I want to play with all of you on the server, but i see that i am banned, because i cursed everyone in the chat.
I will be honest with you guys because i don't remember at all what I did on the server before I cursed everyone and i doesn't know even why i cursed everyone.

But if I hurt anyone there somehow, I really want to apologize about my actions back then.
And i also really want to know that there is no one that is still hurts from my actions, until this day.

I really want to turn a new page with all of you, and start over.

By the way,

If i had a house on the server with my stuff still inside it, i will pay with my stuff like a fine, which will be divided to those who i hurt back then.
I'm even willing to give up everything I still own for those who got hurt because of me.]]> Hey everyone,

I've been meaning to make a tutorial on how to set up these cages about more than a year ago, but being the champion of sidetracking, I have only got around to doing it now. This has about 5x10x6 footprint, and uses only two important entities: a snow golem and a Wither. It is possible to eliminate the snow golem and have a 20gt clocked dispenser firing at the Wither instead, but this requires a constant supply of snowballs.

Because of Hometown's GriefPrevention plugin, the snow golem can be built in any biome (they will not melt) and protected using the ProtectNamedMobs claimflag.

Pros:

Very small (significantly smaller and cheaper than vanilla Wither cages!).
Easy to set up.
Processes 43.2k blocks per hour.
Modular.

Cons:

Noisy (this can be circumvented by lowering the volume of Hostile entities in the volume mixer).
Extremely rarely, the Wither can escape (toggling /claimexplosions prevents the Wither from escaping its cage entirely, and you can reset the Wither's position without killing it by pushing the walls).

Originally published March 2025

The HomeTown Server (hereafter referred to as "the Server" or "Server") requires completion of its tutorial, acceptance of the HomeTown Forums' Terms of Service Agreement, or agreement to the Discord rules. Completion of any of these actions constitutes a tacit contract stating that you have read, understand, and will abide by the following rules and policies applicable to the specific platform being accessed. Failure to comply may result in appropriate punishment of the offending person(s) at the discretion of the Server, Discord, and/or forums staff team(s).
Preamble
This rulebook has been evaluated and approved by the staff team prior to its ratification. All information and rulings have been determined to be fair and accurate. All rules and punishments listed here are the direct result of either the original rules [Founder] frostVINCENT put forth during the creation of the Server or from precedent-setting incidents requiring staff intervention and formal adjudication. The purpose of this rulebook is to establish a publicly accessible framework that ensures consistent, just, and well-reasoned decision-making by the staff team. All punishments will be grounded in the rules and principles outlined herein. Any amendments, revocations, or modifications to this rulebook will be documented in the Change Log section with the corresponding date of enactment.
Definition of Staff Team
For the purposes of these rules, the "staff team" refers to the designated personnel responsible for enforcing community guidelines and maintaining order.

“Server Staff" (also referred to as “staff” or “the staff team”) includes Guardians, Moderators, and Administrators, who enforce in-game rules, manage player behavior, and oversee Server operations. The list of Server staff can be found in-game at /warp StaffMembers.
“Forum Staff" are comprised of Moderators and Administrators on the Server, who regulate forum discussions, enforce forum-specific rules, and maintain orderly discourse. A full list of forum staff can be found here.
”Discord Staff” includes all Server staff, noted by a green rank in Discord, and Discord staff, noted by a light blue rank in Discord. These staff operate in identical fashions and regulate Discord discussions, enforce Discord-specific rules, and maintain orderly discourse.

