Primarily, we want people to have fun! After all, that is what playing games is for — escaping the real world for a little while. We also aim to create a safe, healthy, and friendly online environment for everyone to enjoy. Therefore, we enforce child-friendly values here, such as forbidding vulgar language, adult topics, etc.
Avallion is a passion project. We run this server because we enjoy playing Minecraft, we enjoy providing a friendly community and we enjoy the technical challenge; not because we're looking for money and profit. This server is free for everyone to play on, and we are all volunteers. Please remember this when interacting with staff! We have real lives and jobs. Sometimes we are tired, and sometimes we make mistakes.
Other important tenets that we will be continuing here are transparency and openness. Decisions made by the staff team will be open for all to see, except in circumstances where it would risk the security of the server. When we make mistakes, we own up to them. We hope to see this kind of honesty from our players as well. If you spot a bug or a glitch, tell us! We strive to fix problems quickly and not leave users feeling left out in the cold.

PvP is a controversial subject for most players, especially in a survival setting. It often reverts hours upon hours of progress, and give it to someone who's simply better at killing. However, we believe that taking responsibility, in this case at protecting yourself from PvP, is an very important value. We are striving to have a server where PvP is not frowned upon.
PvP is enabled in Avallion Survival, but we have also provided many easy ways to protect against it. Claim your base and the surrounding area; direct PvP is completely disabled inside claims. Don’t accept teleport requests from people you don’t trust. Don’t let your coordinates be known. If you have the dedication to, build two bases, one that is only known by you and nobody else. Only do trades at spawn, where PvP is blocked.
Trapping inside claims is forbidden. Trapping, in this context, is utilizing environmental damage to kill other players. Since environmental damage is still enabled inside claims, players might build traps inside their claims to bypass direct PvP protection. However, this is an unfair tactic; the other party wouldn't be able to escape from the claimed trap nor could they defend themselves. Setting up traps outside claims, on the other hand, is allowed.
That being said, these methods of trapping are not allowed, whether inside a claim or not:
Teleport-killing is not forbidden, so it is your responsibility to avoid it. When you teleport to another player using /tpa or /tpahere, PvP between you and the other party is disabled for 120 seconds. This helps mitigate teleport-killing, but doesn't completely prevent it. Make sure to NEVER accept teleport requests from strangers and teleport only to players you know.
Warp-killing, whether the player warp is yours or not, is forbidden. If you're making a player warp, make sure to claim the area around it to prevent warp-killers and campers.
| Offense | Punishment |
|---|---|
| Mild offense | Warning & kick |
| 1st offense | Ban 24 hours |
| 2nd offense | Ban 3 days |
| 3rd offense | Ban 7 days |
| 4th offense | Ban 30 days |
| 5th offense | Permanent ban |
Griefing and stealing is impossible inside claims. Always claim your base to prevent griefing. When a player you've trusted to a claim griefs it, they will be punished depending on the damage and the claim will be rollbacked to its undamaged state. All the items inside containers will also be rollbacked. Stolen items will be taken away from the griefer.
If your land isn't claimed and it got griefed, the griefer will still be punished accordingly, and all stolen items will be taken away. However, the damage will NOT be rollbacked; the area wasn't claimed in the first place and is therefore your responsibility.
| Offense | Punishment |
|---|---|
| Mild offense | Ban 24 hours |
| Moderate offense | Ban 3 days |
| Severe offense | Ban 7 days |
| Critical offense | Permanent ban |
Hacking in any shape is absolutely NOT allowed. No exceptions. We take hackers very seriously in Avallion, and if you attempt to hack here, you will face grave consequences.
Autoclickers, macros and physical weights on your keyboard/mouse/controller are not allowed.
If the hack directly or indirectly gives you advantages in the form of items (such as X-ray), in addition to getting banned, your items will be taken away, and your Survival rank and balance will be reset.
Modded clients that give you unfair advantages are strictly forbidden. Printer, autobuilding, and schematics mods are not allowed. These are the ONLY allowed mods on Avallion:
All mods that are not explicitly stated here are forbidden. Do not ask staff whether your mod is allowed or not. If you're caught, or even simply admitting to using a forbidden mod, you will be punished; even if you didn't know it was forbidden.
| Offense | Punishment |
|---|---|
| Mild offense | Warning |
| 1st offense | Kick |
| 2nd offense | Ban 30 days |
| 3rd offense | Permanent ban |
Please, do NOT share your personal information anywhere online. Even to your closest online friends. This is for your digital and physical safety. Once your identity leaks online, it will never fade away. Even worse, you might be doxxed or blackmailed by complete strangers. Know that Avallion takes these matters seriously and will take it in our hands, but you'll also have to play your part by not sharing private information.
You are only allowed to have one account. This means you are not allowed to have alt accounts. Staff reserve the right to permanently ban any accounts which we suspect to be used by a single person. If other people play from the same location (IP) as you, you must tell staff members.
For increased security, every player has to /register and /login into the server using a password. If you have a Mojang Minecraft account (premium account), type /premium so you won't have to type in a password anymore. To protect your account and recover it in case you forgot your password, link your email address using /email add.
To protect your account even more, use Two Factor Authentication (2FA). This feature makes it so whenever you log into the server, you will be required to enter a 6-digit code which only you can get. For this, you'll need to download an Authenticator application, such as Google Authenticator. In-game, type /2fa add. Then click on the link and scan the QR code using your Authenticator app. If everything goes right you will get a 6-digit code on the screen. Type /2fa confirm (code) to enable 2FA. This code in the app changes every 30 seconds, and the previous one will expire quickly. Now, every time you login — whether you have premium or not — you will be asked to type /2fa code (code), in which you'll need to input the latest code in the app.
Punishments are a method to deter undesirable actions and attitude. They are not personal; so please do not attack the staff who'd punished you. Keep in mind that the punishments listed on this page are just guidelines, and most of the time the actual punishments will vary depending on multiple factors. We treat every player fairly, but if the player in question have committed their offenses repeatedly or severely, we will give heavier punishments.
Do NOT attempt to evade your punishment. You did something wrong, and now you must face the consequences of your action. If you evade, prepare to face twice the punishment.
Bypassing your ban by logging in with another account will lead to that account being permanently banned, and the ban duration on your main account will be doubled. Evading bans by using a VPN will get you permanently banned on ALL accounts you own.
Bypassing your mute by using /me or chatting live from the Discord server will double your mute. If bypassed from Discord, you will also be muted there.
Sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes people show true regret and remorse for breaking the rules. We think that, in many cases, people deserve another chance. Don’t rush to appeal. Let your emotions cool off, and think about the situation from both sides.
To create a ban appeal, visit our Discord server, go to #support channel and click the letter reaction. Open the #ticket-xxxx channel created for you and choose Unban/Unmute Appeals. Type your Minecraft username and follow the instructions. When appealing, there’s a few important things to keep in mind:
Redstone is an important part of the game, and we encourage users to build cool redstone devices! However, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
We do allow non-vanilla spawners to be used via the spawner shop. However, there are important limits to keep in mind. There is a limit of five (5) spawners per chunk. This is to minimize the number of entities that end up bunched together. Please do not try and circumvent this; the spirit of this rule is to keep entity counts reasonable, so that you and others may enjoy the server with minimal lag.
