Code of Conduct

Anchorhelm is a Worldbuilding and Nationbuilding Minecraft server. Every rule in this Code of Conduct exists to serve or protect one of the following:

  1. Nationbuilding
  2. Economy
  3. Lore and Writing
  4. Overall Player Experience

Each of these four areas forms its own section below. Rules are enforced on an escalating scale — Infraction, Day Ban, Week Tempban, Month Tempban, Permaban, or Other, depending on severity. 3 Infractions make a Week Tempban. 6 Infractions make a Permaban.

Nationbuilding (NB)

  1. Nation and Town names must be appropriate for the server and its fictional world
    1. No suggestive or sexual names
    2. No names containing swears
    3. No name-drops of real life cities or nations
  2. Nations cannot blatantly subscribe to harmful and discriminatory real-world ideologies (Fascism, Racism, Ableism, Homophobia)
    1. Communism and Socialism are typically allowed, because for all of their flaws it is not ruining the experience of others by its mere existence. Must comply also with rule 2b.
    2. Statues and references to real world leaders, harmful or not, are not allowed.
  3. Flags/Banners cannot be direct copies of real-world flags
  4. Towns must contain a permanent population, or they will be deleted
  5. Nations must have a Forum page on the Discord, or a Wiki page on the fandom, detailing their lore in some way. (Not enforced yet)
  6. War can be transcontinental, but if the war is enacted for no reason or for expansion for expansion's sake, it must be only on neighboring nations

Economy (EC)

  1. No Automatic or AFK farms. This includes (but is not limited to) any Iron Farms, Gold Farms, Crop Farms, Tree Farms, and Mob Grinders

    2. No player action automation, such as TinyTask (or similar) or Baritone
    3. No XP Farms
    4. No AFK fishing
    5. Super-Smelters are allowed
    6. Some exceptions may be made by staff, but do not assume that your machine is an exception. When in doubt, don't build it.
