ROOTCommunity rules
The short version is on the Rules page: respect other players, respect what isn't yours, and keep the game fair. That page is introductory guidance, not a complete enforcement policy. Check the rules posted in game and follow staff directions.
| Part | Status |

/report, /feedback and the 2-minute limit | Confirmed |
Staff alerts, /reports, /reportclose | Confirmed |
| Kick, ban, tempban, mute, tempmute, mute chat | Untested |

| Container ownership | Confirmed |
What staff can do
RootMC has its own moderation tools. Staff can:
- Kick a player from the server.
- Ban a player permanently, or temporarily for a set time.
- Unban a player.
- Mute a player permanently or temporarily, and unmute them.
- Mute chat for everyone.
- Look up a player's moderation history.
Bans and mutes are saved and survive server restarts. The full list of staff tools, and which ones are confirmed, is on the Staff tools page. Banned players see a red ban message when they're removed or try to join.
Reporting a player or sending feedback
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/report <player> <reason> | Reports a player to staff |
/feedback <message> | Sends feedback or a suggestion to staff |
- A reason or message needs 5 to 512 characters. Say what happened, where, and when.
- You can report anyone who has joined RootMC before, even if they're offline. You can't report yourself.
- You get a short case number when it's sent. Staff who are online are alerted straight away, and staff close cases when they've dealt with them.
- You can send one report or feedback message every 2 minutes.
Staff review open cases with /reports [page] (10 per page, oldest first, with each report's age) and close one with /reportclose <id> using the short 8-character id from the alert or list. Opening the report list and closing a report are logged, and so are staff tools like /invsee, /vanish, /gamemode, /fly, /god and /speed.
Belongings of permanently banned players
When a player is permanently banned, RootMC can release their eligible belongings at spawn:
- Their carried items, their Ender Chest, and the contents of chests and barrels they placed, are dropped as loose items at random spots within 32 blocks of spawn.
- These are normal item drops. Anyone can pick them up, and they can despawn like any other dropped item.
- Temporary bans don't release belongings.
- Double chests are skipped.
Chests you place
When you place a chest, trapped chest or barrel, RootMC records you as its owner. Ownership only comes from placing the block yourself or from a staff transfer, never from your player name. Inside your claim, only you and trusted players can open your containers.
Messages from the server
- Permission denied. in red means you tried a command or action you aren't allowed to use.
- Moderation warnings and ban screens are red. See Getting started for the full color guide.