Punishments
HomeTown maintains community stability via clearly defined rules that regulate player conduct and enforce consequences for violations. To address rule-breaking, the staff team follows a progressive disciplinary system, applying punishments that escalate based on the severity of the offense and the player's history of prior infractions. The starting point for enforcement is determined by these factors. Any attempt to evade or circumvent a punishment will result in a more severe penalty without exception.
Punishments are categorized into four escalating levels - Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 - each carrying increasing restrictions based on the severity and frequency of offenses. The following section outlines these levels in detail.
Level 0: Written Warnings, Player Kicks, Jail, and Temporary Mutes. Written warnings are issued for low-severity violations and serve as formal notices that a player's behavior is not acceptable on the Server. If a player is not online when the warning is given, the warning will show up in their chat the first time they log in to the Server afterward. Player kicks are brief, forced disconnections from the Server, typically due to chat disruptions or minor misconduct. Kicked players may rejoin the Server immediately after they are kicked. The reason for the kick will be stated in the kick message, and the kick itself is viewed as a warning against further infractions of a similar nature. Jailing is used as a temporary in-game confinement for players whose behavior requires immediate correction such as griefing, refusing to cooperate with staff, or ignoring direct instructions. The duration and conditions of jail time are determined by the responding staff member based on the circumstances of the offense. Temporary mutes are applied to players who repeatedly violate chat rules despite prior warnings. Temporary mutes start at five minutes and increase progressively if the behavior continues after the mute expires. These mutes are meant to curb disruptive communication and encourage compliance with the Server's chat policies.
Level 1: Temporary Bans. For mild rule infractions, a player may be barred from the Server via a temporary ban. These bans are automatically lifted after the designated time has elapsed and do not require a ban appeal. Attempts to appeal a temporary ban may be denied at the staff team's discretion.
Level 1a: Post-Appeal Temporary Bans. In certain cases, particularly for major offenses such as x-ray usage, the staff team may impose a temporary ban even after a ban appeal has been accepted. This additional punishment is enforced when prolonged restrictions are deemed necessary to reinforce Server rules and deter repeat offenders.
Level 2: Standard Bans. Bans are given to players who have engaged in a moderate breach of the Server's rules. A ban will remain in effect indefinitely until the offender submits a correctly formatted appeal through the Server forums. Appeals are reviewed at the discretion of the staff team, and a ban will only be lifted if the appeal is accepted. Failure to submit a properly formatted appeal, demonstrate an understanding of the infraction, or show intent to follow Server rules may result in the appeal being denied. Repeatedly submitting frivolous or insincere appeals may lead to additional penalties.
Level 3: Permanent Bans. This punishment is the most severe disciplinary action and results in a permanent ban from the Server, with no option to appeal. This punishment is reserved for players who engage in exploitation, the use of racial slurs, IP-advertising, or other actions that cause severe harm to the Server or its community. Permanent bans are typically non-appealable, and unbans are granted only in exceptional circumstances at the sole discretion of the staff team. Attempts to appeal a permanent ban will generally be denied unless compelling evidence or justification is provided.
HomeTown Forums Rules
The punishments outlined for the Minecraft Server do not apply to the forums, and forum violations are handled separately. Forum-specific enforcement actions may be issued as deemed necessary by the forum staff team. Failure to comply with these rules may result in warnings, temporary forum bans, permanent forum bans, or full forum purges (a ban accompanied by the permanent removal of all post history). The enforcement of these actions is at the sole discretion of the forum staff team.
HomeTown is a privately owned entity, and the staff team has complete and total authority to censor or moderate the community to maintain order. This includes forcing accounts to use appropriate content for profile pictures, usernames, and signatures.

Be respectful to others at all times, and do not be annoying. Any form of disrespect, including but not limited to hostile trolling, racism, sexism, or discrimination toward any person, group, organization, or creed, will not be tolerated in any capacity.
Do not spam the forums. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and it is ultimately up to the staff team to determine what constitutes spam. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
1. Unsolicited advertisements for real-world services, blogs, or other Minecraft servers will not be tolerated.
Forum account signatures must not exceed a height of 400 pixels and may not contain any rude, offensive, or inappropriate imagery or content.
Ban Appeals must be properly formatted as noted in the Ban Appeal Format Thread.

HomeTown Discord Rules
The Punishments outlined for the Minecraft Server and forums do not apply to the Discord, and Discord violations are handled separately. Discord-specific enforcement actions may be issued as deemed necessary by the Server/Discord staff teams. Failure to comply with these rules may result in warnings and bans. The enforcement of these actions is at the discretion of the Server/Discord staff teams.
HomeTown is a privately owned entity, and the staff team has complete and total authority to censor or moderate the community to maintain order. This includes requiring users to follow appropriate content guidelines for profile pictures, usernames, and statuses.

