🟩 Pride Patch - Minecraft Server Rules

Please read and respect these rules. By participating, you agree to abide by them. These rules supplement Mojangs Terms of Service.

🌈 Section 1: Respect & Inclusivity (In-Game)

> Be Respectful: All Discord rules regarding respect, kindness, anti-discrimination, and anti-hate speech apply to in-game chat, signs, books, item names, builds, and skins.

> Respect Identities: Respect players' identities, chosen names, and pronouns in all in-game interactions.

🏡 Section 2: Gameplay - Community & Property

> No Griefing: Do not destroy, deface, or significantly alter another player's build without their explicit permission. This includes breaking blocks, placing unwanted blocks, flooding, burning, etc.

> No Stealing: Do not take items from other players' chests, item frames, armor stands, farms, or storage systems without explicit permission. Assume anything within a player's claimed base area is off-limits.

> Respect Build Space: Do not build directly next to or impede another player's base or build area without asking them first. Leave a reasonable buffer zone between builds unless collaborating.

> Community Areas: Respect shared community builds, farms, and areas (like Nether Hubs, End Farms, Villages). If using community farms, replant/breed/contribute back. Don't take more than your fair share without contributing.

⚔️ Section 3: Gameplay - Conduct & Fairness

> No Cheating or Hacking: Use of hacked clients, x-ray mods/resource packs, exploits, glitches, or any modifications that provide an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited. (QoL mods like Optifine, Sodium, Iris, basic minimaps without player/cave finders, etc are fine).

> No Trapping: Do not trap players or obstruct them in ways that prevent them from playing without their consent (e.g., obsidian traps, bedrock traps).

🌿 Section 4: Environment & Compassion

> Be Tidy & Responsible: Clean up temporary structures (e.g., dirt pillars, temporary shelters). Avoid creating excessively large or intentionally lag-inducing farms/contraptions without consulting staff, especially in shared areas. Fix creeper holes near others' builds if possible.

> No Hateful Builds/Content: Do not create builds, map art, item names, or signs that contain hate speech, slurs, offensive symbols, or violate Rule #1.

> Respect Compassionate Ethos: This community values compassion. While interacting with mobs is part of Minecraft survival, avoid actions, builds, or discussions in chat that focus on depicting excessive, gratuitous, or glorified harm to animals beyond standard gameplay mechanics.

🛡️ Section 5: General & Safety

> Follow Mojang's Standards: Abide by Mojang's End User License Agreement (EULA) and Community Standards.

> Reporting: Report any griefing, stealing, cheating, harassment, or rule violations to the moderation team promptly via /report or within discord with coordinates, player names, and evidence (screenshots/video) if possible.

> Final Note: These rules are designed to foster a positive community. They may be updated as needed. Moderators have the final say in interpretations and enforcement, which can range from warnings to temporary mutes, to permanent bans, depending on the severity and frequency of violations. Use common sense and help us make the Pride Patch an amazing place to be!
