Enforcement and Appeals

Depending on the severity of a violation, staff may apply any of the following: a warning in chat, a temporary mute, a jail placement (which clears on your next login), a temporary ban, or a permanent ban. Cheat detection runs automatically and can jail or restrict flagged players without staff involvement.

If your account is jailed by the automated cheat detection, the jail clears the next time you log in. You do not need to contact staff to be released.

To appeal a ban or punishment, join the Discord and use the support channel. Provide your Minecraft username, the server where it happened, and any relevant context. False or abusive appeals can extend your punishment.

Store Policy

Overview

The Oakwild store sells cosmetic chests and related cosmetic items. All purchases are processed through Tebex, our third-party payment provider. By making a purchase, you agree to both these terms and Tebex's terms of service.

All items sold are cosmetic only. They do not affect gameplay, stats, or competitive balance. There are no pay-to-win elements on any server.

Delivery

Purchases are delivered to your Minecraft account automatically. You must use your exact Minecraft Java Edition username at checkout. If you enter a wrong username, delivery may fail. Contact us on Discord if a purchase does not arrive within 24 hours.

Cosmetic chests and unlocked cosmetics sync network wide. A chest purchased on the website is available on all three servers.

Refunds

All purchases are final. Because cosmetic items are digital goods delivered instantly, we do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations after a purchase is completed.

If a purchase fails to deliver due to a technical error on our end, contact us on Discord and we will either deliver the item manually or issue a refund at our discretion.

Opening a chargeback or payment dispute through your bank or payment provider without first contacting us on Discord may result in a permanent ban from the network. We are responsive on Discord and will work to resolve any delivery issue before a dispute is necessary.

Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you believe a charge was made in error or a product was not delivered, contact us on Discord before disputing the charge. We will investigate and resolve the issue. Filing a chargeback without attempting to resolve the issue with us first will result in a permanent account ban.

Age and Authorization

You must be at least 13 years old to make a purchase. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. By completing a purchase, you confirm that you are authorized to use the payment method and that you have the right to authorize the charge.

Server Uptime

We strive to keep all servers online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

Rules and Enforcement

I was jailed but I did not cheat. What do I do?
The automated cheat detection can occasionally produce false positives. If you were jailed, simply log off and log back in. The jail clears on your next login. If you believe you were banned by mistake, appeal on Discord.

Can I be banned for something I did on Discord, not in-game?
Yes. Harassment, threats, or severe rule violations on the Oakwild Discord can result in an in-game ban, and vice versa. The terms apply to the community as a whole, not just the game servers.

Can I share my account with a friend?
You can, but it is strongly discouraged. If your friend breaks a rule on your account, the account is punished. If your friend spends your tokens, cosmetics, or in-game currency, we will not reverse those transactions.

What if I see someone cheating or breaking the rules?
Report it on Discord in the support channel. Include the player's name, the server it happened on, and what you saw. Screenshots or video help but are not required.

Can staff search my inventory or vaults?
Yes. Staff can inspect inventories, vaults, and block placement history as part of investigations into cheating, griefing, or exploitation. This is a standard part of moderation and does not require your consent.

Store and Purchases

Are there any pay-to-win purchases?
No. The store sells cosmetic chests only. Cosmetics are visual and do not affect gameplay, stats, damage, or competitive balance. Every gameplay feature is accessible through play without spending money.

Can I get a refund on a cosmetic chest I already opened?
No. Once a chest is opened and the cosmetic is revealed, the purchase is considered fulfilled. Refunds are only considered when a purchase fails to deliver at all.

What happens to my purchases if the server shuts down?
All purchases are for digital goods on a community server. If the network permanently shuts down, there is no way to use or transfer purchased cosmetics. We are not obligated to refund purchases if the server closes.

Can I transfer my cosmetics or stats to another account?
No. Cosmetics, stats, and progress are tied to your Minecraft account UUID. We do not transfer data between accounts.

Can I sell my account or items for real money?
No. Selling accounts, in-game items, cosmetics, or currency for real money or other out-of-game value is prohibited and can result in a permanent ban. Trading in-game items for other in-game items is fine.

Survival

What if my land claim expires from inactivity?
Claims auto-expire after 60 days of inactivity unless you have 10,000 or more claim blocks. When a claim expires, the land becomes unclaimed and other players can build there. Staff will not restore builds lost to an expired claim.

Bedrock Players

Do these terms apply to Bedrock players?
The Oakwild Network is a Java Edition server. Bedrock players connecting through Geyser or other cross-play tools are subject to the same terms while connected.

