Do not use slurs, hateful language, or offensive imagery.

• This includes content targeting race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, or identity.

Historical, geographic, and real-life names are all allowed as long as they are used in good faith.

• Do not use fictional names.
• Do not copy or closely imitate another town, nation, company, player, or server organization to confuse people.

Staff may require a town, nation, company, or player to rename something inappropriate.

Keep visual identity appropriate.

• Do not use hateful, extremist, sexual, discriminatory, or harassment-based flags, banners, skins, logos, or builds.
• Staff may require inappropriate visuals to be removed or changed.

If something is inside a claim, do not interfere with it unless you have permission.

• Do not break, place, open, use, move, remove, or alter things in another player’s town without permission.
• Do not use modded machines, Create contraptions, pipes, hoppers, vehicles, remote inventories, ships, trains, or entities to bypass claim protection.
• Do not use lag, bugs, missing protections, or technical errors to do something you would normally be denied from doing.

Do not use claims just to inconvenience or trap other players.

This includes:

• Surrounding a town so it cannot reasonably expand.
• Intentionally blocking a town’s road, railway, or waterway access.
• Claiming land only to stop another town from using it.
• Making intentionally hostile claim shapes designed to isolate or annoy another community.

Do not take or modify things that are not yours.

• Do not destroy or take from obvious player builds, machines, storage, shops, roads, or public infrastructure in the wilderness.
• Do not use hoppers, pipes, Create contraptions, remote inventories, hitbox glitches, camera clipping, vehicles, entities, or bugs to reach someone else’s storage.
• Missing claim protection is not permission to interfere with someone else’s property.
• Town owners may be allowed to take from plots within the town.

Town and nation leaders are responsible for managing their communities.

• Leaders are expected to manage members, permissions, and local rules reasonably.
• Town and nation rules may be stricter than server rules, but they cannot override HistoriaMC rules.
• A town or nation may face consequences if leadership knowingly allows, encourages, or benefits from repeated rule-breaking.

If you find a bug, report it. Do not use it for personal gain.

You do not need to be a professional builder, but do not leave garbage around the world.

• Do not leave large cobblestone towers, floating blocks, lava casts, random dirt structures, or abandoned temporary builds everywhere.
• Clean up temporary structures after you are done using them.
• Do not make builds meant only to annoy people or ruin an area.

Builds do not need to be perfectly historical, but players should make a real effort to fit the server’s current era.

• Do not build obviously futuristic, modern, or out-of-era structures before they make sense in the server’s timeline.
• Not staying accurate to era guidelines may tarnish your town’s ability to be in server media.

Staff may ask you to clean up, move, redesign, or remove something that causes lag, blocks access, damages the world, or clearly does not belong in the server environment.

When war, siege, PvP, or diplomacy systems are active, follow the rules and mechanics of those systems.

• Do not use bugs, alts, claim borders, protection boundaries, or technical loopholes to gain an unfair advantage.
• Do not logout while in the midst of combat.

PvP does not allow players to repeatedly target someone just to make them quit.

• Do not spawn trap players.
• Do not use war or PvP as an excuse for harassment, hate speech, or real-life threats.

Do not destroy towns, farms, machines, vehicles, infrastructure, storage, or businesses outside the actual server conflict system.

A missing protection or technical loophole does not make sabotage allowed.

Do not build or run anything designed to hurt server performance.

This includes:

• Lag machines.
• Entity cramming systems.
• Infinite item loops.
• Excessive redstone.
• Broken Create contraptions.
• Systems meant to overload chunks, worlds, or dimensions.

Factories, trains, ships, farms, Create machines, and other modded systems are part of HistoriaMC. Use them responsibly.

• Staff may ask you to reduce, redesign, pause, or remove a system that causes lag.
• Do not rebuild the same or similar lag-causing setups after being told to remove them.

If a player is breaking a rule or if you come across any bugs or other issues, make a ticket or contact staff.

Try to include useful information such as screenshots, videos, coordinates, dates, player names, messages, and item details.

Do not lie in reports, fake screenshots, alter evidence, or try to frame another player.

Do not use tickets as a way to harass someone or get revenge.

You are allowed to appeal punishments, but appeals need to be respectful and honest.

• Do not spam staff.
• Do not insult staff or pressure players to influence an appeal.
• Explain what happened and provide actual information for staff to review.

Not every possible bad action can be listed in these rules.

Staff may act when someone is clearly trying to:

• Harm another player.
• Ruin the experience for others.
• Gain an unfair advantage.
• Abuse a bug or loophole.
• Damage the economy.
• Cause lag.
• Bypass progression.
• Evade punishment.

• Do not ruin things for other people.
• Do not abuse bugs or technical loopholes.
