• Any form of exploiting, glitches and/or duplication will result in a permanent ban.

• Any form of stealing, looting and/or griefing any player-made structures is not allowed. This includes claimed or unclaimed land.
• Do not claim land near other players bases, farms and/or structures. Claims must be within 100 blocks from another player claim.
• Any form of tp-killing and trapping is not allowed.

Chat rules typically have a 3-warning system (Warning -> Mute -> Temp-ban). However, each scenario may differ depending on the circumstances of what the player said.

• Swearing/Profanity is not allowed in global chat.
• To bypass the chat filter when speaking in clan chat, use the command /c <message>
• Attempting to bypass the chat filter in global chat intentionally is punishable.
• Any form of spamming, character spam and overuse of caps on purpose will result in a warning, mute, then temporarily ban.
• All names (including nicknames, clan names and item names) must be appropriate. Any nicknames that include discriminatory words, phrases, sexual innuendos, racism, and hatred towards other players are not allowed.
• Nicknames must also not impersonate any staff member.
• Being homophobic or disrespectful is not allowed.
• Spamming items (with [item] in chat) to annoy others is not allowed.
• Please only use English in chat. You are welcome to speak other languages in clan chat or private messages
• Joking about or encouraging players to break the server rules is not allowed.

Click to direct for the Market Rules

• Previously we had a rule against players using alt accounts; however, we have decided to remove this rule and allow players to use alts on CatCraft. There are no restrictions on the number of alt accounts you choose to use; however, if you are banned and attempt to evade the ban by using an alt account, this would result in an IP ban.

• Ban evading is strictly not allowed. Attempting to ban evade would result in significantly more severe punishment. It is more beneficial to appeal your ban.
• Do not message staff through discord on anything related to do with your ban appeal. Ban appeals will be looked into applications submitted through https://catcraft.net/banappeal.

• You are more than welcome to advertise streams/recordings about catcraft. Any other form of advertising other servers, websites are not allowed.

• Banks and other systems involving storing anything for other players is not allowed.
• Diamonds are the only accepted currency for market chest-shops.
• Lowballing a player is not allowed.
• Scamming is not allowed.
• Gambling machines are not allowed. Gambling is defined as any game or activity where players stake items on the outcome of a random event. This does not include mini-games, which are skill-based activities that may offer rewards. Mini-games may involve an element of chance, but they primarily rely on player skill and participation, and do not require players to stake or risk their items to participate. For further clarification: If you're participating in a activity that requires you to wager your own items with a potential to lose them based on a random outcome, that's gambling. If you're participating in a activity that tests your skills, such as PvP combat, parkour, or building competitions, where you can win rewards but don't have to stake your own assets, that's a mini-game.

• Do not build inappropriate builds that evoke racism, discrimination, pornography, gore etc.
• Do not build within 100 blocks from other players claimed land.
• Do not claim builds that you did not build unless a staff member has explicitly permitted you.
• Do not sell copied map art that does not belong to you.
