Home
What is Vudira?
Vudira is a player-run gaming network that has hosted its own European game servers. It operates Minecraft, No More Room in Hell and Source engine servers, publishes a public rulebook, and runs public ban lists, reports and appeals.
Is Vudira pay-to-win?
No. Nothing sold or granted on Vudira changes gameplay power. Perks are cosmetic or earned in game, and staff are not allowed to hand out advantages.
Which games does Vudira host?
Three right now: No More Room in Hell on five EU servers, Minecraft OneBlock+, and Quake III Arena on Excessive Plus. We open a new one when an active group needs it and the project is realistic.
How do I report a cheater?
Open a ticket on the Vudira Discord or use the contact email, include the game, server, player ID, date, time and evidence such as a clip or demo. Reports posted on external forums are not tracked.
Can I appeal a ban?
Yes. Every punishment can be appealed through the appeal page. Appeals are checked against the original evidence and the rule that was applied, and the outcome is explained.
How do I join the staff team?
Applications go through the staff recruitment page. The minimum age is 16 for helper roles and 18 for senior roles, positions are voluntary, and selected applicants start with a supervised trial period.
Servers
How do I connect to a Vudira server?
Open vudira.com/servers, choose the game, and use the direct connect link or copy the address into your client. Minecraft addresses can also be pasted straight into the multiplayer menu.
Where are the servers hosted?
In Germany, on machines Vudira operates directly. Sitting in the middle of Europe keeps ping low from almost anywhere in the EU, and the network in front of the servers filters both volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks. Performance tuning stays in our hands.
Do I need a whitelist or an application?
No. Vudira servers are open to anyone who accepts the rules. Applications only exist for staff roles and for community server partnerships.
Minecraft guide
What is the Minecraft server address?
mc.vudira.com. Paste it into the multiplayer menu, no port needed.
Do I need to register?
No setup beyond joining. Your progress is tied to your Minecraft account.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Use /ob team invite to add them to your island, or /ob visit to drop in on theirs.
Discord
Do I need Discord to play?
No. The game servers are open to everyone. But reports, appeals and support all run through Discord, so it is the fastest way to reach us.
Are tickets private?
Yes. Only staff can see a ticket. The person you report never sees it and is not told who opened it.
Rules
Which rules apply when I use Vudira Gaming?
The community rules apply across all our services, including game servers, Discord, and other official community spaces. You must also follow the specific rules for the game or service you use. These add requirements to the community rules; they do not replace or override them.
What do the severity levels mean?
Severity levels indicate how serious a violation is and its potential consequences. General covers lower-level misconduct; Important covers behaviour that significantly disrupts other players or the service; and Severe covers particularly harmful violations, such as cheating, hate speech, or ban evasion. These labels do not prescribe automatic punishments: the actual response depends on the circumstances, impact, and relevant history.
Will I always receive a warning before being punished?
No. A warning may be appropriate for minor issues, but it is not a required first step. Serious misconduct, situations requiring immediate intervention, or repeated violations may result in restrictions or bans without a prior warning, including permanent bans where warranted.
How does staff decide which sanction to apply?
Staff consider the seriousness of the behaviour, the context, available evidence, harm caused, and any relevant previous violations. Whether the incident was accidental or deliberate, and how the person responded afterwards, may also affect the decision. Cases that appear similar can therefore have different outcomes.
Can I be sanctioned for something that is not specifically listed?
Yes. No rulebook can anticipate every form of abuse. Staff may intervene when conduct clearly harms fair play, safety, service stability, or community wellbeing. Exploiting a gap in the wording or interpreting a rule in bad faith does not make harmful behaviour acceptable.
What if I make a mistake or did not know about a rule?
Not knowing a rule does not excuse a violation, but an accident is not necessarily treated the same as deliberate misconduct. If you make a mistake, stop the activity and explain what happened honestly. If you discover a bug, report it through the official channels and do not continue using it for your benefit.
What should I do if I am unsure whether something is allowed?
Ask staff through the appropriate official support channel before proceeding. Describe the specific action, tool, or situation and provide enough detail for staff to assess it. Other people doing something, a feature being available, or the absence of previous enforcement does not automatically mean it is permitted.
How do I report a rule violation?
Use the relevant report form or support category. Explain who was involved, where and when it happened, what occurred, and what evidence you have. Separate what you directly observed from what you suspect, and provide the full context. Public accusations and direct messages to staff do not replace an official report.
Do I need evidence to submit a report?
Include whatever you have, such as screenshots, recordings, messages, or details that help staff locate the incident. You may raise a concern without conclusive evidence, but limited information can restrict what staff are able to investigate or establish. An honest report that cannot be verified is not a false report; inventing events or manipulating evidence is a violation.
What can I do if I disagree with a sanction?
Submit an appeal through the official process. Identify the sanction, explain why you believe it should be reviewed, and include any relevant information or evidence. You may respectfully challenge a decision, but harassment, disruption of moderation, and sanction evasion are prohibited. Submitting an appeal does not suspend the sanction or guarantee that it will be removed.
Do staff members have to follow the rules too?
Yes. Being a staff member does not permit harassment, cheating, or abuse of authority. Actions requiring administrative or moderation permissions must serve those responsibilities. If you believe a staff member has acted improperly, use the official complaint process and provide the relevant details.
Does a successful report guarantee that my losses will be restored?
