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.
