  2. Voting on alts
  3. Bypassing the 10 spawner limit set per player using alts

[7] Griefing

The destruction of builds and the theft of items that do not belong to you is deemed as grief. If you stumble across a base that is not claimed, it does not mean you are allowed to destroy it. Examples of griefing can include the following.

  2. Duping
  3. Exploiting

  >>> This includes abusing the clay mining trick, the lapis mining trick etc.

[9] AFK Farming

We do not allow the act of AFK farming in the vicinity of auto farms because it creates unnecessary amounts of lag for the server and the players on it. It can also unbalance the economy. It is recommended you be 3+ chunks away from an auto farm so it is not active. AFK farming includes the following.

  1. You will be deemed as AFK if you cannot reply to staff within 2-5 minutes
  2. AFKing at manual farms is okay (wheat, carrot etc.)
  3. AFKing at mob spawners / XP farms

Management reserves the right to apply a permission to you that’ll deem you AFK after 2 minutes of inactivity IF we believe you repeatedly sit still at auto farms. We encourage players to remain active in certain situations by moving around to prevent any accidents. Attempts to bypass this feature will result in further punishment.

[10] Disallowed Gens & Farms

[12] Giving out free items

Giving out free items and cash is no longer allowed as it ruins the server gameplay. We wish to promote that players upon joining the server, play for the objective of survival and not be spoon-fed items to speed up their progress. Although this rule mostly targets new players, it will also include older players to keep it fair for everyone.

This means, that no items or cash are to be handed out freely to players, no matter whether you are a Default or a SkyGod. This rule does not apply to those sharing a region (temporarily sharing a region to bypass this is not allowed). Currently, the following will count as said abuse:

[A] Giving out free items

[B] Giving out free cash

[C] Listing of items on /ah for free

[D] Giving out free skylights

[E] Using a low cost for a typically expensive item to get around this rule

> i.e giving players diamonds in exchange for $1 or giving 1 dirt for 64 diamonds

These rules are liable to be changed at any time. It is up to you to be kept up-to-date so no issues can possibly arise from a decision you make on Sky Servers.

If at any point you are unsure about a rule, please do not hesitate to ask a staff member.
