** Destroying or altering blocks placed by others without their permission (such as by adding torches, ladders, signs, and so on).
* '''No unlabelled traps.''' You must clearly warn players in advance if your build contains traps that may imprison or kill them.
** Adding to someone else's building without permission
* '''Follow build themes.''' If you're building in someone else's claimed land, be sure to try and follow any theme that they might have.
** Using LWC commands to lock blocks that are not yours without permission
* '''Don't strip-mine the main world.''' Use the Ore worlds instead! They're made for just that purpose and are regularly deleted and remade to keep them full of shinies.

* '''No buildings designed to automate the direct farming of Kubes''' - though grinders for mob drops are fine.
* '''Keep your builds in theme''' - if you don't know if it is in theme, ask your neighbours in-game or on the forums. This only applies if you are building in a theme-controlled area, such as a player-run settlement. If you choose to build in the wilderness, away from other players, you may build anything as long as it stays family friendly.

Introduction

At Cubic Worlds we want to try and make sure that your experience is as good as it can be during your Minecraft adventures, and to do this, we have a few simple rules that players and staffers are expected to follow during their time on the server.

Hopefully you'll find that most things here boil down to simple common sense. We don't want to spoil the game by shoving rules down your throat, but at the same time, we have to guard against silly folks who only seek to cause trouble.

The rules here also apply to any non-Minecraft events organised by our community, such as those made through the Cubic Worlds Steam group.

While Chatting...

  • Be friendly and respectful to others.
  • Use English only, keep to PG-safe topics, and don't swear. (Read our Language Policy to learn more.)
  • Sensitive chat topics (e.g. politics, religion, etc.) are best kept to the #offtopic channel of our Discord. Debate is welcome, but if things get rowdy then a Staffer may ask you to change the subject or continue a conversation through private messages.
  • Don't repeatedly ask for promotion or try to curry favour with staffers. (Read our Ranks page for details of how we promote players.)

While Minecrafting...

  • No shenanigans. Don't use hacks that harm other players or the server itself, and don't steal from others or grief their builds.
  • No unlabelled traps. You must clearly warn players in advance if your build contains traps that may imprison or kill them.
  • Follow build themes. If you're building in someone else's claimed land, be sure to try and follow any theme that they might have.
  • Don't strip-mine the main world. Use the Ore worlds instead! They're made for just that purpose and are regularly deleted and remade to keep them full of shinies.
  • Have fun! We hope you can enjoy yourself here with like-minded people!

The Golden Rule

  • Be excellent to each other. We're all here to have a good time playing Minecraft together so help us keep the server a fun, chill place that everyone can enjoy!

Breaking the Rules

If you break any of our rules then we will act as fairly as we can while sorting things out. There are two pages you can read to learn more:
