Village Valley is a brand new SMP server with a focus on community. Thus, the server follows a towny-like play style. The villages are going to be created by players themselves, they will have their own theme, palette, and rules. The server will mainly focus on villages, you do not have to join one, but it is highly recommended to get the full benefits. Our main goal is to provide a safe, fun and chill environment where everyone feels welcomed, so we have a 1 strike and you’re out set of rules to make sure everyone feels that way at all times. One key thing to consider before joining is that we uphold a fair trade system focused on the towns. Due to past experiences in other SMPs we want to avoid one person having control of the economy, so if your goal is to become the richest on the server, then this isn’t the right place for you. This is for people to come together and cooperate with each other and ultimately just have a good time. (Application at bottom of post)

The server is coming up on a week old so everyone is still roughly on the same page, you won’t feel that far behind if that’s a concern.

⋆ ✿ ~ Server Rules ~ ✿ ⋆

【 ‹ Treat others with respect › 】
Good-natured jokes can be made; we’re here to have fun. However, toxic behavior and/or trolling with the intent of provoking someone to get a response is not allowed. Just don’t be a dick 🙂

【 ‹ Server is 18+ › 】
You must be 18 years or older to play on this server. If it is found out that you have lied on your application and broken this rule, you will be removed from the community.

【 ‹ Offensive content is not tolerated › 】
Some swearing is allowed, but severe or targeted vulgarity is not. As well as slurs, racism, hate speech and bigotry in general is not tolerated whatsoever. Offensive item and/or entity names, skins, builds, or usernames are also not allowed.

【 ‹ Cheating, hacking, and exploits are not tolerated › 】
Cheating of any form is not tolerated. Clients such as optifine or badlion are allowed, but any others check with staff first. Hacked clients of any type are not tolerated. (Few exploits like breaking bedrock are allowed, check with staff)

【 ‹ Griefing and thievery is not tolerated › 】
Stealing other players’ items without permission as well as griefing other player’s builds is behavior that is not allowed.

【 ‹ PVP requires consent from all parties involved › 】
RDMing players, or killing players without permission is not allowed. (special rules apply in Abandoned Territories, see Village Rules for more details)

【 ‹ No Spamming › 】
Filling chat either in game or on discord with an unnecessary amount of characters or messages is not helping anyone, so don’t do it.

【 ‹ No Politics › 】
Please avoid any discussion about politics in public chats.

【‹ Don’t advertise › 】
Promoting things like your personal stream is alright, however promoting other servers and things of that nature are not allowed.

【 ‹ Do not disclose personal information about other players › 】
Doxxing anyone is not cool and will result in punishment.

【 ‹ Don’t intentionally lag the server or make big lag-heavy farms › 】
This helps no one and only damages the server as a whole. As little entity cramming as you can 🙂

⋆ ⚔ ~ Village System Rules ~ ⚔

⋆Village Valley was created with a focus on community, and so it follows a towny-server play style. Here

There are five status levels that a territory can gain:
【 ‹ Settlement ~ 1-4 citizens › 】
The smallest territory; no perks or titles attached. These count as either starter bases or the beginnings of players who hope to gain Village status.

【 ‹ Village ~ 5 (active) citizens › 】
With 5 citizens a settlement can be recognized as a Village. When a set of Village rules and description are created and posted, the citizens involved gain a prefix, a discord role and text channel, as well as a marker on the Dynmap. Also with village status, the village leader(s) gain access to a discord channel with other village leaders to spill the tea.

【 ‹ Town ~ 10 citizens › 】
When a village reaches 10 citizens, it gains the Town status. With this upgrade the town leader(s) also gain access to a special town leaders specific discord channel where they can strictly talk business.

【 ‹ Kingdom ~ 15 citizens › 】
After gaining Town status, the next tier that players can aim for is Kingdom status with a whopping minimum of 15 citizens. With this new status, players can flex beyond their wildest dreams and sit back and look how far they’ve come.

【 ‹ Abandoned Territory ~ no citizens › 】
When a village/town/kingdom’s citizens become inactive the territory will be declared as an Abandoned Territory and turned into a no man’s land so to speak. (See Abandoned Territory Rules for more details)

✰ Each village is encouraged to have their own set of rules and methods of government. However, only rules 5 and 6 are allowed to be altered in respectful property. All other server rules still apply no matter where you go.
✰ Each village must be based around a central theme, palette, or concept
✰ Villages can’t repeat themes/build-styles already being used by previously established villages
✰ Unless stated otherwise, the village leader(s) must approve of a citizen before they join said village
✰ A new village has to be at least 500 blocks away from other villages

DISCORD: (Please have open DMs/Requests so I’m able to contact you the link!!!)

We will be using this APPLICATION to accept players. The application contains our server rules and questions to get to know you a little better. Once your application is accepted you will have full access to the discord where you will find everyone to be hanging out at.
