3. Griefing and building
3.1 Destroying land in or around claimsPlayers may not damage land in or around claims (griefing). Players breaking this rule will be warned and damage will be rolled back. Players doing this more than once may face a permanent ban. Placing and removing blocks during siege war events is allowed when necessary to the extent needed in the conflict.Examples of grief (but not limited to):• Cobble monsters – Mountain-like structures that are built using lava and water.• Lava/water curtains – Placing rows of lava/water in the sky to make a wall of falling lava.• TNT craters.• Mass spawning entities within or around a town (chickens, boats, etc.).
3.2 Destroying land in wilderness
3.2.1 Removing structures and collecting resourcesWilderness is defined by Towny as any land not currently claimed. You are allowed to grief structures as long as they are not within or in close proximity to a claimed area (2 chunks outside claimed land). Any player may request major terrain grief to be rolled back even in the wilderness.We want to keep the custom map as clean as possible. That is why actively griefing the terrain without a purpose is strictly prohibited. Collecting resources is an exception to this rule.
3.2.2 Iceroads, Railways and regular roads.Breaking walkways, railways or ice roads is not allowed even in the wilderness. This does not only apply to the rails or the ice blocks, but all blocks the roads are made of. (note: Roads are allowed to be build above ground on land. Do you wish to build a road across the ocean or any type of sea biome? Then the road must be build underground).
3.3 Town claimsTowns claiming in a way to restrict the ability of neighboring towns to expand, referred to as claim blocking, is not allowed.Creating claim arms extending from towns is not allowed. These are protrusions which are often used to block the settlement and expansion of other towns or just artificially expand the area a town controls without the need to claim all of it.Towns are not allowed to have areas of unclaimed chunks inside of their borders, as this can substantially increase the size of a town without them actually having to increase their claim limit legitimately.Towns which are clearly created for no other reason than with the intent to block an existing town will also be removed, and it’s mayor might get punished for settling this town in certain instances.
3.4 Major terraformingIn order to preserve the accurate geography of the custom map, major terraforming of the natural terrain is not allowed. In general, if your edits of the landscape alter the Dynmap view of the natural landscape, they will be removed. Examples of this includes for instance draining large lakes/rivers, creating artificial islands, or covering the ocean with platforms. Vertical terraforming is allowed as it does not change the Dynmap view. Structures like boats do not count as major terraforming.
Do you wish to make an artificial island anyways? Then make a ticket, explaining where you want to build said island and how big you want it to be. The staff team will decide whether you’re allowed to build said island or not. 3.5 Map artMaking map art is allowed. However the map art must be removed 2 days after it’s completion. Your map art may not contain nudity, sexual content, racist imagery or anything else that breaks any part of rule 2. 3.6 Build style You are allowed to build in any style except in modern build styles (Anything post 1940). You're only allowed to build modern builds if you're giving them an aspect of "fantasy" like futuristic builds or steam punk modern builds. Asphalt roads a are not allowed to be build at all and will be removed by staff.
