The rules

🌍 General all servers

1. No cheating. No hacked clients, x-ray (mods, texture packs or resource packs), auto-clickers, macros or anything else that gives you an unfair edge. Performance mods (Sodium, Iris, Lunar, OptiFine) are fine. Minimaps are fine; entity or cave radar is not.
2. No exploiting. Found a bug or dupe? Report it on Discord instead of using it. Using it gets you banned; reporting it gets you a thank-you.
3. No real-money trading. Don't sell or buy in-game items, money, shards, spawners or accounts for real money or anything outside TandemMC.
4. One player, one account for the economy. Alts are allowed, but not to farm shards, money or votes.
5. Respect everyone. No harassment, threats, hate speech or discrimination, in game or on Discord.
6. Don't pretend to be staff or someone you're not.
7. No advertising other servers, Discords or services.

💬 Chat

1. Public chat is English. Duo chat (/dc) and private messages can be in any language.
2. No spam, flooding, CAPS LOCK walls or chain-messages.
3. Keep it PG-13: no NSFW content, slurs or extreme topics.
4. Never share anyone's personal information (doxxing = permanent ban).
5. Trash talk is part of PvP. Personal attacks are not.

⚔️ SMP

1. PvP is on everywhere and there are no claims. Raiding and griefing other players' bases is allowed: hide your base well.
2. No combat logging. Logging out while in combat kills you automatically.
3. New players have 10 minutes of protection. Don't try to get around it.
4. No lag machines and no huge redstone or entity contraptions built to slow the server down.
5. Trading between players is at your own risk. Use /orders and /ah to trade safely.
6. Duos are max 2 players. Allying with other duos is allowed.

🏝️ Skyblock

1. Only invite people you trust to your island. Island members can't be punished for using permissions you gave them.
2. No lag machines or farms that go over the entity limits.
3. Don't abuse generator, mission or island-value bugs. Report them instead.

🛒 Store

1. Ranks are cosmetic and comfort only. They never give an advantage in fights or the economy.
2. All purchases are final. Contact us on Discord if something went wrong.
3. A chargeback or payment dispute means a permanent ban of the account.
4. Breaking the rules can cost you your rank, without a refund.

🔨 Punishments

Depending on how serious it is and whether it happened before, staff can give:

Cheating, real-money trading, doxxing and chargebacks can go straight to a permanent ban. Think a punishment was wrong? Open an appeal ticket on Discord.
