Server Rules
The Rules
Everything below applies to every player on the network. "I didn't know the rules" is never an excuse · take five minutes and read them. Unsure about something? Make a ticket on Discord and staff will confirm.
Disclaimers & Information
01 / 05- Using the excuse "I didn't know/read the rules" is never acceptable.
- Using the excuse "I was just joking" is never acceptable.
- Rules can be updated at any time · updates are posted on Discord.
- If you're unsure about something, make a ticket for staff to confirm.
- Admins reserve the right to assign punishments for any circumstances that may harm the server but are not listed under any pre-existing rule. This includes loopholes, abuse, and any other ways that may affect the server.
- When transferring island ownership you're giving the leader the right to manage you and your island members as they wish. They're not required to transfer it back.
- Team issues are handled by the island leader · staff step in once server rules are broken.
- Team payouts always go to the island leader, who decides how to split them.
- Playing with multiple people on the same IP (siblings etc.)? Make a ticket beforehand to avoid punishment.
- You're eligible for the Winner Title after being part of that team for at least 14 days before the last week.
- Breaking bannable rules while competing (cheating, island merging, boosting) can result in disqualification.
- If any island member breaks such a rule, the entire island receives a star penalty of at least 25%.
- Leaving a disqualified island requires a ticket · you leave everything behind except store purchased items.
Punishments & Appeals
02 / 05Warning
Used for minor chat offenses. Continuing after a warning results in a punishment · depending on severity, the warning can be skipped.
Mute
No speaking in global chat or the Discord → in-game chat. /ms and /shout stay available · breaking rules there means another punishment or losing those commands. Bypassing a mute with an alt or join messages increases it.
Temp Ban
No connecting to the server until the punishment expires or an appeal is accepted. Playing on another account is Ban Evasion · all linked accounts get banned, constant evasion can mean a blacklist.
Community Removal
A longer removal from the network due to a history of continuous unwanted behavior. It is a last warning to change your behavior.
Perm Mute
A permanent chat punishment for violating the rules multiple times. Only reversed if an appeal is accepted by an admin or higher.
Perm Ban
Works like a temp ban but never expires unless an appeal is accepted.
Blacklist
Complete removal from the network · banned from Discord and in game. Not appealable.
Appeals
Any punishment can be appealed within 72 hours of receiving it, through the Ticket bot on Discord. Need help? Message any staff member.
Chat Offenses
03 / 05Examples give you an idea of what's not allowed · if something is not listed, that does not imply it is allowed.
Mentioning server names
Sending messages where you mention other server names, other than Minehut or Hypixel.
Spamming
Spamming the chat with 3 or more messages in a short time span. You can only advertise that you're selling something once per 2 minutes, and only one member of a team may advertise per 2 minutes. Anything repeated in chat can only be sent once every 2 minutes.
Excessive caps
Sending a line or multiple messages using mostly caps. Something like "LOL" or "LMAO" is alright · "LMAAOAOAOAOOOOO" is not. Abusing it brings a punishment.
Excessive characters / symbols
Sending or spamming the same characters or symbols in a line or multiple messages.
Encouraging chat spam
Sending a message that incites others to spam the chat or a player's DMs.
Encouraging or baiting into breaking a chat rule
Sending a message for players to break rules or convincing people to do so.
Death threats
Sending messages with IRL death threats or telling another player to harm/kill themselves. This includes telling a player to die in an event.
Non-English
Talking in chat in a language that isn't English.
Fake messages
Lying to a player on purpose with fake messages about anything on the server with the goal of misleading them.
Impersonation / staff impersonation
Sending messages in chat or DMs pretending you are someone famous or a staff member.
Offensive language (not directed)
Using offensive language such as disability or sexual-orientation terms even when not aimed at other players, sexual content, excessive drug talk or sensitive subjects.

Gameplay Offenses
04 / 05Examples give you an idea of what's not allowed · if something is not listed, that does not imply it is allowed.
