Automatic griefing detection

This server automatically watches for griefing, such as breaking other people’s builds or covering them with graffiti. If you keep doing it, you get a temporary ban (you cannot join the server for a while), and what you broke is restored.

If you are playing normally, you do not need to worry about anything. Only actions such as breaking other people’s builds or placing lots of blocks near them are counted.

What is counted

The following two actions are counted. Who placed each block is determined from the same records used in Investigating griefing.

Breaking blocks placed by other players

Breaking a block that another player placed is counted. Naturally generated blocks and blocks you placed yourself are not counted. Trees and mushrooms that another player grew with bone meal are treated as natural. Harvesting crops and plants that another player planted (wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, sugar cane, bamboo, cactus, nether wart, and so on), as well as records of blocks placed before a resource world was reset, are not counted.

Placing many blocks near other people’s builds

Placing many blocks in a short time within 8 blocks of another player’s protected land is counted. Blocks placed in areas with no nearby protected land are not counted.

Places that are not counted

Work inside land protection where you are allowed to build is not counted. This includes your own land and land whose owner has trusted you.

From warning to temporary ban

The count over 10 minutes is checked. When you reach half of the limit, you get a warning. When you reach the limit, you get a temporary ban. The limit depends on your level.

Action	Level	Warning	Temporary ban
Breaking	Lv0–Lv1	15 blocks	30 blocks
Placing	Lv0–Lv1	30 blocks	60 blocks
Breaking	Lv2 or higher	40 blocks	80 blocks
Placing	Lv2 or higher	75 blocks	150 blocks

1. A warning appears

When you reach half of the limit, 「他の人の建築を壊しています」 (“You are breaking other people’s builds”) appears in the middle of the screen, and an explanation is sent in chat. If you were breaking things by mistake, stop there.

2. You get a temporary ban

If you continue, you get a 24-hour temporary ban and are disconnected from the server. Staff are also notified automatically.

3. Your changes are undone

At the same time as the temporary ban, all block changes that player made in the last 24 hours are undone. Broken builds are restored. Things you built yourself within those 24 hours are also removed.

If you were banned by mistake

Contact staff with /report on Discord. Staff will check and lift the ban.

If you find griefing

Some griefing is not stopped automatically. Investigate it with Investigating griefing, then report it to staff.
