Trainer's Manual

Here's a guide for everything you need to know about Aptrumi SMP.

Discord Rules

Be respectful towards members and staff.

This means that you treat others with kindness and empathy. Do not harass other players over their opinions or lifestyle.

If someone's opinion or action is harmful, report it to staff.

No excessive swearing or insults. Hate speech, encouraging self-harm, sexual comments, etc. are not allowed.

We understand sometimes a situation calls for a cuss, but using swears like punctuation will warrant action from staff. Playfully bickering with friends is fine, but if someone asks for the bickering to stop, respect their request and quit it. Anything beyond that will result in a ban.

Your nickname on the discord server must include your minecraft IGN and not be comprised of fancy symbols.

This is so that we can find members in case something happens in the minecraft server that requires contacting them. The no symbols aspect is so that staff can easily ping individuals if necessary. If your server nickname is not easily pingable due to fancy text, staff will change it to PINGABLE NAME.

No spamming.

Give everyone a chance to chat and don't clutter discussions with spam. If you need to share a novel's worth of emojis or the entire bee movie script, don't do so in channels meant for discussion.

No Raiding

Raiding will result in an immediate ban. Trolls will be dealt with in similar manner.

Owner has final say in arguments.

In case staff is undecided on a matter, the owner will make the final decision.

No alternate accounts.

This is to avoid ban evasion. In case of account loss, you can join on a new one and the old account will be kicked.

Members must be 18+ to join.

If you were at least 16+ prior to this rule's implementation, you will not be removed from the server.

Chat Guidelines

Failure to adhere to these will result in action from staff.

Staff

Special Ranks

Trophies

These are special roles acquired by attending or winning certain in-game events.


Game Rules

The discord rules and chat guidelines apply to the in-game chat.

Staff has access to all messages sent in game.

Avoid building/claiming in towns or too close to others without their permission first.

In case of abandoned builds/claims, check our policy regarding them.

Griefing and stealing are not allowed.

If you need resources from another player, you must get their permission to take them even if they are not claimed.

Hacking is not allowed.

For client-side quality of life mods, just check with staff first.

Using client-side mods to crack the world seed, x-ray, or otherwise give an unfair advantage is a bannable offense. This includes configuring Xaero's World Map to locate structures not noticable in natural gameplay.

Do not decimate public farms.

Replant crops, leave animal pairs, etc.

In case of accidental damage or overharvesting, depending on the situation, the player may only have to rebuild or resupply.

Avoid having laggy farms.

You must have either an off switch (toggleable redstone lamps) or isolated location for hostile mob producing farms.

Limit your passive mob farm output as these were a huge source of lag in the past.

No PVP without all parties involved agreeing to it.

Killing without consent is not allowed. Accidentally hitting someone is fine, but going out of your way to attack other players isn't.

Using glitches that give an unfair advantage are not allowed.

Item or block duplication fall under this rule.

F3 Pie Chart loot finding also falls under this rule.

On the inverse, reporting a glitch or bug to staff that they were not previously aware of will reward the player who reported it.

To reduce lag, pasture block usage is limited.

Only three pasture blocks may be used by a player at a time.

Pasture blocks must be a great distance from each other if housing more than four pokemon.

This rule is subject to change dependant on lag.

Minecraft Guides

Abandoned Claims

In case you come across a build in the way of things that appears abandoned, here is what to do.

Abandoned & Unclaimed: If the build has no sign of life/ownership and is being obstructive, place a sign with something like "Who are you? Contact [USERNAME] on Discord before [DATE]." on a door/chest/thing of note. The date should be at least a week from the sign placement. If no one reaches out, tear it down, BUT DON'T STEAL THE BLOCKS/ITEMS. Instead put a chest somewhere in the vicinity with the resources and a sign with something like "abandoned build please relocate" on it.

Abandoned & Claimed: Reach out to the claim owner. You can check this by opening the FTB map and hovering over the claim. This is why your Minecraft IGN needs to be in your nickname on the Discord. If they don't respond after a week, reach out to staff to delete the claim. Like with unclaimed abandoned builds, it is good etiquette to put the resources there aside in case the original owner comes back later.

Player on Hiatus: People's lives get busy, sometimes too busy to play on the server. In these cases, staff can set their claims as Legacies. This means the structure will be safe until the player can return, but their friends can access it.

Empty, Abandoned, & Claimed: If nothing is in an area for a prolonged period (over a week) and yet it is claimed in a way that obstructs you, reach out to staff to handle the situation.

Claiming Land

How to Claim: When you open your map by pressing N by default, you can right click chunks in your vicinity to claim or unclaim them. To configure your claim options, ' is the default keybind for opening those up.

Xaero's Radar Fix

If your Xaero's Minimap and World Map mods don't show vanilla mobs, follow these steps:

  1. Press Y to open your map settings.
  2. Select Entity Radar Settings.
  3. Select Entity Category Settings.
  4. Click Reset Defaults.

Joining a Town/City

Most towns and cities are open for newcomers, however you must always check to see if this is the case. A quick way of checking is reading through the town listings and see what requirements they have or reaching out to the mayors of the town in question.
