Griefing and Raiding
Griefing on Survival includes the destruction or raiding of any claimed player-made structure that does not belong to you. This includes, but is not limited to, breaking blocks, taking items, tampering with redstone, griefing with water or fire, killing pets or livestock and stealing crops…
Please make sure you make good use of the features available on the server to protect your builds, items and farms. If they are unclaimed, they will not receive attention or aid from staff members. These include the claiming system and the lockette private sign feature.
If you are unsure how to use these features, check out the Survival Guide or ask a staff member!
Moderators may punish for the griefing of unclaimed land at their discretion, such as griefing of claim borders. This will usually only apply in clear cases of harrassment or bullying.
Teleport Trapping/Killing
Constructing and/or using traps that intentionally kill players while their PvP is disabled is prohibited. If you come across a TP-Killer/Trapper, alert a member of the staff team immediately.
Killing players when their PvP is enabled is allowed and keepinventory is enabled for all PvP deaths. However, in the rare case that the keepinv fails, we do not guarantee that we will be able to recover any items you have lost so PvP with care.
Inappropriate Builds & Auctions
Building offensive or inappropriate builds, writing offensive or inappropriate signs and/or auctioning offensive or inappropriately named items is prohibited.
Examples of inappropriate builds would include swastikas, reproductive organs, references to terrorism, etc. Examples of inappropriate language would include any slurs, nsfw or offensive language, bullying, etc.
Staff members reserve the right to moderate these at their discretion.
Scamming
Scamming or attempting to scam people by misrepresenting items when using /auction with the intention to mislead people about the value of the item is prohibited. If you suspect someone of scamming or attempting to scam players, please provide a moderator with evidence such as a full-screen screenshot.
Redstone & Farms
0-Tick farms and redstone chunk loaders are not allowed on Survival and may result in a punishment if built and used. Any machine that relies on duping is also disallowed. Please always be considerate of other players experience on the server when planning your builds and avoid creating anything that will cause excessive server or fps lag.
Lag machines are machines built for the sole purpose of causing extreme server lag, and for that reason are strictly prohibited on Munchy. If you happen to come across one of these machines or suspect one is being made/used, please inform a member of the staff team immediately so we can handle it. We take this offence very seriously and the punishment may extend to a blacklist.
We reserve the ability to remove and warn/punish for other types of machines that cause large amounts of lag on the server - such as certain types of fly machine or excessively large mob farms, etc.
Bug/Glitch Abuse
If you discover or are informed of a bug/glitch, tell a staff member immediately (you may even be rewarded). All bugs MUST be reported to a staff member when they are found; spreading or keeping silent about a bug may result in severe punishment. Withholding information from a staff member when asked may result in a similar punishment.
Intentionally busing a bug will result in a temporary or permanent ban, depending on the severity of the offense.
Modification Rules
Macros/Autoclickers and Modified Keybinds
The use of a modification or program to automatically generate clicks for you or similar is considered cheating and will result in a permanent ban.
Using an attack keybind (rebinding ‘attack’ to a key other than left or right click on your mouse) is also prohibited and will be treated the same as a macro or autoclicker.
Accommodations for disability-related changes may be considered at our discretion. Please contact a member of staff before beginning to use an adaptation that would break these rules.
In-game Modifications
Modifications that provide you with an in-game advantage over others are not allowed.
This includes any automatic block-placing features, inventory-sorting features or features that allow you to place unsupported blocks in schematic mods. Examples include easyplacemode or printer in litematica.
LIST OF PRE-APPROVED MODIFICATIONS
Brightness Modifications
Modifications that allow you to adjust your gamma/brightness levels.
Client Sided Enhancement Mods
This includes any modifications that enhance and/or improve client sided things. Examples are FPS boosters, Potion Effect Status mods, Armor Status mods, Coordinate/Direction mods, etc. As long as the mod only makes it easier to see information that is already available to you without the use of the modification, it falls under this category.
Shaders & Resource Packs
Shaders that slightly modify the quality, or look of Minecraft are allowed. Same thing goes for resource and texture packs. Packs that modify block properties are NOT allowed. One of the most common type of packs that modify block properties are Xray ones. Using this type of pack will result in a permanent ban.
If your modification is not covered by anything on this list, DO NOT use it, or ask a staff member for extra clarification.
Chat Rules
Chat Tone
On Survival, we try our best to keep the chat largely family-friendly. You will be warned and/or muted for excessive swearing, toxicity, provocation, bullying and/or threats. We also warn for anything that would be considered NSFW. Doxing, DDoS and Dox threats are treated seriously, as these are extremely major offenses.
Please pay attention to the moderators and be mindful that their may be young players on the server.
Mature and Disturbing Topics
In order to protect the well-being of everyone on our server, references to and discussions of suicide and self-harm are not permitted anywhere on the survival server or associated platforms, and in certain cases may result in a punishment regardless of the intention behind your message.
In extreme cases, Discord direct messages and similar types of direct messaging may also be included when a decision is made regarding a report of this type of behavior.
Please remember that our staff members may be young or have issues of their own, and are not an appropriate source of support.
If you are struggling with these issues, or just need some extra emotional support, please contact one of the many amazing helplines. There are lots of people who can help you.

International Languages
We have a wonderfully international community on Survival, which means that there are plenty of multi-lingual players! While the server is primarily English-speaking, you are not required to only use English when chatting in main chat.
Please be aware that moderators may ask to you switch to speaking English or change to a private chat if they suspect that you are intentionally being disruptive or are breaking rules, and you are obligated to follow their instructions.
All chat rules must be followed regardless of what language you are speaking, and attempts to break chat rules in languages other than English will be treated as filter bypass and receive a much harsher punishment.
If you see people breaking chat rules in any language, please report it to a staff member with evidence (a full-screen screenshot and information about the date/time it happened).
Purchasing Rules
Real-World Deals and Exchanges
All deals or exchanges involving real-world currency (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, etc) are to be done through the MunchyMC Store for MunchyMC content.
You may NOT make deals or exhanges of MunchyMC content for any out-of-game items or currencies, content/accounts for other servers/games, or any real-word payments such as Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp or similar transactions. One or both parties will be banned if you attempt to do so.
This is for safeguarding reasons, to ensure we are able to resolve any issues that arise and can immediately take action if any scams are attempted.
You may only make immediate deals, meaning deals that involve an immediate transaction with no borrowing, lending or debts, etc. To ensure there is no risk of scams, it is best that you inform a staff member of any deal involving real currency before going through with it so we can be informed of the terms of the agreement in order to best protect both parties.
All network-wide rules not listed in here also apply. See these at MunchyMC - Help Center
Punishments are up to staff discretion, and SMods or Admins may make decisions to mute or ban players for reasons that are unique enough to not be on this list.
