Terms of Service

The rules for the VillageBud website, accounts and server, in plain words. Last updated: 18 October 2026.

1. About these terms

These terms apply to villagebud.net and the Minecraft server play.villagebud.net ("VillageBud"), run by Matthew Caprisont, Croatia. By using VillageBud you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use VillageBud.

2. Not an official Minecraft product

VillageBud is a fan-run server. NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT. You also have to follow the Minecraft End User License Agreement and the rules of your Microsoft account.

3. Playing on the server

  • Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, threats, scams, or sharing other people's private information.
  • No cheats, hacked clients, x-ray, macros that play for you, or exploiting bugs and dupes. Report bugs and dupes to staff instead.
  • No advertising other servers, and no real-money trading of in-game items or accounts.
  • Staff may warn, mute, kick or ban players who break the rules. Serious or repeated breaks can lead to a permanent ban.
  • VillageBud is in open beta: features, balance and the economy change, and islands, items or progress can be reset or lost through bugs or updates. We work hard to avoid that and announce planned resets in advance, but we can't promise it never happens.

4. Your VillageBud account

  • You need to be 16 or older, or have a parent's or guardian's permission.
  • Use a real e-mail address you can access, keep your password secret and don't share your account. One account per person; one Minecraft account per VillageBud account.
  • Linking a Minecraft name proves you own that player. Linking someone else's account is not allowed.
  • You can delete your account any time in your account settings. We may suspend or delete accounts that break these terms or are used for spam or abuse.

5. Help requests and tickets

Help requests use tickets: you start with 5, and one comes back every 6 hours, up to 5. Tickets have no money value and can't be bought, sold or traded. Please don't spam requests, insult staff, or ask for things staff can't do (such as giving back items lost by breaking the rules).

6. Rewards

Rewards for voting, linking your Minecraft account, NameMC and similar are given in game, once per player where stated, and only while the reward exists. They have no money value. Abusing reward systems (several accounts, fake votes) can remove the rewards and lead to a ban.

7. What you share

Messages, builds and screenshots you share stay yours, but you allow VillageBud to show them on the server, the website and our social channels (for example a screenshot of your build in an update post). Don't share anything illegal or anything you don't have the right to share.

8. Purchases

There is no VillageBud store yet. Before one opens, these terms will be updated with what is sold, prices, delivery, your right of withdrawal and refunds.

9. Liability

VillageBud is provided free of charge and "as is" by a small team. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for lost in-game progress, items or downtime. Nothing in these terms limits your rights as a consumer under EU and Croatian law.

10. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top changes, and big changes are announced on Discord and by e-mail to account holders. These terms are governed by Croatian law. Questions: villagebud.mc@gmail.com.
