Play fair. Keep it vanilla.

Core rules

Simple server rules

Be respectful. Treat players and staff with respect. Harassment, hate speech, threats, excessive toxicity, or discrimination is not tolerated.
No cheating. Play fairly and as intended. Cheats, exploits, dupes, hacked clients, xray, freecam, baritone, auto clickers, macros, scripts, or unauthorized clients are not allowed.
Use common sense. If something is clearly harmful, disruptive, or unfair, it is not allowed even if it is not listed word for word.
No scamming or fraud. Scamming, misleading trades, fake services, payment fraud, chargeback abuse, or impersonation of players or staff is forbidden.
No harassment or targeting. Repeated targeting, stalking, baiting, or provoking other players is not allowed.
Chat rules apply everywhere. No spam, flooding, excessive caps, advertising, inappropriate content, or bypassing filters in chat, signs, books, item names, messages, or GUIs.
Respect staff and decisions. Staff instructions must be followed. Do not argue punishments or moderation actions in public chat.
No abuse of game mechanics. Do not intentionally cause lag or abuse redstone, farms, mobs, claims, economy systems, or plugins to disrupt gameplay.
One account per player. Alt accounts may not be used to gain unfair advantages, farm rewards, avoid limits, spy on players, or bypass punishments.

Vanilla gameplay

Keep gameplay fair and natural

RuneHaven has custom systems, but player actions should still feel like normal survival Minecraft. You should be controlling your own movement, clicks, camera, combat, mining, fishing, building, and farming.

Allowed behavior

Playing with the normal Minecraft client.
Grinding jobs, skills, mobs, farms, fishing, quests, and shops by actually playing.
Using normal farms that still require fair survival gameplay and do not intentionally lag the server.
Using performance mods that do not reveal hidden information or automate gameplay.

Not vanilla behavior

Using freecam or camera tools to see through areas you should not see.
Using scripts, macros, auto clickers, or bots to play for you.
Using pathfinding tools such as baritone.
Using any client feature that gives information, movement, combat, mining, placing, or economy advantages.

Cheating

Anything that gives an unfair advantage is banned

Category	Examples that are not allowed
Vision cheats	Xray, freecam, cave finders, entity tracers, ESP, ore outlines, storage finders, or resource packs that reveal hidden blocks.
Combat cheats	Kill aura, trigger bots, reach, aim assist, auto totem, auto crystal, anti knockback, or hitbox abuse.
Movement cheats	Flight, speed, step, Jesus, spider, phase, no fall, inventory move, or any movement bypass.
Automation	Macros, auto clickers, scripts, bots, baritone, auto fishing, auto mining, auto farming, auto selling, or unattended gameplay.
Exploits	Duping, bug abuse, glitch abuse, bypassing claim protection, bypassing region limits, or abusing plugin mistakes.

When unsure, ask staff before using a mod, client feature, farm design, or automation setup.

Fishing and farms

No AFK fishing farms or unfair unattended farms

Fishing rule

No AFK fishing farms.
No auto fishing mods, macros, scripts, weights, taped buttons, or unattended clickers.
You must be actively playing when fishing for money, rewards, competitions, jobs, or rare catches.
Fishing rewards may be removed if they were gained through automation or unattended gameplay.

Farm rule

Normal survival farms are allowed when they are reasonable and not built to lag the server.
Do not build clocks, mob farms, redstone systems, or entity farms designed to overload chunks.
Do not bypass progression by using scripts, alt accounts, bots, or unattended farm collection.
Staff may ask players to reduce, change, or remove farms that hurt performance.

Community conduct

Chat, trades, claims, and player interaction

Chat

Keep chat respectful.
No spam, flooding, advertising, slurs, threats, or filter bypassing.
Rules apply to signs, books, renamed items, messages, GUIs, and Discord.

Trading

No scamming or fake deals.
No impersonating staff or trusted players.
No misleading services, fake giveaways, or trade baiting.

Claims

Do not bypass claims, grief through claims, or abuse trust access.
Do not repeatedly target the same player or base.
Report claim issues instead of escalating them in chat.

Allowed mods

Keep your client clean

Allowed mods should only improve performance, visuals, accessibility, or recording without changing gameplay fairness. Anything that automates actions, reveals hidden information, or gives combat, movement, economy, mining, farming, or fishing advantages is not allowed.

Generally allowed

Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, Entity Culling, and similar performance mods.
Iris, shaders, and normal cosmetic visual mods.
Replay or recording tools that are not used for scouting, freecam advantages, or hidden information.
Resource packs that do not reveal ores, caves, entities, containers, or hidden information.

Ask staff first

Minimaps or world maps.
Litematica or schematic tools.
Any mod with easy place, printer, auto build, auto mine, auto farm, or pathfinding features.
Anything you are not fully sure about.

Staff decisions

Staff judgment applies

Rules cannot list every possible exploit, mod, client, farm, or loophole. If something is harmful, disruptive, unfair, or clearly against the spirit of vanilla gameplay, staff may treat it as rule breaking even if it is not written exactly on this page.

Staff may warn, mute, kick, ban, rollback, remove items, remove money, remove rewards, or restrict access when needed.
Do not argue punishments in public chat. Use Discord tickets or the proper appeal process.
Being unaware of a rule does not guarantee that items, money, or progress will be kept.