Be respectful. This is a mature Server, be here at your own risk.
Don’t be annoying. This includes not asking to be unbanned from the Server.
Don’t spam, and don’t advertise other servers.
1. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and final discretion lies with the staff team. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
Keep NSFW topics/posts in the #nsfw channel. Pornography or worse is strictly prohibited.
Should a controversial topic be brought up and the speaker is asked to stop, the speaker is required to stop.
Don’t be a bitch about edgy topics. For example: if players are having a calm and respectable Sunday morning conversation about politics, players are not permitted to engage in the conversation raging about how offended they are.
If you get banned from the Discord, appeal on the forums.
Don’t be stupid enough to be banned in the first place.
No eating muffins on Sundays; cupcakes are allowed, carrots are banned from being eaten in voice chat.
Don’t impersonate other players.
Don’t mute or ignore staff.
The #server-chat channel follows all rules from both the Discord and the Server. Players who violate Server rules in #server-chat may be subject to bans from both the Discord and Server.

HomeTown Server Rules
HomeTown is a privately owned entity, and the staff team has complete and total authority to censor or moderate the community to maintain order. This includes forcing players to use appropriate content for skins, usernames, and nicknames.

Chat Rules - Punishment Levels 0-3
1. Be respectful at all times and do not be annoying. Slurs, sexism, racism, homophobia, or discrimination toward any person, group, organization, or creed is strictly prohibited.
2. Cursing is permitted, provided it is not directed at another player. Any form of harassment, including using profanity to insult or attack others through chat, signs, or any other medium is forbidden.
3. Posting the IP address of another server will result in an instant and permanent ban.
  1. Advertising the HomeTown Server IP on other servers will result in a permanent ban from HomeTown.
  2. Posting realm codes fall under Rule 1c and will be punished correspondingly.
4. All URLs posted in chat must be safe for work and appropriate for the community. Posting pornographic content or adult websites is strictly prohibited.
  1. This includes soliciting the exchange of pornographic material for in-game assets via the Server chat systems.
5. Do not intentionally be disruptive, provoke arguments, or engage in behavior designed to annoy other players.
6. If a staff member instructs a player to drop a topic of conversation, they must comply. Continued refusal may result in disciplinary action. Any issues may be discussed with a staff member via private messages.
  1. If a staff member requests that a player use /ignore on another player, the request must be followed or interaction with that player should cease. Unnecessary drama is disruptive.
7. Do not spam the chat. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and final discretion lies with the staff team. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
  1. Shop advertisements or advertisements of any other kind can only be posted at a minimum of every 5 minutes.
    1. The 5-minute advertisement timer applies per player, not per account. Players may not bypass this limit by posting advertisements on alternate accounts. This rule also applies to Discord, and advertisements made on Discord and in Minecraft are subject to the same 5-minute restriction.
  2. Do not enter into and out of AFK excessively. What constitutes "excessive" is at staff discretion.
  3. Do not abuse the chat color/formatting codes, such as the Rainbow font or italics/bold/underline excessively.
  4. Do not send fake private messages.
  5. Do not die intentionally excessively.
  6. Do not welcome players with rude/gross comments. For example, "Whalecum" instead of "Welcome!”
Personal Conduct - Punishment Levels 0-3
1. Do not dox other players. Offenders will be punished at the staff team's discretion. Information shared with players privately by other players is expected to remain private, but players should also exercise extreme caution before sharing personal information with other players.
  1. Do not ask for personal information like age or specific location.
2. Do not ask staff to unban a player for any reason. Repeated requests of this nature may be punished under Rule 1a of Chat Rules: do not be annoying.
3. Staff members are not permitted or obligated to disclose information regarding the details of a player's ban. Repeated requests for disclosure of details may be punished under Rule 1a of Chat Rules: do not be annoying.
4. Do not request ranks or for items to be spawned in.
5. Do not lie to the staff team.
6. Falsified reports intended to troll, disrupt the staff team, or to frame another player will not be tolerated.
