Farms are allowed every other week. Check the announcement.
Our weekly competitions are here to keep Vanilla Tyme fun for everyone, with a fair chance and a level playing field. These rules apply on top of all of our <main-rules-link>main server rules</main-rules-link>.
Auto farms and mob farms are allowed <strong>every other week</strong>. Always read that week's competition announcement to check whether farms are allowed. On weeks they're not, the rules below apply.

- No mob farms.
- Spawners and player-built farms are prohibited.
- No villager trading.
- No spying on fellow players.
- No match fixing, collusion, bribing, or fixing the outcome of the competition.
- All resources must be gathered by you during the current competition.
- You can't buy, trade, or get materials for free from others.
- You can't use materials you gathered or stored before the competition.

3
prize boxes each week
30
days with the Champ tag
- The top 3 players on the scoreboard each week win a prize box, which includes a trophy.
- The player in 1st place gets the in-game "Champ" tag for 30 days.
- While you have the Champ tag, you can't place in the top 3 again until it expires.
- Staff may change these rules for specific competition categories at any time.
- Breaking any rule gets you disqualified from that week's competition. If you get a DQ tag, you can't take part in the current week's or next week's competition.
- Report any mistakes or loopholes to staff with a support ticket in Discord. If you own up to breaking a rule, staff are more likely to adjust your score than disqualify you.
