Cheating

Category:Rules
==Cheating==
Part of the third Rule of Rhapsody declares that cheating on the server is against the rules. 
Cheating is defined as performing actions on the server that were not intentionally designed by the means of exploiting bugs or using disallowed mods. This page is designed to help clear up what is and what is not constituted as cheating.
__TOC__
== What is cheating? ==
* Abusing bugs or exploits in the game, i.e,
** Duplicating items,
** Exploiting manners to destroy bedrock,
** Using ender pearls or other items/mobs to enter otherwise inaccessible areas or
** Using any other unintentional bug/exploit.
* Using illegal mods, i.e,
** Using any form of a cheat client,
** Using flymod,
** Any form of combat enhancing mods or
** Anything listed under disallowed mods.
== What is NOT considered cheating ==
* Manipulating AI for farms, i.e.
** Creating iron farms,
** Using player-tracking farm setups,
** Using withers for obsidian farms,
* Using rank abilities for PVP, i.e.
** Using /heal in combat,
** Using /teleport or /summon then attacking the player,
** Using /tpto or /jumpto to avoid combat,
** Using another other command given to ranked players.
*** Note: These are when used as rank commands and not mod commands. Using any mod command only obtained by being a Moderator for player to player interaction is considered abuse. For example: Pvping and using /heal without the kit access is abuse.
***
* Using allowed mods, i.e.
** Inventory organizers,
** Using surface level minimaps with waypoints.
*** Note: Cave mapping or showing mobs and players is not allowed.
***
* Using macromod, keybind mods or,
** Using any other allowed mods.
=== Consequences ===
Failure to comply with our No Cheating policy will result in an immediate permanent ban. Depending on the offense, you may be warned once by staff before the ban ensues.
* The consequences of your actions caused by cheating may sometimes radiate further than a simple ban. By engaging in acts that blatantly exploit bugs or using disallowed mods, you may affect the integrity, stability, or performance of the server. In such cases, not only are you breaking our policy on cheating, but you are also violating our rule regarding being mindful to others on the server.
