Line 6:
=== 1. No use of third-party programs that provide an unfair advantage over other players. ===
 
* In addition to explicit cheats like combatx-ray, hackingschematics mods, and x-raycombat hacks, this includes things like keyboard/mouse macros or automatic reloggers.
* If you wish to use a third-party program, check the list of explicitly allowed/forbidden programs [[Third-party programs|here]]. If you don't find your program on the list, you '''must''' ask staff whether it is allowed, and otherwise assume it is not.
 
=== 2. No indiscriminate griefing. ===
 
* This involves going around destroying stuff regardlessfor no logical reason from the point of whoview ownsof what,your asingame wellcharacter. This rule is specifically intended to guard against uninvested and uninterested players using Elgeis as a quick destructive thrill, rather than engaging with noit politicalas reasonan RPing character.
* YouGriefing/raiding canis ofallowed courseas grief/raidlong ifas you have ana reasonable in-gamecharacter RP motivation (and a designated target), but likewise expect retaliation by the target(s) of your actions. Griefing to steal from storages is considered an RP reason.
* However, when griefing, stealing, starting wars, or taking any other "controversial" in-character action, we expect you to stick around and follow up for any reactions that those affected may make. Avoiding the in-character consequences for such gameplay, by going inactive or otherwise with out-of-character actions may result in staff intervention to ensure that a natural in-character course of events, or its functional equivalent, plays out.
* Spawn and the End entrance are plugin-protected, but nonetheless, griefing them is against the rules. It is also against the rules to block off the End exit portal, which is left unprotected to allow for transportation of entities between dimensions.
 
=== 3. Invite judiciously, and use the forms. ===
 
* If you want to invite people to the server (and please do!) there are two Google forms pinned in '''#important-links-and-info'''. If we think your invite is a good fit for Elgeis (it's hard not to be), we'll approve them quickly.
*# Send the form titled "Form for inviting new people" to the person who you want to invite.
*# SubmitFill out and submit the form titled "Form for giving character references for your invites" yourself
* That being said, '''please make sure that you only invite people who you believe will be non-toxic and follow the rules of the server'''—we all have friends that, great as they are, would not make good Elgeis-ers. It's best for the staff, for the community, and for your friendship that you think carefully about who you invite so we don't have to go through the nasty business of banning buddies. Additional notes:
*#'''Players must be, at the very least, 13 years of age'''.
Line 26:
*#'''You may under no circumstances provide the person who you sent the form to with answers for questions asked in the form or by the admins once they've joined the discord.''' The process that we have for allowing people onto the server is in place to make sure that only those who will be a good addition actually get on. The server environment only exists because everyone understands and respects how the server works.
*#'''Vettees must read this rules page themselves''' - you can't summarize it for them or read it to them.
*# '''If you want to post the invite form in a public place''' (such as reddit, other discord servers, etc.) '''ask staff first.'''
*#'''Wait until after a player is vetted to recruit them to your in-character country, ideology, etc.'''
*#*Before a player is vetted, '''they don't exist IC''' - you may not try to sway them to any ingame viewpoint, including tellingin themjoining toor join/not joinjoining countriesa andparticular country, forming opinions about individuals/ or countries., etc.
*#*While we understand that some discussion between very close friends or family members about IC matters is unavoidable prior to vetting, we ask that this be kept at a minimum. Deliberate cases of pre-vetting influence will be punished accordingly.
*#*The only exception to this is in the case of a preexisting close friend or family member, where discussion of your participation would be unavoidable.
*# '''The ability to speak English is required to be on the server''', as virtually all discussion is conducted in English, and being unable to speak it would make participation in the community nearly impossible.
 
=== 4. No usage of alt accounts. ===
 
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
=== 8. Don't abuse glitches. ===
 
*This includes TNT duping, lag machines, 0-tick farms, AFK fishing, breaking or travelling beyond bedrock (including accessing the nether roof), or other abuses of in-game features. That being said, this is a very gray area, and if you're not sure, just ask.
 
=== 9. Don't make skybases without entrances. ===
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
*'''Undermining admin ability to enforce rules will also be punished harshly.''' If you're going through all this to get into this private community, it's assumed that you ''want'' the rules to be followed so you can have the gameplay experience they're set up to create. It's therefore expected that you will help enforce the rules as a community member by letting staff know about rule-breaking or vulnerabilities for exploits.
 
 
==Plugins==
==Differences from Vanilla MC==
'''Factions: '''The factions plugin allows for protection of builds, chests, doors, etc. within "claimed" territory. Each person in a faction provides that faction with 20 "faction power". Each unit of faction power can be used to make one "faction claim", each 16x16 blocks (1 chunk). But be careful! Each time you die, you lose 4 faction power (it recovers over time), and if your faction power is beneath your faction claims, people can faction claim your claims! To see a full list of faction commands, type [/f help] on the server. '''Note: Lecterns and trapped chests will be accessible to all, regardless of the chunk's status.'''
'''Extradimensional restrictions:''' Past 3000 in the Nether and 5000 in the End, the following restrictions are applied, to prevent abusing the infiniteness of these dimensions to escape from the consequences of RP:
 
* Shulkers and furnaces break after 5 minutes.
* All other storage blocks cannot be placed, and existing ones break 10 seconds after opening.

'''MCMMO:''' An RPG-themed plugin where players can "level up" by practicing certain skills, from woodcutting to archery to fishing. As you level up skills, you unlock special abilities that let you become powerful within a certain skillset. Here's the MCMMO wiki for more: https://mcmmo.fandom.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki
Line 116 ⟶ 121:
*Ender chests are disabled.
* Cobblestone can be smelted into gravel, and gravel into sand, all in a blast furnace with a 20-second process each smelt.
* Lily Pads, Small Dripleaf, and Spore Blossoms can be obtained by using bonemeal on the proper blocks within their natural biome.
