rayconnect is all about fun. Rules may not seem like fun on face value but it is still important to have a clear framework so everybody knows what is acceptable and what isn't. If there were no rules conflict between players would happen naturally, ruining the experience for everyone else.
With that said, If you intend to join our server and contribute to the world, please read the following rules carefully. They are written with the assumption that you are mature enough to follow and understand them.
If you are not mature enough to follow these simple rules we will not hesitate to ban you. Staff is not here to babysit you or to help you improve. We want to have fun, not manage conflict.
The following rules are written with the assumption that players have common sense. Do not use technicalities to "get away" with causing disruption to other players. Not only does that make you look bad but it also doesn't achieve anything. Be mindful of your interactions with the world & players. This server is about fun and forming new friendships!
Stealing items from other players is forbidden but it's not too strict of a rule. For example: if you took three blocks of cobblestone from a player it wouldn't be a big deal. Just use common sense and don't be greedy. Taking valuable items without permission form another player is considered breaking the rules.
Griefing is completely forbidden. Destroying creations of other players will result to a permanent ban. There are no excuses. In case you accidentally destroy a build, immediately contact a Staff member or Ray. We have the ability to restore anything to any point in time. We can also see who placed or destroyed blocks. Lying won't work.
Friendly fire is enabled, you can hurt other players but rules are present. PvP is enabled for players to be expressive and to give those who want to fight the freedom to do so. If both or all players agree to a friendly or unfriendly duel they can kill each other. Killing is not allowed when it is used as a tool to annoy or disrupt another player's experience.
Usage of profane words is allowed, as long as it's mature. Do not use slurs or swear words at other players to truly insult them. But don't get the wrong idea, sarcasm is welcome and even encouraged. Offensive language is allowed but use common sense. You won't get banned for swearing but you will get banned for bullying. Respect other players.
Client sided modifications are allowed as long as they do not provide an unfair advantage over other players on the server. For example: Mini-map, full-bright, Optifine, shaders, etc. are allowed. But modifications like: X-Ray, B-hop, flight, or any kind of cheat from hacked clients are forbidden. If you are unsure if your mod is allowed or not, contact Ray.
TPS stands for Ticks Per Second. Time in Minecraft is calculated with TPS. 20 is the normal, ideal number of TPS the server should run on. When the TPS number drops below 18 ticks lag, stuttering & unresponsiveness will become noticeable. When creating machines with redstone, make them TPS friendly. If a machine affects performance it will have to be destroyed or deactivated.
