VanillaHub Rules
These are the public VanillaHub rules for the Minecraft Java Edition vanilla survival SMP. They apply in-game, in chat, and in connected VanillaHub community spaces.
1. Be respectful
No harassment, hate speech, threats, targeted abuse, excessive toxicity, or impersonation of players or staff.
2. No cheating or unfair advantages
Do not use hacked clients, x-ray, automation, macros, dupes, exploits, packet abuse, or any tool that gives an unfair survival advantage.
3. No griefing or stealing
Do not damage, raid, steal from, or intentionally disrupt another player's build, base, claim, storage, farms, shops, or community projects.
4. Respect claims and builds
Do not bypass land protection, build too close to another player's base without permission, trap claims, or interfere with protected areas.
5. Keep chat clean
No spam, advertising, malicious links, excessive caps, filter evasion, personal information sharing, or disruptive arguments in public chat.
6. Do not harm server performance
Lag machines, intentionally overloaded farms, redstone abuse, entity spam, and other performance attacks are not allowed.
7. Play the economy fairly
Do not exploit shops, trades, jobs, vote rewards, crates, or plugins. Report economy bugs instead of abusing them.
8. Alternate accounts must follow the same rules
Using alternate accounts to evade punishments, bypass limits, farm rewards, or hide rule-breaking is not allowed.
9. Staff discretion applies
Staff may act on behavior that harms the server, players, economy, performance, or community even if it is not listed word for word here.
Land protection and claims
Land protection exists to help players protect builds, storage, farms, and long-term projects. Claim bypassing, claim trapping, and interfering with another player's protected area are treated as rule violations.
Fair survival gameplay
VanillaHub is built around long-term Minecraft Java survival. Rules against cheating, duping, griefing, economy exploits, and performance abuse protect the world and make survival progress more reliable for everyone.