Skyblock Temporarily Offline

Survival on floating islands. Build your island, grow your economy, and level up your skills. Skyblock is currently offline. Join the Discord for updates on when it returns.

Basics

When you first join Skyblock, you'll be on a small starting island. Your goal is to expand, build, and progress.

Islands

Your island is your personal world. Build it up and make it your own.

Goals: Grow your island and build it into a fully self-sufficient base.

Economy

Earn and spend money by farming, mining, and trading with other players.

Farms also generate passive income automatically over time. The more you grow, the more you earn.

Goals: Accumulate wealth, unlock better tools and upgrades, build income-generating farms.

Skills

Level up skills by using them. Higher skill levels give better rewards and efficiency.

/stats shows your current skill levels and progress. Use /skills for a summary of all skills or /skills <name> for detail on one, and /leaderboard to see the top players by XP.

Goals: Reach high skill levels, unlock better perks, become proficient in multiple skills.

Prestige

Prestige is a rank system that shows your overall progression across all your skills and playtime.

Goals: Climb the prestige tiers and show off your progress with prestige symbols and colors.

PvP

Skyblock is PvP-free everywhere you build and play. If you want to fight, warp to the dedicated PvP arena.

FAQ

Can I reset my island?
Yes, use /is reset: note this deletes your existing island and starts you fresh.

Is PvP forced anywhere?
No. Skyblock is PvP-free everywhere except the dedicated PvP arena, which you enter voluntarily.

Paintball

Team-based arena combat. Fight for your team, level up, and unlock cosmetics.

Basics

Join a paintball server and you'll drop straight into the pre-game lobby, no menus needed.

Matches support 2–16 players across two teams, Ember vs. Ice. Once enough players are in, a 30-second countdown begins: 20 seconds of map voting, then a 10-second final countdown. The winning map is announced and the match starts.

Gameplay

Understanding how matches work and how to win.

Spectator Mode: Coming soon. Eliminated players currently wait in the lobby for the next round. Once implemented, you'll be able to spectate the rest of the match, fly freely, and see through walls.

Weapon Kits:

The Shotgun and Sniper show a reload countdown between shots, so you always know when you can fire again.

Goals: Win matches, rack up eliminations, work as a team.

Levels, Tokens & Kit Unlocks

Everything you do in a match earns progress: playing games, getting kills, reviving teammates, and winning all grant XP and count toward achievements.

Goals: Level up, complete achievement chains, unlock every kit.

Achievements

There are 21 achievements: a 7-step chain for each unlockable kit (Shotgun, Machine Gun, Sniper). Complete every achievement in a kit's chain to make that kit eligible for purchase with Tokens. Higher-tier achievements require higher levels before they start tracking progress, and each one pays out Tokens when completed.

Perks

Perks are passive upgrades you buy with Tokens and equip per-kit, up to 3 at once. Click Manage Perks in a weapon NPC's kit menu to jump straight to that kit's loadout, or open Perks from the Stats menu to browse the full Perk Shop. Both GUIs link back and forth to each other and to your Stats menu.

Each perk has a required level and a Token cost, and most apply to every kit.

Equipped perks don't all activate at match start. Each of your 3 loadout slots unlocks individually as you reach 1, 2, and 3 kills that match (slot 1 at your first kill, slot 2 at your second, slot 3 at your third), then stays active for the rest of the match. Your kill streak resets each new match, so plan your loadout around which perks you want active early versus as a reward for a hot streak.

Cosmetics

Unlock visual cosmetics and equip them across all paintball servers. Cosmetics are purely visual and don't affect gameplay. There are 22 cosmetic types:

Goals: Level up to earn chests, collect cosmetics, and customize your look.

Chests

Cosmetic Chests are how you unlock new cosmetics. Every 5 levels you earn a chest for free, and you can also buy more from the store. Open chests from the Cosmetics menu. Cosmetics come in four rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.

Higher-tier chests have better odds at rarer cosmetics. Buy chests in-game by clicking the SHOP NPC, or from the store link above. Either way, purchases are delivered straight to your account, online or offline.

Stats & Tracking

Every match you play is tracked, and your stats, level, Tokens, and kit unlocks are shared across all paintball servers.

Tracked stats include Games Played, Wins, Losses, Win Rate, Kills, Deaths, K/D Ratio, Best Streak, and Accuracy.

The server periodically broadcasts helpful tips in chat: reminders about the Stats menu, the Perk Shop, achievement chains, and leveling.

Maps

Players vote on the next map before every match.

More maps are on the way.

FAQ

Which server should I join, PB-1 or PB-2?
Either works. Connect to whichever has your friends on it, or just pick one and you'll be placed in its lobby automatically.

