We encourage all players to follow these simple rules and guidelines in order to ensure everyone is having the best time they possibly can on the opticraft smp server.
Rules
1. No destroying or modifying other players blocks (griefing)
2. No mods or hacks at all, Optifine is ok.
3. Do not create any obscene structures or signs
4. No excessive swearing
5. Do not spam the chat or repeat yourself with nonsense
6. Please do not advertise other servers
7. No harassing of other users
8. Please do not ask for ranks
9. Killing players on purpose will result in a ban
10. Use common sense before you act. If part of you thinks what you are doing is wrong then don’t do it.
Guidelines
1. Players cannot own mobs spawners. Mob spawners are made by the server so a player cannot claim that a mob spawner is theirs. What a player can do is build around the mob spawner so someone would have to grief to get inside.
2. Do not ask Moderators, or Operators to TP you to another player, they will not do it.
3. Players are not allowed to place protection stones on land that someone has already built on. Find empty land or land you have built on to place your protection stone.
4. If you die and someone else picks up your items, they get to keep those items.
5. Be careful who you trade with, not everyone is trustworthy.
6. Do NOT vote for other people.
7. Do not beg for the trusted rank. I know there is already a rule stating to not ask for ranks but i really want to get the point across. You get trusted for being an active player that doesn't break rules or flam other users. The key to the rank is being patient.
Check back here regularly because there is a good chance more rules will be added as we progress.

3. Players are not allowed to place protection stones on land that someone has already built on. Find empty land or land you have built on to place your protection stone.
5. Be careful who you trade with, not everyone is trustworthy.
3. What do you do about overlaps?
5. Is there anyway of reporting a player, or what?
-
What do you mean by overlaps?
-
What do you mean by overlaps?
Claw is asking if what if the Protection Stone over laps. Say, You placed one down, and then i placed one down near yours.
You CAN actually lock a Mob Spawner with a sign.

It shouldn't let you place a protection stone if the zones would overlap. I will test this out later tonight though.

That wasn't actually what I was asking :P I was saying, if you say, built in a city, or near others, and your 11x11 protection stone covered another player's wall. What would you do then?

Then you are not allowed to place your protection stone there. And if you refuse to move it, a mod or an OP will take it.

hrmm... a certain name comes to mind... xD
anyways, good rules! i agree with all of them, seems fair :3
-
Rule change, No mods at all except optifine.
-
In response to a certain thread, I will iterate the "No killing other players" rule so that it can be made a little more clear for others.
Do not attempt to kill other players (active or afk) intentionally or on purpose-- this includes pushing them off of a cliff or high ledge purposefully (falling), pushing them into water (suffocation), intentionally placing sand/ gravel blocks over a player and causing them to fall on top of the player (suffocation), etc.
-
Xeading, in the case of someone doing this, does it deserve a perma ban?
-
I would say a week at best if it was their first offense. Players should know that PvP is strictly forbidden until we come up with a solution to this (which likely won't be happening anytime soon by the looks of things)
Repeat offenders is up to your discretion
-
One thing that requires clarification:
You may have seen that boats are Disabled in the market-- Use of a boat is NOT a bannable offense-- however, using a boat causes the server to lag, so please be mindful when you are using one
-
Just a heads-up: Players can now see a fundamental rule on the list when they type in /rules in-game:
9. Killing players on purpose will result in a ban (this includes, but is not limited to, causing players to fall from high ledges)
-
What is the mod "optifine?"
This is the only source that I trust for the Optifine Mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249637-123-optifine-hd-b-fps-boost-hd-textures-aa-af-and-more/)
-
Is it possible for a town to add on to these rules, but they only apply in that town?
-
Is it possible for a town to add on to these rules, but they only apply in that town?
Well these are the server wide rules. If you can follow those rules, I don't see any harm in establishing town-specific rules. As long as it doesn't in any way break the server rules.
Of course that's just what I think...
-
Most of the rules and guidelines of the server already apply to the towns/ cities, so it's pretty common sense-- however, if you have additional rules and/ or guidelines to add to that specific town, that is your (or the town owner's) preference.
-
Okay. Just thinking of creating a town and it would have some rules that would only apply to the poeple in the town.
-
1. Players cannot own mobs spawners. Mob spawners are made by the server so a player cannot claim that a mob spawner is theirs. What a player can do is build around the mob spawner so someone would have to grief to get inside.
Does this mean I am not allowed to place PS near it? Because if I need to build around it I need to make a lot of furnaces so that nobody can break it.
-
You are allowed to place a Protection Stone next to the spawner-- you cannot 'own' the spawner, since there are only so few of them on the server that are generated by the map.
-
Recently I created a machine that mixes lava and water to make cobblestone. So I could mine cobblestone within the safety
of my home. I was then told I had to destroy it. I'm just curious why.
-
Cobblestone Generators are allowed, but do not ask a moderator or higher to place lava to create one for you. We just won't do that for you.
Also, to touch up on another rule that hasn't been represented in the current list of rules, we do not encourage spamming the chat with nonsense or repeating the same thing over and over again. This has been most prominent with advertising shops and trades. This is what the Trade channel is for, but yet people still spam the Global chat regularly. We would like to put an end to that or at least reduce the amount of spam we have been receiving.
If you have to advertise regularly, please try to make it a goal to advertise at least once every minute or so. This is so that the chat doesn't fill up so much more than it already is.

