Server Rules

2.1 Definitions

• Griefing — Destroying, damaging, or altering another player's builds without permission.
• Stealing — Taking items from chests, farms, or other storage without permission.
• Spawn — The area within 300 blocks of (0, 0) in every direction. This boundary may expand.

2.2 Inside Spawn

Everything at spawn (builds, chests, shops, structures) is fully protected.

• No griefing.
• No stealing.
• No explosives (TNT, end crystals, respawn anchors, etc.)

2.3 Outside Spawn

• Stealing is allowed.
• Griefing is NOT allowed on registered builds (via the /registry) command. You will be banned for destroying, damaging, or altering other players' registered builds.
• Griefing is allowed on unregistered builds (i.e. private bases or vaults that are not listed on the /registry command)

2.4 Stealable Blocks

The following blocks can be taken from any build outside spawn, even if placed as part of a registered structure:

• Diamond blocks
• Netherite blocks
• Emerald blocks
• Gold blocks
• Iron blocks
• Copper blocks
• Lapis blocks
• Redstone blocks
• Ancient debris
• Beacons
• Shulker boxes
• Dragon eggs

All other placed blocks are protected from theft. You may still steal from containers.

2.5 Traps

• Destroying traps is not griefing. You may break or disable trap blocks and mechanisms (e.g. at teleport points or in the world) used to harm or trap players. This does not count as griefing.
• TP trapping is allowed — you may trap teleport destinations like /home, /tpa, etc. However, trapping spawn points is NOT allowed — this includes /spawn, beds, respawn anchors, and world spawn. Log-out traps are permitted.

PvP isn't the main focus of HSREALM, but it is enabled.

3.1 cPvP Restrictions

The server has combat-balancing (cPvP) measures in place:

• Modified stackables — Certain items are restricted or modified during combat.
• Combat-only damage — Some mechanics only deal damage while you're actively in combat.

More PvP rules may be added for specific events or updates.

4.1 Be Respectful

• Treat everyone with basic respect.
• Don't harass, insult, or target players for who they are.
• Slurs and hate speech are never tolerated.
• Don't deliberately annoy or pester other players.
• Keep disagreements on the server—taking drama outside or blowing things out of proportion is not okay.

4.2 Language

• Light swearing is fine in moderation.
• Excessive profanity or vulgar language is not.

4.3 Spamming

• Repeating a message once or twice is fine.
• Flooding chat with copy-paste or repeated messages will get you temporarily muted.

4.4 Other Principles

• Do not take advantage of staff or the owner (for rollbacks, in-game benefits, bribes, etc.).
• Do not impersonate any member of HSR, including staff, government, or the owner.
• Do not dox or share private/personal information about other players or staff (including real names). Doxxing results in a permanent ban.

4.5 Enforcement

• Minor issues usually get a warning first.
• Repeated or serious violations lead to mutes or bans.
• Hate speech and harassment can result in a permanent ban.

Hacks, cheats, and unfair mods are never allowed.

If you have to ask whether something counts as hacking, it probably does.

5.1 What's Not Allowed

• Any hacked client (meteor, wurst, etc.)
• Xaero's Minimap (due to entity tracking)
• Chunk claimers or player radar
• Health indicators
• Xray or anything that reveals hidden blocks to your client
• Duping exploits
• Using the world seed for any advantage
• Anything that automates movement or world interactions

• Do not use alts for general gameplay.
• You may chat on an alt in rare circumstances, but keep it limited.

6.2 Punishments

6.3 Economy

• Alt homes link to your main account—all home transactions affect your main.
• Alts cannot participate in the economy in any way.

Staff abusing their powers is not tolerated.

7.1 Expectations

• Developers are players too and must play fairly like everyone else.
• Admins have full server permissions but cannot use them for personal gain.
• Any use of staff powers not pre-approved by the owner counts as abuse.

7.2 Enforcement

• Developer abuse → handled by Admins
• Admin abuse → escalated immediately to the owner
