Server Rules

Welcome to Banana Sandwich Season 3! We value freedom and banter, but we prioritize a healthy community. By playing here, you agree to these terms. Admin decisions are final.

1. Common Sense

⚠

The Loophole Clause: We are not a court of law. If you are "technically" following the rules but constantly instigating, being passive-aggressive, or ruining the fun for others, you will be removed. If you are a net negative to the vibes, you are gone.

♥

Respect: Light banter is allowed and encouraged, but hate speech, slurs, and excessive harassment are instant bans.

🚫

No Policing: If you see a rule break, open a ticket. Do not take it upon yourself to police the chat or scold others publicly.

🎥

Content Creation: You must inform other players if you are live-streaming or recording voice chat while they are present.

2. PvP & Interaction

🤝

Consent is Key: PvP is only allowed if both players explicitly consent beforehand.

☠

Grave Respect: If someone dies during consensual PvP or nearby, you must protect their items from despawning. Stealing from drops is a ban.

😂

Pranks vs. Griefing: Pranks should be funny and reversible. Griefing (destroying builds, stealing items, killing pets) is banned.

3. Cheating, Mods & Exploits

🚫

Hacked Clients: X-Ray, Fly, Kill Aura, and Baritone are strictly banned.

🌱

The Seed: The world seed is not public. Using seed-crackers to find structures is cheating.

🔧

Litematica: Schematics and Easy Place mode are allowed. Printer Mode is BANNED. You must be actively clicking to place blocks.

✅

Allowed Dupes: TNT, Gravity Blocks (Sand/Concrete/Gravel), Carpets, Rails, String, & Tripwire Hooks. Item duping (Diamonds/Netherite/Tools) is a permanent ban.

✅

Mechanics: Bedrock-breaking and auto-clickers are allowed.

4. Server Performance & Redstone

⚡

Don't Lag the Server: Staff reserve the right to remove machines that ruin TPS.

🔌

On/Off Switches: Any large redstone machinery must have an off switch.

📦

Chunk Loaders: Allowed, but you must notify admins via a ticket with the location. Turn them off when not in use.

💤

AFK: You may be kicked while AFK if the server is experiencing high demand or lag. Do not use autoreconnect mod — you will be temp banned.

5. Economy & Progression

🔒

Property Rights: Do not use farms or take loot without the owner's permission unless there is a sign marked "Public" or "Free".

🗑

Abandoned Assets: If a player is banned and built 80% of a farm, that farm may be removed or auctioned off by Staff.

🌱

Progression: Do not give advanced goods (Diamonds, God Armor, Elytras) to fresh spawns. Let new players experience the grind!

6. Environment & Building

📏

Build Distance: Build at least 500–750 blocks away from Spawn (unless building a shop in the Shopping District).

⛏

Resource Mining: Do not strip mine deserts or ice spikes near bases. Use dedicated resource gathering areas.

💧

Damage Control: Repair creeper holes or any damage you cause to the Spawn area immediately.

🇧

Claims: Mark large build plans in the claim-an-area channel to avoid conflicts.

🏠

Neighbor Notice: Alert players if you plan to build within 400 blocks of them.

Faction Rules

Simple rules to keep the server fair and active.

Keep it in Discord: All faction operations, planning, and recruiting must happen inside the Banana Sandwich Discord. External servers are for hanging out only.

No Spam, No DMs: Recruit only in designated channels. Never DM random players or spam general chat to find members.

No Bribery: Recruit based on your community vibes, not your loot. Offering powerful gear or money to entice recruits is banned.

Stay Active: Factions inactive for 30+ days risk deletion. Leaders must remain responsive to Staff.

Shopping District Rules

Mark Your Claims: Mark out the borders of your claims clearly with a sign with your name on them to prevent confusion and give spawn managers knowledge on who claimed what.

No Size Limits: There are no specific sizes or limits to plots — just be considerate and mindful of others.

Main Roads: Don't build on future main roads, i.e. directly North, South, East, or West of the SD portal.

Style: Matching the themes and styles of the builds around you is not necessary but would look cool!

Large Claims: When claiming large areas, move further away from the portal main area.

Grace Period: Claimed plots have a grace period of 3 days. If no progress has been made, your claim may be nullified by Spawn Managers' discretion. This prevents someone claiming a plot and not using it while forcing others to build further out.

Build First: All shops must be completed before selling of items can commence!

Need Help? Message the spawn managers or create a ticket if you have any issues or questions!
