@Cileklim It would be much easier and less confusing for us if it was written in somewhere else. How are we supposed to avoid a rule that is not written in anywhere?

By not trying to purposely gain an advantage and profit from a system designed to help players who lost their books ?
I mean it clearly wasn't intended to make people wealthy.

We can't cover every explicit variation of behaviour that is undesirable and should not be allowed on the server sadly, it's just not possible without creating a document many pages long. We need the flexibility to close loopholes too that we hadn't anticipated and are not listed on the fly
It probably will get added some time soon enough, since it's been brought up quite a bit recently with the upsurge in villagers but it's just one of many admin rulings.

You need not worry however, we would never ban without giving prior warning on a ruling that is not listed in the rules unless you are trying to purposely harm the server.

@Cileklim It's not. I just found out trading guide books for emeralds to villagers was not allowed.

That isn't obivious ?
I mean its clearly taking advantage of the server in a way that was not the intended function and which would not occur in standard vanilla, so to me it's a clear cut exploit.

@Grinning_Bobcat @Nysic well that's one thing covered out of the many exploits known. thanks for informing I'm just trying to define the line of rule breaking to myself so I can do my things within it seeing that the rules page is a little too general in my book

It's the one thing stopping it, it pretty much makes staffs' decisions on these things law... Any other exploits that are allowed or will that be all? Sorry for bothering you once again and seeming like a troublesome player but I want to keep the server safe and friendly as much as you do, Honestly.

We can't explicitly list every possible situation that needs to be covered by the rules sadly hence the need for this rule.
We do try employ it as least as possible instead using rules that specifically address the issue at hand however.

No other exploits will be allowed, if they are we will inform people, feel free to ask for clarity on specific situations however.
Generally its pretty obvious what isn't and is allowed however, we aren't overly restrictive and it's easy to tell what is an exploit and what isn't.

Staff already have a system of working out how many entities are in a chunk and displaying it as a list although rarely used.
It's not really an issue to be honest since the Mod2's keep a close eye on entity counts. I can't see any reason to give access to normal players this info, they can't really do anything and it's one more thing to spam.

10 DB's is pretty much the perfect price, even at the start of the map when there was only like 10 in existence they where only worth 30 DB.

Banned thanks for report.

Hi I'm the Mod that banned you, pearling around restricted areas of spawn is forbidden.
After being caught the first time, tezzer warned you about this and yet when he came back he discovered you there once again ignoring the order.
So yes you do deserve this for disobeying staff and trying to cheat.
There's no misunderstanding either for that matter.

You will be unbanned in 3 days from this post depending on admin availability.

Hi I'm the Mod that banned you.
I did this becuase you violated our chat rules related to sexual talk and keeping things appropriate. Mainly by spamming your "asl" with sexuallyy suggestive things posted at the end.
You will be unbanned in 3days at an admins convience.

The collectables are rare items they aren't supposed to be easy to get or for the majority of players to be able to grind quickly.
It would defeat much of the purpose of them if they were not.

@Shvex I haven't seen any vanilla servers at all like what I described so.

Well I'm sure Google can help.
You may inquire in a private message if you so wish.