What happens if I disconnect mid-match?
Your stats for that match won't count toward the final result, but you can rejoin the match while it's still in progress.

How do I switch weapon kits?
Click a weapon NPC in the lobby and select the kit from its menu. You can only select kits you've unlocked.

How do I unlock the other kits?
Reach the required level, complete that kit's achievement chain, then buy it with Tokens from the Achievements menu in your Stats menu. Unlocks are permanent and shared across all paintball servers.

Survival

Vanilla-plus survival with an item-only economy, land claims, tiered achievements, and cross-server cosmetics. No fixed spawn, no currency. You random-teleport into the world on join and build your own story from there.

Basics

When you first join, you'll be randomly teleported into the Overworld. There's no spawn hub and no currency. The economy is entirely item-based. Trade with other players, build a base, and work your way through the achievement chains.

Goals: Establish a base, gather rare materials, progress through achievement chains, and collect cosmetics.

Land Claims

Protect your builds from griefing and theft with land claims. Claims are only available in the Overworld. The Nether and End are unclaimable, so build your main base in the Overworld.

Goals: Claim and protect your base, expand your territory over time, invite friends to build with you.

Achievements

Your stats are tracked across 8 categories and reward cosmetic chests for completing achievement chains. Each chain is tiered. You must complete each tier before the next one starts tracking. Higher tiers reward better chests.

/achievements opens the achievement GUI where you can browse all chains, see live progress, and view which tiers you've completed. Completing a tier rewards a cosmetic chest. Easy and Medium tiers give Basic chests, Hard tiers give Premium, and Ultimate tiers give Ultimate chests.

Goals: Complete every achievement chain, earn all Ultimate chests.

Monthly Boss Events

Once a month, a powerful boss spawns somewhere in the world for players to hunt down together. The boss rotates each month between the Ender Dragon, Wither, and Warden, and each one is significantly stronger than its vanilla counterpart with boosted health, damage, and regeneration. Players who participate by dealing damage to the boss earn cosmetic chests scaled to their contribution. The fight is meant to be a server-wide event, so gather your gear and be there when it spawns.

Goals: Show up for every boss event, deal damage, top the leaderboard, and earn Ultimate chests.

Exploration & Random Teleport

Explore the world and discover new places, or use Random Teleport (RTP) to jump straight to a fresh, unexplored location.

Goals: Visit all three dimensions, find strongholds and bastions, walk 1,000 km total.

PvP

PvP is enabled everywhere, but land claims protect you inside your claims. You're safe at home. In the wilderness and all unclaimed areas (including the entire Nether and End), PvP is fair game.

Cosmetics & Chests

Survival shares the same cosmetics system as paintball. Unlock cosmetics from chests, equip them with /cosmetics, and your unlocks sync network wide, so a chest you earn in survival is also available on the paintball servers.

Cosmetics come in four rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. There are 22 cosmetic types: hats, halos, particle trails, death effects, victory poses, taunts, mounts, pets, morphs, emotes, and more. Earn free chests by completing achievement tiers, or buy more from the store.

Goals: Earn chests through achievements, collect rare cosmetics, customize your look across all servers.

Player Vaults

Access personal vault inventories that persist across sessions. The number of vaults you get depends on your rank, and each vault has 54 slots of storage.

Item Trading

No currency means all trading is item-to-item. Safely trade with other players face-to-face.

Useful Commands

Navigation and quality-of-life commands.

FAQ

Is there money or a shop?
No. Survival uses an item-only economy. There's no currency, no /balance, no /shop. Trade items directly with other players using /trade.

Can other players grief my base?
Not if it's claimed. Land claims protect your builds from breaking, building, and theft by other players. Claims only work in the Overworld, so don't build your main base in the Nether.

Is PvP forced anywhere?
PvP is enabled everywhere, but you're protected inside your land claims. The Nether and End have no claims, so PvP is always active there.

How do I get more claim blocks?
You start with 256 and earn 50 per hour of active play, up to 80,000 total. Your rank may also grant bonus blocks.

Do my cosmetics carry over from paintball?
Yes. Cosmetic unlocks and chest counts sync network wide. A chest you earn in survival is available on the paintball servers, and vice versa.

What happens when I first join?
You'll be randomly teleported into the Overworld with a small automatic land claim around you. From there, you're on your own. Build, explore, and start working through achievements.

How do I get cosmetic chests?
Complete achievement tiers. Each tier rewards a chest. Easy and Medium tiers give Basic chests, Hard gives Premium, and Ultimate gives Ultimate chests. You can also buy chests from the store.
