Rules

Read them once and you'll be fine.

Updated on August 6, 2026

These rules apply across all of NokBox: the server, Discord and any other community space. Not knowing them won't get a punishment reversed, so give them five minutes.

If you think a punishment of yours was unfair, open a ticket on Discord with the link to it. Arguing about it in public chat won't undo it.

General rules

These apply across the whole network, in every game mode.

  • G1

    No hacks, advantage mods or macros

    Critical

    Any client, mod or external program that gives you an edge is banned: killaura, fly, x-ray, reach, autoclickers and macros of any kind.

    Allowed: OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, minimaps without cave or entity radar, Litematica in read-only mode, and purely visual mods.

    If you're unsure about a specific mod, ask before using it. Asking is free; the ban isn't refundable.

    Punishment:Permanent ban

  • G2

    Don't abuse bugs or server glitches

    Serious

    If you find a bug that hands you items, money or access you shouldn't have, report it. Using it is punished, and sharing it with others is punished just the same.

    Reporting a serious bug gets you a reward. Hiding it doesn't.

    Punishment:Temporary ban + removal of anything gained

  • G3

    One account per person

    Moderate

    No alts to double up on rewards, vote twice, dodge punishments or pad the leaderboards.

    If several of you live in the same house and share a connection, tell staff in a ticket before the automated system flags you.

    Punishment:Ban of the secondary accounts

  • G4

    Don't evade punishments

    Critical

    Joining on another account, another IP or a VPN while punished resets the punishment and makes it permanent. If you think it was wrong, appeal it — don't dodge it.

    Punishment:Permanent ban on every account

  • G5

    Treat staff decently

    Moderate

    Staff are volunteers. You can disagree with a decision and say so, but insults, harassment and ticket spam are not on.

    Impersonating staff is an instant punishment.

    Punishment:Mute or temporary ban depending on the case

Chat and communication

How we talk to each other, in game and outside it.

  • C1

    No insults, discrimination or harassment

    Serious

    Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and any attack on who someone is.

    Trash talk during PvP is part of the game. Going beyond that isn't.

    Punishment:Escalating mute → ban

  • C2

    No spam or flooding

    Minor

    Don't repeat the same message, don't type in CONSTANT CAPS and don't fill chat with meaningless characters.

    Punishment:Mute from 10 minutes to 1 hour

  • C3

    Don't advertise other servers

    Serious

    No IPs, no other people's Discord links, no "look it up on YouTube". Sharing your own channel or socials is fine when it's relevant.

    Punishment:Permanent ban

  • C4

    Protect personal information

    Critical

    Posting someone's private information (real name, address, phone, photos, IP) is doxing and is punished with no prior warning, even if the person isn't on the server.

    Punishment:Permanent ban

  • C5

    Keep content suitable for everyone

    Serious

    No sexual content, no gore, no links to sites of that kind. There are minors playing here.

    Punishment:Long mute or ban depending on severity

Survival

Rules specific to the Survival game mode.

  • S1

    Don't steal from or destroy other people's builds

    Serious

    Griefing and stealing are banned even when a build is unprotected. "It was open" is not a defence.

    Protect your things with /claim, but not doing so doesn't give anyone permission to walk in.

    Punishment:Rollback + temporary ban

  • S2

    No scamming in trades

    Moderate

    Player trades are your business, but promising something and not delivering is a scam and we act on it when there's proof.

    Tip: record your big trades. Without evidence there's little we can do.

    Punishment:Refund + temporary ban in serious cases

  • S3

    Don't build machines that wreck the server

    Moderate

    Huge entity farms, never-ending redstone clocks and deliberate lag machines get removed without warning. If you're not sure your design is fine, ask before you build it.

    Punishment:Machine removed + warning

  • S4

    Respect other people's space

    Minor

    Don't build right against someone's base without permission, and don't block public paths or entrances.

    Punishment:Warning and relocation

Generators

Rules for the generators game mode.

  • N1

    No autoclickers on generators

    Serious

    The generator leaderboards are competitive and public. Automating clicks takes you off the board and takes your progress with it.

    Punishment:Stats reset + temporary ban

  • N2

    No moving money between game modes

    Moderate

    The generators economy stands on its own. Moving money in from other modes breaks the price balance.

    Punishment:Money removed

  • N3

    No real-money trading

    Critical

    Selling or buying items, ranks or in-game money for real money is banned. Not by bank transfer, not by PayPal, not by anything.

    Punishment:Permanent ban for both parties

Discord

These apply on the community Discord server.

  • D1

    Use each channel for what it's for

    Minor

    Every channel has its topic in the description. Screenshots go in #screenshots, questions in #help, memes in #offtopic.

    Punishment:Warning

  • D2

    Tickets are for real problems

    Minor

    Opening tickets to ask when the server reopens, or to push an appeal that's already been decided, only slows down the queue for people who actually need it.

    Punishment:Ticket closed and a warning

  • D3

    Appropriate name and avatar

    Moderate

    No unpronounceable names, invisible characters, offensive handles, or names impersonating another community member.

    Punishment:Forced change or removal
