Server Rules

A. Introduction

By connecting to mpl you automatically agree to follow these rules. We also reserve the right to change any of the rules at any time, it is your duty to keep up to date with them (we will ping important rule changes in our discord).

We have a “zero tolerance” response to toxicity, cheating, and/or ruining the experience for others. Feel free to record your perspective, but staff members will always have the final say, even if a specific rule/punishment isn't listed on this page.

You are allowed to record any instance of our network that doesn’t involve screensharing. If you believe that a staff member is cheating and/or abusing their power, please report it. We ask you to keep all recordings unlisted/private until we have dealt with the situation accordingly.

Asking repeatedly/demanding an overturn of your punishment will result in all of your current and future appeals being automatically denied. We will try to keep track of every punishment recorded and do our best due diligence to keep false rates low at a fair and consistent level.

Additionally, repeat offenders/problematic players can/will be banned off of all of our platforms, regardless of their punishment level.

Note: We know there are a lot of rules to follow, and we genuinely will try to be very lenient (but fair) in certain situations with the way we handle things. The number one unwritten rule is to use common sense play the game, and contact staff if you have any problems. If you’re honest and genuinely not causing any issues we’ll most likely work with you.

If the Minecraft community wasn’t so toxic, we wouldn’t have to spend so long listing out every single rule and punishment on the server.

    Note :You will be blacklisted on the 1st offense if you are caught for cheating during a screenshare. Butterfly clicking is at your own risk, and double clicking is not allowed. We will not witchhunt you for this, but if your mouse is found double clicking (intentionally or not), you only get 1 warning before the normal punishments apply.

    This also includes “mouse abusing”, macros and/or changing your debounce timer (if you’re using the glorious model o or any mouse that allows you to change your debounce setting, it should be set to a minimum of 10 ms).

    Drag clicking on your “use” button will be seen with a bit more leniency if you’re only placing blocks/throwing projectiles.

    Once that warning is up, no exceptions. Meaning, if you’re banned by the anticheat/manually banned with anticheat logs, that decision is final.(We will not unban you once your first warning is up, so please use common sense).

    Only if these decisions are false(depending on the circumstance) will we ever unban anyone.

    Additionally, Lag switching is not allowed. (Ex. Clumsy,‌ ‌Netlimiter,‌ ‌Netbalencer‌, ‌etc). If you get logs from using any of these programs and the anticheat bans you, we will not overturn this decision. However, TCP Optimization programs such as ghast.io, are allowed.
