Rules
The rules are here to protect the community, not to catch people out.
STEMCraft works best when players know what is expected of them. These rules are meant to keep the space respectful, readable, and fair for players, families, workshop groups, and regular community members alike.
If you are unsure about something, the safest approach is simple: respect other people’s time, builds, and ability to enjoy the server without being hassled.
Respect people
No bullying, harassment, hate speech, threats, or behaviour aimed at making others feel unwelcome.
Respect the world
Do not grief, steal, vandalise, or interfere with builds, areas, or shared resources that are not yours.
Respect fair play
Do not exploit bugs, cheat, evade moderation, or use the server in ways that undermine the wider community.
How moderation is handled
Moderation actions can include warnings, mutes, kicks, bans, or account restrictions depending on the issue and whether it is ongoing or repeated.
Core rules
1. Be respectful in chat and in behaviour
No abusive language, targeted harassment, repeated hostility, or behaviour that creates pressure or discomfort for others.
2. Do not grief, steal, or sabotage
Leave other players’ creative builds, resources, and community areas alone unless you have clear permission to help or modify them.
Of course, in survival based worlds, it is every block for themselves!
3. Do not cheat or exploit the server
That includes hacked clients, deliberate duplication, loopholes, moderation evasion, or abusing technical faults for unfair advantage.
4. Help keep shared spaces usable
Avoid spammy builds, repeated clutter, disruptive redstone or lag-heavy setups, and behaviour that makes the server worse for everyone else.
What happens if rules are broken
Moderation is not always one-size-fits-all. The response depends on the seriousness of the issue, any pattern of repeated behaviour, and whether the player is engaging constructively after the problem is raised.
Lower-level issues
These may lead to reminders, warnings, or short restrictions where that is enough to correct the behaviour.
Serious or repeated issues
These can lead to mutes, kicks, bans, or more permanent account restrictions if needed to protect the community.
Public visibility
Some moderation actions are visible on the punishments page so the community can understand how active restrictions are being handled.
