Rules

Introduction

We aim to provide all players with the best experience on the network by providing them with a safe, fair and friendly playing environment. In order to achieve this, we enforce a set of rules which all players must follow. By logging on to the server or by making use of our Discord and forums, you agree to follow all rules listed here. Lack of knowledge about the rules will be treated as ignorance and a mistake on your part and you will not be exempted from the consequences of breaking them.

We encourage all players to read this page in full, including the Disallowed Behaviour section and clicking on each rule to view its full explanation.

Expected Behaviour

1) Behave Appropriately

Our platforms should be a friendly environment where all players can be addressed or spoken to in a respectful manner.
Why do we have this rule?
We believe all PikaNetwork platforms (Minecraft server, Discord server and the forums) should be a friendly and welcoming environment where players can freely communicate and express themselves. We encourage everyone to cooperate and compete in a positive environment, but never in a way that disrespects or causes discomfort for other players.



In short: treat others the way you would like to be treated.
What do we mean by behaving appropriately?
Behaving appropriately means that players should not create negative experiences for other players or otherwise display improper conduct. Common examples:
  • Advertising social media or Minecraft servers
  • Sending forbidden links
  • Using swear words in the chat
  • Repeating the same message multiple times
  • Pretending to be a staff member
  • Being rude towards others
A full list of disallowed behaviour can be found below in the Disallowed Behaviour section.
Does profanity fall under this rule?
Yes, it does. Using bad language is not allowed on PikaNetwork, even if it is not directed towards a player.
Does this rule only cover chat messages?
No, it covers all forms of communication and player activity. Inappropriate structures, skins, capes, names and similar are all forbidden.

2) No Unfair Advantages

All players have the right to play in a fair and clean environment.
Why do we have this rule?
We want to keep our gameplay on an even playing field for everyone, so we do not allow any modifications which provide an unfair advantage over the default Minecraft launcher.

Other unfair advantages are also forbidden.
What is an unfair advantage?
  • Abusing bugs for personal benefit (report them HERE instead)
  • Cross teaming
  • Doing (or attempting to do) trades involving Minecraft accounts, real money or other goods/services unrelated to PikaNetwork
  • Evading punishments
  • Owning illegal items
  • Stat boosting
  • Team griefing
  • Teaming with cheaters
  • Using auto-clickers or macros
  • Using illegal trapping methods
  • Using unapproved modifications (more information can be found HERE)
A full list of disallowed behaviour can be found below in the Disallowed Behaviour section.
How do I know if a modification is allowed or not?
A full list and explanation of officially allowed modifications can be found HERE.

Anything not explicitly listed as allowed in that thread is considered 'use at your own risk' and we do not recommend using it.
What type of trading is disallowed?
Trading Minecraft accounts, items/currencies/other goods on other platforms/Minecraft servers and anything involving real money or goods is against our rules. Trades may only involve PikaNetwork ranks, items and currencies.

Doing trades which involve the gold currency of PikaNetwork or items from our official store is allowed provided that no accounts, items/currencies/other goods on other platforms/Minecraft servers or real money/goods are involved.
What is punishment evasion?
Punishment evasion refers to playing or using the chat on an alternative account while another account of you is IP-banned or IP-muted. Doing so is disallowed.

3) English Only

All players must only speak English in the public chat. Using other languages is forbidden.
Why do we have this rule?
We want all players to be able to be able to freely communicate with each other. This is not possible if they are speaking different languages.

In addition, it is not possible for our staff members to moderate the chat if they cannot understand what is being said, so we expect everyone to speak English.
Does this rule apply to all chats and platforms?
No, this rule only applies to the public chat on our Minecraft server (including spectator and game chats). Using foreign languages is allowed on Discord and the forums.
What is considered a private chat?
In the context of this rule, private messages (/msg and /fmsg) and group chats (party chats, guild chats and similar) are considered private chats.

This means using non-English languages is allowed in them.

Disclaimers

Account Sharing

We strongly discourage players from sharing their accounts. Several of our punishments include IP-bans and IP-mutes. Sharing your account could land you in trouble since your IP address will be linked to other accounts and vice versa. It also poses risks to your account's security. Your account is your responsibility.

High CPS Clicking Methods

Any form of auto-clicking is strictly forbidden (including the Minecraft version 1.15+ option). We also strongly discourage manual clicking methods that cause high CPS. Although there is no official CPS cap, you might get banned for cheating due to clicking too quickly even if you are not cheating.

Non-PC Gameplay

Playing on non-PC applications (phones, tablets and similar) can make you appear like you are cheating even when you are not and can get you punished either by our anti-cheat or our staff members, so we strongly recommend you stay away from non-PC applications for Minecraft.

VPN Usage

VPN usage is not disallowed. However, we strongly discourage players from using a VPN on our server. There is a chance you will join the server on a banned or muted IP address which could land you in trouble since your IP address will be linked to other accounts and vice versa.
