Stealing and PvP

NostalgiaCraft is not a PvP server, nor is it a raiding-centered server, but because our objective is to offer simple vanilla gameplay, we do not have any claiming system.

As a result, stealing and PvP are allowed in the wilderness (but not in the graylist zone). Stealing and PvP have certain restrictions to ensure a fun and friendly playing environment.

You are not allowed to have minimap mods installed while searching for or raiding a base. Additionally, bases found with minimap mods installed are not allowed to be raided.

Securing Your Base

We recommend using the Nether roof to travel further in order to build your final base. Using the Nether roof is both simple and effective. Simply follow the steps below:

1. Obtain 10 obsidian, flint and steel
2. Access the nether roof (nether hub has a stairway)
3. Travel to desired overworld coordinates (recommended 10,000+ blocks away from spawn)
4. Build a nether portal and enter nether portal to Overworld
5. Set a home with /sethome in the Overworld
6. Re-enter nether portal, destroy the portal on the nether side
7. Teleport to Overworld side using /home

Other Helpful Tips

• Do not build your base in the /wild range (within 7k blocks of spawn)
• Don’t build your base at obvious coordinates or on an axis (for example 10k, 10k)
• Don’t build your base exactly at the world border
• Remove your nether portal on the nether side (set a home in the overworld and remove the portal then do /home)
• Don’t build a gold farm or any nether project at your base’s nether coordinates
• Put valuables in a enderchest, some are at spawn (enderchests have 27 slots, if you use shulkers for all 27 slots, you can store 27 x 27 = 729 slots of items)

Graylist Zones

Graylist zones are community areas where PvP/stealing is not allowed. Please see this article for more information.
Using deception to lure, or pushing a player out of a graylist zone and killing them is not permitted.

Raiding Guidelines

You are allowed to raid all items in chests, barrels, and any other container except for lecterns and chiseled bookshelves. If an item appears to be a part of a redstone contraption, we recommend not touching or stealing it, as you will be held liable for griefing any redstone breakage that results from your actions.

Raidable Blocks

Additionally, the following valuable blocks are able to be mined or taken from item frames, armor stands, and signs as well, without being considered griefing, shown below:

Armor Stands, Item Frames, Shelves, and Signs

Item frames, armor stands, shelves, and signs cannot be stolen from if they are for decoration or used to display a non-valuable item. You are able to steal any of the blocks (and their derivatives, such as diamonds, netherite scrap, etc.) listed above or any item in the list below from armor stands, item frames, and signs:

Maps, map art, and other special/colored items not covered in the images above are not allowed to be stolen.

1.21.4 Note: Bundles added to the item-frame/shelf raidable list, the bundle and contents are able to be stolen.

Lecterns and Chiseled Bookshelves

Lecterns and chiseled bookshelves may not be stolen from.

Entities and Pets

Killing/stealing villagers and pets that someone else owns is considered griefing and will be met with a ban. All killed/stolen villagers and named pets will be rolled back in the event of a raid. If a pet was not named, staff will not be able to guarantee it can be properly rolled back. Even if an entity/pet/animal was not named, killing/stealing it is still against the rules.

Using Blacklisted Mods/Features

Please review our wiki page regarding using blacklisted mods/features to search for bases or to raid here. Violation of these fair play rules may constitute a rollback of the raided base and a permanent ban.

Griefing vs Raiding

Griefing, in short, is the destruction of a player’s build.

Raiding is the act of stealing items from a player that are located within a storage medium (such as a chest, furnace, item frame, shulker, bundle, etc.)

All grief and build destruction incidents must be reported within 90 days. We will not be able to restore any griefs that occur after this period.

Leaking Coordinates

Don’t leak or share coordinates in the wilderness; it may be against the rules! You may raid with your current base members, but you may not share coordinates that you know with other people that are not a part of your base at the time of finding such coordinates.

Leaking/selling base, farm, or player coordinates will result in a ban. This includes privately leaking/selling coordinates. After obtaining coordinates, you may not spread them. A “raiding party” are people whom are, or can be verified as current base members, which is defined by past and current activity at your current base. “Past activity” depends on user involvement at the base, and time they have been active at the base, therefore being at staff discretion. You may share coordinates with your current raiding party.

Example: If Player 1 finds a base and is not associated with other players at the time of them obtaining coordinates of said base, they are not allowed to invite others to the raid or share the coordinates. If Player 2 finds a base and is already in an established base with other players, those players in the established base may raid or share coordinates among themselves.

If your coordinates have been leaked, and you do not report it to a staff member, we cannot help you because we aren’t aware about it. All matters relating to raids are subject to staff discretion and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The staff team has final say on all matters relating to the interpretation of these rules.
