Welcome to the current ManaCube Earth Rules. When playing on Earth, you are expected to read and abide by these rules. "Not having read the rules" is not a valid excuse.
Breaking these rules may result in punishment. These rules are not an exhaustive list of what is and isn’t allowed. They are subject to change and can be updated by staff at any time. Warnings are given at staff discretion. Players who clearly know what they are doing may not receive any warnings.
Finally, false reporting players or hindering a staff member’s ability to moderate will result in punishment.
WARNING: Rule Bending, misinterpreting, finding loopholes or warping the meaning of the rules for an advantage are not permitted. In such cases, the situation will be reviewed by higher staff and appropriate punishments will be given.
DISCLAIMER: All of the punishment paths provided are guides and may vary depending on the severity of the case.
Destroying blocks or stealing items inside towns/plots are not allowed. Nation owners may only clear or remove plots after giving notice through /mail
. Clearing a plot without notice is considered griefing.
You may not destroy the map terrain by draining, flooding with lava or water, making cobble monsters, placing a lot of random blocks, deforestation (burning a lot of trees), or digging large holes unless the area is claimed.
When looting a ruined town, you may only break valuable blocks (ore blocks, beacons, spawners), crops, and containers .

Scamming other players for money, items, or services are not allowed. This can include naming an item incorrectly, such as renaming a wood sword “Diamond Sword” to try and scam people. Another method would be offering to pay a certain amount for an item but when you trade the item to the buyer, they do not pay the money (vice versa). Items are only returned if found.
Scamming cubits is not allowed on any server. Cubit scamming only applies to trades made with items or currency. We do not protect any cubit deals for teaming, sharing information or any other non-physical trade.

This also applies to joining a players town with the intent of stealing items. Place a sign at the chests that belong to you.
Personal items can be protected through plots. Public areas are not protected. The chest must have a clear indication of it belonging to a player, otherwise, the items may be taken.
