Welcome to Zodiac Craft! These rules ensure our server, website, and Discord remain safe, enjoyable, and welcoming environments for everyone. By using any of these platforms, you agree to abide by these rules. Breaking them may result in consequences such as mutes, kicks, bans, or account restrictions, depending on the severity of the infraction.
Zodiac Craft is an English-speaking community. For moderation and clarity, we require all public communication to be in English.
Our rules can change at anytime. You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the rules. To be honest, don't be an asshole, and you should be fine.
The Zodiac Craft staff team is here to maintain a positive environment for all players. Staff decisions are always final and must be respected. If you have concerns about a decision, you may respectfully address them through the appropriate channels (e.g., contacting a senior staff member). Publicly arguing with or disregarding staff instructions is not permitted and may result in further penalties.
If you believe a staff decision was made in error, you may submit an appeal through the form available on our website. Appeals will be reviewed by senior staff, and decisions will be communicated to you directly.
At the heart of Zodiac Craft is a welcoming and inclusive community. All players, staff, and members—whether on the server, website, or Discord—are expected to treat each other with kindness, dignity, and respect. These rules exist to protect our players and maintain a healthy, drama-free environment.
1.1 No Harassment - Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes repeated unwelcome contact, name-calling, manipulation, threats, or attempts to intimidate others. Respect personal boundaries.
1.2 No Trolling - Do not purposefully provoke or upset others for entertainment. This includes baiting arguments, spamming, or mocking players in a way that disrupts the community.
1.3 No Discrimination - Zodiac Craft is a safe space for all. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any other form of discrimination is strictly prohibited.
1.4 Stay Positive - We value a supportive and uplifting environment. Excessive negativity, pessimism, or toxicity—especially without offering solutions—is discouraged.
1.5 Respect Staff - Staff are here to help. Follow their instructions, accept their decisions, and communicate concerns respectfully. Disagreements should be taken to DMs or appeal channels, not public chat.
1.6 No Passive Aggression - Indirect hostility (e.g., vague complaints or backhanded remarks) undermines the community vibe. If you have concerns, speak clearly and respectfully or contact staff.
1.7 Appropriate Humor - We love jokes—but not at others’ expense. Offensive, dark, or inappropriate humor, even if meant playfully, can make others uncomfortable and will be moderated.
1.8 Privacy Matters - Never share someone else’s personal information without their permission. This includes names, photos, locations, and private messages or screenshots.
1.9 Avoid Controversy - Keep discussions light and welcoming. Topics like politics, religion, or global conflicts often cause division and should be avoided in public chats.
1.10 No Retaliation or Escalation - If someone upsets you or breaks a rule, report it to staff instead of retaliating. Responding with insults, threats, or public drama may result in shared consequences.
1.11 Tone and Intent Don’t Override Impact - “It was just a joke” is not an excuse for harmful behavior. Be mindful of how your actions and words affect others—even if you didn’t mean harm.
1.12 Discord DMs Still Count - Harassment or inappropriate behavior in private messages (DMs) can result in punishment, especially if it originates from in-server interaction. Our rules apply across all community spaces.
1.13 No Drama Farming - Avoid stirring up conflict through gossip, vague complaints, or attention-seeking posts. If there’s an issue, bring it to staff privately and avoid public theatrics.
Adults (18+) and minors (under 18) must maintain strictly appropriate, gameplay-focused interactions. Romantic or inappropriate behavior is prohibited across all Zodiac Craft platforms. Violations may result in bans and be reported to authorities.
Encouraging others to break the rules—even if you don’t do it yourself—is still against the rules. If your words or actions contribute to harmful behavior, you may be held equally responsible. This applies to all platforms connected to Zodiac Craft: Minecraft, Discord, and our website.
2.1 No Toxic Promotion - Do not hype up, glorify, or support behavior that goes against the rules. Saying things like "Griefing is hilarious" or "You should totally troll them back" contributes to a toxic environment and will be moderated accordingly.
2.2 No Cheating Suggestions - Do not suggest or share ways to cheat, exploit glitches, or break the economy—even as a "joke." This includes telling others how to duplicate items, bypass AFK checks, or abuse server mechanics.
2.3 No Conflict Instigation - Stirring the pot is not a game. Don’t provoke players into arguments, fan the flames of drama, or encourage hostility between others. If someone is already upset, don’t egg them on.
2.4 No Peer Pressure - Don’t pressure players to do things they’re uncomfortable with or that break the rules. This includes dares, groupthink tactics, or mocking others for reporting bad behavior.
2.5 Don’t Weaponize Rules - Trying to manipulate the rules to get others punished—by baiting them, provoking a reaction, or intentionally reporting out-of-context messages—is considered encouragement of conflict and will be handled seriously.
2.6 No Encouraging Bans or “Quitting” Culture - Statements like “You should just quit” or “You’re gonna get banned anyway” are harmful and demoralizing. Zodiac Craft thrives when players feel like they belong. Don’t push people out.
