Server Rules
These are the core rules for Shadows of Aethro. By playing on our server, you agree to follow them. Breaking these rules may result in a kick, mute, or permanent ban.
I. General Conduct
Treat all players with basic decency. Bigotry, harassment, hate speech, and targeted hostility are strictly forbidden. We are a queer-friendly community. Respect identities and pronouns without exception.
II. Griefing & Theft
Stealing from others or griefing bases is prohibited. Respect the boundaries of player claims, towns, and builds. If it is not yours, do not touch it.
III. Cheating & Exploits
No cheating, hacked clients, x-ray, or exploiting bugs. Using unintended glitches for an unfair advantage is not allowed. Report any major bugs or exploits to the staff immediately.
IV. Item Refund Policy
Dying is part of the game. We only refund items if you died directly due to a verified server bug or crash.
Not Refundable
- Falling into the Void
- Killed by Mobs or Bosses
- Killed by Machines or Contraptions
- Death by Fire, Lava, or Fall Damage
Refundable (Ticket Required)
- Catastrophic Server Lag / Crashes
- Verified Server Bugs
- Glitches & Desyncs
- Dimensional Teleport Errors
V. Server Performance
Ensure your mob farms, redstone loops, and massive entity enclosures do not cause excessive lag. Staff may pause, break, or dismantle any lag-inducing contraptions that negatively impact server TPS.
VI. PvP & Combat
PvP is enabled, but do not be toxic. The act of noob killing—intentionally and repeatedly targeting new, defenseless, or under-geared players—is strictly prohibited.
VII. AFK Bypassing
Using AFK pools, macros, auto-clickers, or physical weights on your keyboard to bypass the server's AFK kick timer is prohibited. If you need to step away, let the server kick you. Do not bypass the system just to hoard resources or load chunks while you aren't actually playing.
