Server rules
The server is set to not retain inventory on death (default death yard sale in other words)
Hard difficulty
No cheating* (meaning most people will NOT be ops)
No ruining someone else's fun/ build

I do make backups and can a) restore the entire world if it's agreed upon or b) restore your character data, so your dude will have whatever inventory they had on their person at the time of the backup.
Alternatively I can summon certain items for you or in other ways try to undo the damage of a non-skill-issue death, or if you talk me into it I guess. This is where the cheating asterix above goes

Please build something at spawn before heading off to wherever :D
