RULES

1. Be Respectful - Keep conversations kind and respectful towards everyone. We don't want our players logging into HorseCraft and being sad. Our server is a place for players to come to play to find happiness and friendship, not bullying and pain. Always treat everyone as you would want to be treated.

2. Be Kid-Friendly - Conversations and behavior must stay appropriate for ALL ages.  One of our driving forces for creating HorseCraft was because of so many Minecraft servers not using appropriate conversations for young listeners. We want our server to be a place for everyone.

3. No Advertising - This server is not the place to advertise Minecraft servers, discords, social medias, etc.. We do not want our server to become a giant spammy advertisement board. We also don't want our players joining something that was advertised that turns out not to be safe! Be safe online always!

4. No Hacking or Cheating - x-ray, flys, jumps, auto farms, mob grinders, xp farms, afk pools, or any way to cheat the system is not allowed. We don't allow any type of cheating or hacking because it ruins the game for everyone involved. It ruins the chance for someone who isn't cheating to find diamonds, biomes, and literally anything in the world. It's just not fair plain and simple. A more in-depth explanation of why you can't use auto mob farms and AFK pools is below in the FAQ. 

5. No Politics - No political or religious topics. HorseCraft is not the place to discuss these complex subjects.

6. Have Fun - Enjoy your time on the server and have a great time with your friends! The most important rule to remember in HorseCraft is to have fun. HorseCraft is a place you should always have a good time at so it's important we keep that our number 1 priority.

Is Keep Inventory on in HorseCraft? No. We are a survival server and love the idea of building a strategy around staying alive and protecting your items. We think keeping keep inventory off makes the game more fun and exciting. We love a good challenge! Always protect your items by putting them in a claimed chest and creating sethomes to teleport to when you're in danger.

I died can I get my stuff back? No we are a survival server. Sometimes in our game you may find yourself frustrated because you die and lose items. That is our style of game. We please ask that you build strategies to learn how to avoid death and losing your items. Best practices include creating sethomes when in danger, teleporting when in danger, and keeping as many valuable items in a chest as all times. Any time you are not paying attention or are being distracted you should log out of HorseCraft to avoid an unnecessary death. We understand sometimes situations occur and so we encourage our VIPS/MVPS to reach out to us via our @HorseCraftStaff in the VIP/MVP discord if they feel they wrongfully lost items due to technical errors in the system.

How do I teleport with my horse? Sit on your horse and teleport as normal. Do not teleport horses into structures because they could suffocate and die. Always teleport a horse to and from an open area with no walls or blocks surrounding them. A great example of a place to teleport a horse to is a grassy area 5+ blocks away from all buildings. For more information click here.

How do I set my home? /sethome is used to teleport. Non-VIP/MVP players get 10.  To create a sethome you do /sethome name. To teleport to the sethome you type in /home name. To see your list of homes do /homes. For more information click here. 

Why do my animals keep dying? To regulate auto farms, keep animal activists happy, and discourage too many entities on the server we have introduced animal illness AKA Animal Plague. Animals in our server get sick if you have 15 animals in a small space. The illness is very contagious and will infect animals found inside a 20 x 20 x 20 cube of space. ALL ANIMALS are infected by the illness. There is no cure for plague. For a video tutorial please click here.

I don't have PayPal and want to buy something on HorseCraft what do I do? You can use PayPal Express Checkout with credit card and debit card payments.

Why can't I create an auto mob farm? You may have noticed that we have disabled redstone, hoppers, and a few other items used in the creation of auto farms. Auto farms are used to help a Minecraft player obtain an item or XP in a faster rate than they normally would by fighting mobs in the wild. It is a machine that is created to make it easier to farm items. Unfortunately we learned in our 1st server that when players are allowed to create auto mob farms it creates a large amount of stress and constant lag on our server.  The constant lagging and demand auto farms create create lag for all the players playing on the server thus ruining the entire experience.

Why can't I use redstone in HorseCraft? Redstone is an incredible tool used in Minecraft to create working machines. Redstone is incredibly demanding on a server and requires a lot of memory and power. Because we are a public server with many players we cannot allow for everyone to create redstone machines because it will constantly lag everyone playing. You can exchange redstone for gold at the gold exchange. If you've created a powered rail you can exchange it at the server features house at spawn. 

Why can't I use an AFK Pool? AFK pools are made by players so that their Minecraft character does not log out of the game. AFK pools are not allowed due to a player exploiting the system to stay on while they are not playing which results in getting claim blocks that they are not technically earning.

Why are redstone items and hoppers disabled? These items are disabled because we do not want players creating auto farms and machines on the server. These machines create a large amount of power and memory which results in our entire server lagging for everyone playing. You may receive a refund for hoppers and powered rails from the shopkeeper at the servers features house at /spawn.
