5Follow staff instructions

General Conduct

Respect all players
Treat every player with respect regardless of their rank, skill level, or background. Harassment, bullying, or toxic behavior will not be tolerated.
No discrimination
Racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory language or behavior is strictly prohibited and results in immediate punishment.
Follow staff instructions
Staff decisions are final. If you disagree, use the appeals process on Discord — do not argue in-game or in public channels.
No impersonation
Do not impersonate staff members, other players, or use misleading usernames. This includes fake moderator claims.

Chat Rules

English and Malayalam only
All public chat must be in English or Malayalam so that staff can moderate effectively. Other languages may be used in private messages.
No spamming
Do not repeat messages, use excessive caps, or send the same content multiple times. This includes command spam.
No advertising
Advertising other Minecraft servers, Discord servers, or external websites is strictly prohibited in all public channels.
No inappropriate content
Keep chat family-friendly. No explicit, sexual, or graphic content in public chat. NSFW content is permanently bannable.

Combat & PvP

No targeting new players
Killing players who just started or are under in-game Newbie Protection is strictly prohibited. Bypassing protection to kill noobs is a bannable offense.
No spawn killing
Repeatedly killing players at or near spawn is prohibited and considered harassment, even if they are not under protection.
No combat logging
Logging out to avoid death in a PvP situation is considered combat logging and is punishable.
Fair combat only
Using hacks, macros, or any unfair advantage in combat is a bannable offense. This includes kill aura, reach hacks, and auto-clickers.

Griefing & Land Protection

Respect claimed land
Never modify, break, or interfere with land that belongs to another player. Bypassing claim protection using exploits is a bannable offense.
Unclaimed land griefing
While technically allowed in some zones, deliberately destroying others' unclaimed builds with intent to harm is strongly discouraged and may be actioned.
Claim your builds
It is your responsibility to claim your builds and land. Staff will not compensate for damage to unclaimed areas.
No lava/water griefing
Placing lava, water, or TNT near other players' claimed builds to damage them or their surroundings is prohibited.

Cheating & Hacking

Zero tolerance for hacking
Any form of hacking, cheating, or using modified clients (X-ray, fly hacks, speed hacks, kill aura, etc.) results in a PERMANENT BAN with no appeal.
No exploiting bugs
If you discover a bug or exploit, report it to staff immediately. Exploiting bugs for personal gain (duplication glitches, etc.) is bannable.
No auto-click or macros
Using auto-clickers, macros, or any automated input to gain AFK resources is prohibited and considered cheating.
Approved mods only
Only visual/QoL mods are permitted (Optifine, shaders, minimap without entity radar). When in doubt, ask a staff member.

Trading & Economy

No scamming
Scamming other players in trades, agreements, or deals is prohibited. All major trades should be done using proper trading mechanisms.
Fair pricing
While you can set your own prices, deliberately misleading players about item values or creating price manipulation schemes is punishable.
No duplication
Duplicating any items, CrestGems, or currency through any method is an economy violation resulting in a permanent ban.
Real-money trading (RMT) prohibited
Trading in-game items, gems, or ranks for real money outside of official CrestMC store channels is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban.
