Rules & Guidelines
Introduction
We aim to provide all players with the best experience on the network by providing them with a safe, fair and friendly playing environment. In order to achieve this, we enforce a set of rules which all players must follow. By logging on to the Fusion Network Minecraft server or by making use of the Fusion Network Discord and forums, you agree to follow all rules listed here. Lack of knowledge about the rules will be treated as ignorance and a mistake on your part and you will not be exempted from the consequences of breaking them.
We encourage all players to read this page in full, including the Disallowed Behaviour section and clicking on each rule to view its full explanation.
Expected Behaviour
1) Behave Appropriately
Our platforms should be a friendly environment where all players can be addressed or spoken to in a respectful manner.
Why do we have this rule?
We believe all Fusion Network platforms (Minecraft server, Discord server and the forums) should be a friendly and welcoming environment where players can freely communicate and express themselves. We encourage everyone to cooperate and compete in a positive environment, but never in a way that disrespects or causes discomfort for other players.
In short: treat others the way you would like to be treated.
What do we mean by behaving appropriately?
- Advertising social media or Minecraft servers
- Sending forbidden links
- Using swear words in the chat
- Repeating the same message multiple times
- Pretending to be a staff member
- Being rude towards others
A full list of disallowed behaviour can be found below in the Disallowed Behaviour section.
Does profanity fall under this rule?
Yes, it does. Using bad language is not allowed on Fusion Network, even if it is not directed towards a player.
Does this rule only cover chat messages?
No, it covers all forms of communication and player activity. Inappropriate structures, skins, capes, names and similar are all forbidden.
2) No Unfair Advantages
All players have the right to play in a fair and clean environment.
Why do we have this rule?
We want to keep our gameplay on an even playing field for everyone, so we do not allow any modifications which provide an unfair advantage over the default Minecraft launcher.
Other unfair advantages are also forbidden.
What is an unfair advantage?
- Abusing bugs for personal benefit
- Cross teaming
- Doing (or attempting to do) trades involving Minecraft accounts, real money or other goods/services unrelated to Fusion Network
- Evading punishments
- Owning illegal items
- Stat boosting
- Team griefing
- Teaming with cheaters
- Using auto-clickers or macros
- Using illegal trapping methods
- Using unapproved modifications
A full list of disallowed behaviour can be found below in the Disallowed Behaviour section.
How do I know if a modification is allowed or not?
A full list and explanation of officially allowed modifications can be found HERE. Anything not explicitly listed as allowed in that thread is considered 'use at your own risk' and we do not recommend using it.
What type of trading is disallowed?
Trading Minecraft accounts, items/currencies/other goods on other platforms/Minecraft servers and anything involving real money or goods is against our rules. Trades may only involve Fusion Network ranks, items and currencies.
Doing trades which involve the gold currency of Fusion Network or items from our official store is allowed provided that no accounts, items/currencies/other goods on other platforms/Minecraft servers or real money/goods are involved.
What is punishment evasion?
Punishment evasion refers to playing or using the chat on an alternative account while another account of you is IP-banned or IP-muted. Doing so is disallowed.
3) English Only
All players must only speak English in the public chat. Using other languages is forbidden.
Why do we have this rule?
We want all players to be able to freely communicate with each other. This is not possible if they are speaking different languages.
In addition, it is not possible for our staff members to moderate the chat if they cannot understand what is being said, so we expect everyone to speak English.
Does this rule apply to all chats and platforms?
No, this rule only applies to the public chat on our Minecraft server (including spectator and game chats). Using foreign languages is allowed on Discord and the forums.
What is considered a private chat?
In the context of this rule, private messages (/msg and /fmsg) and group chats (party chats, guild chats and similar) are considered private chats. This means using non-English languages is allowed in them.

Account Sharing
Players are strictly prohibited from sharing their account. Several of our punishments are based on account usage; therefore, sharing accounts may result in unfair punishments. Your account is your own responsibility.
High CPS Clicking Methods
We do not allow dedicated high CPS clicking methods. Using any device or modification that artificially boosts clicking speed may result in a punishment, so we strongly advise against it.
Non-OP Gameplay
Playing on non-OP game modes, kits and similar must remain fair and enjoyable for everyone. Any attempts to gain an unfair advantage are strictly prohibited.
VPN Usage
While VPNs are not disallowed, we strongly discourage players from using a VPN to avoid punishments or hide their identity. Abusing VPNs may cause your IP to be blocked and your account to receive additional sanctions.
