HyperBlocks SMP, Server Rules

Playing on the server implies acceptance of all rules.

Rules may change at any time without notice. Continued play means you agree to all rules. The page at https://shop.hypershop.vip/Rules is the official and most current version of the rules. Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as a defense.

1) Chat & Conduct

Language: English only in global chat.

Respect: No harassment, hate speech, sexual content, stalking, threats, or toxicity.

Spam & Advertising: No spam, flooding, or excessive self-promotion.

Promotions: No advertising other servers, Discords, websites, or social media. HyperBlocks-related links only unless staff-approved.

Begging: One polite request is fine. Repeated begging may result in mutes or bans.

Swearing: Light profanity is allowed. No slurs, sexual content, or personal attacks.

Privacy: Staff may review muted messages, signs, books, and similar forms of communication.

Factions, Clans, Groups & Recruitment

One invite or friendly ask is fine. Repeated messages after a “no” or no response are considered harassment.

No pressuring or guilt-tripping players to join groups.

No forming groups to isolate, intimidate, or target players.

If a group causes disruption or rule violations, all members may be held accountable.

2) Economy & Trading

Scamming: Strictly forbidden.

Player-to-Player Trades: Trades are at your own risk. Staff will only intervene in clear cases of scamming.

3) Building, Land Claims & Griefing

Griefing: Zero-tolerance across all areas, claimed or unclaimed.

Claim Your Land: Always use protection claims for your builds.

Unclaimed Builds ARE Protected: No looting or altering unclaimed player structures.

Borderline Builds: Treat all nearby or partially claimed structures as fully protected.

Unclaimed Raiding Exception Removed: All player builds are protected.

Harassment & Obstruction: No terrain blocking, junk placement, lava or water dumping, or mob leading.

Camping: No base camping or intimidation tactics.

Inactive Claims: Claims expire after 60 days, but builds remain protected. Staff will determine when land may be reclaimed.

Major Destruction: No lavacasts, TNT abuse, fire spread grief, or large-scale excavation near others’ builds.

TNT Cannons / Bombers / Quarries: Any TNT cannon, TNT bomber, or automated TNT excavation machine intended to destroy terrain at scale or project TNT is prohibited.

Bottom line: If another player built it, do not touch it unless explicitly allowed.

4) Exploits & Hacks

Any method, modification, or gameplay behavior that provides an unfair advantage or bypasses intended game mechanics is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Using clients, mods, macros, or scripts that reveal hidden data, automate gameplay, or alter player interaction.
  • Accessing information about hidden structures or containers through unintended means.
  • Bypassing exploration, discovery, or in-game challenges using non-gameplay tools or input methods.
  • Exploiting glitches or unintended features to duplicate items, avoid detection, or affect gameplay balance.
  • TNT Duping: Any contraption that duplicates TNT or creates “free” primed TNT is considered duping and is strictly prohibited.

We reserve the right to penalize behavior that violates the spirit of fair gameplay, even if the method used is not explicitly named. Enforcement is based on outcome, intent, and fairness.

5) Performance & Lag Prevention

Villager Limits: Max 16 per iron farm or breeder, max 32 per trading hall.

Storage Limits: Max 240 chests per chunk.

Redstone & Machines: No chunk loaders, lag machines, or harmful automated contraptions.

Flying Machines: Any slime, honey, piston contraption that moves itself. Flying machines may not travel outside your claim, cross into or over other players’ claims or builds, or be used for long-distance travel. Any flying machine that leaves your claim may be removed and may be punished even if it “didn’t break anything.”

Lag Removal Rule: If staff determines a contraption, including a flying machine, is causing lag or instability, you must disable or remove it immediately.

6) Allowed Mods & Clients

If unsure, ask staff before using a mod or client.

Allowed Clients: Forge, Fabric, OptiFine, Lunar, Badlion.

Mapping Tools: Xaero’s Map, Litematica, no printer or automation.

Visual Tweaks: Fullbright, Gamma settings are permitted.

7) Disputes & Enforcement

Staff Authority: All decisions by staff are final.

Reporting: Use Discord to contact staff or open a ticket.

8) Towns, Governments & Organized Power Structures

Player-created towns, nations, governments, or similar systems must operate within the rules of the server. These systems may not be used to:

  • Intimidate, harass, or pressure players into joining or submitting to systems they do not wish to be part of.
  • Enforce taxes, tributes, or other obligations on unwilling participants.
  • Use PvP, murder, or coercion to punish players for non-compliance.
  • Distribute or exploit private player information to enforce power or control.
  • Build unfair power structures designed to silence or dominate others through force or fear.

Participation in political or group systems must remain voluntary and respectful. Abuse of power may result in group disbandment and penalties for those involved.

9) Staff Membership, Staff Requests & Recruitment Policy

Do not ask to become any staff member of HyperBlocks SMP.” This includes asking in chat, private messages, Discord, tickets, signs, books, or any other communication method.

Anyone who asks is automatically disqualified from staff consideration, immediately and going forward. This is not negotiable and staff will not debate or “review” requests made this way.

If we need help, we will reach out first. Staff recruitment is invitation-only and is based on sustained positive community involvement over time, behavior, reliability, and trust.

Trying to bypass this policy by hinting, repeatedly bringing it up, having someone else ask for you, or “joking” about it is treated the same as asking.

Penalties & Enforcement

Rule violations are addressed based on severity, intent, and impact. Penalties may include, but are not limited to:

  • Warnings, verbal or written
  • Temporary or permanent mutes
  • Temporary or permanent bans
  • Jail, temporary placement in server jail for investigation or discipline
  • Removal of items, progress, or rewards gained unfairly
  • Restricted access to areas, events, or features

We reserve the right to penalize behavior that violates the intent of fair gameplay, even when not explicitly written in the rules. Enforcement considers both the outcome and intent behind the action.

Clans, factions, and organized groups may also be penalized if a member violates server rules. Penalty may apply to all members depending on involvement, knowledge, or complicity. All group members share responsibility for actions taken in the group’s name.

By continuing to play on HyperBlocks SMP, you agree to all of the above rules and to the full authority of the server moderation team.
