No rules except one: no hacks. Griefing, raiding, PvP and betrayal are all allowed. The anti-cheat is the part that actually works.
Short list. Read it once.
Takes about a minute.
In the Minecraft Launcher, use the latest release. No mods needed (and hacks won't help you).
Multiplayer, Add Server, address play.nomansmc.com.
Factions, events and border news all live there. Start a faction or get recruited.
Most anarchy servers give up on cheaters. We built our own anti-cheat for the stuff nobody else stops.
Hidden chests, ores and sealed rooms are never sent to a player until they could actually see them. X-ray and freecam show solid rock.
Players behind walls aren't sent to your client either. Tracers and player ESP have nothing to draw.
Ores and structures are randomized separately from the world seed. Cracking the seed gets you the mountains, not the diamonds.
Movement and combat cheats are handled by Grim, one of the best free anti-cheats around.
Illegal and duped items get removed, and every one is logged as evidence.
Suspicious mining gets flagged for a human to review. Nobody gets banned by a robot.
We built a test bench that measures what a cheat client actually receives. Same arena, same bots, every free anti-xray / anti-ESP plugin we could test.

Free plugins only, default and tuned settings, repeated runs. Think you can beat it? Take the bypass challenge in the Discord.
Updated daily. No playtime, no online lists, no coordinates: nothing that helps anyone find your base.

Go solo if you want. Factions just make it more fun to lose things.
Every faction gets its own private Discord channels, ranks and a rules page only the founder can edit.
A 5,000 by 5,000 world with a hard border, so you will run into people. The border grows as the server does.
No public playtime, no online lists, no coordinates. If you want to find a base, you have to actually find it.
Every faction on the server, straight from the Discord. Want in? Join the Discord and apply on #faction-board.
Yes. Griefing, raiding, killing, stealing and betrayal are all allowed. The only thing that isn't: hacked clients and exploits.
A human looks at the evidence before anything happens. Lucky miners don't get banned by a robot.
No. There's no shop and nothing pay-to-win. Supporters get a thank-you, never an advantage.
Java only, with real Minecraft accounts.
No. The map stays. The border only grows.
