Below is a list of our rules. Note that admins do not necessarily judge these rules to the letter, and that attempting to skirt the rules may still end up with a punishment. Some of these rules are left intentionally vague, others can be clearly defined. In any case, consider these a set of guidelines rather than a set-in-stone list of precise rulings.

1. No Griefing
1.1. Don't destroy anything a player has built unless a rule states otherwise.
  • You may break a player's building to gain entry, providing minimum damage is caused.
  • Don't place inordinate amounts of blocks all over a build.
  • Don’t destroy another player's redstone.
  • Don't destroy another player’s crops or farmland, except for wheat, which may be trampled to gather wheat.
  • Don't change or remove another player’s writings on signs.
1.2. Do not kill or release other players’ animals or mobs.
  • You may steal mounts being ridden or used in PvP.
  • Unnamed mounts may be stolen at any time.
1.3. Don't cause unnecessary damage to the landscape.
1.4. Settling a town over ruins or other structures, only to destroy them, is considered griefing.
1.5. No one-by-one block towers unless you remove them immediately after use.
1.6. Don't unnecessarily destroy, craft, or consume other players’ items.
  • You may steal, but don't destroy chests and leave items to disappear or burn the items.
  • Once the items are back at your home or town, you may do as you wish with them.
1.7. You may not steal in sanctuaries.
  • This includes spawn, docks, festivals, etc.
  • This does not include combat.
1.8. The following placed blocks may be stolen regardless of whether they make up part of another player’s structure: Ore blocks (except Coal Blocks), enchanting tables, anvils, brewing stands, juke box, rails, heads, banners, shulker boxes, beacons, hoppers, ender chests, item frames, and the items inside them.
1.9. No TNT, piston, or redstone-based entry.
  • This includes poking holes in walls, using flying machines, etc.

2. No Client Side Mods or Xray Resource Packs
2.1. Only mods with approved features or that have been directly approved on our Approved Client Side Mod List may be used on Loka, regardless of whether or not they give the player an in-game advantage.
2.2. No resource packs that make any blocks transparent that are not transparent in the default pack.
2.3. No macros or autoclickers
  • This includes lowering mouse debounce time.
2.4. If you are suspected of using illegal mods, clients, cheats, or macros, you will be frozen and screenshared.
  • If you log out during a screenshare, it will result in a permanent ban.

3. Don't Abuse Bugs
3.1. Don't abuse any bug, whether it be a bug with Minecraft or a feature of the server.
  • No block jumping in protected areas.
  • Don't attempt to glitch break blocks or open locked doors/gates in protected areas to access chests, etc.
  • Don't use vehicles to pass through walls.
  • Don't abuse transparent blocks/TNT to x-ray.
3.2. Please report any bugs found immediately using /report. Do not inform others about the bug or use it yourself.
  • Failure to report players who are abusing bugs/breaking rules will result in a ban.

4. No Spamming Chat
All chat rules apply equally to our Discord Server.
4.1. Do not spam chat
  • This includes capitals, arguments, death messages, private messages, and repeating the same thing multiple times.
4.2. Please use English when talking in public chat. We have a very diverse population, but we ask that you speak English in Public Chats. We have designated public chats for different languages, which can be found in /ch.
4.3. Don't claim to be from Planet Minecraft.

5. No Swearing or Offensive Behaviour
All chat rules apply equally to our Discord Server.
5.1. Don't use any words in public or local chat that could be seen as offensive, as all ages play on the server.
5.2. No harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or trolling.
  • Do not purposefully agitate or disrupt the community by means of harassment or trolling.
5.3 No offensive speech or visual expressions in-game.
  • This includes usernames, items, skins, capes, builds, etc.
  • Doing this with any item (including Lore Scrolled items) will result in the item being deleted.
5.4. Do not discuss or mention real-life religious or political subjects.
5.5. We do not moderate town or alliance chat channels unless we are required to in cases of hate speech or harassment.

6. Don't Bully Other Players
This rule applies anywhere (any platform), not just on the server. Loka brings players together, so we feel we have a responsibility to protect them outside of the server, too. Click here if you want more info on the types of bullying. If you feel you are being bullied, please contact Raddus_ or Magpieman.
6.1. Don't dox another player (this includes posting their name, image, etc.), even if they have shared this themselves.
  • We take this very seriously, and it will result in a permanent ban.
6.2. Don't blackmail another player.

  • This includes vouching for players who are alting.
