Server Conduct &
Operating Rules

• Treat all players with respect.
• No harassment, bullying, discrimination, hate speech, or targeted abuse.
• Keep disagreements civil.

The following are not allowed under any circumstance:

• Hacks, clients, or mods that provide an unfair advantage.
• X-ray or texture packs that reveal ores or hidden blocks.
• Fly hacks, speed hacks, kill aura, reach, auto-clickers, or similar modifications.
• Exploiting bugs or glitches for personal gain.
• Found a bug? Report it — don't abuse it.

Zero tolerance. Any breach of this article is an immediate permanent ban with no warning, and an IP ban where staff judge it necessary. It does not go through the punishment ladder.

• No exploits, crash methods, or malicious packets, items, books, signs, or commands intended to crash, lag, corrupt, or otherwise damage the server, its worlds, or other players' experience.
• No denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) attacks, booter or stresser use, bot or connection floods, or any attempt to overload the server, website, Discord, or hosting infrastructure.
• No attempts to gain unauthorised access to the server, hosting, website, Discord, staff tools, or other players' accounts. This includes probing, scanning, injection attempts, and abusing plugin or proxy vulnerabilities.
• No duplication exploits (items, currency, or blocks) or other exploits that deliberately break the economy or world state.
• No collecting, leaking, or threatening to use other players' IP addresses or personal information.
• No creating, distributing, or linking malware, token loggers, malicious files, or harmful download links.
• No bypassing, disabling, or tampering with server security or anti-exploit protections.
• No sharing, selling, or advertising exploit methods, tools, or crash payloads.
• Attempts count. You don't have to succeed to be banned, and identified attempts are treated the same as successful attacks.
• Minor gameplay glitches, such as an unintended Towny or SiegeWar mechanic, are handled under the other articles. This article covers anything that can damage the server or other players.
• Found a vulnerability? Report it privately to staff straight away. Don't test it on the live server or share it. Good-faith reports are welcome and will not be punished.
• Staff may keep logs and alerts as evidence, and serious attacks may be reported to hosting providers or the relevant authorities.

• Wars are an inevitable part of the server and are expected.
• Do not intentionally exploit SiegeWar or Towny mechanics.
• Do not use alternate accounts to influence wars or bypass cooldowns.
• Respect staff decisions if an exploit or unexpected mechanic affects a war.

• Outside protected claims, Minecraft's normal survival rules apply unless otherwise stated.
• Do not use exploits to bypass BlockLocker or Towny protections.
• Intentionally destroying server infrastructure or public builds is prohibited.
• Within 5 townblocks of a town border, no major griefing may take place.

• Keep chat appropriate for a broad audience.
• No spam, excessive caps, or repeated messages.
• Do not advertise other Minecraft servers without staff permission.
• Keep political or controversial discussions respectful.
• All chat is monitored and filtered automatically, including private messages.
• The filter checks for profanity, racial slurs, sexual language, harassment, hate speech, and other language that breaks these rules.
• Depending on severity and repeat behaviour, the filter can block your message, mute, kick, or ban you. Racial slurs and other extreme language can lead to an automatic ban.
• Chat, including private messages, is recorded and kept for 7 days. Only the server owner and lead developer can access the logs. A person reviews automated actions and can reverse them. See our Privacy Policy for details.

English is the primary language for support and moderation on Globeworks.

• Other languages may be used freely in general chat.
• If a staff member requests it, reply in English.
• English is the required, universal language for disputes, tickets, and support.

• Do not duplicate items or currency.
• Do not exploit the economy systems.
• Scamming through glitches or deception that abuses server mechanics is not allowed.
• Staff may remove illegitimate items or money.

• Vehicles may not be used to intentionally lag or trap other players.
• Do not use vehicles to exploit protected areas.

• Build responsibly.
• Avoid offensive, inappropriate, or intentionally laggy builds.
• Massive redstone contraptions that significantly impact server performance may be limited or removed.

• Alternate accounts may not be used to gain unfair advantages.
• Using alts for extra rewards, wars, voting, or bypassing punishments is prohibited.

• AFK farms are allowed unless they cause excessive lag.
• Fully automated gameplay or bots are not allowed.
• Staff may ask you to modify or remove lag-causing farms.

• Listen to staff instructions.
• Do not impersonate staff.
• Disagree with a punishment? Appeal it through proper channels — don't argue it out in chat.
• All staff decisions are final.

Violations move up this ladder. Serious offences may skip straight to the top.

Serious offences may skip directly to harsher punishments. Offences under Article 03 (Exploits & Attacks) are an immediate permanent ban with no warning.

Not every situation can be covered by these rules. Staff may act against behaviour that is clearly harmful to the server, community, or gameplay — even if it isn't explicitly listed above.
