The BlackDog Rules

Have fun

Please enjoy your time here.

Behave respectfully

Exercise common courtesy. Among other things, that means no trolls.
No griefing, directly or indirectly. Unless you have permission from the owner of a player-constructed game feature, leave it alone.

Behave ethically

Exercise your own skills, not hacks. Exploits are unethical, and will lead to sanctions. Examples include:
- client-side farming or mining machines
- flight and speed boosters
- gamma/brightness boosters, night vision
- radar, x-ray, or other ore finders
Non-AFK farming and mining machines, built in-game, are encouraged. Show your creativity. However, any machine that creates excessive lag will be removed.
We use software to detect and block exploits, but in the end it's really up to you to do the right thing.
We encourage you to report suspected exploits. We will investigate and take appropriate action.

Exercise common sense

If you think anything you're about to do might be against the rules, don't do it.
If you think we would consider it wrong, don't do it.
If you're not sure, ask an admin or op.

Help

Ask questions in chat. Admin and ops and other players will answer as they can.
Use the /ticket system in-game to report issues or bugs, or ask questions. Staff will respond to open tickets as quickly as possible.

BlackDog respects your privacy. Our own software captures no personally-identifying information about our players. Having said that, the Minecraft server logs contain player IP addresses which are linked to player userids. The logs also contain operational information that is useful to us for game-play issue resolution and debugging. These data are accessible only to our computer operations staff. The data are not accessible to other players or to in-game admins or ops.

Server logs are deleted on a rotating basis, after seven days. So IP data in server logs are retained for no more than seven days.

The logs are also included in server backups. Server backups are deleted on a rotating basis, after two days. So IP data in server logs contained in backups are retained for no more than two additional days, for a total of nine days.

THE PLAYGROUND is an EASY CREATIVE world. You can build pretty much whatever you want, pretty much anywhere you want. Just respect other's property [Rule 1].

Safe zone and buffer zone

The spawn area is a small safe zone. Players cannot build in the safe zone, and hostile mobs cannot spawn there. The dogs will take care of hostile mobs that wander in. There are flat building sites north of the spawn area.

Mobs

The day/night cycle is disabled in THE PLAYGROUND. Friendly (passive) mobs spawn everywhere except the spawn area, so you will see animals of all types everywhere else. Since it is never night, hostile monsters will not spawn in most places above ground. If you really want them, go underground; they are easy to find. But in CREATIVE mode, hostile monsters cannot harm you.

Building

In CREATIVE mode, you can obtain infinite building materials from the item selection screen. That gives you freedom to create anything you like, without the pressure of mining for materials.

There are flat building sites north of the spawn area. These sites are protected; ask an ADMIN or OP for permission to build there. Select an unused site, and build something fantastic, or just experiment with designs for your SURVIVAL mode homes. Of course, you can also fly into the wilderness and find your own building site, but it will not be protected.

Your home

You can mark anywhere you like as your home. Use the navigation menu red bed to mark you home, and the blue bed to return to it.

Special features

There are a few pre-built special features in THE PLAYGROUND. It's up to you to find them.

Visit the Aquarium. You can see the fish (Guardians) swim around and zap the squid. The Aquarium is protected.
Visit the Ark. Noah's family is on board, and there is a two-by-two selection of animals. Also monsters, on the lower deck. The Ark is protected.
Explore the TRex skeletons. One of them is protected, but you can dig around the other one.
Sic the dogs on an Enderman.
