5. The following applies to newly connected players:
   1. After the first connection the player may receive a one-off basic kit (stone tools, sword).
   2. A new player has no right to any further help. We play survival, so everyone has to take care of themselves.
   3. After the first connection the player goes in any direction at least 1500 blocks from spawn, where they may start building a home (in line with section D).
   4. An admin may help a new player at the beginning (typically setting day instead of night), but this is not a rule.

E) Building a home

1. A player may build a home:
   1. at least 1500 blocks from spawn,
   2. at the place where they started building first (unless the players agree otherwise),
   3. far enough from other players (unless the players agree otherwise).
2. A player may set a home:
   1. in line with paragraph 1,
   2. at the place they permanently live (where they built their home).
3. A player may set a residence:
   1. in line with paragraphs 1 and 2,
   2. so that it does not overlap with another player's residence.
4. The player must finish their house or tear it down and start building elsewhere (in line with the rules).
   1. If they do not, after a month of inactivity they will be asked to finish the house.
   2. If they do not do so within 14 days of the request, their home may be demolished without compensation.
   3. Such an unfinished house may be demolished even if the player has a home and a residence set on it.
5. When building houses we respect the player's creativity as much as possible. It is however forbidden to:
   1. build ugly houses ("boxes") from dirt, sand or gravel,
   2. build floating houses,
   3. build houses whose appearance significantly (and unnaturally/illogically) disrupts the surroundings. In such cases an admin will contact you and you will agree on the next steps.

F) Property protection

1. The following items of a player are protected automatically:
   1. chests,
   2. furnaces,
   3. dispensers.
2. With a command the player can additionally protect:
   1. signs,
   2. doors.
3. The protection of all the items above can be removed with a command (see section I).
4. Buildings can be protected with a residence.
5. If a player does not protect their property (unlocks chests, does not set a residence), they have no right to its return (or restoration) in case of griefing (theft, destruction).

G) Communication

1. When communicating with others the player must follow the rules in section D, paragraph 1, points 1 and 2.

   1. write properly, not use caps lock, not overuse symbols (exclamation marks, question marks and so on),
   2. not post any advertising,
   3. not flood the chat with nonsense.
3. These rules apply everywhere: in chats (in game, on the dynmap) and in communication with info@sgve.eu.

H) Disputes and rule violations

1. Resolving disputes between players
   1. Try to resolve all disputes and problems with other players by talking to each other first.

   3. If no admin is present, send your complaint to info@sgve.eu.
2. Rule violations
   1. If you witness another player breaking the rules, report it to an admin. If no admin is present, document the event and send it to info@sgve.eu.
   2. If you witness an admin breaking the rules, document the event and send it to info@sgve.eu.
3. When writing an e-mail please:
   1. put "Minecraft – complaint" in the subject,
   2. describe briefly and clearly what happened,
   3. support your statement with evidence (screenshot, video),
   4. note that another player's testimony cannot be taken as evidence.
4. The player has the right to have their case reviewed (the punishment given, new evidence and so on).
5. If you disagree with a punishment given by an admin or want to ask for an unban, write to info@sgve.eu with "Minecraft – appeal" in the subject.
