Rules
#
📃 Overview
Our rules are based on common sense and fairness. This page documents the most common rules.
This page does not represent an exhaustive list of all rules and scenarios. The staff team retains the authority to evaluate each situation on a case-by-case basis and to determine appropriate actions, which may include disciplinary measures or leniency.
Violations of TrappedMC rules may result in penalties within the TrappedMC Server. In severe instances, particularly concerning chat-related offenses, matters may be escalated to Mojang and/or Xbox Live Player Safety.
#
🎮 1. Enjoy the Game
First things first, we're all here to have fun. These rules are here to ensure that all players can enjoy the game in a fair and friendly way.
#
🤝 2. Respect All Players
Just like in real life, treat others how you would like to be treated. Friendly and respectful interactions make the game better for everyone. While we allow for some mild trash talk as it pertains to gameplay, keep it friendly and fun - and not personal or hurtful.
#
👔 3. Respect Staff
Do not trash-talk the staff. They are here to help; as such, they should be treated with respect and their directions should always be followed. They work hard to make your experience enjoyable. This rule also extends to guards, maliciously or excessive trolling of guards will be handled according to the rules - and not the guard guide.
#
🚫 4. Cheating
Any use of hacks, modifications, or exploits of bugs or glitches is strictly prohibited. Banned modifications including but not limited to hacked clients, auto clickers, x-ray texture packs, and macros (command macros are generally permitted excluding vote parties and global rewards). Generally, any modification that provides a material advantage over other players is prohibited. You may not modify your setup so that you can play while you are not at your computer. If you have questions about your modifications, please open a ticket, and we will help clarify.
#
🎭 5. Alternate/Proxy Accounts
We do not permit the use of alternate or proxy accounts on this server. Proxy accounts refer to accounts of friends or family who are not active players, even if they are real players. Using alternate or proxy accounts to gain additional rewards or improve chances in competitions (e.g., lotteries, vote parties, wither/titan rewards, tournaments or server events) is strictly prohibited.
#
🤥 6. False Reports
Do not create fake reports against other players or guards. Repeated violation of this rule is punishable.
#
💱 7. IRL Deals
Trading in-game items or money is permitted so long as the purchase is made in our store and is not a direct payment between players. Direct payments between players violates Mojang's EULA and poses a safety risk. As such, we do not allow and will strictly enforce this rule. Scamming related to IRL deals is also prohibited. You may not sell in game items after they have been purchased from the store.
#
🐛 8. Exploits/Bugs
Any abuse of any exploit or bug is not allowed. We expect you to report bugs or exploits quickly, and we do not offer rewards for reporting these other than our appreciation. If a bug or exploit comes to your attention and you do not report it, you may be considered complicit in abusing that exploit. This includes using the exploit yourself and knowingly benefiting from it or encouraging others to use it. The aim is to maintain a fair and enjoyable environment for everyone, and exploiting bugs goes against this principle. We rely on our community's integrity to help us identify and resolve these issues.
#
🤐 9. No Advertising
Advertising other servers is strictly prohibited. You may only advertise other products, streaming websites, social media profiles or websites with the explicit written permission of the owners.
#
📪 10. No Spamming
Refrain from flooding the chat with repeated messages, excessive use of capital letters, or irrelevant content.
#
🤬 11. Offensive Language
Do not use offensive language on the server. We define offensive language as anything racist, sexist, religiously intolerant, homophobic, or generally discriminatory in any way. This also includes excessive swearing or any language that can be deemed as harassing, offensive, or threatening to others. Do not use offensive language in chat, nicknames, messages, item names, signs, or any other possible way on the server.
#
👕 12. Inappropriate Skins
Do not use any inappropriate skin. Examples of inappropriate skins include but are not limited to possibly racist, sexist or nude skins.

Violators will be subjected to immediate economic restrictions and potential account suspension, with repeated offenses leading to a permanent ban.
#
📝 21. Custom Join/Leave Messages
If you have this perk, you may not use it to impersonate other players or official messages and announcements to mislead other players. While we allow for some light trolling, keep it fun and light.
#
