Vanilla Minecraft Servers - Terms of Service (ToS) - Server Submission Guidelines
We, at Vanilla Minecraft Servers, appreciate your interest in submitting your Minecraft server to our platform. In order to maintain the exacting standards of excellence that define our server listing, we have meticulously outlined the following submission criteria. We hereby caution that non-compliance with these criteria may culminate in the disallowance of your server submission.
Furthermore, it is imperative to acknowledge that this page, in its current incarnation, remains an evolving and dynamic document. As such, it is susceptible to enhancements, modifications, the incorporation of novel rules, and the refinement of definitions. In light of this ongoing development, we earnestly beseech all prospective server submitters to exercise judicious discernment and the employment of common sense when ascertaining the suitability of their server for submission. Our overarching objective is to perpetually elevate the quality of the Minecraft server community, and we rely upon the collective sagacity of our submitters to aid us in this noble endeavor.
Your understanding and cooperation in these matters are paramount, and we welcome any inquiries or concerns that may arise in the course of this collaborative undertaking. Our dedicated support cadre is readily available to provide guidance and clarification as required.
- Gameplay Fidelity - Vanilla and Semi-Vanilla Servers:
a. Vanilla Minecraft Servers: Servers of this category are required to proffer a Minecraft experience that is unadulterated and authentic. This entails a strict adherence to the unmodified, pristine version of the game, bereft of substantive gameplay modifications.
b. Semi-Vanilla Minecraft Servers: Within this classification, servers are permitted to employ certain modifications; however, such modifications must not unduly distort the original gameplay experience as envisaged by the creators of Minecraft.
c. For illustrative purposes, we submit that inadequately implemented attributes, such as excessive teleportation mechanics that disrupt the vanilla Minecraft experience, may lead to the potential rejection of a submission.
- Pay-to-Win Admonition:
a. We categorically eschew the endorsement of servers that engage in "pay-to-win" practices. This designation is ascribed to servers that furnish in-game advantages or privileges to players in exchange for pecuniary remuneration in the tangible world.
b. This encompasses the proffering of ranks, donation packages, or items that furnish disproportionate advantages to players who elect to partake in financial transactions.
- Single-gamemode Server Discernment:
a. Our aegis extends exclusively to servers that primarily provide a single gameplay mode, with Vanilla Survival being quintessential. This exclusivity is designed to promulgate an immersive, focused, and high-caliber experience for our discerning players.
b. Networks, herein denominated as "multi-gamemode servers" or "networks," entail a structural configuration wherein players are afforded the opportunity to traverse a central hub, menu or any other form of interaction with the game, from which they may selectively transition to various subsidiary servers or alternative gamemodes within the same server. Networks may be approved only if the main gamemode is Vanilla Survival, and all the others serve as a secondary, less important way of playing within the server.
These sagaciously constructed submission criteria serve as the keystone of our commitment to the exposition of superlative, authentic Vanilla and Semi-Vanilla Minecraft servers to our esteemed community. Non-conformity with these precepts carries the potential consequence of a rejection of the server submission.
We reserve the right to refuse a submission for any other reason if we believe this is fair and necessary. no reason must be given in the event of rejection of a submission. The same also applies in the event of termination of service: if we believe it is appropriate we reserve the right to interrupt our Minecraft server featuring service for any reason at any time without having to give prior notice.
We sincerely value your perspicacity and cooperation in upholding the eminent caliber of our server listing. Should you harbor inquiries or apprehensions, we beseech you to communicate them forthwith to our dedicated support cadre.
