Season rules
As opposed the Canary server, PVP is quite common in the season server, however the City area is also PVP free.
Within this city realm only plot owners can build or even interact on their plot. To accomplish tasks every player will need to use the central Nether Portal to venture out into the overworld.
This will Teleport you to other outer realms where the regular Minecraft rules apply.
- The overworld is reset every day to ensure that there are plenty of resources available.
- Central spawn will teleport you to a different location after each reset!
In the outer realms you can interact and PVP 🥊 to develop your skills.
If you stay above ground, the first thing should do is build a shelter for the night.
However please be ware, there is no plot protection and you may get looted so always hide the important resources.

To ensure fairness to all players, the following rules also apply in the season server:
- Only HeaX and Uncle Fester have admin powers.

Gulag Vote
In seasonal, people who misbehave can be voted into the gulag by moonsama holders, placing a permanent bounty on them until they improve their behaviour and are voted out of the gulag.
Simply type /vote and auto complete will suggest available topics to vote on, in this case throwing someone into the gulag or freeing them from it. After you initiate a vote, other people who are eligible to participate can cast their vote , if at least 15 Moonsama agree, the vote will pass.
You can have multiple moonsama bridged to increase your voting power, each giving you one extra vote. Neon count as 10, each player is capped at 10 voting power.
