We have decided to update our official rules and the following will explain them
Alt accounts
Staff have recently decided to strictly start banning alts of banned accounts. So if you are banned and found out to be on an alt account it will also be banned. Each account then must post separate appeals as per usual.
Wilderness and Nether rules
There is now a concrete ruleset for players to follow. As Staff have stated before it is the same rules as the nether.
For those who are unsure of those rules I will post them here again for you:
No griefing with an exception, you can call them "Base wars", "Battles", "War" whatever you want but the rules go as follows. If all parties aka players or factions agree upon a "War" they are allowed to grief each other in any form such as using tnt ect. Also if all parties do agree to a "War" all parties should be able to provide screenshots of the agreement incase any dispute arises.
Looting
As you all know looting is allowed in the nether and is now allowed in the Wilderness, we have also added a new addition to the rule. Placed valuables, defined as Diamond, Gold, Iron, Lapis, Emerald, Glowstone, Obsidian, Mossy cobble, Mossy stone brick, Cracked stone brick, Chiseled stone brick, Anvils, Blocks of Quartz(Chiseled, Pillar, Stairs, Slabs), and Enchanting tables, as well as raiding crops (wheat, melons etc.), fall under the looting rule.
*Exception: Destroying portals for the Obsidian in them will be considered griefing.
I have added some Q and A's for the tldr people:
Q: If both parties have a "battle" can it be rolled back by staff?
A: No, if you both agree to any griefing during a "battle" you must fix it by hand again.
Q: What if griefing isn't agreed upon?
A: If all parties don't agree to the griefing, then treat is as any other normal griefing.
Q: What if they griefed into someone's base to loot?
A: The griefing is allowed with or without consent as long as its repaired afterwards.
Q: If a player is throwing snow balls or hitting me with a fishing rod and I ask them to stop and they refuse what can I do?
A: Contact a staff member, they will be warned. If they continue they can/will be banned for harassment. In general, throwing snowballs or hitting a player with a fishing rod is not bannable.
Edit: I added in the blocks that can be looted in the wilderness which include both placed ore and blocks.
Edit: Included the nether specifically in this ruleset.
Edit: Added anvils to the lootable list.
