Rules

In-game Rules

• 1.

  Zero Tolerance for IRL Threats // DDoSing, Doxing, and Other Malicious Activities

  We are well aware of how toxic a community can become if left unchecked, and we take these types of threats very seriously. Player safety is our top priority, and we will not hesitate to issue punishments for even the implication that this behavior is occurring. "IRL Threats" are defined as any actions that can negatively impact another player’s life outside the game. This includes, but is not limited to: DDoSing, Doxing, Swatting, IP grabbing, and threats of violence. In severe situations, we will fully cooperate with law enforcement as necessary.

  • First Offense – Immediate permanent IP ban for the offending individual. Their faction will be issued a final verbal warning.
  • Second Offense – If another member of the same faction is punished for this behavior, the entire faction will receive a permanent IP ban.
• 2.

  Hacking // Competitive Advantage Hacks, Bots, or Mods

  The use of hacks, bots, or mods that provide a competitive advantage is strictly prohibited. Mods such as minimap, world downloader, and other cosmetic or GUI mods are permitted.

  • First Offense – Immediate 180-day IP ban.
  • Second Offense – Immediate permanent IP ban.
  • Competitive Caveat – If multiple players in a faction are found hacking, the faction will be disqualified from all seasonal rewards.
• 3.

  Conduct // Chat Behavior

  Global chat is a privilege, not a right. While general swearing is acceptable, hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Advertising or promoting content unrelated to Zyphia PvP will result in an immediate second offense penalty.

  • First Offense – One-week global chat mute.
  • Second Offense – Permanent global chat mute.
  • Competitive Caveat – If your faction name or base violates conduct guidelines, you’ll have 24 hours to change it. Failure to do so will result in it being changed for you.
• 4.

  Duping // Other Exploits

  To maintain a fair competitive environment, we have a zero-tolerance policy toward the use of exploits such as duplication glitches. Any discovered glitches must be reported to the moderation team immediately. Failure to report or attempts to benefit from such exploits will result in punishment for the entire faction involved.

  • First Offense – Immediate 180-day IP ban (faction-wide).
  • Second Offense – Permanent IP ban (faction-wide).
• 5.

  Glitching // Movement Exploits

  Common vanilla Minecraft movement glitches, such as ender pearl or boat glitching, are permitted so long as there is viable counterplay. Our position on this may evolve, and we’ll patch any glitch deemed unfair. However, the use of third-party hacks or mods to induce glitching is strictly forbidden and will be treated as hacking (see Section 2).
