Server Rules

This page describes the rules all non-staff players are expected to follow. If you were looking for a list of rules governing Cubic Worlds staff members, please see the Staff Policy.

Introduction

To ensure that your game experience is as good as it can be while adventuring in the Cubic Worlds server, players are expected to abide by our rules at all times. We hope that you will find that most things here boil down to simple common sense - it is not our intention to spoil the game by being too officious, but unfortunately there are always those who seek to cause trouble.

Players

• Be friendly and respectful to others.
• Please use English only when chatting.
• Do not swear or talk about obscene subjects.
• Never ask for promotion (learn more on the Ranks page).
• Have fun!

Building and Destroying

• No griefing - griefers will be given a warning then banned for a length of time relative to the seriousness of the grief. Multiple griefs may stack up in ban time. Griefing generally includes, but is not limited to:
  • Destroying or altering blocks placed by others without their permission (such as by adding torches, ladders, signs, and so on).
  • Adding to someone else's building without permission
  • Using LWC commands to lock blocks that are not yours without permission

• No hacking - using hacks such as flying, inventory editing or x-raying for ores will get you banned, usually without warning.
• No unlabelled traps designed to kill players - though traps in obstacle courses are fine.
• 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.
• No 1-block towers - they're ugly and unnecessary and will be removed on sight.
• No diamond-block houses - please use your diamonds in a less outlandish way.
• If you chop down a tree, take all of it - floating leaves are Zolyx's pet peeve...
• No strip-mining of beaches - if you need sand, mine it from a desert, not from a beach.

The Golden Rule

• Ignorance is no excuse - keep yourself informed and be familiar with the current rules of the server at all times. Do your best to keep Cubic Worlds the great place it is so that everyone can have a happy Minecrafting time!
