Midgard Minecraft Server

We're pretty laid back, and don't have many rules. But we do require that you follow these simple, common-sense rules that keep the gameplay fair and relaxed for everyone involved. Please note that our server is 16+ only!

Rules Doc

Our Rules

No Griefing — You are responsible for all activity that originates from your Minecraft account. Make sure your password is secure and do not give it out to anyone. Note that altering public roads and builds without staff permission is considered griefing. TNT is prohibited and fire spread is disabled. Griefing is considered but not limited to the following: Destroying builds/land, 1x1 holes to bedrock, TNT/Lava placement with the intention to destroy, etc.
No Stealing — If you don't have explicit permission to touch or take something, don't mess with it. Do not use private farms or grinders without permission from the owner.
No Hacked Clients — Hacked Clients, X-ray, Flight, Speed, Insta-break, block duplication, gamma cheats and other exploits are prohibited.
Crowding — Keep your builds at a reasonable distance between other players unless you have permission. This is a big map, so there is plenty of room!
Lag Machines — Please keep your hopper/sorter count and size in check. Larger Redstone builds should have a switch to be turned off when you're not using them. Please keep mob farms to 100 entities.
Land Claims — Do not claim land if you don't plan to build on it. Abandoned builds will be removed at the staff's discretion.
Mining — Use the Resource world for mining and cutting trees. Underground mining is permitted on the main world only within your property's borders. Do not leave floating trees.

Code of Conduct

Server Chat — Please refrain from spamming chat and using all caps. All server chat (voice and text) are in English.
Voice Chat — Refrain from playing loud music or sound files. Minimal use of sound boards is OK as long as it is not disruptive. If you are streaming voice chat, ensure that you have the consent of all players on the Mumble or Discord server. Short AFK periods are fine, but excessive AFK periods may get you moved to the AFK channels. Please make sure your audio levels are set up properly. Be respectful and don't be rude or vulgar.
Maturity — We cater to mature, seasoned players, so that means refraining from excessive swearing, hate speech, religious and political discussions.

Building Guidelines

Roads — Please do not build up against roads. Ensure that your walkways are centered between the lamps on the road. There should be at least 12-15 blocks between your build and the road. Do not alter roads without staff approval.
Bridges — Be sure to make bridges at least two blocks high so boats can pass under.
Towns — There are towns and developments managed by other players, please get permission from the responsible parties before building in them. You are also free to start your own development if land is available.
