Season 5 Rulebook
Server Rules
This is the public rule reference for SakibSMP and Duels. It expands the in-game /rules list with examples, banned mods, and how staff enforce problems.
If a mod, client setting, macro, exploit, or setup gives you information or actions that normal vanilla players do not have, assume it is not allowed until staff clearly approve it. "I did not know the rules" is not a ban appeal.
Yes
Raiding and base griefing are part of the SMP. Protect your base and valuables.
No
Do not farm players at spawn, warps, portals, or required access points.
Final
Staff decisions are final during incidents. Appeal calmly through Discord if needed.
Client Policy

Official Rules
Detailed rule list
No hacking or cheating
Do not use X-ray, ESP, hack clients, unfair mods, autoclickers, macros, combat assists, or anything that gives unfair information or input.
Example: A minimap with entity radar, a texture pack that reveals ores, or an autoclicker in PvP can all be punished as cheating.
Raiding and griefing are allowed
Raiding bases, stealing from unprotected areas, and destroying builds are allowed on the SMP. Claim, hide, and defend your stuff.
Example: Breaking into an unprotected base is allowed. Using X-ray, ESP, duped items, or exploits to find or raid that base is not allowed.
No respawn killing or access-point camping
Do not repeatedly kill or damage players at spawn, public warps, portals, RTP points, event entrances, or required access points.
Example: Waiting at a portal or warp to farm kills, loot, AP, stats, or stop someone from playing is not allowed.
No exploits, dupes, or economy abuse
Do not abuse bugs, glitches, shop mistakes, reward loops, dupe methods, rollback issues, or plugin errors. Report serious bugs instead of profiting from them.
Example: If a shop item sells for a broken price or a crate/reward can be claimed repeatedly, using it for profit is punishable even if the server lets you click it.
No alt, VPN, or system abuse
Do not use alts, VPNs, shared accounts, or account switching to evade punishments, farm rewards, bypass limits, fake referrals, manipulate duels, or hide your identity.
Example: Using an alt to bypass a mute, rejoin after a ban, farm /invite rewards, or boost duel stats can punish both accounts.
Keep chat competitive, not hostile
Trash talk is allowed. Slurs, hate speech, harassment, sexual harassment, threats, doxxing, personal information, spam, fake giveaways, and targeted abuse are not allowed.
Example: "You are bad at PvP" is normal trash talk. Repeated harassment, slurs, threats, or telling people to harm themselves is punishable.
No scamming trades
Do not scam items, money, ranks, keys, IRL payments, or agreed trades. If you make a clear deal, honor it.
Example: Taking payment and refusing to give the agreed item is scamming. Normal raiding or stealing from an unprotected base is separate and allowed.
Listen to staff
Do not argue punishment decisions in public chat, look for loopholes, lie during investigations, impersonate staff, or interfere with staff handling an incident.
Example: If staff ask you to stop, freeze, show a clip, or move a conversation to a ticket, do that first and appeal later if you disagree.
Duels
Competitive integrity
- Do not farm wins, losses, AP, stats, rewards, or rating with friends, alts, or repeated fake matches.
- Do not abuse the duel invite system, queue system, arena boundaries, disconnects, kits, or rollback behavior.
- Suspicious duel results may be voided while staff review logs, anti-cheat alerts, or player clips.
- Anti-cheat alerts are evidence, not a public debate. Staff may ask for clips or run controlled checks before final action.
Staff Process
How rules are enforced
- Staff should use evidence: logs, screenshots, clips, anti-cheat alerts, Sentinel cases, or direct staff observation.
- Normal escalation is warning, mute, temporary ban, longer ban, then permanent review depending on severity and repeats.
- Dupes, exploit abuse, doxxing, ban evasion, severe cheating, and targeted hate can escalate faster.
- Staff members who break serious rules can receive normal punishments plus staff review or demotion.
Unsure?
Ask before using it
If your client, modpack, resource pack, macro, or setting is not clearly allowed here, ask staff before using it. Being honest before an issue is much better than explaining it after a punishment.
