⛏️ Minecraft Server Rules

Welcome to the Official Divergent Minecraft Server! Our goal is to provide a friendly, fair, and enjoyable experience for every player. These rules protect our community, maintain server performance, and help everyone enjoy the game.

🤝 Welcome to Divergent!
By joining an Official Divergent Minecraft server, you agree to follow these rules. Please read them carefully. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, ask a staff member before proceeding.

📜 Server Rules

All players are expected to follow these rules. Staff may take appropriate action when a rule is broken.

1🤝 Respect & Community

Be Respectful

Treat all players and staff with courtesy and respect. Harassment, bullying, discrimination, hate speech, and toxic behaviour will not be tolerated. Help create a welcoming community where everyone can enjoy playing together.

No Advertising

Advertising other Minecraft servers, Discord communities, websites, products, services, or social media is prohibited unless approved by the staff team.

No Staff Impersonation

Do not impersonate:

  • Administrators or moderators
  • Developers
  • Operators (OP)
  • Other players

Impersonation may result in immediate moderation action.

Don't Ask for Staff

Do not ask to become a Moderator, Administrator, or Operator. Staff members are selected based on activity, maturity, community involvement, trustworthiness, and their ability to help others.

2👮 Staff Applications

To be eligible for a staff position, you must:

  • Be at least 15 years old.
  • Have been an active community member for at least 6 months.
  • Demonstrate maturity and a positive attitude.
  • Have a good understanding of the server rules.

Meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Applications and appointments remain at the discretion of the staff team.

3💬 Chat Rules

English Only

Please use English in public chat so staff can effectively moderate conversations and assist players.

No Spam

Avoid spamming messages, flooding chat, excessive capital letters, and repeated characters or symbols. Keep chat readable.

Keep Chat Friendly

The following are not allowed:

  • Racism and hate speech
  • Excessive profanity
  • Personal attacks and discrimination
  • NSFW discussions

Links

Do not post external links unless approved by staff.

Report Issues Correctly

Report server lag, bugs, player misconduct, and exploits through the appropriate Discord support channels rather than public chat.

Discord Integration

Minecraft chat is linked directly with our Discord server. The same rules apply across both platforms. Private messages may be logged and reviewed by staff where necessary for moderation purposes.

4🔧 Mods & Clients

Allowed Mods

Mods that improve the user experience without providing an unfair advantage are permitted. Examples include:

  • OptiFine
  • Sodium
  • Iris and shaders
  • Inventory management mods
  • Mini-maps without player radar or cave mapping

If you are unsure whether a mod is allowed, ask staff before using it.

Prohibited Mods

Any modification that provides an unfair gameplay advantage is prohibited. Examples include:

  • X-Ray
  • Kill Aura
  • Auto Clickers
  • Reach modifications
  • Fly Hacks and Speed Hacks
  • ESP and fullbright exploit clients
  • Macro abuse and hacked clients

Using prohibited modifications may result in an immediate ban.

Official Launcher Only

Cracked launchers and unauthorised game clients are not supported and are not permitted on the server.

5⚒️ Gameplay Rules

Respect Player Builds

Do not grief builds, steal items, or modify another player's property without permission. Always ask before interacting with another player's base.

Build Responsibly

Avoid unnecessary structures that clutter the world, including:

  • Random pillars and 1×1 towers
  • Large floating platforms
  • Unfinished builds that clutter the world

Offensive Content

The following are prohibited:

  • Offensive builds
  • Inappropriate skins or usernames
  • Offensive item names
  • Hate symbols

Redstone & Performance

Large automated farms and continuously running redstone machines can affect performance. Speak to staff before building anything that may cause excessive lag. Staff may request changes or removal if performance becomes an issue.

6🐄 Animals & Fair Play

Animal Limits

To help maintain server performance, players are limited to:

20 animals of each type.

Additional animals may be removed if limits are exceeded.

Fair Play

Do not:

  • Scam other players.
  • Create traps designed to unfairly kill players.
  • Abuse game mechanics.
  • Exploit bugs or glitches.

Play fairly and respect everyone else's progress.

PvP

PvP is only permitted in designated PvP areas or during approved events. Outside these situations, attacking other players is prohibited.

No Begging

Avoid repeatedly asking for items, money, ranks, permissions, or staff positions. Polite requests are acceptable, but persistent begging is not.

7🔐 Account Security

You are responsible for the security of your own Minecraft account.

  • Account sharing is not permitted.
  • Never share your login information with anyone.
  • You are responsible for activity carried out through your account.

Keep your login details private and contact staff if you believe your account has been compromised.

8⚖️ Rule Enforcement

Depending on the severity and frequency of an offence, staff may issue one or more of the following:

  • Verbal warning
  • Official warning
  • Temporary mute
  • Kick
  • Temporary ban
  • Permanent ban
  • IP ban for severe or repeated offences

Punishments are issued at the discretion of the staff team and are based on the circumstances, severity, and frequency of rule violations.

🆘 Appeals & Support

If you believe a punishment was issued incorrectly or you need assistance, contact a member of staff through our Discord server.

Please provide relevant details and remain respectful throughout the appeals process. Abusive behaviour towards staff will not help resolve an appeal.