7. Using /ignore on staff members or otherwise ignoring an official instruction from staff is prohibited.
8. PVP is only permitted in designated PVP arenas. Killing players outside of a PVP arena is strictly prohibited.
  1. Players may not use teleport requests (e.g., /tpa, /tpahere) to lure others to PvP arenas or PvP-enabled zones with the intent to kill them without first clearly informing them that they are being teleported into a PvP environment.
9. Do not repeatedly ask a staff member about a request that has already been denied. Once a decision is made, it is considered final unless that staff member explicitly invites further discussion. Continued pestering may result in disciplinary action.
  1. Do not seek a different answer by bringing a denied request to another staff member without full disclosure. While second opinions are permitted, players must clearly state that the request was already presented to another staff member and provide the response they received. Attempting to circumvent a prior decision by omitting this information is not allowed.
    1. Players may not approach a multitude of staff members in succession in an attempt to receive a more favorable response.
10. Players may not vote on behalf of other players without that player’s explicit and verifiable permission. Players found to be engaging in this behavior may be subject to a ban.
11. Account transfers may be granted only under extenuating circumstances, such as when a player has permanently lost access to their original account or is transitioning between Bedrock and Java editions. All transfer requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and approval is at the sole discretion of the staff team.
  1. Staff will not transfer items, builds, claims, currency, or any other player-owned property on behalf of a player who is leaving the Server, whether voluntarily or due to a ban. The responsibility for distributing or transferring personal possessions prior to departure rests solely with the departing player. Staff will not facilitate or complete such transfers on their behalf.
12. Impersonation of other players, including staff members, is prohibited.
13. Players are expected to report any observed rule violations to a staff member in a timely manner. Knowingly withholding information regarding rule infractions, or intentionally failing to report violations, may result in disciplinary action.
Nickname Etiquette - Punishment Levels 0-3
1. Creating a nickname that falsely implies a relationship to another player or references them in an unwanted manner is not permitted, especially if they have explicitly requested not to be associated.
2. Nicknames must remain legible and unobtrusive in chat. Any nickname deemed to obstruct chat or hinder readability will be subject to review by the staff team. If a staff member requests a change, compliance is required.
  1. For example: a nickname such as [Advanced] manireallylovechickenfingersimeanireallylovethemtheyresogoodomg is excessively long and disrupts chat readability.
3. Nicknames intended to advertise a shop warp must comply with Rule 1g1, ensuring that shop advertisements or any other form of advertisement occur no more than once every 5 minutes. This means that if a player has their warp name as their nickname, they may only speak in chat once every 5 minutes. Additionally, using AFK status updates, join/leave messages, or any other automated system to bypass this restriction is also considered advertisement and subject to the same limitations.
Cheating and Hacks - Punishment Levels 2-3
1. The use of x-ray or any method that provides an unfair advantage by revealing hidden ores, caves, or structures is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:
  1. Exploiting block glitches to gain an unintended view through the map.
  2. Utilizing biome-specific terrain patterns, such as the swamp, clay, sand technique, to locate underground resources.
  3. Referencing external websites or third-party tools to determine the location of ores or other in-game structures.
2. Aiding or abetting x-ray usage is strictly prohibited. Players may not knowingly assist, benefit from, or cooperate with another player who is using x-ray or similar unfair advantages, even if they are not personally using such methods. Any player found to be using information, resources, or assistance obtained through x-ray usage will be treated as if they engaged in x-ray use themselves.
3. Fly hacks, speed hacks, jump hacks, etc. are not permitted.
4. Duping or exploiting the Server in any way is not allowed, and players are expected to report any they come across to the staff team.

  2. Property owners may permanently revoke a player's access to their property or shop.
  3. Areas marked with "No Trespassing" signs must be respected.
  4. If a staff member directs a player to leave an area, compliance is mandatory. Failure to comply or repeated incursions may result in disciplinary action.

