The Minecraft Java Server is a community survival server with a focus on constructive gameplay, world building and adventure-having.
Please familiarize yourself with these rules before playing.
1. Uphold the Standard
The Camp Standard of Excellence, our code of conduct, applies to all Camp properties, including the Minecraft servers. Collaborate, uplift and assume positive intent while keeping a sharp eye out for cynicism and destructive behavior. It takes everyone to keep uphold the Standard.
2. No Griefing
Life is hard enough sometimes, and gaming is an escape. Do not grief other players, including but not limited to:
- Destroying parts of their base
- Moving or stealing their supplies
- Messing with people’s spawn points while they are logged out
- Culling player farms or livestock
- Leaving “so-and-so was here” signs on their base
3. Help New Folks
This is an inclusive, collaborative and community-based server. When someone joins, be kind to them and help them get up to speed if they would like the help. Of course, some players may want to forge their own path, and that is fine too!
4. Spawn is Safe
Do not build within the bedrock border around world spawn. Directly outside of world spawn is a community collaboration zone. While you may build near spawn, it is advised that you move further out to find a permanent base location.
5. Fate is Sealed
Got lost? Died from a fall? Fell into lava? THAT’S MINECRAFT BAYBEEE. Do not ask staff to be teleported out of a tough situation or to be given items that you lost from typical gameplay. This is a survival mode server and that is part of the game!
However, an exception is made for glitches and griefing. Staff can help get you some gear and supplies back if you lose it from a server issue or another player’s actions.
6. Modding Policy
While client side mods are allowed for minimaps and accessibility, those that grant an unfair advantage such as x-ray and mods that allow you to fully automate tasks such as mining. Meaning that you can’t have a bot play the game for you.
Please note that while using a minimap is allowed, we encourage the use of Xaero’s Minimap Fair-Play. As it disables features like cave maps and entity radar.
7. Player Conflict
In-lore wars and conflicts ARE allowed however, ALL parties must agree upon the rules of engagement and inform the mods.
Such battles CANNOT begin without a mod ok.
8. “Dont tell me what to build and I won’t tell you”
While advice and suggestions are a helpful part of collaboration, it does not mean that you get to tell others what they can and cannot build.
Note: mods reserve the right to remove builds as needed.
9. Accidents Happen
Sometimes we may mess up someone else’s hard work on accident, if this happens you must inform the owner and help clean up if asked.
Avoiding accountability will be considered griefing.
Rule Enforcement
While it is on everyone to keep an eye out for rule breakages and report them, Camp Counselors will take the following steps when rule breakages occur:
- First offense: Warning
- Second offense: 1 week ban from the Minecraft server
- Third offense: Permanent ban from the Minecraft server and all of the Astral Campgrounds
To be clear: The Minecraft servers are a part of the Astral Campgrounds. Breaking rules in Minecraft is no different than breaking rules anywhere else. This is a collaborative community, and so intentional repeated rule breakages are taken seriously. Thank you for understanding!
