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.

WHITEDOG is a special snow-covered world map. It is set to EXTRA HARD difficulty, with advanced physics: more aggressive gravity effects, acid rain and snow at random intervals, poisoned water, failing torches, more fires, bigger explosions, more aggressive and dangerous monsters, less powerful tools and weapons, and more difficult kills. He left some useful items for you, and a book describing optional quests. Look in the chest at the spawnpoint.

You will see white dogs, chickens, cows, horses, rabbits, and sheep, and sometimes black-and-white horses and rabbits.

Access is by invitation only. Ask an admin for an invitation, when you have acquired 25000 bonus points.

Interworld navigation

Most of our worlds feature black dogs, like those in the lobby. But WHITEDOG and YELLOWDOG have different dogs and rabbits (guess the colors). Moving between these worlds requires loading new skins. Unfortunately, Minecraft reloads the entire default resourcepack, even if only one skin needs to change. So moving between worlds with different dogs takes a few extra seconds. Please be patient.

Protected zones

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. The safe zone is surrounded by a larger buffer zone. Players cannot build in the buffer zone, but mobs can spawn and attack there. Outside the buffer zone is wilderness. Pretty much anything goes out there.

Home

Outside the protected zones, you can make a land claim anywhere you like as your home. Use the claim-marker tool to define your claim. Use the navigation menu red bed to mark your home, and the ice-blue bed to return to it.

Hunger and hydration

As in any survival environment, you will become hungry and thirsty as you expend energy. Running and fighting increase the level of energy expenditure. Eat occasionally to maintain health. Hydration (thirst) is displayed in the tablist; 100 is full hydration. Drink water, or wade in water when you get thirsty.

Special features

There are a few pre-built special features in WHITEDOG.

Explore the large cavern system north of the spawn area. Among other things, it leads to a huge waterfall. Take a torch.
Find polar bears.
Find rambeau's home. Try to get inside.
Unlike most worlds, there is only one End portal in WHITEDOG (although you could build another, with time and patience).
