The Server Rules and Guidelines is the document that server staff use to punish players. All players must follow these rules.
This document is more detailed than a usual set of rules, and is intended mostly for staff, experienced players, and anyone with a significant interest. For a more digestible set of rules, visit Rules, or join the Discord Server and select #rules.
If you would like to report any player for breaking the Server Rules and Guidelines, then use the /report command in-game or create a ticket in the Discord Server.
RULE 1: CHEATING IS UNACCEPTABLE
Cheating is defined as creating an unfair advantage over any other player in the server in a way that the gamemode does not intend. Cheating in any way, shape, or form is prohibited.
The most common way of cheating in Minecraft is by using hacks, often through a hacked client. There are a number of different types of hacks. Some of the most popular are as follows: - Reach - Aim-Assist - Autoclicker - Killaura - Bhopping, or Speed - Fly - Nametags - Autofish - Blink - Fake-Lag
The above is not in any way an exhaustive list of hacks, but provides a basic understanding of what may be considered one. Any module in a hacked client is most likely against the rules, unless specifically otherwise stated by server staff.
Harry's Network has an uncommon exception for the autoclicker hack, which is that players are allowed to use an external autoclicker with a CPS (clicks-per-second) of up to 14. Any higher is prohibited. Many hacked clients (or internal hacks) include other systems in their autoclickers which may be against the rules, so we highly recommend an external autoclicker if you choose to use one.
Using visual cheats to hack is punishable by a
There are also a number of other ways to cheat on the server. One common type is macros, which players use to make their character perform actions on the server without having to perform the task themselves. Like hacks, these types of cheats are forbidden on Harry's Network.
HOW BAN DURATIONS WORK
Ban durations are not selected by the staff issuing them - rather, they are calculated automatically based on the player's history with rule-breaking on the server. Harry's Network does not publish exactly how this calculation works, but a new player will always receive the lowest possible punishment if they are banned.
