Colored names are for donors to our server. If you donate, message a staff member and request a custom name color (available colors http://wiki.ess3.net/mc/).
There are also chat tags for Staff.

Gameplay
How does chunkloading work on the server?
You can chunkload as much as you like, but please be smart about it and try not to build laggy setups in general. If your build becomes an issue a staff member might break parts of your build and inform you about it.
Are there any banned items?
No, we don't ban any griefing tools. We believe in trust in our community and don't want to limit our players. If something is banned you can find it by searching for disabled in NEI/JEI, we have to do that rarely if an item/block is crashing the server when used.
How do I protect my base?
You don't, we believe in trust. If you believe someone has stolen from you or destroyed parts of your base, contact a staff member and we will track down what happened and rollback the area if necessary.
Why isn't spawn protected?
We don't build an official spawn, we want players to build their own spawn for their needs. You can also use it to put various modded trading blocks there or build a market.
Tesseract and Locking
Needed Items:
- Signalum nuggets x9 (In total - 6 to create the lock)
- Bronze Ingot x1
- Tesseract x1
- Signalum Security Lock x1
This will give you a tesseract that upon placement assigns the Owner status to you.
This will be locked to you and no one will have access to your Tesseract once you click the lock inside the Tesseract and click 'Owner Only' . This ensures that your energy, items and fluids channels are safe from anyone tampering with them/using them.
If you want to give access to your friends set Access Mode to 'Restricted' and add friends to your friends list with the command /cofh friend gui
Donating
How do you donate?
You can learn more about donating to our community by going to this page. Thank you in advance! :)
What are the donation benefits?
A big thankyou for supporting the server and showing us you value what we do. Also a bunch of small things, like a custom name color in chat and a fancy forum tag.
Other
Where can I find old map downloads?
We publish all past maps for everyone to download on this page https://stonebound.net/files/worlddls/.
Why don't you have X plugin? (ClearLag, WorldGuard, GoldenShovel, Market, etc)
ClearLag (clears items on the ground)
Not needed, if you build laggy stuff that spills items on the ground you will get warned and if it happens to often you will be banned.
/tpa (Teleporting to other players with a command
We dont want easy teleporting, there's plenty of modded items/blocks to meet with other players or just meet at spawn.
Protection (WorldGuard, Towny, Golden Shovel etc.)
Shop or Market
Use one of the various modded replacements, like the IC2 Trad-O-Mat, Forestry Trading Station, vending mod, Railcraft Trade Station and lots of other ones.
AFK Kick
We don't overfill the server so you should be always able to get online even around the evening hours, we also allow unlimited (as long theres no abuse) chunkloading so that isn't an issue either.
