The Hypixel Server is intended to be a fun, welcoming and friendly environment for all players to play on. As such, we have a list of rules we expect all players to follow with no exceptions. By choosing to play on the Hypixel Server or use the Hypixel Forums or TeamSpeak, you agree to follow all the rules listed below.

Our main goal is for Hypixel to be a positive and respectful space where cheating, inappropriate content, bad player behaviour and other negative things are kept to a minimum. We think Hypixel offers some of the most fun and creative gameplay available in the online Minecraft community, and we support the vast majority of players who respect others and play fairly. By following a few simple rules, we can all help make Hypixel stay a great place to play some fun games with friends.

1) Respect All Players

All players have the right to be spoken to or addressed in a friendly, respectful manner.
We aim for the Hypixel Server to be a fun and safe place for players to communicate and interact with each other with each other respectfully. Our chat environment is a good way to talk to other players, discover new friends and have fun while in lobbies and games.

We encourage players to cooperate and compete in a positive environment, but never in a way that disrespects or abuses other players. In short: treat others the way you would like to be treated.

This includes the Server, the Forums and the TeamSpeak.
Respecting players means that players should not create negative experiences for other players.

Behaviour which is not allowed:
  • Discrimination - negative comments related to skin colour, gender, or other personal qualities.
  • Overuse of bad language
  • Trolling players
  • Insulting other players in any way
  • Encouraging violence or hatred towards other players
  • Falsifying information about other players
  • Sharing another player’s personal information without their consent
  • Media Advertising - posting links to YouTube, Twitter, SnapChat, Domains, etc
  • Spamming - pasting the same or similar messages over and over
  • Intentionally avoiding the chat filter
  • Talking about self-harm, or other deeply negative experiences
  • Advertising giveaways (in Lobbies and forums)
Everyone that plays Hypixel is a player; this includes anyone who plays on the server regardless of rank.
