item or currency removal, restrictions, temporary bans, or permanent bans.
Serious violations
Severe cheating, exploits, or repeated violations may result in immediate action without a prior warning.
