Build Protection Guidelines
To ensure player builds are protected from damage, the following rules apply:
  • Builds must be at least 30 blocks away from another player’s build.
  • Protection corners must be clearly marked above ground, even for underground builds.
  • A protection may include up to six additional players. Group builds (e.g., towns, hotels) follow the same protection rules (one owner, six members).
  • Builds must be located in a designated build world to be eligible for protection.
No Griefing
Griefing, defined as the intentional, unapproved editing or damaging of another player’s property, is strictly prohibited. To report griefing, use the command “/modreq I was griefed,” and a staff member will assist promptly. Griefing includes:
  • Damaging another player’s build, even if unprotected.
  • Killing another player’s pets or mobs.
  • Stealing items from unprotected chests.
  • Protecting builds, chests, or doors that do not belong to you.
Family-Friendly Builds
All builds must be appropriate for a family-friendly environment. If an inappropriate build is found, report it using “/modreq inappropriate build” while standing nearby. Staff will review and remove if necessary. Inappropriate builds include, but are not limited to:
  • Symbols, emblems, or shapes representing intolerant or hateful groups.
  • Representations of private body parts.
  • Swearing or hateful words in blocks, signs, or books.
  • “Adults-only” establishments (e.g., casinos, bars, nightclubs) or references to alcohol/drugs.
Skins and Banners
Skins and banners must be family-friendly and may not be used to scare, annoy, harass, or impose views on others. Staff may request changes to non-compliant skins or banners before gameplay can resume. Prohibited content includes:
  • Herobrine, Creepypasta, or Five Nights at Freddy’s themes.
  • Blood or gore.
  • Indecent exposure or nudity.
One Account Per Player
Alternate or shared accounts are not permitted on Arcane Mine Craft Cafe. Alternate accounts will be removed from the whitelist, and shared accounts will be addressed by staff accordingly.
Trapping/Killing Players
Intentionally trapping or killing another player is prohibited. Traps will be removed, and responsible players will face consequences.
Public Builds
Players who create builds for community use are responsible for their maintenance. Public builds must adhere to the Protection Guidelines outlined above.
Redstone Usage
To maintain server performance, redstone builds must comply with the following:
  • No continuously running redstone clocks or machines.
  • A maximum of 100 hoppers per build.
    Staff reserves the right to request removal of builds that excessively strain server resources.
Pet Ownership Limits
To reduce server lag, the following limits apply per player in a loaded area (defined as a 10-chunk radius around a player):
  • 10 of each animal type, with exceptions:
    • Sheep: Up to 32 (any color combination).
    • Villagers: Up to 15.
    • Wolves: Up to 18.
  • Large groups of mobs must be spaced at least 20 chunks apart to avoid simultaneous loading.
  • Villager trading areas must be designed to ensure no more than 15 villagers are loaded at once.
Tamed Animals
Players must not leave pets in areas not owned by them, as pets are vulnerable to damage (e.g., arrows, flames, or fall damage for wolves). Keep pets safe in your own area and treat them with care, as you would a real-life pet.
Enforcement
Violations of these guidelines may result in warnings, temporary restrictions, or removal from the server, depending on the severity. Arcane Mine Craft Cafe is committed to maintaining a fair, safe, and enjoyable environment for all players.
Overview
At Arcane Mine Craft Cafe, we strive to maintain a fair, understanding, and family-friendly environment. Staff members utilize various tools to enforce rules, with the specific tool chosen at the discretion of the staff member present. In most cases, players will receive one or more verbal warnings, delivered publicly or through private messages, before further action is taken.
If you or your child face disciplinary consequences, you may contact a staff member via in-game private chat, the “/helpop” command, a message through the website, or the official Facebook page. When contacting via email or Facebook, please include the player’s username. Parents are encouraged to regularly check the email provided in the whitelist application for updates regarding the player.Disciplinary Measures
  • Mute
    A mute prevents a player from communicating in chat or channels and is typically applied for chat-related violations. Players will generally receive a message explaining the reason for the mute and may respond using in-game books or signs. Admins can also be reached via the “/helpop” command.
  • Jail
    Jail confines a player to a designated area where they cannot leave or interact with others. This measure is primarily, but not exclusively, used for gameplay rule violations. Players may remain in jail until staff can contact their parent or guardian.
  • Ban
    In severe cases, players who repeatedly violate rules may be temporarily banned from accessing the Arcane Mine Craft Cafe server. The duration of the ban is determined by admins, and in some cases, the ban may remain in place until a parent or guardian is contacted to discuss the player’s understanding of the rules.
  • Whitelist Removal
    In rare instances, players who consistently engage in destructive behavior or demonstrate they are not prepared for a multiplayer environment may be removed from the whitelist. Such players may be given the opportunity to reapply in the future.
Player Expectations
This document does not cover all rules or expected behaviors on Arcane Mine Craft Cafe. If a staff member requests that you cease a specific behavior, you must comply immediately. If you disagree with a staff member’s decision, contact an admin privately through in-game messaging or other official channels. Public arguments with staff are not permitted.
Commitment to Fairness
Arcane Mine Craft Cafe is dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive environment. All disciplinary actions are intended to uphold these values and ensure a positive experience for all players.