  2. Players may claim additional instances of a naturally generated structure only after demonstrating clear and legitimate use of the first, such as for a farm, shop, living space, or other functional purpose. Claiming additional structures without established use of the original is not permitted, and claims for the sole purpose of looting remain prohibited as outlined in Rule 7h1.
9. The use of any technique or exploit to break bedrock is strictly prohibited.
10. Due to the complexity and nuance of land and structure claims, the staff team reserves the right to make case-by-case determinations regarding the legitimacy and fairness of any claim. These decisions will take into account the spirit and intent of the claiming rules, and players are expected to comply with staff rulings accordingly.
11. Builds designed to artificially or forcefully load chunks without player presence are strictly prohibited. This includes any mechanism, design, or exploit intended to keep an area loaded without a player physically occupying or naturally loading the chunks.

4. Exploiting typographical errors in shop listings is prohibited. Any such errors should be reported to the shop owner if they are online and not AFK; otherwise, they should be reported to staff.

Town owners may ask a staff member the status of a player's ban to determine if it is permanent.
4. Rules must be posted on signs, not lecterns, to ensure proper tracking of revisions. Lecterns do not leave appropriate CoreProtect logs, making it impossible for staff to verify whether eviction rules were in place before or after a player moved in.

]]> HomeTown Rulebook: 4th Edition
Originally published March 2025

The HomeTown Server (hereafter referred to as "the Server" or "Server") requires completion of its tutorial, acceptance of the HomeTown Forums' Terms of Service Agreement, or agreement to the Discord rules. Completion of any of these actions constitutes a tacit contract stating that you have read, understand, and will abide by the following rules and policies applicable to the specific platform being accessed. Failure to comply may result in appropriate punishment of the offending person(s) at the discretion of the Server, Discord, and/or forums staff team(s).
Preamble
This rulebook has been evaluated and approved by the staff team prior to its ratification. All information and rulings have been determined to be fair and accurate. All rules and punishments listed here are the direct result of either the original rules [Founder] frostVINCENT put forth during the creation of the Server or from precedent-setting incidents requiring staff intervention and formal adjudication. The purpose of this rulebook is to establish a publicly accessible framework that ensures consistent, just, and well-reasoned decision-making by the staff team. All punishments will be grounded in the rules and principles outlined herein. Any amendments, revocations, or modifications to this rulebook will be documented in the Change Log section with the corresponding date of enactment.
Definition of Staff Team
For the purposes of these rules, the "staff team" refers to the designated personnel responsible for enforcing community guidelines and maintaining order.

“Server Staff" (also referred to as “staff” or “the staff team”) includes Guardians, Moderators, and Administrators, who enforce in-game rules, manage player behavior, and oversee Server operations. The list of Server staff can be found in-game at /warp StaffMembers.
“Forum Staff" are comprised of Moderators and Administrators on the Server, who regulate forum discussions, enforce forum-specific rules, and maintain orderly discourse. A full list of forum staff can be found here.
”Discord Staff” includes all Server staff, noted by a green rank in Discord, and Discord staff, noted by a light blue rank in Discord. These staff operate in identical fashions and regulate Discord discussions, enforce Discord-specific rules, and maintain orderly discourse.

Be respectful to others at all times, and do not be annoying. Any form of disrespect, including but not limited to hostile trolling, racism, sexism, or discrimination toward any person, group, organization, or creed, will not be tolerated in any capacity.
Do not spam the forums. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and it is ultimately up to the staff team to determine what constitutes spam. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
1. Unsolicited advertisements for real-world services, blogs, or other Minecraft servers will not be tolerated.
Forum account signatures must not exceed a height of 400 pixels and may not contain any rude, offensive, or inappropriate imagery or content.
Ban Appeals must be properly formatted as noted in the Ban Appeal Format Thread.

Be respectful. This is a mature Server, be here at your own risk.
Don’t be annoying. This includes not asking to be unbanned from the Server.
Don’t spam, and don’t advertise other servers.
1. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and final discretion lies with the staff team. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
Keep NSFW topics/posts in the #nsfw channel. Pornography or worse is strictly prohibited.
Should a controversial topic be brought up and the speaker is asked to stop, the speaker is required to stop.
Don’t be a bitch about edgy topics. For example: if players are having a calm and respectable Sunday morning conversation about politics, players are not permitted to engage in the conversation raging about how offended they are.
If you get banned from the Discord, appeal on the forums.
Don’t be stupid enough to be banned in the first place.
No eating muffins on Sundays; cupcakes are allowed, carrots are banned from being eaten in voice chat.
Don’t impersonate other players.
Don’t mute or ignore staff.
The #server-chat channel follows all rules from both the Discord and the Server. Players who violate Server rules in #server-chat may be subject to bans from both the Discord and Server.

