Server Rules

1. Use English only in the public chat, alternative languages through direct messages are fine.
2. Do not discuss or advertise Minecraft servers or networks that are not provided by HaxysHideout.
3. Hacking, duping, the use of installed cheats, abusing glitches or exploits and bypassing AFK checks is prohibited.
   Breaking this rule may result in an immediate ban with no expiration date.
4. Permanent chunk loaders and blocks with this feature are not allowed. Only BetterChunkLoaders (Iron Block + Blaze Rod) can be used.
5. Do not grief Admin Claims (Spawn and Shop) or Player Claims you're not entrusted to. If you find a way, report it.
   Breaking this rule or withholding this info will result in an immediate ban with no expiration date.
6. Any form of discrimination, racism, sexism or bigotry is prohibited.
7. Politics, religion and other sensitive topics can be divisive, discuss them in a sensible manner.
8. Complaints raised against a staff member can only be submitted via ticket.
   A higher ranking staff member will process your complaint. A complainee will never investigate themselves.
9. What isn't claimed, isn't yours and can be taken/broken by anyone! At the same time you're responsible for managing access to your claim. HaxysHideout does not interfere in disputes between friends or teammates.

Shop Rules

1. Shop chests may only be created inside rented shop plots at
   /warp shops
2. Each player may only rent up to 2 shop plots.
3. You're only allowed to place down regular chests, building blocks and decoration, signs or screens and grid power mills in your shop plot. Nothing else, no machines, and no form of auto-feeding or auto-filling for shop chests. We wish to keep lag and framedrops at shops to a minimum and you will be asked to remove blocks that do not follow these rules.
4. Items whose price is set too cheap compared to what they're worth and attempts to deflate the economy are heavily frowned upon and such shops may be removed by our staff team periodically.
5. Limit the amount of Tile Entities such as Chisel & Bits, Forge Microblocks and Framed blocks. These negatively affect one's FPS and make the shop dimension more difficult to load for some players.

Restrictions

• General Notes
• Chunk Loading
• Water Production
• Nesting Containers
• Cable Management

General Notes

• Chop down redwood trees or giant oak trees using treecapitator.
• Break large chests filled with items, thus dropping them all at the exact same time.
• Spam-mining using mining tools (eg. Infinity Drill, Terra Shatterer, Bound Pickaxe, Mining laser).
• Using Hoppers or stacking Hoppers on top of each other.
• Vertically stacking your base. Instead spread your base out horizontally over multiple chunks.
• Leaving behind dropped items and XP orbs when mining - Instead use a magnet (eg. Coin of Fortune, Void Satchel).
• Leaving behind dropped items and XP orbs in mob grinders. Instead use a Vacuum Chest or Vacuum Hopper.
• Using excessive amounts of Thermal Expansion Cyclic Assemblers, Ender IO Crafters, Auto Workbenches or Auto Crafting Benches or Mechanical Crafters. If you really must use them, do not run them 24/7, this may have severe adverse effects on server performance. Use Molecular Assemblers in conjunction with Applied Energistics Crafting processors for batch/bulk autocrafting;
• Using many transfer nodes with stacks of stack/speed upgrades.
• Using more than a single Tank from OpenBlocks - Instead use Drums or Black Hole Tanks.

Chunk Loading

Permanent chunk loading is not allowed. In rare occasions, unintended interactions between multiple blocks from different mods may cause this. Report any incident where you believe permanent chunk loading is present by submitting a ticket.

Intentional uses of this permanent chunk loading mechanic at farms or grinders will be punished.
The only allowed chunk loaders are BetterChunkLoader chunkloaders which are made by right-clicking a Blaze Rod on an Iron Block, and then selecting the size of the area you want to load.

Learn more about BetterChunkLoader chunk loaders by reading the Chunkloading section on our FAQ page.

Water Production

Only use a Sink Cooking for Blockheads to produce water. This is a fast and infinite source of water. Do not use Aquous Accumulators, Pumps BuildCraft or Electric Pumps (Mekanism) for this purpose!

Nesting Containers

What are containers?

