Celestial Craft Rules

As a whole, we here at Celestial Craft are aiming to create a fun, safe, and inviting server to everyone. If you experience any issues please report the player to staff, whether it be on the physical server or on our discord server.

On CelestialCraft, we adhere to a certain set of guidelines that ensure our player base cultivates a friendly and safe community.

Please note that while you may not read these rules, having no knowledge of their existence does not make you exempt from them.

Celestial staff will enforce rules based on our guidelines but also ultimately at their discretion. If you have issues with the handling of rules, please open a report so we can openly communicate how to improve our rule system.

These are the basic server rules able to be viewed in game with /rules.

     1 – Xraying, hacked clients, duping and other abuses that exploit the game are NOT permitted.

     2 – No discriminatory behaviour like hate speech based on characteristics like race, gender and ability.

     3 – Conversations with players should be respectful and safe for a mature audience. Predatory behaviour towards minors (anyone under 18 regardless of age of consent laws) will be reported and punished immediately.

     4 – No spamming or excessive caps in chat.

     5 – English in main chat channels. /msg and /l are available to communicate privately.

     6 – Advertising and links outside of CelestialCraft related forums are not allowed in chat.

     7 – No scamming players in trades hosting or hosting any means of gambling. Especially no third-party trading. 

     8 – Griefing and raiding player’s bases without permission is not allowed. This excludes any naturally-generated buildings unoccupied by players.

     9 –  Do not claim within 150 blocks of other someone’s build without permission.

     10 – PVP is permitted in the wild and some claims but TP killing is not tolerated.

By playing CelestialCraft, you as a player agree to follow all rules listed in this website. CelestialCraft staff reserve the right to enforce the rules in place with the guidance of staff training. All players are subjected to the same rules and no one is exempt from punishment. Punishments are consistent with staff training guides unless senior staff advise a player will receive an extended punishment. This may be due to a serious offense, repeated offenses or there is a consistent breach of our server’s values.

Additionally, CelestialCraft reserves the right to withhold/suspend your account from the discord or server while you are under investigation for inappropriate conduct. If we have found a breach of T.O.S, we will seek further action through Mojang when appropriate.

All bans and punishments can be appealed on discord through CelestialCraft’s ticket system and the staff team will respond to appeals collaboratively at their discretion: keeping, reducing or lifting the player’s punishment.

CelestialCraft rules are subject to change at any time, and a changelog will be updated to notify players.

The Principles of the Rules

  • For the purpose of all rules going forward, we consider a minor to be ANYONE under the age of 18, regardless of age of consent laws in whichever country you are from. We take inappropriate messaging to minors VERY seriously. No exceptions will be made in regards to punishments handed down to those individuals.
  • Even though we are not necessarily a server aimed for children, there will most definitely at one point or another be a child present on the server. Please be mindful of this in how you act, and treat others with dignity and respect. 
  • Evading punishments by use of an alternate account is strictly prohibited. If you are found to be in violation of this, the punishment will be reapplied, with the beginning start time to both accounts. The only exceptions are if you are banned on the server for an inappropriate IGN, and if you are banned from the discord and wish to appeal said ban.
  • While these rules are as detailed as possible, they cannot cover every possible issue. The interpretation of the rules is subject to the staff members that are online at the time of the punishment being broken. If you disagree with the ruling of a punishment, please address it with a higher level staff member. Please do not create any unnecessary drama as we aim to make this a safe and fun environment for every person who logs into CelestialCraft. We appreciate your cooperation.

Ban Appeals

Ban appeals can be found in our Discord server, which can be found here. If you are banned from the Discord, you may join on an alternate Discord account to appeal your ban or DM CrystalRuntZ on Discord.

The Fine Print

Playing and engaging on or with CelestialCraft and all associated entities (Discord, Website, Social Media) is an automatic agreement to abide by the rules regardless of whether or not you yourself have taken the time to read all of the rules (we strongly recommend you do if you seriously want to play on the server). The staff team follows a specific guideline when issuing punishments. If you believe a staff member has issued a punishment incorrectly, or is targeting you, please contact a higher level staff member. In the case of someone who repeatedly breaks rules, offense times will increase with more and more punishments, and could eventually lead to a permanent ban, especially if it involves the safety of other players on CelestialCraft. As the owner of your account, you are also responsible for what happens on your account. “My brother was the one who x-rayed” is not a valid excuse and whatever account broke the rule will be punished regardless of who broke the rule. 

We thank you for your cooperation with the rules and look forward to seeing you on the server!