2.7 Humor is Not a Shield - Encouraging rule-breaking "as a joke" still counts. Telling someone to crash the server, grief a friend, or spam a chat—even if you think it’s funny—may lead to consequences.
All communication—whether in-game, on Discord, or on the website—should remain respectful, readable, and appropriate for a community-centered environment. Chat is where friendships form and ideas are shared, so keep it clean and inclusive.
3.1 No Spam - Avoid sending the same or similar messages repeatedly, spamming characters, or flooding chat with unnecessary text or symbols. This includes spammy soundboards or reactions in voice chat.
3.2 No Unsolicited Advertising - Do not promote other Minecraft servers, Discords, social media channels, websites, or any commercial products or services. Exceptions may apply in designated self-promo channels with permission.
3.3 Swearing Policy - Mild swearing is allowed in moderation. However, excessive profanity, language directed at others, or words used to intimidate, offend, or degrade are not permitted. If in doubt, don’t type it.
3.4 No Caps Spam - Avoid using excessive capital letters. It’s fine to emphasize a word, but full messages in caps can be disruptive and are often read as yelling.
3.5 Keep It Relevant - Make sure your messages add to the conversation. Avoid derailing discussions, posting off-topic content in game channels, or using public chats for personal disputes.
3.6 English in Public Channels - All public chats and channels must remain in English so staff can moderate effectively. You're welcome to use other languages in private messages or designated channels if provided.
3.7 Keep Text Readable - Don’t use disruptive formatting like rainbow text, flashing letters, invisible fonts, or other visual tricks that make your message hard to read or annoying to look at.
3.8 No Inappropriate or Sexual Content - Sexual jokes, innuendos, roleplay, or suggestive comments are strictly prohibited—especially in public chats or voice channels. This includes NSFW discussions, links, or profile content. Keep the space friendly for all ages.
3.9 No Backseat Moderating - If someone breaks a rule, don’t call them out or try to punish them yourself—report it to staff. Publicly shaming players creates tension and derails chat.
3.10 Respect Channel Purpose - Stick to the purpose of each channel. Use help channels for support, trade channels for trades, and general chat for casual talk. This helps keep discussions organized and useful.
3.11 Staff Communications - If you are on our Minecraft server, our staff are allowed to /msg you on there. If you are in our discord server, our staff are allowed to message your account. If you do not want to be contacted by Staff, do not play on our server or belong in our discord.
Trust in staff is essential to maintaining a safe and fair community. Pretending to be a staff member, joking or not, undermines that trust and is strictly prohibited across all platforms—including Minecraft, Discord, and the website.
4.1 No Fake Names or Tags - Do not use usernames, nicknames, or display names that resemble or imitate current or former staff members. This includes similar spellings, colors, or titles (e.g., “Mod_Jasperr” or “Admin_Zodi”).
4.2 No False Claims of Authority - Never claim to be a staff member if you are not. Even jokingly saying “I’m secretly staff” or “I can ban you” creates confusion and may result in punishment.
4.3 No Pretending to Moderate - Do not issue fake warnings, threaten punishments, or act like you’re enforcing rules. Let real staff handle rule enforcement—false authority causes confusion and conflict.
4.4 Don’t Fake Support Roles - Avoid impersonating helpers, developers, or community roles by using misleading bios, profile pics, or Discord statuses. Misrepresentation—even without malicious intent—will be treated seriously.
4.5 No Impersonation of Bots or Systems - Do not create accounts, channels, or fake messages that mimic official bots, systems, or staff responses (e.g., fake punishment messages, copied mod mail, or announcement-style posts).
Zodiac Craft is a place where creativity thrives. Whether you're building a castle, a cozy cottage, or a redstone contraption, you must respect the work and space of others. The world is a shared space—treat it with care.
5.1 No Griefing - Do not break, modify, or tamper with another player’s builds—claimed or unclaimed—without explicit permission. This includes placing lava, water, or mobs to cause damage.
5.2 No Stealing - Do not take items from other players' chests, item frames, shops, farms, or bases without clear permission—even if the area is unclaimed or appears abandoned.
5.3 Claim Responsibly - Build at least 50 blocks away from other claims unless you have permission. This prevents overcrowding and helps everyone enjoy space to build and expand.
5.4 No Trespassing - Respect signs, locked doors, or any clearly marked private areas. If a space looks private—treat it as private.
5.5 No Claim Squatting or Hoarding - Claims that remain undeveloped, abandoned, or used just to reserve land may be removed at staff discretion. Don’t hoard land or block others from expanding without a reason.
5.6 No Offensive Builds - Builds that include hate symbols, inappropriate shapes, or otherwise vulgar content are strictly prohibited. This includes pixel art, banners, and redstone messages.
5.7 No Offensive Signs, Items or Books - All written content (signs, books, item names, maps, etc.) must be appropriate and free of hate speech, harassment, or explicit material.
5.8 Preserve the Environment - Avoid leaving massive holes, floating trees, or terrain scars near spawn or community areas. Use designated mining worlds or zones for heavy resource gathering.
