5. Build Rules

In all survival worlds, your build must be at least 100 blocks away (Chebyshev distance) from the closest build.
If you expand into someone else's radius, you must either work it out with the other player or come to staff for help mediating.
If you don't see any builds nearby and you believe you are 100 blocks away from the nearest build, you are allowed to build there.
In the creative world, your build must be at least 16 blocks away (Chebyshev distance) from the closest build.

A – Claim blocking, which is the act of deliberately placing claims near someone else's build to block its expansion, is not allowed. This includes placing a new town next to another with the intent of blocking their expansion.

B – Town and claim owners are allowed to kick any players off of their property for any reason and duration, even if the removed player has claim trust or currently dwells on said property.
