directly into projects that work to improve Mystic Network, we are unable to provide refunds to those who request them.
As per these terms of service, attempting to go around this policy by reversing the payment with your bank or
opening a dispute with PayPal will result in termination of your services and a ban on Tebex
which will prevent you from ever purchasing anything again on any Minecraft server.

We will verify your proof with our own information. If asked for, the proof will be provided to the offending player so ensure that you mask any sensitive/identifying information in your report (such as base coords, your In Game Name (IGN) if you want to remain anonymous, etc).

4. 0 tick farms are included in this rule, even though they aren’t designed to slow/crash the system. The server will automatically break such devices.

Glitches / Exploits / Illegal Activity Rules

Note: Breaking of hack rules is considered a significant infraction.

1. Possession of hacked clients, texture/resource packs offering unfair gameplay advantages, auto clickers, or any cheat active on your account while online in Mystic Network is not allowed, regardless if they are actively in use. Unfair advantage is, for the most part, something that allows you to behave in a way that is not available in vanilla Minecraft (without the use of game glitches) and is at staff discretion and may change based on provision of new information.
2. Use of any means or mechanism of allowing a mouse or keyboard button to be continually triggered without the presence of a player is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to weights/objects holding the key down, keystroke commands to act as if a key is being pressed, or any software that sends multiple instances of a keystroke for one press of a button. Staff will use several methods to determine if you’re AFK clicking. If you’re unable to respond or fail to respond to these methods, it will be treated as if you are AFK clicking, so actively paying attention to what you’re doing is important.
3. Macros or scripts are allowed except for the following scenarios
   1. Auto-joining
   2. Any macro that sends more than one command per run
   3. Any macro that can be toggled to repeatedly send a command
4. Use, abuse, or unreported knowledge of another player using/abusing any exploit is not allowed. Any exploit must be reported to staff via a Discord ticket immediately upon discovery. This includes and covers any action that results in an unexpected or unintended result.
   1. Staff may deem an exploit minor and not subject to the normal hack punishment minimums. This is solely on staff discretion and subject to senior staff review.
   2. Reports of a glitch must satisfy all of the following:
      1. Provide a method to observe the glitch. Can be a video or clear instructions to allow staff to replicate the glitch. You must provide one or the other. You may provide both.
      2. Failure to provide a replication method/proof of existence will result in no action being taken.
      3. If it is deemed closed without replacement/compensation possible due to not being replicable, and replication is discovered later, we may be able to replace/compensate the loss via a new ticket. It isn’t guaranteed, but may be possible.

Account / Alt Account Rules

1. Non-premium accounts are not supported by the server. While not against the rules, we will not provide any assistance in transferring anything to/from these accounts in the event you lose access.
2. Use of non-premium accounts or websites that offer free/low cost mass alts to give your main account benefits (such as quest completion, vouchers, etc) are not allowed and will result in punishment to your main account as well as any involved alt account(s).
3. As Microsoft/Mojang do not support account sales, we do not allow the advertisement of these offers nor will we do anything to support them (no transfers of anything, no adjustment of punishment history, etc). 
4. While not against the rules, we strongly advise against sharing your username/password with anyone else. Anything done by your account is non-reversible, regardless of who was actually signed in. This includes loss of items, use of vouchers/keys/etc, or deletion of claims/islands/factions.

Punished Account Rules

1. Use of alt accounts during a ban is not allowed.
   1. Violation of this rule will result in a minimum of a matching punishment to the alt account, but may result in extended punishment on all accounts.
   2. This rule does NOT apply to situations where you are banned for an inappropriate In Game Name.
2. Any method of sending messages visible to players in chat or a specific player to bypass a mute is not allowed.
   1. Includes: having other accounts speak for you, using item names, warp names/descriptions, nicknames, death messages, mob names, etc.
   2. Use of signs or books during a mute IS allowed for general communication, provided they are not used to continue breaking rules; complaining about the punishment, staff, server, players, or rules; discussion of the punishment aside from informing someone of your mute status.
3. Unreported knowledge or aiding in punishment evasion is not allowed. If the lack of report or aid in evasion results in advantage to yourself, it will be treated as a significant infraction.
4. Bypassing in-game mutes using the Discord <-> Server chat channels (if you have access to them) is not allowed.