5.9 No Lag Machines - Excessive redstone, massive entities, and machines designed to produce lag or crash the server are not allowed. If you're unsure, ask staff before building large redstone farms or auto systems.
5.10 Use Common Sense with Builds - If your structure is likely to disrupt the world’s aesthetic, block access to public areas, or intentionally inconvenience others, it may be removed or relocated. Build responsibly, especially in community zones.
Zodiac Craft is meant to be a fun and balanced experience for everyone. Cheating, exploiting, or bending the rules undermines the community. Play fair, play smart, and help keep the server enjoyable for all.
6.1 Allowed Mods Only - Only use mods that enhance visuals, performance, or user interface (e.g., OptiFine, minimaps without entity tracking, shaders). Mods that give gameplay advantages—like x-ray, auto-clickers, or auto-fishing—are strictly forbidden.
6.2 No Exploits or Glitches - Do not abuse bugs, glitches, or unintended mechanics to gain an advantage. This includes item duplication, invincibility tricks, bypassing region protection, or accessing unintended areas.
6.3 No Lag Machines or Overloaded Builds - Avoid creating redstone machines or contraptions that could cause lag. This includes large entity farms, hopper-heavy systems, or chunk loaders. Staff may remove or request changes to any build causing performance issues.
6.4 PvP Must Be Agreed Upon - No killing or attacking other players without mutual, clearly stated consent. Tricking players into PvP (e.g., teleport traps, baiting into PvP zones) will result in penalties.
6.5 No Advantage from Alt Accounts - Using alternate accounts to bypass cooldowns, claim land, AFK farms, or gain any sort of gameplay advantage is not allowed. All accounts connected to the same player will be treated as one.
6.6 Secure Your Account - Players are responsible for all activity on their accounts. Excuses like “my brother did it” will not be accepted. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication when possible.
6.7 No AFK Abuse - AFKing is allowed for simple tasks like idling or chatting, but using macros, auto-clickers, or mechanical devices to gain resources while AFK is not allowed.
6.8 No Unfair Economy Exploits - Do not manipulate shops, trades, or any economic system to unfairly inflate your balance. This includes price fixing, cross-account funneling, or exploit-based mass selling.
Trust is key to a thriving player economy. All trades, sales, and agreements must be fair, transparent, and honored in good faith. Scamming—even in jokes—undermines that trust and will not be tolerated.
7.1 Fair Trades Only - Do not mislead others about what you're offering in a trade. This includes renaming items to appear valuable, disguising inferior gear, or misrepresenting what a player is buying, selling, or receiving.
7.2 Honor All Agreements - If you agree to a trade, service, or deal—stick to it. Backing out after receiving payment or only partially completing a service may be treated as scamming.
7.3 No Fake Giveaways - Do not host fake or misleading giveaways. If you promote a giveaway, you must follow through, deliver prizes fairly, and not manipulate the outcome.
7.4 Transparent Gambling Rules - If you run any kind of player-organized lottery, casino, or gamble-style mini-game, the rules and odds must be clearly stated and consistent. Staff may review or shut down any exploitative or unfair systems.
7.5 No Auction Abuse - Do not rig auctions, inflate bids with alts or friends, or bait players into overpaying with false claims. Auction houses and trade channels must remain honest and fair.
7.6 No Impersonation for Gain - Do not impersonate trusted community members, staff, or bots to trick others into trades or payments. This includes fake Discord usernames, skins, or signs.
These are essential rules that help maintain a safe, fun, and well-managed environment. While they may not fit into earlier categories, violating them will still result in action. When in doubt—ask staff or err on the side of respect.
8.1 No Server Threats - Any threat—joking or real—of hacking, DDoSing, crashing, or disrupting the server, website, or Discord will result in immediate and severe punishment.
8.2 No Community Disruption - Do not spread false information, stir up drama, or create panic. This includes fake announcements, impersonating staff, spreading rumors, or intentionally misleading other players.
8.3 No Real-World Trading - In-game items, currency, and services may not be exchanged for real-world money, crypto, or outside items. This includes buying/selling items for PayPal, gift cards, or accounts.
8.4 Appropriate Usernames & Skins - All Minecraft usernames, Discord names, nicknames, and player skins must be appropriate for a community that includes younger players. No sexually suggestive, violent, political, or offensive content is allowed. This rule also applies to items in game (Rule 5.7)
8.5 No Ban Evasion - Do not use alternate accounts, VPNs, or other means to bypass a ban, mute, or other punishment. Appeals must go through the proper channels.
8.6 Follow Staff Guidance - If staff give direction or issue a ruling, you are expected to comply—even if it isn’t specifically written in the rules. These rules are not exhaustive, and staff may act on behavior they believe is harmful to the server.
8.7 Rules Apply Across Platforms - These rules apply on Minecraft, Discord, the website, voice chat, private messages, and any affiliated platforms or events. Just because it’s off-server doesn’t mean it won’t be enforced.