Any Bags, Backpacks, Pouches, Satchels, Strongboxes, Shulkerboxes, ME Storage Cells or similar items capable of storing items, are considered containers.

What happens if you do?

When too many items with all of their metadata are nested in containers, that single container exceeds the NBT stringsize limit of data one player inventory slot can hold, and it will corrupt your player data. It can also have very adverse effects on server performance when trying to open or load said container.

Cable Management

Keep runs short, and avoid using hundreds or thousands of pipes, tubes, cables, ducts or wires (anything transferring anything) when wireless alternatives exist. Make proper use of Ender Chests EnderStorage, Ender Tanks EnderStorage, Quantum Entangloporters Mekanism, Quantum Bridges Applied Energistics 2 and Dimensional Transceivers Ender IO.

• Mekanism Machines can push items, liquids and gases to an adjacent machine or container without needing pipes or tubes in most cases.
• Thermal Expansion Machines can pull and push items from and to adjacent inventories without needing ducts.
• Ender IO Machines can push and pull items and liquids to and from adjacent inventories without needing conduits.

Bad

Good

Don't form 2D or 3D grids where cables, pipes or tubes of any kind are all interconnected. Use a Configurator Mekanism or Cresent Hammer Thermal Foundation to separate connecting cables, pipes or tubes and form strips instead of grids.

Power Generation

Rules

• Adjust your power production to match your actual needs. Avoid (over)producing that which you don't need.
• Prioritise power storage over power production by investing in an Mekanism Induction Matrix.
• Share power with teammates, friends, and strangers if it means fewer players will persue the construction of power generation which increases lag.
• Dismantle/remove old ways of generating power in favour of your best method.
• Avoid the use of Mekanism Wind Generators or IndustrialCraft 2 Windmills.
• There are no restrictions on solar power, this can always be used alongside any other power production method.
• You can use Thermal Expansion Dynamos, Generators, Mills, and IndustrialCraft 2 Nuclear Reactors, but you must dismantle them when you upgrade to Extreme Reactors Extreme Reactors, a Mekanism Fusion Reactor or Extra Utilities 2 Rainbow Generators.

Mob Grinders

This is a setup that spawns and kills animals and/or hostile monsters and uses methods such as but not limited to Minecraft Monster Spawners, Ender IO Powered Spawners, Industrial Foregoing Mob Duplicators or magical ways of spawning monsters, and uses any source or form of damage to kill the mobs.

Rules

• Per team (even if you play alone) you may own no more than 24 mob spawners of any kind.
• Mob Spawners must be placed down in no more than 2 separate chunks, the sole exception is the use of spawners for Blood Magic rituals. The total limit of 24 spawners still applies
• Mob grinders must be built within the borders of a chunk, use F9 to enable chunk borders.
• Mob Spawners in a mob grinder setup must an XP vacuum and Vacuum chest (or alternative) to pick up XP orb and item overflow.
• Mob Spawners must have an on/off switch with redstone using an easily-accessible lever.

This pertains to all kinds of vegetables, fruits, berries, seeds, fibers, trees, bushes or any other crop from, but not limited to Minecraft crops, Pam's Harvestcraft, GrowthCraft, Forestry and Mystical Agriculture

Rules

• You're limited to 24 plots of farmland.
• One plot is a 16x16 layer of soil (dirt, sand, mycelium, ..) on which crops or saplings grow.
• Plots can be stacked vertically or placed side by side horizontally.

This is an example of 4 chunks with 6 plots of farmland per chunk. You may choose to build 4 layers in 6 chunks, or 2 layers in 12 chunks, or 12 layers in 2 chunks, or form any other combination, as long as the total number of plots is no greater than 24.

Animal Farms

This applies to land plots with passive and active animal breeding and/or stocking where animals are kept alive.

Rules

• Per 1 chunk you may hold a maximum of 20 animals;
• In total you may own up to a maximum of 100 animals (5 chunks with 20 animals per chunk).
• A chunk containing an animal farm or a large collection of animals may not also contain a mob grinder.
• Animals must be given enough room to move freely, stacked entities that push each other constantly can cause lag.
