Rules
Empire War rules, disallowed and allowed mods.
Use common sense at all times.
Always do your best to respect others.
Do not attempt to evade the rules.
Staff decisions are binding. Listen to staff members.
The staff have the authority to act for any reason to preserve good order and fun on the server, even if it is not in the below rules.
1
Do not use a modified (hacked) client or mod designed to give you an advantage over others in combat.
Users of such clients will receive a permanent ban. If you are unsure if a mod or client is allowed, speak to a Moderator.
Specifically allowed
✓Optifine and shaders with fast math turned off.
✓Minimaps with entity (player, mob) radar turned off.
✓Sodium, Lithium, Iris, and Starlight.
Important — Optifine
If using Optifine, you must disable “fast math”. You can do this in Options → Video Settings → Performance.
Use of “fast math” is banned and done at your own risk — it may result in a “false” ban.
The following mods/clients are specifically disallowed because they may be considered legitimate, but actually offer an advantage, and will result in you being banned or kicked:
1.1
Do not use any macros/hotkeys or mouse modifications that give you an unfair advantage over other players, i.e. autoclicker.
Additionally, the following rules regarding clicking are in place:
Rebinding multiple buttons to your attack key/left click is not allowed.
Double-clicking (or more) is not allowed. If you are found double-clicking your mouse (ie: adjusting your debounce timer, binding both L&R MB to attack) you will be banned.
Butterfly and drag clicking are allowed at your own risk. If you are using any mouse that allows you to change your debounce time, it should be set to 10 ms.
Clicking above 20 CPS may result in a ban, preceded by a warning, if you are suspected to have broken any of the rules mentioned above.
2
Do not purposefully betray your team (“teamgriefing”) by breaking barricades, opening gates, and so on.
3
Do not abuse a bug, glitch or exploit you may find.
Report it immediately. Further to this, do not spread information about said bug around the community. You can report bugs on our bug reports forum.
If a bug has significant gameplay impact, you may report it confidentially to an admin on our Discord.
4
Spawnkilling may lead to punishment — it’s best to avoid it in all circumstances.
6
Do not use multiple accounts to boost or otherwise assist in gameplay.
Applies across Minecraft, Discord, the forums and anywhere else Empire War operates.
1Empire War is an English language server, try to stick to English in all public chats. If a staff member asks you to stop speaking another language, you must do so.
2Remain respectful, and don’t engage in any activity that could be construed as bullying.
3Refrain from spamming or the use of excessive capital letters.
4Do not advertise other servers on Empire War.
5Do not advertise Empire War on other servers or otherwise bring Empire War into disrepute.
6Do not bug staff members for ranks, items, classes, money or anything to that effect.
7Do not use racist, homophobic or other slurs. If you’re unsure if you should use a word or not, it probably means you shouldn’t use it.
8Avoid entering into arguments or debates in-game, use the forums or Discord.
9Do not ever publicly accuse another player of hacking. Report them on the forums or message a moderator.
10Do not share the private information or identity of another player without their permission (“doxxing”).
11Do not debate with staff about any punishment you or anyone else might have received. The place for this is a formal appeal, and nowhere else.
1Any attempt to evade punishment on any platform (Minecraft, Discord, forums, etc.) will result in further punishment on that platform and/or others.
2Ban evasion specifically will result in a permanent ban if it was not already, and significantly reduced chances of a successful appeal.
3We recognise that individual moderators can make mistakes whilst carrying out their duties. As such, if you are punished in any way, you have the right to appeal.
4An appeal will be reviewed on the first instance by the initial moderator who carried out the punishment.
5If this first appeal is denied, you may appeal once again. This appeal will be reviewed by the server staff team as a whole, and a final decision will be made by the server administrators/moderation lead.
6After a second appeal, any further appeals submitted soon will be instantly denied/ignored. Ignoring this rule may lead you to be excluded from visiting any of our services.
7Do not try to appeal to a staff member in a public chat or in-game. Make an appeal in the appeals section of the forums.
8Do not interfere in someone else’s appeal, or try to appeal on their behalf.
