Griefing Rules

Due to the nature of this server, Griefing is a complicated topic. on our server, Griefing refers to the reckless destruction of unclaimed buildings and infrastructure.

For example, clearing forest or buildings to fix abandoned railways or roads IS NOT considered Griefing.

but if you were to blow up a forest or building with explosives for no reason, it IS considered Griefing.

If you are worried that you might grief something and want to clarify first, please ask an Admin or Moderator before destroying something.

These rules will likely be subject to change as we seek a better solution to make this problem easier to moderate.

Guide

You have entered the Forlorn City.

Your goal is to rebuild the city with others that you meet along the way. It is up to you how to rebuild the city, but this will serve as a guide to help you understand some of the server functions.

This guide serves as a brief introduction to the server and its current functions. It will be updated frequently, so please back g

Starting out

When you first spawn in, there will be some items in your hotbar. They include:

• 16 Bread
• 1 Stone Shovel
• 1 Stone Pickaxe
• 1 Stone Sword
• 1 Stone Axe
• 1 Stone Hoe

These are designed to get you started with surviving in the city.

At Spawn, there are four NPCs. Their functions are as follows:

RULES: Displays the rules, which can also be found using the command /rules.

FAQ: Will have some Frequently Asked Questions, as questions come in.

PURCHASER: Clicking this villager will bring up our server's version of /shop. More info on Pg. _.

AUCTION: Opens the auctionhouse (/ah).

Trusts

Trusts are used to claim areas of land in the city. They function similar to a faction or town in that you can claim land and have your friends join, but unlike them, you cannot be enemies or allies with other Trusts.

A trust with a singular player can claim up to 5 chunks of land.

Players can group together and be in the same trust, with each person adding their 5 chunks to group (so a trust with two players has 10 chunks, a 3 player trust has 15, etc.)

• Trusts use the /trust command, or /t for short.
• To create a trust, use /t(rust) create [name].
• To claim the chunk you are standing in for your trust, use /t(rust) claim.
• Use /t help for more commands.

Trusts are able to claim non-contiguous chunks (meaning the chunks do not have to be connected.)

Claims and Areas

Once you have started a Trust, you are able to claim:

• Most city buildings
• Parks
• Rural Areas (areas with natural terrain)
• Villages, Mansions, & Pillager Outposts
• Temples & Bastions

Areas that Trusts are ARE NOT able to claim include:

• Infrastructure (see below)
• Nether Fortresses and the Main End Island
• Strongholds

Buildings/Areas that have infrastructure or a Stronghold underneath them CAN BE CLAIMED. However, they MUST BE ACCESSIBLE to the entire server at all times. Failure to comply with this will result in punishment.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure refers to areas used for transportation, as mentioned, they may include:

• Tunnels
• Roads
• Walkways
• Railways

Infrastructure may also include Railway or Subway stations. these cannot be claimed by trusts. The only time infrastructure is allowed to be claimed is, as mentioned, when it is UNDERNEATH a regular building/area.

We do however encourage you to rebuild any infrastructure that you would like, as a lot of it is damaged. You are also able to use any vehicles bought from the shop with the infrastructure.

As outlined in our Griefing rules, recklessly destroying any infrastructure will not be allowed and is punishable. You are however able to significantly alter or improve the infrastructure as you see fit.

Transportation

This server uses the Vehicles plugin. Vehicles are relatively expensive and cannot be crafted; they must be bought using the Purchaser at spawn or by the using the /shop command.

• Drills (for mining)
• Cars
• Aircraft (Planes, Helicopters)
• Trains
• Boats
• Submarines
• and more soon!

Buying & Selling

Currently, there are two main ways to buy and sell items in the city:

• The Shop, which allows you to sell valuables in order to allow you to buy vehicles. This function will be improved soon.
• The Auction, which allows you to sell items to the server at a price that you set.

We are looking at adding chest shops for players, and/or as mentioned on the previous page, improving Purchaser. You can access both Purchaser and the Auction via their respective commands,

• /shop
• /auctionhouse (/ah).

Dimensions

Players are able to use the Nether, End and other dimensions as usual, and can claim in them as long as they are following the claims rules listed above.
