What this FAQ covers
This FAQ is for anyone who is deciding whether to join Beauty in Blocks or needs help getting settled once they arrive. It covers the practical details players usually need first, especially for Java and Bedrock setup.
If you are looking for server basics, start here before moving on to the rules, voting page, or map. The answers below also cover the current voting rewards and Discord-linked progression so new players can understand the perk system without hunting through old posts.
Can someone completely destroy my base while I am offline?
Yes. Outside published protected areas, offline raids and complete destruction of player construction are allowed when the methods follow the landscape and other rules. Being new, solo, offline, a supporter, or an owner does not protect a base. A raid needs no resource motive, profit, consent, or war declaration.
Do I need a clan or a land claim?
There are no player land claims. Clans are optional alliances, not base protection or owner-enforced contracts. Players are responsible for shared supplies, valuables, and in-game agreements.
Will owners rebuild my base or return stolen items?
There is no restoration or repayment for permitted gameplay. Confirmed prohibited activity or technical failures may qualify for recovery where feasible, but recovery is never guaranteed. A violation during a raid does not invalidate every otherwise permitted action.
Can I use the public map to find bases?
Yes. Public map scouting is allowed within the rules. Rendered builds can expose bases. We do not promise that bases are hidden or that public live player-coordinate feeds are disabled.
Are repeated raids, swearing, or criticism automatically harassment?
No. Ordinary rivalry, repeated raids, swearing, criticism, and game-related trash talk are not automatically violations. Separately evidenced threats, doxxing, hateful abuse, sexual harassment, spam, personal harassment, and block evasion remain prohibited. Blocking communication does not grant gameplay immunity.
How do I submit a private report or appeal?
Check private reporting availability. Sensitive website submissions are currently disabled while a restricted route is verified; do not put sensitive evidence into the general feedback form or a public host. Prepare a short description, involved usernames or IDs, approximate time and timezone, location when relevant, available evidence or message references, and one contact identifier. Safety concerns need no rule number, location, version details, or perfect evidence. One appeal per decision may identify a factual mistake, relevant new evidence, or a misapplied rule. Add genuinely new information to the same case when the private route is available.
How long do reports, bugs, and appeals take?
Exactly two owners run this hobby server around jobs, responsibilities, other hobbies, and life outside Minecraft. Review or resolution may take days or weeks, sometimes longer. There is no guaranteed response time, investigation, fix, rollback, or outcome. Being online, chatting, or playing does not mean an owner is on support duty. Duplicate reports, owner pings, and public pressure do not speed up review.
Do supporters get faster moderation or protection?
No. Purchases do not buy immunity, land protection, moderation priority, guaranteed response times, or restoration of permitted losses. The same rules and combat restrictions actually in force apply to every role.
What about teleport traps and combat disconnects?
Traps outside protected areas fall under the ordinary trap rule. Accepting a teleport request is a trust decision; it does not authorize bypassing combat restrictions. This website does not establish a new combat timer or disconnect penalty. Owners do not decide whether a disconnect was an intentional exit or a crash. The published teleport delay and damage cancellation mean /spawn is not a guaranteed escape from repeated deaths.