Scamming / Deals / Deception Rules

1. You can accept/offer real money for in-game trades, however you own 100% of the risk and Mystic Network will not be involved in settling any legal disputes for either party.
   1. We do not support or recommend such trades
   2. Money spent/given to other players will not be considered when making any decision for the benefit or future of the server.
   3. If you do choose to pay real money for an item from someone, we advise getting confirmation and proof of their possession of the item(s) in question prior to the trade. If you accept the terms of a deal and the player doesn’t have the in-game resources to satisfy the trade, we will not spawn them in for you. If they are proven to have the item, staff may be able to get it from them regardless of their online status.
2. Any deal made for in-game things on the server must have clear screenshots of the agreed deal prior to its occurrence for it to be enforceable by staff.
   1. This must include: specific item names, specific dates when items will be provided or returned, specific and clearly stated cost, clear identification of the player on our server (including their full discord tag which must belong to a player in our discord if the deal is made in discord).
   2. Deals that do not involve "borrowing" and "future return dates" that do NOT specify a time when that deal will be fulfilled will be assumed to require fulfillment in under 15 minutes. For example, if you make a deal to purchase someone a rank for in game cash and do NOT specify when you will be purchasing the rank or sending the money, it is assumed you will do it within 15 minutes and will be considered scamming if there are delays or lack of further communication.
   3. Staff will not search through logs for the required proof, only to verify what you have provided.
   4. We will not uphold deals involving intangible assets. For example, if you are trading money for a rank, or items for another item etc, these are all tangible assets and have the potential to be enforced. But if you are doing something like trading money / in-game items for a promise to not do something, we will not enforce this.
   5. Staff will only enforce the base deal. We do not enforce any interest agreements.
   6. If the deal involves the future repayment of money/items and the user does not have the required resource to repay it, we will not create the asset for you.

Disclaimers

Account Sharing
We strongly discourage players from sharing their accounts. Several of our punishments include IP-bans and IP-mutes. Sharing your account could land you in trouble since your IP address will be linked to other accounts and vice versa. It also poses risks to your account's security. Your account is your responsibility.

High CPS Clicking Methods
Any form of auto-clicking is strictly forbidden (including the Minecraft version 1.15+ option). We also strongly discourage manual clicking methods that cause high CPS. Although there is no official CPS cap, you might get banned for clicking too quickly even if you are not cheating.

VPN Usage
VPN usage is not disallowed. However, we strongly discourage players from using a VPN on our server. There is a chance you will join the server on a banned or muted IP address which could land you in trouble since your IP address will be linked to other accounts and vice versa.

Your presence in this server implies accepting these rules, including all further changes. These changes might be done at any time without notice, it is your responsibility to check for them.

Skyblock Rules

Build Rules

1. Death traps for players are not allowed. This includes any mechanic that causes a player to die that they have not previously agreed to (for example, being in /warp is an agreement to the chance of dying).
2. Griefing any build that you did not make is not allowed, this includes but is not limited to the following situations:
   Note: Do not repair any grief yourself. Report the issue and location and allow staff to reverse the damage or nothing can be done.
   1. Breaking builds on an island without the owner’s express permission.
   2. Adding to builds on an island when the owner has asked you explicitly not to.
   3. Bypassing private container protections by any means.
   4. Privating another player’s chest without their permission.
   5. Lavacasting with the intent to disrupt an island’s build (subject to staff discretion)

PvP Rules

1. Bypassing restricted commands or behaviors in PVP is not allowed. 
   1. If you feel a command should be restricted, open a Suggestion ticket on Discord.
2. Any glitch or exploit to get an unfair advantage in combat is not allowed.
3. Teleporting players without their knowledge of where the teleport leads to them potentially being killed is not allowed.
4. Any PVP activities outside of designated PVP areas are not allowed (such as crystal or anchor explosions in the overworld) based on staff discretion.

General Skyblock / Island Rules

1. Inviting someone to your island with the purpose of stealing their value and kicking them is not allowed. This determination is based on staff discretion.
2. Items and blocks (including spawners) placed on an island become the property of the island and are not eligible for return unless the island owner is in active agreement. Owner absence is NOT an exception to this.
3. For an island to be eligible to win an ISTop reward, it must have shown continuous and adequate growth and mission completion that equates to the island’s value since the creation of the island. Note: whether an island satisfies this rule is entirely at Senior Staff discretion and the decision is final once reached. Violations do not need to be reported via a ticket as staff will assess the winning islands prior to each payout. If you are concerned about the eligibility of YOUR island, you may open a ticket for review.
4. Removing value from an island bank and giving to other islands without the island owner’s permission is not allowed.
