# Server Mechanics

**Account Limitations**\
Max 2 accounts per player (1 main, 1 alt). For shared internet connections, this applies individually, but must be proven. Alts solely for extra kits, rewards or gang invites are prohibited.\
\
**Teleportation**\
`/tpa` request has a 30-second cooldown. `/tpahere` has a 15-second cooldown.\
Players can toggle teleport requests using `/tptoggle`.\
\
**PVP**\
Players can toggle PVP on/off using `/pvp`.\
New players get 5 minutes of PVP protection on their first join.\
PVP is enabled in the Arena (`/warp arena`), and KOTH hill.

**Keep Inventory Information**\
Keep inventory is **NOT** enabled in this server. If you die, you will drop all your items. Make sure to store your valuable items safely before engaging in risky activities!\
\
**Rank Ups** \
The `/rankup` command automatically deducts the required money and grants the player the next rank, up to Z. After Z, players must `/prestige`.\
\
**Prestiges** \
After reaching Rank Z, players can prestige, resetting their rank to A but granting permanent multipliers and upgrades. There are 7 prestiges (P0-P7).

**Max Item Rename Limit**\
For the `/rename` command unlocked at the Lord rank, there is a maximum limit of `12` characters for item renaming.

**Mine Reset Interval** \
All mines automatically regenerate every 30 minutes to replenish ores. Players will be warned 1 minute before the reset and teleported out when it starts.

**Auction House Limits**\
There is a limit of 10 items per player that can be listed on the `/ah` at once. Listing fees are based on the item's starting price.\
\
**Bombs** \
TNT Bombs mined with will clear a 5x5 area around the exploded block. Bombs cannot be placed, only thrown. They deal no damage to players. Bomb drops and yields may vary between mines.

**Gang Limits**\
The maximum number of players in a gang is 10. Gangs can be created with `/gang create <name>` for a cost of $1,000,000.

**Auction House Tax** \
When an item is sold via `/ah`, a 5% tax is deducted from the sale price and deleted from the economy to prevent inflation.

**Item Despawn Time**\
Items dropped on the ground will despawn after 5 minutes (6000 ticks) if not picked up.\
\
**Server Restarts**\
The server restarts every 12 hours at 1 AM EDT (GMT-4) and 1 PM EDT (GMT-4). At the time of the restart, players will be brought to the lobby.\
\
**Server Difficulty**\
The server difficulty is set to Hard.\
\
**View and Simulation Distance**\
The server's view distance is set to 7, and the simulation distance is set to 4.\
\
**Server Auto-Save**\
The server auto-saves every 5 minutes (6000 ticks). This ensures that your progress is regularly backed up.\
Please note, in the unlikely event of a server crash, there is a possibility that any changes made in the last 5 minutes may not be saved, as the auto-save process could have been interrupted.

**Shop Price Modifier Table**\
Each player rank has its own buy price modifier for the shop. Below is a table of each player rank's price modifier.
