Respect everyone
Treat all players and staff with respect. No bullying, harassment, toxic behavior, offensive language, or slurs.
HOLLOW SMP RULEBOOKKnow the rules.
Know the rules.
Keep Hollow fair.
These rules apply to all players. Joining Discord is optional: you can play, apply for roles, and ask staff for help without joining it.
Respect & community
Keep names and cosmetics appropriate
No highly inappropriate, offensive, or NSFW usernames, skins, or capes.
No advertising
Do not advertise other Discord servers, server IPs, or websites in chat.
English in public chat
Type in English in public server chat so players and staff can understand you.
Follow staff instructions
If a moderator tells you to stop, stop. Staff decisions are final in the moment. If you disagree, raise it privately with staff in game or open a Discord ticket instead of arguing in public chat.
Protect personal information
Do not share someone else’s private information, impersonate staff, or threaten players.
Use common sense
Do not look for loopholes. If something is unfair, disruptive, or clearly against the spirit of a rule, do not do it. Ask staff when unsure.
Cheating & fair play
No hacking or cheating
Hacked clients, fly hacks, kill aura, auto-clickers, and X-ray mods or texture packs are strictly forbidden and will result in an instant ban.
No freecam
Freecam and similar unfair viewing tools are not allowed.
Report bugs; do not exploit them
Report duplication glitches and server bugs immediately to staff. Exploiting a bug for an advantage will get you banned.
No ban evasion or account abuse
Do not evade bans using another account. Do not use alternate accounts to bypass limits, or gain an unfair advantage.
No scams involving real money
Do not sell server items, ranks, or services for real money without owner permission. Do not run scams or fraudulent trades involving real money.
PvP & combat
Banned PvP styles
Crystal PvP and Bed PvP are strictly banned.
Allowed PvP styles
Sword and Axe PvP, Mace PvP, Cart PvP, and Spear/Mace PvP are allowed. All other combat rules still apply.
No naked killing
Do not kill unarmored players.
No spawn camping
Do not repeatedly target or kill players where they spawn or at their home bed.
No fleeing into spawn
Do not run into spawn’s safe zone while actively in combat.
No combat logging
Do not disconnect, use an alternate account, or abuse teleportation to escape an active fight.
Stay on your chosen side
Once you choose a side, stay on it. Do not switch sides to gain an advantage or escape consequences.
Items, maces & exploration
Two maces maximum
You may have a maximum of two maces. No loopholes, alternate-account storage, or other ways of bypassing the limit.
Do not hide maces in storage or displays
Do not put maces in ender chests or item frames, or hide them in other storage or displays. Violations may result in data removal and a 30-day ban.
No illegal Trial Chamber armor
Do not take armor with illegal enchantments from Trial Chambers. Keeping it may lead to a wipe. Keeping and sharing it may lead to a ban and a wipe. Report it to staff.
Maps are for finding players only
Maps may only be used to find players, not structures.
No stealing from spawn or the arena
Do not steal items, blocks, or loot from spawn or the PvP arena.
Building & server performance
Keep the server running smoothly
Do not build massive redstone clocks, high-frequency machines, or keep excessive entities or mobs that lag the server. Every automatic farm must have an on/off switch.
No bases in the Farlands
Do not build your base in the Farlands. Activity there can cause TPS drops and server lag.
Respect protected areas and event rules
Do not bypass area protections or interfere with staff-managed builds. Follow the rules announced for each event.