1. Be respectful at all times and do not be annoying. Slurs, sexism, racism, homophobia, or discrimination toward any person, group, organization, or creed is strictly prohibited.

3. Posting the IP address of another server will result in an instant and permanent ban.

  1. This includes soliciting the exchange of pornographic material for in-game assets via the Server chat systems.
5. Do not intentionally be disruptive, provoke arguments, or engage in behavior designed to annoy other players.
6. If a staff member instructs a player to drop a topic of conversation, they must comply. Continued refusal may result in disciplinary action. Any issues may be discussed with a staff member via private messages.
  1. If a staff member requests that a player use /ignore on another player, the request must be followed or interaction with that player should cease. Unnecessary drama is disruptive.
7. Do not spam the chat. Spam refers to any content that disrupts or hinders the community's ability to communicate effectively, causes annoyance, or interferes with forum functionality. HomeTown's definition of spam is broader than standard definitions, and final discretion lies with the staff team. Do not engage in arguments with staff about what qualifies as spam.
  1. Shop advertisements or advertisements of any other kind can only be posted at a minimum of every 5 minutes.
    1. The 5-minute advertisement timer applies per player, not per account. Players may not bypass this limit by posting advertisements on alternate accounts. This rule also applies to Discord, and advertisements made on Discord and in Minecraft are subject to the same 5-minute restriction.
  2. Do not enter into and out of AFK excessively. What constitutes "excessive" is at staff discretion.
  3. Do not abuse the chat color/formatting codes, such as the Rainbow font or italics/bold/underline excessively.
  4. Do not send fake private messages.
  5. Do not die intentionally excessively.
  6. Do not welcome players with rude/gross comments. For example, "Whalecum" instead of "Welcome!”
Personal Conduct - Punishment Levels 0-3

  1. Do not ask for personal information like age or specific location.
2. Do not ask staff to unban a player for any reason. Repeated requests of this nature may be punished under Rule 1a of Chat Rules: do not be annoying.

5. Do not lie to the staff team.
6. Falsified reports intended to troll, disrupt the staff team, or to frame another player will not be tolerated.
7. Using /ignore on staff members or otherwise ignoring an official instruction from staff is prohibited.
8. PVP is only permitted in designated PVP arenas. Killing players outside of a PVP arena is strictly prohibited.
  1. Players may not use teleport requests (e.g., /tpa, /tpahere) to lure others to PvP arenas or PvP-enabled zones with the intent to kill them without first clearly informing them that they are being teleported into a PvP environment.
9. Do not repeatedly ask a staff member about a request that has already been denied. Once a decision is made, it is considered final unless that staff member explicitly invites further discussion. Continued pestering may result in disciplinary action.
  1. Do not seek a different answer by bringing a denied request to another staff member without full disclosure. While second opinions are permitted, players must clearly state that the request was already presented to another staff member and provide the response they received. Attempting to circumvent a prior decision by omitting this information is not allowed.
    1. Players may not approach a multitude of staff members in succession in an attempt to receive a more favorable response.
10. Players may not vote on behalf of other players without that player’s explicit and verifiable permission. Players found to be engaging in this behavior may be subject to a ban.
11. Account transfers may be granted only under extenuating circumstances, such as when a player has permanently lost access to their original account or is transitioning between Bedrock and Java editions. All transfer requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and approval is at the sole discretion of the staff team.
  1. Staff will not transfer items, builds, claims, currency, or any other player-owned property on behalf of a player who is leaving the Server, whether voluntarily or due to a ban. The responsibility for distributing or transferring personal possessions prior to departure rests solely with the departing player. Staff will not facilitate or complete such transfers on their behalf.
12. Impersonation of other players, including staff members, is prohibited.
13. Players are expected to report any observed rule violations to a staff member in a timely manner. Knowingly withholding information regarding rule infractions, or intentionally failing to report violations, may result in disciplinary action.
Nickname Etiquette - Punishment Levels 0-3
1. Creating a nickname that falsely implies a relationship to another player or references them in an unwanted manner is not permitted, especially if they have explicitly requested not to be associated.
2. Nicknames must remain legible and unobtrusive in chat. Any nickname deemed to obstruct chat or hinder readability will be subject to review by the staff team. If a staff member requests a change, compliance is required.
  1. For example: a nickname such as [Advanced] manireallylovechickenfingersimeanireallylovethemtheyresogoodomg is excessively long and disrupts chat readability.
3. Nicknames intended to advertise a shop warp must comply with Rule 1g1, ensuring that shop advertisements or any other form of advertisement occur no more than once every 5 minutes. This means that if a player has their warp name as their nickname, they may only speak in chat once every 5 minutes.

