Every once in awhile, in this wide universe we live in, things go quiet. When things go too quiet, and regions of the universe go inactive, the universe itself tries it's best to correct it. It does this by "folding" in on itself, and creating a Fold, where the rules of reality itself begin to bend and chaos erupts.

The only way to prevent this, that we have found so far, is to accelerate the activity and chaos until it eventually calms down and resets itself, unfolding the domain and restoring order.

Operators of the U.N.F.O.L.D. Division are sent to Folded Domains to stir up activity, until eventually everything goes quiet. At that point, we know the domain has stabilized. Then, we will retreat from the domain and leave you dormant until we need you for another mission.

The purpose of the server, primarily, is to have fun with friends and new people alike. The purpose is not to "game the system" by speedrunning progression, automating everything, and making 10 billion dollars; sure, you can do that, but it isn't the POINT of the server.

If you are not interacting with people and having fun, you're likely not going to get the intended experience.

Some things we do to promote player interaction:

• Creating Seasonal "Gimmicks" where people are put in certain roles, I.E. The King/Regents/The Elites/The Domain/Chimera etc.
• Creating a semi-daily news article of all the most interesting events in the server, posted through our Discord Server.
• Promoting teamwork through the gameplay and modpack design.

So don't be afraid to interact with people you don't know, and we strongly encourage you to invite a friend to play with you!

We like to implement mods and features that breed creativity. Building and roleplay mods are great examples of this.

We also like to implement restrictions that breed creativity. For example, restrictions around technology, automation, or resources. We believe that restrictions, when done right, can force you to be much more creative, and adopt much more interesting strategies through problem solving.

We love to encourage people to roleplay...to a degree. This server is not PRIMARILY a roleplay server, meaning there are no rules, protections, or guidelines around "metagaming", or "remaining in character". In fact, no one is expected to play a character. This is not an ish video...

However, we do encourage people to form nations, teams, get into beef (as long as it remains fun), create treaties, establish deals...etc. And we will often implement mods or policies to allow people to persue this better.

We try to avoid any scenario where one person can speedrun progression, and then essentially play the game for everyone else and cause the whole server to skip important game steps.

We prefer to do this through the design of the pack itself, not through regulation. So, nothing is inherently stopping you from trading when it comes to server rules. However, resources can be more difficult than usual to come across, and more often than not, important resources are designed to be nearly impossible to MASS manufacture.

We do not design these packs, or the server itself, around gameplay styles that are based off of intense, laser-focused, tunnel-vision speedrunning and technological progress. If you reach an issue with progression on the server, and you have progressed way further ahead of everyone else through tunnel-visioning and only focusing on item progression, don't expect a fix to the issue keeping you from progressing to be immediate.

We will not actively accomodate speedrunners, though we will not stop you either. Just be aware, that if you run into an issue because of your speedrunning, we won't speedrun to help you. We will get to it when we can.

Be Respectful

We aren't forcing you to get along, but if you just bring conflict, frustration, or ruin the vibe, we're not gonna hesitate to get rid of you

NSFW

Any kind of sexual/NSFW imagery, and edgey content (like gore, hate-bait, or shock videos) do not belong here.

Limit politics or arguments

While we don't plan on being obnoxiously obtuse about people getting into political debates, it's not the purpose for the server and doesn't fit here. So, just know that if you get into a big argument or debate on something, you might be shutdown.

No unsolicited advertising.

All "advertising" or linking to other servers must be approved by an Administrator first. (Approval can be overridden by StarmaKarma)

Do not bypass claims

Abusing a glitch in any form to steal from/grief another player's claim that you don't have access to, will be automatically considered griefing, and is absolutely not tolerated.

Dont GRIEF people

We're not gonna be overly strict with what you can do on the server, if both parties involved find it fun and harmless, go for it. But be careful, because if you and up griefing or stealing from someone, and they report you and are clearly uncool with it, that's real griefing. Don't steal or grief unless you already know without a doubt that they're a friend who's chill with it.

No Exploits / Unauthorized Mods

Abusing an exploit, or refusing to report an exploit could get you suspended or banned, as it just shows a lack of trustworthiness. Below can be found a list of explicitly forbidden mods from adding to your client, no questions asked. If you want to make sure you can use a clientside mod, ask.

Using any of these will either earn you a restriction of some kind, a suspension, or an actual ban if necessary. Also, use common sense as to what mods you can and cannot add. If you want to be safe, ask us if you can use the mod you're concerned about.

• Any XRAY Mod/Resourcepack
• Any Fullbright/Gamma adjustment mod/resourcepack
• Any free-cam mod
• Any Mob radar, that shows you where mobs are
• Anything that is specifically rejected by an @Administrator.
• Practical shaders (Shaders that either break the core lighting mechanics, or change the lighting in such a way that it assists you by making things way brighter or way more obvious.)

If you have anything that you feel warrants an exception to any of these categories, ask an Admin. Do NOT just silently decide that you can add it without consulting anyone.

• Purely cosmetic mods, that have 0 practical function, like mods that change the font or change how player skins are modeled
• Replay Mods
• Distant Horizons
• Zoomify / Similarly simple zoom function mods
• Purely cosmetic shaders (Shaders that don't break the core lighting mechanics, and just make things look a bit prettier without changing everything in a practical way.)
• Shaders that just function to make ores glow a tiny bit are okay
• Litematica
• Anything that is specifically approved by an Administrator.

Ever frustrated because a new, interesting, and fun armor added by a mod is made useless and irrelevant by mere iron armor? Well...we certainly have been before.

Unfold modpacks are built around the concept of "Overhauling". We want to create as new of an experience as possible, and we do this by deleting the original vanilla progression and replacing it with custom-planned modded progression!

This typically manifests in the armor progression, where you are forced to play the game throughout various stages of armor progression; no longer do you just speedrun iron armor in 10 minutes, then get full diamond in 50 minutes, and proceed to play with full diamond throughout the entire game.