Boosting
Boosting a player that is not in your team with items or currency to help them progress faster. "Gifts" worth 500m+ in any currency are not allowed, and gifts up to 500m only once per 24 hours. Knowingly accepting large gifts can get you banned too. The maximum trade value is 50% of #5 on baltop, once per 24 hours, counted per team. Overpaying is allowed only when the goal is genuinely obtaining a hard-to-get item, not boosting someone. You may give ranks away for free (only ranks, not other /buy items). Player events and giveaways are allowed with at least 5 participants from different teams.
Stealing
Stealing something from someone on purpose and not giving it back · like picking up an item dropped in a trade between two other players.
Insiding / griefing
Joining someone's team to steal their items, or intentionally destroying a team's island or belongings.
Scamming
Agreeing on a trade and not holding up your end of it, misleading a player about the price or nature of an item, or selling something that isn't what the buyer obviously believes it is. If a player pays you under the impression you agreed to a trade, you must provide the item or refund them. It also applies outside trades · like announcing a parkour prize and not paying up.
Chat macros
Using a client or software to automatically or instantly send messages that are harmful or give an advantage · auto-reacting to chat games, auto "welcome", auto "gg".
Bug abusing
Abusing a bug that gives you an advantage over others instead of reporting it. Includes bug abusing in player events.
Annoying players
Standing in front of players while they slay, mine, farm or fish just to annoy them. Spamming that can't be stopped with a mute (anti-cheat kick abuse, payment spam) results in a ban. Dropping items into players or hoppers on purpose isn't allowed either.
Hacking
Using any hack to gain unfair advantages. Even logging on with a hacked client is not allowed. Faking a hack (pretending to autofish by not responding) is punished too. See the allowed modifications below.
Casino / gambling
Player-run casinos are not allowed because of the EULA. Mentioning casino or gambling anywhere isn't allowed either, including gambling sunbits in any way.
Inappropriate builds, skins, names or capes
Building sensitive or inappropriate builds, breaking chat rules on signs, item names or builds, or using inappropriate names, capes or skins.
Money loans / item renting
Loans and renting out tools/pets/armor are not allowed under any circumstances, even for "fair" pay. Share a tool outside your island and it gets stolen · staff will not return it, and you may be banned.
Banning staff from islands
Banning staff from your island, plot or team so they can't teleport or visit is not allowed. Concerns about a staff member? Report to an admin or higher.
Exploiting / duping
Abusing an exploit or dupe for your own advantage rather than reporting it as soon as you find it.
Illegal trades / IRL trading
Trading anything involving real money or anything outside the SunRealms network. Attempting, suggesting or offering results in a network removal, whether or not the deal went through.
IRL scamming
Receiving premium currency/items from the store and not fulfilling the agreed deal · instant permanent ban.
Community disruption
If your actions on the server are harmful or toxic, you will be removed from the SunRealms network.
Server / user attacks
Intentionally lagging, crashing or attacking the stability of the server. Using malicious links, IP grabbers, DDoSing or doxxing anyone on the network.
Encouraging or baiting into breaking a ban rule
Encouraging or baiting another player to break a bannable rule.
Alternate accounts & account sharing
Two or more people sharing one account to grind or gain an advantage is not allowed · you may only log on for another person and go AFK. Gave an account away? Tell staff in a ticket first. [Gens] alts must be part of your island (/is team), up to the island size limit. [Prison] only 1 alt per person. EasyMC/public accounts connected to your IP are punished too. Sharing an IP with a sibling or relative? Inform staff as soon as possible.
Alt islands / teams
All your alts must be on the same team, island or gang, and all value must be kept on 1 single island. Using an alt to store items or value is not allowed.
Island / team merging
Merging islands/teams to affect the leaderboards is not allowed in any form. Any merging that affects them must be approved by an admin first.
Island / team hopping
Leaving an island and taking a lot of value to another team to affect the leaderboards is not allowed. When leaving a team you can't take tools, armor, currencies or items the team grinded for · even if you grinded them alone. Items placed on an island belong to the island owner. You may only take your soulbound items, your own gens and items bought directly from Tebex; currency goes to your team or to a SrMod+ if you're solo joining a team. Unsure what you can take? Make a ticket.
Kicking members
Kicking a player who contributed monetary value without a legitimate reason is not allowed. This doesn't mean you can never be kicked · abusing this rule to avoid being kicked is not allowed either.
