Rules
18+ open-survival server. Light rules, hard enforcement on jerks. Don't grief, don't slur, don't cheat.
Sunday Market is 18+ open survival. The rules are short because we trust adults to behave like adults — but the few we have, we mean. Repeat offenders get banned. We'd rather have a smaller, friendlier community than a bigger, tolerant-of-toxicity one.
The five-second rule version
- Don't grief or steal.
- Don't impersonate staff.
- PvP only with consent or in opt-in zones.
- No cheats, no exploits.
- 18+ chat is fine — slurs and doxxing aren't.
That's it. Read it, internalize it, play.
What 18+ actually means
We don't pre-filter language or topics. Adults can talk like adults. The community has a generally relaxed tone — swearing happens, blue humor happens, real-world topics come up. None of that is against the rules.
What IS against the rules:
- Slurs — racial, homophobic, transphobic, etc. Hard line.
- Sexual content involving minors — instant permanent ban
- Doxxing or harassment — sharing real-world info about someone, repeated targeted aggression
- Impersonation — pretending to be staff or another specific player
The line: rough adult conversation is welcome. Targeted harm is not.
What the longer rule pages cover
- Conduct — chat behavior, what's fine, what's not
- Building & griefing — what counts as someone's stuff
- PvP & fairness — consent, spawn-killing, low-rank protection
- Exploits & cheats — fine / don't / instant-ban tiers
- Staff & reports — staff hierarchy,
/helpop, appeals
Punishments table
| Offense | First time | Repeated |
|---|---|---|
| Minor griefing (a few blocks) | Verbal + rollback | Tempban, rollback |
| Major griefing (whole base) | 7-day ban + rollback | Permaban + rollback |
| Theft (chest, item) | Item return + warning | Tempban |
| Impersonating staff | Tempban | Permaban |
| Slurs | 24hr mute, then warn | Tempban, then permaban |
| Doxxing/harassment | Tempban | Permaban |
| Cheats (X-ray, kill-aura) | Permaban (immediate) | n/a |
| Exploits (dupe glitch, etc.) | Tempban + restoration | Permaban |
| Combat-logging during PvP | Verbal warning | Tempban |
| Spawn-camping low-rank players | Verbal warning | Tempban |
This is a rough guide, not a strict ladder. Staff has discretion based on context and intent.
Appeals
If you think a punishment was wrong, file an appeal in the format described on Staff & reports. Staff reviews appeals; sometimes punishments are reversed, sometimes not. Either way, you'll get a clear answer.
Why we keep rules short
Long rule lists encourage rules-lawyering and create gray areas. Short rules encourage common sense. "Don't be a jerk" covers more than a 50-page legal document, and adults can interpret it.
The longer rule pages exist for clarification when "common sense" isn't enough — what counts as griefing, where PvP is allowed, etc. They're explanations, not loopholes.
