Server Rules

To ensure compliance with server policies, players must carefully read and adhere to the server rules at all times to avoid any potential penalties or disciplinary action.
The server rules may be subject to periodic amendment, modification, or supplementation without prior notice. The staff of The Dojo reserves the right to take necessary action at all times to uphold the best interests of the server, even if such action is not explicitly outlined on this page. Any entity whose conduct falls outside the parameters of the server's best interests may be subject to punitive action as deemed appropriate by The Dojo staff.

- The use of alternate accounts to evade bans, grief, or cheat in any way is strictly prohibited on the server. Players must refrain from using alternate accounts for any such purposes. 

- Using AFK farms that enable players to acquire resources without actively participating in the game is not allowed on the server. Players must not use such farms while playing on the server. 

- Exploiting game mechanics in a manner that confers an unfair advantage is not allowed on the server. Players must not use glitches, such as going through walls or floors, to gain any such advantage while playing on the server.

4. No spamming or begging

- Players must not kill mobs belonging to other players, including those spawned by a spawner block, without obtaining the owner's consent.

- No fraudulent auctions: Players should not engage in fraudulent auctions where they intentionally misrepresent the items being auctioned or attempt to scam other players out of their currency.

7. No abusing donations

- No giving unfair advantages: Donations should not give players an unfair advantage over others, such as special privileges, items, or abilities that are not available to non-donating players.

- Donations should not involve the sale of in-game items or currency for real-world money, as this creates an unfair advantage for those who can afford to pay.

8. Respect town rights

- Players should not cause harm to any players, animals, or crops within a town, and should take care not to cause any accidental damage.

- It is against the rules for players to profit from exploiting any glitches, bugs, or loopholes within a town's systems or structures for their own gain.

- No unauthorized modifications: Players should not modify or alter any buildings, structures, or other town-related items without permission from the town's owner or mayor.

- Players should not steal or take any items or resources from a town's chests, farms, or other communal areas without permission.