No. Taking action against a rule violation and restoring items, resources, or progress are separate decisions. Recovery depends on the circumstances, applicable rules, and technical feasibility. A sanction against another player does not guarantee restoration or compensation.
Can the rules change?
Yes. Vudira Gaming may revise, expand, or clarify the rules when necessary. Significant changes may be announced through official channels, but you are responsible for checking the published rulebook periodically. By continuing to use our services, you agree to follow the rules currently in effect.
Server status
How often is this page updated?
Whenever something changes. Every incident carries a start time and is updated until it is resolved, so the timestamps tell you how fresh the information is.
The status says fine but I still cannot connect.
Then it is most likely on your side: version, network or an old address. The help page walks through the usual causes, and if none of them fit, open a ticket.
Help
Why can I not connect when my friend can?
Almost always the version, the network or an old address left in the list. Compare all three with your friend and the difference is usually obvious.
Is the server down?
Check the status page. Incidents are posted there with a start time and updated until they are closed. If nothing is posted, the servers are up as far as we know.
Connection times out on one network but works on another.
Then the servers are reachable and something on the first network is blocking the traffic. School, work and public networks very often block game ports.
Do you restore items lost to a bug?
If the bug is ours and the logs confirm it, yes. Ordinary deaths, falls into the void and your own mistakes stay yours. That part is in the rules.
Glossary
A term I ran into is missing here
Tell us in a Discord ticket or through the contact form and we will add it. The glossary grows from the questions people actually ask.
Are the definitions the same in every language
Yes. Every term is translated, not machine-swapped, and the meaning is kept identical across all site languages.
Report a player
Where do I send a report?
Through a private ticket on the Vudira Discord, or by email using the address on the contact page. Both are read by staff, Discord is faster for follow-up questions.
Do I need video evidence?
It is not always mandatory, but it is the difference between a case that can be decided and one that cannot. For cheating accusations, a clip or demo is effectively required.
Will the reported player know it was me?
No. Reports are handled privately and the reporter is not disclosed to the person being reported.
Appeal a ban
How long does an appeal take?
Most appeals are answered within a few days. Cases that need senior review or older log checks can take longer, and you are told when that happens.
Can a permanent ban be lifted?
Sometimes. Permanent bans for cheating or hate speech are rarely reversed, but a genuine mistaken identity or a flawed evidence chain is corrected as soon as it is confirmed.
Can I appeal twice?
A second appeal is only useful if you bring something new: fresh evidence, missing context, or a documented error in the original decision.
Staff recruitment
Are staff roles paid?
No. Every staff position on Vudira is voluntary and unpaid. It is a trust role in the community, not a job.
What is the minimum age?
Sixteen for helper-level roles and eighteen for senior positions, without exceptions. Applications below the age limit are not considered.
I was punished before. Can I still apply?
Yes, if you are honest about it. A declared old warning is far less damaging than an omission we find during the history check.
Server partnership
Is this free hosting?
No. It is a partnership. The server becomes part of Vudira, follows the Vudira rulebook and stays under our final oversight.
Can we keep our own branding?
The server runs under Vudira branding. Your group keeps its identity inside the community, but the server is not a separate brand.
What happens if the group goes inactive?
Servers with no activity are archived or repurposed after notice. That is the honest trade-off of running on someone else's hardware.
Moderation
How long does a report take?
Usually hours, sometimes a day or two when it needs senior staff or log checks. If a week passes without an answer, ask again, it means something was missed.
Will the reported player know it was me?
We do not pass on who reported. In a small community they can often guess, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Can I be banned without a warning?
Yes, for cheating, ban evasion and anything endangering another person. Those do not get a warm-up.
What if a moderator treated me unfairly?
Appeal it, or write to the community email. Complaints about staff are read by someone else, not by the person you are complaining about.
Do you delete old punishments?
Records stay while a punishment is active, and moderation history matters for repeat cases. A punishment lifted as a mistake is marked as such rather than erased.
For parents
Can parents contact Vudira directly?
Yes. Write to the community email or open a Discord ticket. You do not need an account and you do not need to explain yourself to a bot first.
Is there an age limit?
We do not run age verification, and we would be lying if we claimed to. Under Slovak law a person under 16 needs a parent's agreement before consenting to data processing, which is described on the privacy page.
Do you collect information about children?
We keep as little as possible: usernames, game identifiers and notes on incidents. No advertising profiles, no data sold to anyone.
What happens if my child is bullied?
Report it through a ticket or email with as much detail as you can. It is reviewed by a person, the affected players are separated first, and the outcome is written down.
Can you guarantee nothing bad will ever happen?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can guarantee is a process: reports are read, serious behaviour is acted on, and decisions are documented rather than improvised.
About
Is Vudira a company?
No. Vudira is a community project run by volunteers. There is no commercial hosting business behind it and no investor to satisfy.
How is Vudira funded?
Through the people who run it and optional community support that never affects gameplay. Nothing sold changes power, progression or moderation outcomes.
Can I help without becoming staff?
Yes. Reporting rule breaks with evidence, helping new players, translating content and testing servers are all genuinely useful contributions.
Contact
How fast do you answer?
Discord tickets are usually answered within a day or two. Email is slower, especially for cases that need a log check or senior review.
Can I get support in my language?
The site is available in nine languages, and staff cover several of them. English is the safest choice when your case is urgent or complex.
