The Hardcore Minecraft Network Code of Conduct, with a checklist, Enderman, and shield-bearing player.

The Hardcore Network / Server standards

Respect the
hardcore world.

Hardcore means consequences inside the game. It never excuses abuse outside it. These shared standards help keep the world fair and the community welcoming.

THE HARDCORE MINECRAFT NETWORK
SERVER CODE OF CONDUCT

Welcome to a vanilla-first hardcore world where choices have lasting consequences. These rules apply in-game and in official Network spaces used to play, report, or organize server activity.

1. RESPECT EVERY PLAYER

No hate speech, slurs, targeted harassment, bullying, threats, sexual harassment or solicitation, or sharing another person’s private information. Keep chat and player-created content—including names, skins, signs, and books—welcoming and suitable for a mixed-age community.

2. PLAY FAIR

Do not use hacked clients, cheats, x-ray, combat automation, bots, dupes, or unauthorized tools that grant an unfair advantage. Do not exploit bugs, bypass claims or protections, or interfere with server systems. Normal vanilla mechanics, farms, redstone, PvP, and in-game rivalry are part of survival unless staff announces a specific restriction.

3. REPORT BUGS AND EXPLOITS SAFELY

Do not use a bug to gain items, currency, access, or an advantage, or to harm another player. Stop testing once you can describe the issue, keep exploit details private, and report it at https://hardcoreminecraft.net/report. Include steps and evidence when safe.

4. USE NETWORK SYSTEMS HONESTLY

Do not exploit bugs or bypass the published rules of shops, transfers, contracts, claims, account linking, or payment systems. Do not impersonate staff, evade a staff action with another account, spam, or deliberately cause lag or disruption. Never share passwords, verification codes, or private account data.

5. REPORT RESPONSIBLY

Use https://hardcoreminecraft.net/report for bugs, exploits, or player concerns. Include accurate details and evidence when possible. Do not knowingly submit false reports, spam reports, or use reporting to retaliate. For immediate safety concerns or active server disruption, contact available staff directly.

6. FOLLOW STAFF DIRECTIONS

Staff may review context and evidence and act to protect players and the server. Depending on severity, impact, and history, action may include content removal, a warning, chat restriction, rollback, temporary suspension, or permanent ban. Serious harm may require immediate action. If you disagree with a decision, contact staff calmly through official Network channels.

By connecting to the server, you agree to follow this Code of Conduct and applicable Minecraft Community Standards.
