Rules

Keep the world fun for everyone. By joining SpoonSMP you agree to follow these rules.

Last updated: 12 October 2026

01Respect everyone

SpoonSMP is a shared world. Treat other players and staff the way you'd want to be treated.

  • No harassment, bullying, threats or targeted insults.
  • No hate speech, slurs or discrimination of any kind.
  • No doxxing or sharing anyone's personal information, including in DMs and on Discord.
  • Keep it friendly: banter is fine, but stop when someone asks you to.

02Chat

Chat is for everyone, so keep it readable and safe.

  • No spam, flooding or excessive caps.
  • No advertising other servers, channels or products.
  • No sexual or graphic content, in chat, signs, books, builds, skins or usernames.
  • No impersonating staff or other players.

03Fair play

Play the game as it comes. Anything that gives you an unfair advantage over other players is not allowed.

  • No hacked clients or cheats: x-ray, kill aura, fly, speed, auto-clickers, scaffold and similar.
  • No resource packs or mods that reveal hidden information (x-ray packs, entity radars, cave-finding minimaps).
  • Cosmetic and performance mods such as Sodium, shaders and plain minimaps are fine.
  • Not sure whether something is allowed? Ask staff on Discord first.

04Bugs & exploits

Minecraft has bugs. If you find one, report it rather than using it.

  • No duplication glitches or any exploit that creates items, XP or currency out of nothing.
  • No exploiting the server, plugins or the Bedrock/Java crossplay layer.
  • Report bugs and exploits to staff. Anything gained from an exploit may be removed.

05Griefing, theft & PvP

What other players build and own is theirs, whether or not it is protected.

  • No griefing: don't destroy, modify, burn, flood or deface other players' builds.
  • No stealing from other players' chests, bases or farms, claimed or not.
  • PvP is by consent only. Don't attack players who haven't agreed to fight, and don't trap-kill or spawn-camp.
  • Scamming other players, including false trades and fake giveaways, is treated as theft.

06Building & performance

The server is shared, so keep your builds from slowing it down for everyone.

  • No lag machines or builds designed to crash or slow the server.
  • Keep entity farms, hoppers and redstone clocks reasonable. Staff may ask you to reduce or remove anything causing lag.
  • Don't build in a way that blocks spawn, travel routes or other players' land.
  • No offensive builds, pixel art or signs.

07Accounts & usernames

Play on your own account and keep it appropriate.

  • Don't share your account or log in on someone else's.
  • Usernames and skins must follow the same standards as chat.
  • Alt accounts are not allowed for evading a punishment, farming rewards or gaining an unfair advantage.
  • Never try to get around a mute or ban. Evasion leads to a permanent ban.

08Staff & punishments

Staff are volunteers keeping the server fun. Follow their instructions and keep disagreements out of public chat.

  • Punishments depend on the severity and history of the offence: warning, mute, kick, temporary ban or permanent ban.
  • Serious breaches (cheating, harassment, threats, anything illegal) can lead straight to a permanent ban.
  • Think a punishment was a mistake? Appeal through our Discord and stay polite. Staff will take another look.
  • Staff may act on behaviour not listed here if it harms the server or its players.

09Discord

These rules apply on our Discord too. You also need to follow the Discord Terms of Service, and Minecraft players need to follow the Minecraft EULA.

Rules can change. We update them when needed, and not knowing a rule isn't an excuse. Questions about what's allowed? Ask staff on our Discord. See also our Terms and Privacy Policy.
