In the world of Heese SMP, creating an enjoyable and fair environment for all players is of utmost importance. To achieve this goal, it's crucial to establish a set of rules and guidelines that promote good sportsmanship, discourage disruptive behaviors, and ensure a positive experience for everyone involved. This article outlines four fundamental rules that should be followed by all members of the community.

No Griefing

A griefer in interrogation

Griefing, in short on Heese SMP is defined as modifying any build made by another player without prior permission.

Examples of Griefing

Breaking blocks placed by another player
Adding blocks to builds of other players (for example, building a ladder to get over a wall, surrounding the build with obsidian)
Removing items from item frames
Breaking blocks to gain access to areas you shouldn't (for example, breaking a wall to enter a room)
Breaking armour stands
Using a farm, if the owner has specifically asked for no one to use it
Modifying natural blocks that could be considered part of a build (for example the lawn surrounding a house)

What isn't Grief

Killing Players, as long as it does not turn into Spawnkilling
Stealing from unlocked chests
Killing Animals
Being annoying in Chat
Using Farms
Temporarily placing shulker boxes/crafting tables for the purpose of using them

But I was about to die! <or insert any other random excuse>

Grief is not allowed, no matter the situation. You have a choice between dying, or getting banned.

Building with Others

This is an announcement posted by the admins on 2024-01-18

The admin team now requires if you are building with someone else for you to place a sign stating that the other player has permission to modify your stuff. This is so the admin team can easily verify if you had permission or not. If you do not do this and cannot provide solid proof we cannot verify that you had permission and we will have to treat it as there was no permission granted.

No Cheating

Staff watching a potential X-Rayer

Cheating is using any unfair client modification, some of which include:

Any Cheat/Hacked Client
Flymod
X-Ray Texture Packs
And anything else unfair

If you want to know if a mod is allowed, ask an Admin.

No Bug Abuse

Cheating also includes bug abuse (abusing any bugs not intended by the game). Only admins may ban players in this category, as it required investigation and careful consideration. Examples:

Duplication glitches
Glitching through blocks with ender pearls
Glitching through locked doors

Examples

Opening a door and quickly throwing an ender pearl
Opening a door and somehow getting through with lag
Opening a door to quickly kill mobs

What isn't considered glitching through locked doors

Opening a door and quickly hitting a player (because this can be easily done by accident)
Hitting/shooting a player, when their hitbox is outside of the door

No Spamming

Spamming on Heese SMP is the following:

Flooding the chat with nonsensical chat messages
Doxxing
Malicious Links
NSFW Links
Advertising of other minecraft servers

No Spawnkilling

Spawnkilling here is defined as repeatedly killing a player, denying them the ability to play normally.
