Build Removal Request Thread
Have you ever found the perfect piece of land to build on, and perhaps even begun to build, and then discovered a tiny shack, a noob hut, a minimal effort little wood plank box, or part of the foundation of a house that was begun by a player who seemingly never returned to the server, and your plans for a grand base are now hopelessly foiled due to the 100-block rule?
Have you ever allowed someone to build near you, only for them to never return to the server for months and now their build is taking up space in your area and you'd rather use that space for something else now?
Fear not, for we the staff team have finally decided to implement a protocol for removal of these builds that are cluttering up prime real estate for no reason!
If there is one such build near your base and you would like it to be considered for removal by staff then you may post a New Reply on this thread and make your request.
The build in question would be considered a "noob hut" if it meets one or more of the following guidelines:
1. 10x10 or smaller
2. Minimal effort invested, primitive materials used e.g. dirt, wood planks, cobblestone
3. Unfinished foundations e.g. floor/no floor, walls/partial walls, no roof/partial roof
4. If the player is banned, they must have been offline for minimum 3 months
5. If the player is not banned, they must have been offline for minimum 6 months
***New Guidelines for Larger Builds***:
6. If the player has been banned for minimum of 1 year, the size limit is not a factor
7. If the player is not banned and has been offline for minimum of 2 years, the size limit is not a factor.
(All eligibility decisions are still at staff discretion and will be decided on a case-by-case basis.)
To determine who the build belongs to, you could ask an Expert+ to use /co i and see if there are any block logs, or, if there is anything locked with a magical spell, e.g. chest, furnace, door, use /bolt info to find out who it belongs to. Then you can /seen the player and see how long they have been offline.
Here is an example of a noob hut:
10x10, primitive materials, unfinished foundation inside (no floor), not banned, offline >1 year

Here is another example of noob huts:
smaller than 10x10, primitive materials, unfinished foundation, not banned, offline 8+ months

Builds that are not considered noob huts:
1. Completed builds larger than 10x10
2. Full bases of players that have been offline several months
3. Some noob huts are markers for underground bases
Here is an example of a build that is not considered a noob hut, and would instead fall under the New Guidelines for Larger Builds section:
build(s) are complete and larger than 10x10, considered an established base regardless of primitive materials used

To put in a request to have a build considered for staff removal, please post a New Reply or use the Quick Reply box at the bottom of the page, (do not try to use the "reply" button on this post, it will give you an error).
Please include the following information in your request:
1. your in game name
2. the coordinates of the build in question: x y z worldname
3. the coordinates of the part of your base that is closest to the build in question: x y z
4. the name of the player who owns the build in question (if known)
**Disclaimer: Staff have the final say as to whether or not a build is eligible, regardless of the above guidelines.
**Disclaimer: Staff reserve the right to add to or clarify these guidelines as needed for precision and understanding.