  2. If a player is playing on a cracked account, the staff team has no interest in knowing. The staff team does not inquire into or take action against players using cracked accounts.
3. The exchange of in-game currency for Minecraft accounts is strictly prohibited, as the staff team cannot oversee or regulate any transactions, including those involving potential scams or stolen accounts.
4. Players who become aware of any criminal activity occurring on the Server are strongly encouraged to report their concerns directly to the staff team or through a trusted intermediary.

  2. Property owners may permanently revoke a player's access to their property or shop.
  3. Areas marked with "No Trespassing" signs must be respected.
  4. If a staff member directs a player to leave an area, compliance is mandatory. Failure to comply or repeated incursions may result in disciplinary action.

  2. Players may claim additional instances of a naturally generated structure only after demonstrating clear and legitimate use of the first, such as for a farm, shop, living space, or other functional purpose. Claiming additional structures without established use of the original is not permitted, and claims for the sole purpose of looting remain prohibited as outlined in Rule 7h1.
9. The use of any technique or exploit to break bedrock is strictly prohibited.
10. Due to the complexity and nuance of land and structure claims, the staff team reserves the right to make case-by-case determinations regarding the legitimacy and fairness of any claim. These decisions will take into account the spirit and intent of the claiming rules, and players are expected to comply with staff rulings accordingly.

2. Reselling is permitted by default unless explicitly prohibited within the shop.
  1. The resale of artwork is strictly prohibited without the explicit permission of the original owner.
  2. Shop owners may request that staff reverse transactions, including item returns and refunds, if a player is found to be reselling from their shop which disallows reselling.
3. Intentionally bankrupting or attempting to bankrupt another player is not permitted.
4. Exploiting typographical errors in shop listings is prohibited. Any such errors should be reported to the shop owner if they are online and not AFK; otherwise, they should be reported to staff.

Town owners may ask a staff member the status of a player's ban to determine if it is permanent.

I discuss a few ways to sell shulkerboxes of mapart in the following video (though it is not necessary that these have to be shulkerboxes of maparts, they can be shulkerboxes containing anything you like---just many people sell shulkerboxes in the context of selling art).

Minecraft name: Ragokyo

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): Sedition. Appeal your ban at http://www.hometownmc.com/forums, it better be really good.

Who banned you: The entire staff team

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): If I stay banned, who's going to restock /warp daddies?

Why do you want to come back:

Never have I ever intended to disrupt the harmony of the Minecraft community on Hometown, but if I did, I'm
gonna start by expressing my sincere apologies if my actions were misconstrued. Please
give me a chance to clarify the situation and provide context for my actions:
you, the moderation team, are entrusted with maintaining peace on Hometown. I do not doubt that. But
up until today, I was under the impression that I have been a passive player, and never had to write an appeal for organized rebellion.
Never would I knowingly engage in activities promoting sedition within Minecraft. I must have been mistaken for someone else. Despite this, I'm
gonna assure you of my commitment to abiding by the rules and regulations.
Let me assure you that my intentions were never malicious.
You, the moderators, play a vital role in maintaining a positive gaming environment.
Down the line, I hope you will accept my appeal, and have my unbanning be swift.

Thank you for your consideration.]]>
