PRISONS & SKYBLOCK RULES
The tiered rules for Prisons and Skyblock, plus the island DQ point rules.
Updated
These rules apply on Prisons and Skyblock. The Pixelmon and Cobblemon servers have their own rules.
Rules are sorted into five tiers by how serious they are. Every rule in a tier has the same punishment ladder, shown at the top of the tier: Tier 1 starts with a warning, Tier 5 is a permanent ban on the first offense. Skyblock islands can also collect disqualification (DQ) points that take them off the /is top leaderboard. If a rule is unclear, ask a staff member.

Autoclicking and AFK Clicking

Excessive Alts
You may have up to 3 alt accounts besides your main. Alts may stay AFK but may not run any automated tasks.
Banning Staff
Banning staff from your island is not allowed. Triggering the anticheat while doing so is treated as cheating. If you think a staff member is abusing this, message a manager.
Account Sharing
Sharing an account to grind, share items or gain any other unfair advantage.
Example: Sharing an account so it can grind around the clock.
Alt Abuse
Using alts to claim one-time rewards more than once or to gain any other advantage. Ask a staff member if you are unsure.
Disallowed Modification
Any mod that is not on the legal modifications list and has not been approved by staff, plus any physical or software trick that gives an unfair advantage: printers and similar mods, two mice at once, a debounce time under 10 ms, rebinding left click, drag clicking and the like.
Example: Easyplace or fast place, weighing a key down, or setting a mouse button to double click.

Autoclicking in PvP
Any autoclicker in PvP, under any circumstances, including rebinding left click and drag clicking.

TIER 5 · PERMANENT BAN
8 RULES
- ANY OFFENSEPermanent Ban
Dupe Glitches
Duplicating items, or looking for exploits to do so. Reporting a dupe to staff is often rewarded; abusing one is a permanent ban.
Major Glitch Abuse
Exploiting any glitch with serious effects on the server, such as crashing it or griefing with it. If you find a glitch, tell a staff member right away.
SKYBLOCK ISLAND RULES
These rules are for Skyblock islands. Breaking one gives the whole island DQ points, on top of any punishment for the players involved.
TEAM ISLANDS
15 RULES
A team island can collect up to 5 DQ points. Reaching the limit means disqualification from /is top for up to a season, depending on how serious it is, island deletion, or punishments for the island leader or members.
Alt Islands2 DQ POINTS
Everything must stay on one island. A second island for storing wealth, extra space or anything else is not allowed.
Hacking or Autoclicking1 DQ POINT
Each time a member of the island is banned for hacking or autoclicking, the island gets a point.
Unauthorized Entry2 DQ POINTS
Glitching or exploiting your way into an island, plot or claim you were kicked or banned from, or are not allowed in. If you cannot reach an area the normal way, do not use a loophole.
Laggy Farms and Islands3 DQ POINTS
Keep lag at a reasonable level and change your island or farms when staff ask. Efficient farms are encouraged. There is no punishment if the laggy machine is removed in good time.
Minor Exploits2 DQ POINTS
Using a glitch that does not break the game to get an unfair advantage. Report these to a staff member.
Scripts4+ DQ POINTS
Scripts that run several commands at once or automate actions such as fishing or farming. Single-command macros, like the ones in Labymod, may be allowed: ask a staff member. The points can vary.
Major Exploits5 DQ POINTS
Using any major glitch or exploit, dupes included, without reporting it to staff means instant disqualification.
Merging Islands5 DQ POINTS
Merging or unmerging islands to affect /is top in any way. An admin must approve every merge first, and the merging island may not bring any of its belongings.
Splitting Wealth5 DQ POINTS
Giving wealth to smaller islands to collect more than one /is top reward. A team can hold only one /is top position per payout.
Island Boosting5 DQ POINTS
Giving or selling items at unreasonable prices, or making unreasonable offers, to change the /is top leaderboard, or boosting to work against other islands. The management team decides what is unreasonable. This applies all season and is strictly enforced before every payout. Giving grinded items or renting dragon boss sets to other islands to sell for a cut, so they get a higher sell multiplier, is not allowed. Serious cases can also mean a Tier 4 ban.
Extreme Toxicity1 DQ POINT
Islands may not be overly toxic in chat or in what they do. Friendly competition is welcome, but there is a line. A manager must approve every toxicity DQ.
Swapping IslandsPOINTS SET BY STAFF
Before moving from one island to another, tell a member of the management team (jr. admin or above) so they can check what you bring. Nothing that affects island value may come along: money, value blocks, skycoins, spawners or anything else management names.
Unreasonable GiveawaysPOINTS SET BY STAFF
Giveaways or drop parties with enough value to affect the /is top leaderboard (money notes, value blocks and so on). Small giveaways are fine. If yours could affect the game, open a ticket and get staff permission first. Serious cases can also bring a punishment.
SOLO ISLANDS
3 RULES
A solo island can collect up to 3 DQ points, with the same results as a team island. Every team island rule above applies to solo islands too.
Alt Boosting5 DQ POINTS
Everything must stay on one island. You may not invite your alts to the island or interact with them in any way: trades, dropped items, payments and so on. Alts may only vote (their rewards may not go to your main, except gift cards) and keep chunks loaded. They may not help grind island value in any way.
ALLOWED MODS
Only mods on the legal modifications list are allowed, unless staff have given you permission for another one. Anything else falls under Disallowed Modification (Tier 3) or Hacking (Tier 4).