5. Be careful who you trade with, not everyone is trustworthy.
If someone steals your money or item would reporting them do any good or would you just say not everyone is trustworthy
-
IF you can show the proof by screenshots or other means, justice can be done. Otherwise, you need to be cautious of whom you trade with.
-
what about stealing?
-
IF you can show the proof by screenshots or other means, justice can be done. Otherwise, you need to be cautious of whom you trade with.
My question is, how would you show proof with screen shots? It's not like you could prove that they were supposed to give you the money even if you took the screen shots.

Because we, as staff members, don't see the transactions going on between two different players, so we have no clue if someone is in fact telling the truth or if they're lying by just 'saying' that "So-and-so stole from me" or "robbed me of my money or goods" by just words alone.
That's where screenshots can come into play. The screenshots give us a better understanding because:
1. It shows us the situation between you and the other player from YOUR perspective
2. It gives us an idea of what to do if it is a robbery or if it is not
Generally, low-value items, such as cobblestone or sand won't warrant a big consequence. but stealing high-value items, such as ores or magic weapons/ armor and the like, can carry on lasting consequences.
In general, it is advised to be careful with whom you are trading with, but if this person is purposefully stealing from other players, we can determine that pattern and hammer them hard if possible.

Im pretty sure that no one follows the rule about owning mob spawners

They lock the mob spawner and put furnaces all around it. They may not own it, but other people can't get to it without their permission.
And a quick question, can you use silk touch and mine out a mob spawner? If you can, would that be breaking the rules?

To add to a pressing matter:
Using /pay to give out money to multiple members at once QUALIFIES as Spam.
If this continues to play out, The /pay command WILL BE TAKEN AWAY from you! Do NOT abuse those privileges any further!

What do you mean by multiple members? I thought you could only pay 1 person at a time, as of the command parameters.

As it turns out.. You can pay multiple people at a time. How it is done will not be revealed for obvious reasons.

How so? The rules state;
1. Players cannot own mobs spawners. Mob spawners are made by the server so a player cannot claim that a mob spawner is theirs. What a player can do is build around the mob spawner so someone would have to grief to get inside.
I haven't seen anyone abusing this. People say they're selling spawners because it's easy to say that, but what they're actually selling is the structure that is protecting the spawner from being used by other players. When you pay to use a spawner, you're not paying for the spawner, you're paying for access to the building around the spawner. "Owning" something in Minecraft it means you have full control of it and can pick it up and move it elsewhere if you want. Players can't do this. Spawners are stationary and can't be put into an inventory and moved.
-
Guideline 5:
We are NOT allowed to take items without paying, or you have to be careful?
-
For the guideline 1,
This means that someone can come and break my spawner while im selling it? Isn't that griefing? This happened to me twice and it is really bad.
-
Remember to report anyone breaking these rules to a mod.
-
Whoaa I thought you could claim a spawner as ur own, i guess not
-
This is something that needs to be sorted out before this becomes a depressing issue:
The server Operators DO have access to creative mode, BUT we do NOT use this to give items to other players-- even if you are willing to pay.
We are not mobile markets (and we have never been)-- the ONLY thing we use creative mode for, by far, is to replace broken or glitched protection stones. We will NOT provide players with anything outside of those bounds (unless special situations or conditions are met).
There have been very few cases where this has happened, and the only way to prevent this from happening any further is to make it known to other players.
Nobody is in trouble, but this needed to be said. It is important that you respect the high staff's words, and for us to confer with each other to keep tabs on what is expected [not only of us, but] from other players as well.

I'm a new player on Opticraft and I have a couple questions:
1. On other servers I played on, we protected monster spawners by placing LWC'd signs on them. It's cheap and still leaves them available for anyone to use. Is this practice allowed on this server?
2. There's an obvious way to completely prevent scamming in trade: player-owned iConomy chest shops. Is there a reason we don't have this?

1 - Not thought of using LWC this way, it's up to you how you protect the spawner so it would be fine I guess. It's just a bit easier to have a protection stone to stop people from breaking their way in too.
2 - If you search the forums for a bit you'll see a few threads and posts regarding this, main reasons being that we don't want shops dotted around the landscapes which cost varying prices - the market gives a layout price which players can use as a guide to make their shops. Most people should be trustworthy enough to trade with anyway, but make sure you trust them completely before making a move.

Added a few lines to get rid of the ridiculous amount of stickied topics in this board.
-
Im just wondering how does the server pickup hacks cuz im using this anti lag thingy
-
We have our ways. Also, unless its optifine, its not allowed. Please remove it.

You should've posted a topic about this so it's easier for other users to find if they come across this problem, but too late.

Thanks CPUGameLPer!
-
Could we possibly add Rei's minimap to the allowed list?
-
We already have the live map for that stuff. And someone posted a really good response about why, lemme find it
-
Why cant we use minechat?

I wanted to put this so bad but you know, I kinda feel like actually being helpful.
-
Sarcasms and jokes aside, try to keep posts informative so that new players can learn how stuff run on the server with little effort in looking for the required information.

one thing ive been informed by 2crzy4uall was that placing lava with dispensers is allowed, aslong as it is not used for grief or generators.
