OneSMP Rules

Why We Have The Rules We Do

These rules exist to protect the kind of server OneSMP is: fair, mature, and enjoyable long-term. Respect and common sense apply throughout the community.

Game Rules

Game Rules

These cover gameplay, claims, fairness, and the general standards expected on the server itself.

1

Respect the community

Treat other players respectfully and keep the server welcoming, mature, and enjoyable long-term.

1A

No slurs, harassment, targeted attacks, baiting, spam, or toxic behavior that drags down the experience for others.

1B

Filtered words are still prohibited even if someone tries to dodge the filter with altered spelling, spacing, or symbols.

1C

Political and religious discussion is only acceptable while it stays respectful and does not create conflict.

1D

If you disagree with a staff decision, appeal privately by emailing [email protected] instead of arguing publicly.

2

Play fair

Progress, PvP, resources, and builds should come from fair play rather than cheats, abuse, or loopholes.

2A

No hacked clients, duplication methods, X-Ray, unfair exploits, or anything that gives an illegitimate advantage.

2B

No alternate accounts for unfair advantage, storage abuse, ban evasion, or punishment evasion.

2C

Abusing plugin bugs or unintended mechanics is still considered cheating. Report issues to staff instead of using them.

3

Respect claims, bases, and public areas

Give other players room to build, preserve shared infrastructure, and avoid taking from active players.

3A

You may loot from clearly abandoned, unclaimed structures only after reasonably confirming they are inactive and not protected nearby.

3B

Do not grief abandoned builds even if they are unclaimed. Leave worlds cleaner than you found them.

3C

Respect buffers around homes and bases. Do not crowd, block in, trap, or claim over other players.

3D

Public infrastructure such as roads, hubs, farms, and railways should not be altered or griefed without permission from the owner or organizer.

4

Do not harm server performance

Builds and farms should be designed responsibly so they do not degrade the experience for everyone else.

4A

No lag machines or intentionally abusive redstone, mob, or farm setups.

4B

Staff may ask for lag-heavy builds to be modified, limited, relocated, or removed.

4C

Builds that intentionally cause performance problems for players or the server may be removed by staff without reimbursement.

Staff are here to keep the server fair and enjoyable, and may act when needed even beyond what is written word-for-word in the rules. If you have concerns, bring them to staff privately rather than starting public arguments.

Discord Rules

Discord Rules

These apply to the OneSMP Discord server, including text channels, voice channels, direct interactions, and shared media.

1

Follow Discord platform rules

Discord Terms of Service and Community Guidelines apply alongside server-specific rules.

1A

Anything prohibited by Discord itself is also prohibited in the OneSMP Discord.

2

Keep content safe and appropriate

Shared media, links, usernames, and conversation topics must stay suitable for the community.

2A

No NSFW content, gore, shock media, or graphic imagery.

2B

No phishing, grabify links, malware, suspicious downloads, or scam-related content.

3

Use channels respectfully

Keep discussions readable, avoid disruption, and respect the purpose of each channel.

3A

No spam, excessive tagging, disruptive noise in voice, or posting media that others did not consent to share.

3B

Report harassment, suspicious links, scams, or harmful behavior directly to staff instead of escalating publicly.

Client Mods

Allowed

  • Performance mods such as Sodium or OptiFine.
  • Shaders and simple Texture Packs.
  • Xaero's Fair-Play minimap only, with no cave mapping.
  • Inventory sort and similar convenience mods.
  • ReplayMod and Litematica schematics.
  • Simple key-bound macros that do not automate play and are not run AFK.

Not Allowed

  • X-ray or packs/mods that reveal hidden ores or structures.
  • Auto-build, auto-mining, auto-fishing, or bot-like automation.
  • Minimaps that reveal caves, dungeons, or hidden players.
  • Any mod that creates an unfair PvP or resource advantage.

Final Notes

Not reading the rules is not an excuse for breaking them. If something feels unclear, ask staff before acting. The goal is to keep OneSMP fair, calm, and worth coming back to.
