How to Report Players & Report Abuse Penalties

How to Report a Player

If you see someone breaking the rules or making the server worse for others, you can report them directly in-game.

The /report Command

Use the following format in chat:

/report [PlayerName] [Reason]

Example:

/report Steve123 Using fly hacks in PvP

A moderator will review your report and get back to you as soon as possible.

Valid Reasons to Report

Hacking / Cheating

Fly, speed, kill aura, x-ray, or any unauthorized client modifications
Using glitches to duplicate items or bypass protections

Slurs, Hate Speech, & Harassment

Racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic language
Targeted harassment, doxxing threats, or persistent bullying
Sending slurs in chat, signs, books, or renamed items

Inappropriate Builds (NSFW)

Building genitalia, hate symbols, or sexually explicit structures
Sign spam with offensive or NSFW content
If you are unsure whether something crosses the line, report it and let staff decide

Scamming & Exploits

Failing to hold up your end of a trade after receiving payment
Abusing plugin bugs for personal gain
Luring players into traps in non-PvP zones

Griefing (Outside Wildcard Zones)

Destroying or modifying builds in the Overworld without permission
Stealing from chests in protected areas
Note: The End and Nether are wildcard zones — PvP and theft are allowed there

Tips for a Good Report

Be specific — "flying" is better than "hacking"
Include context — mention where it happened and when
Stay calm — write the facts, not an essay about how mad you are
Do not spam reports — one report is enough; moderators see them all

What Happens Next

A moderator will investigate as soon as they are available
You may be contacted for more details if needed
Outcomes range from a warning to a temporary or permanent ban, depending on severity and history
False reports can result in punishment, so make sure your report is honest

Report System Abuse & Penalties

If you abuse the /report system, there are consequences. This section outlines what counts as report abuse and what punishments you can expect.

What Counts as Report Abuse

False reports — filing a report against someone who did nothing wrong to get them in trouble
Spam reports — repeatedly reporting the same player for the same issue after it has been resolved
Revenge reports — reporting someone out of spite because you lost a fight, got arrested, or had a personal disagreement
Joke reports — using /report as a prank or meme
No evidence reports — making serious claims (hacking, exploits, etc.) with no proof and refusing to provide context when asked
Report bombing — coordinating with others to mass-report a single player to trigger an automatic ban or investigation

Punishment Scale

Abuse of the report system wastes staff time and undermines trust. Penalties escalate based on severity and history:

Offense	Penalty
First offense (minor)	Verbal warning from staff
First offense (serious false claim)	24-hour mute or temporary suspension from /report
Repeat offender	7-day suspension from /report
Chronic abuse or report bombing	30-day ban from the server
Extreme cases (harassment campaigns, framing players)	Permanent ban

Additional Consequences

Reports from repeat abusers may be ignored or deprioritized, meaning real issues you file later might not get reviewed quickly
If your false report caused a wrongful punishment for another player, staff may reverse your own ban/mute history as compensation
Report abuse may be noted in your player record and considered during ban appeals

What Is NOT Abuse

Reporting someone and being wrong (in good faith) — mistakes happen, just be honest
Following up on an old report if new evidence comes up
Reporting staff if you genuinely believe they are breaking rules — staff are held to the same standard as players

Appeal a Report Abuse Penalty

If you believe you were wrongly punished for report abuse, you can appeal through the standard Ban Appeals process. Explain your side and provide any relevant screenshots or context.

Play fair. Reports exist to keep the server safe — not to settle personal scores.
