General Conduct
1.1
Respect All Players

Harassment, personal attacks, and targeted bullying are not tolerated. Competitive rivalry and trash talk within reason is fine — sustained harassment is not.

Temp Ban
1.2
No Discrimination

Racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise discriminatory language or content will result in an immediate permanent ban with no appeal window.

Perm Ban
1.3
No Doxxing or IRL Threats

Sharing real-world personal information about players without consent, or making real-life threats of any kind, results in an immediate permanent ban.

Perm Ban
1.4
One Account Per Player

Alt accounts are not permitted. If you're banned, you cannot rejoin on another account. Any alt found in use will result in both accounts being permanently banned.

Perm Ban
Cheating & Exploits
2.1
No Hacked Clients

Use of any hacked client, cheat software, or unauthorized modifications that provide a gameplay advantage is a permanent ban. This includes killaura, speed, fly, reach, and X-ray.

Perm Ban

Allowed Mods

Optifine, Sodium, Iris, minimaps (without entity radar), and performance mods are permitted. When in doubt, ask staff in Discord before using a mod.

Allowed
2.3
No Bug Exploiting

Exploiting server bugs or duplication glitches for personal gain is prohibited. If you discover a bug, report it to staff immediately. Abuse of a known bug is a ban.

Perm Ban
2.4
No Autoclickers or Macros

Automated clicking, macro scripts, or AFK farming machines that interact with the world while you're not at your keyboard are not permitted.

Temp Ban
Griefing & Raiding
3.1
Griefing Claimed Land is Prohibited

Destroying, stealing from, or altering claimed kingdom territory outside of a declared war is forbidden. Unclaimed land may be raided freely.

Temp Ban
3.2
Raiding Within War is Permitted

During an active declared war between kingdoms, raiding and destruction of the opposing kingdom's territory is fully within the rules. This is ThroneForge.

Allowed
3.3
No Spawn or Warp Camping

Repeatedly killing new players at or near spawn who are not engaged in PvP is considered griefing. A 30-second spawn protection timer applies to new players.

Warning / Kick
3.4
No Lava Casting or Landscape Destruction

Intentionally destroying the natural landscape with lava, fire, or explosives outside of claimed war zones is a bannable offence, regardless of land ownership.

Temp Ban
Chat
4.1
No Spam or Flooding

Repeated messages, excessive caps, and character flooding disrupt the chat for everyone. Keep it readable.

Mute
4.2
English in Global Chat

Global chat must remain in English so staff can moderate effectively. Kingdom and private chats have no language restrictions.

Warning
4.3
No Advertising

Advertising other Minecraft servers, Discord servers not affiliated with ThroneForge, or any commercial product is not permitted.

Perm Ban
4.4
Keep it Civil

Excessive toxicity, slurs disguised as jokes, or deliberately inflammatory behaviour that disrupts the community will be handled at staff discretion.

Temp Mute
Economy
5.1
No Scamming

Scamming players in trades — including bait-and-switch, fake auctions, or misrepresenting goods — is prohibited. All trades are considered binding once confirmed.

Temp Ban
5.2
Crown Shards Must Be Earned

Attempting to duplicate, exploit, or transfer Crown Shards through unintended mechanics will result in a full economy wipe of your account and a ban.

Perm Ban
5.3
No RWT (Real World Trading)

Exchanging in-game items, currency, or ranks for real money outside of official store purchases is not permitted and may result in a permanent ban.

Perm Ban
Kingdoms & Warfare
6.1
Wars Must Be Declared

All offensive warfare must be formally declared through the KingdomsX system. Attacking claimed territory without a war declaration is treated as griefing.

Temp Ban
6.2
No Kingdom Trapping

Surrounding a kingdom's territory entirely with claims to block expansion or trap members inside is prohibited. Leave at least one side of egress free.

Warning / Rollback
6.3
Kingdom Names Must Be Appropriate

Kingdom names, flags, and slogans must not contain slurs, hate speech, or content that violates any other rule. Staff may forcibly rename offending kingdoms.

Forced Rename
Staff & Appeals
7.1
Follow Staff Instructions

Staff decisions are final in the moment. If you disagree with a ruling, use the appeals process in Discord — do not argue or evade in-game.

Temp Ban
7.2
Appeals via Discord Only

Ban appeals and punishment disputes must be submitted through the #appeals channel in our Discord. In-game attempts to circumvent bans will extend the punishment.

See Discord
