Welcome to the BDcraft community!

Thanks for joining the community! :)

BDcraft Community Rules

  • Do not redistribute textures :no_entry_sign:
    • It is against the Terms of Use that using the assets from the main resourcepacks created by the BDcraft Team isn't allowed for remix/other resourcepacks or for commercial use.
    • You can make changes and share them privately with friends (i.e. via Skype, etc.). If you want to share changes publicly you should make a patch that only includes the changed files.
    • Generally you can do what you like with mod patch textures. However, patch creators can reserve their rights on any original works they create. Make sure you credit people/threads if you use others' work.
  • Post in English :flag_gb: :flag_us:
    • You can also post in another language if you feel it is easier to get your point across, but you must in the least provide an English translation even if you just use Google Translate.
  • Be polite :hugging:
    • Respect others, and their opinions, don't swear, demand or 'shout' for updates, etc.
  • Don't spam :poop:
    • Posting useless remarks, images (such as "I like this post" images), or links to other irrelevant websites is not allowed. This also includes linking to referral pages for things like "Get me more space on xxx" even if they aren't monetized. If you have issues with bandwidth/space find a better host. A post should generally be more than a few words long and should also not just be a picture (unless it's a relevant texture).
  • Use spoilers :eye:
    • If you're quoting a lot of text or posting large images wrap them in spoiler tags.
  • Don't post your email address :love_letter:
    • Email addresses are too easily scanned and picked up by spambots and this is basically just a safety precaution. Use the Private Message system instead.
  • Be aware of sectional rules :handshake:

Warnings

If you break the rules or be a general nuisance a mod or admin will place a warning against your account and may also send you a Private Message as to why you've received a warning.

Receive enough warnings and you'll be banned either temporarily or permanently.

There is no set amount of "strikes" that you may get. It's up to staff discretion whether you will receive a warning or be banned based on the severity of your actions.

The warnings are by no means meant to upset the receiver, rather just make them aware they've breached the rules.

Account Deletion

If you would like your account deleted for any reason please visit your User Control Panel and select "Delete My Account".
If you're on mobile, or another device with a small display, the link may be hidden in the tribar [≡] menu.

If you have made any posts the username attached to them will be changed to "Deleted User <ID>".
By signing up on the forum it's a general expectation that posts will be kept as this helps preserve the integrity of threads.

Please also be aware that if you have any Supporter time remaining that you will not be able to reclaim or transfer it.

Forum BBcodes

Title
Show
The title tag is used to define specific subjects in a thread. For example in this thread one title is used for the Rules section and another for BBCodes section.

Code:

Code: Select all

[title]This is a title[/title]
Example:

This is a title



Subtitle
Show
The subtitle tag is used to split up a topic into sections that are considered part of the same subject. For example in this thread the Warnings section is considered part of the Rules section. In some cases this is also used as a stand-alone section header depending on the purpose of the thread.

Code:

Code: Select all

[subtitle]This is a subtitle[/subtitle]
Example:

This is a subtitle



Bold / Italic / Underline / Strike
Show
The Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strike tags are used to emphasise parts of text, drawing attention to them. You'll notice that bold is used to emphasize the characters used in the format code ('b' for bold, 'i' for italic, etc...). Please do not use these formatting techniques excessively, but only when absolutely necessary to emphasize significant parts of text.

Code:

Code: Select all

[b]This is bold text[/b]
[i]This is italic text[/i]
[u]This is underlined text[/u]
[s]This is striked text[/s]
Example:
This is bold text
This is italic text
This is underlined text
This is striked text


Spoiler
Show
When posting any kind of lengthy text or image previews, we insist that you put it between spoiler tags, which keeps the posts more organized and concise.

Code:

Code: Select all

[spoiler]No one can see this unless opened[/spoiler]
Example:
Show
No one can see this unless opened


You can also give a spoiler a name as follows:
Code:

Code: Select all

[spoiler=I'm hiding]You found me![/spoiler]
Example:
Show I'm hiding
You found me!



Quote
Show
As the name suggests, quote is for quoting specific parts of a users statement on the forum. It can also be used to manually quote text from people outside the forum enviornment.

Code:

Code: Select all

[quote="Author"]This is a specific quote[/quote]
[quote]This is a quote without an author[/quote]
Example:
Author wrote:
This is a specific quote
This is a quote without an author


Code
Show
You've probably noticed throughout this thread, that the bbcode is displayed in a gray box. Those grey boxes are the result of the code tag. The code tag allows you to write bbcode that is not parsed by the forum. This is also a good way to post logs or any kind of text that needs to retain its spacing.

You can't nest code tags inside code tags.


List
Show
The list is used to, as the name suggests, separate items in a list. This is demonstrated at the beginning of this thread with the rules. There are 4 kinds of lists: A-Z, a-z, Numeric and Bullet points; take a look at their examples below.

Unordered List Code (Pretty Formatted):

Code: Select all

[list]
[*] Point
	[list]
		[*] Sub-point
		[*] Sub-point
			[list]
				[*] Sub of Sub-point
			[/list]
	[/list]
[*] Point 2
[/list]
Example:
  • Point
    • Sub-point
    • Sub-point
      • Sub of Sub-point
  • Point 2

Ordered List Code (Pretty Formatted):

Code: Select all

[list=A]
[*] Point A
	[list=1]
		[*] Sub-point A1
		[*] Sub-point A2
		[list=a]
			[*] Sub-point 2a
			[*] Sub-point 2b
		[/list]
	[/list]
[*] Point B
[/list]
Example:
  1. Point A
    1. Sub-point A1
    2. Sub-point A2
      1. Sub-point 2a
      2. Sub-point 2b
  2. Point B


Section / Horizontal Rule
Show
Both the section and horizontal rule are used to partition the subtitle, depending on the organization of the thread. It can also be used to partition a spoiler as in the Guide in the Help Center. Wherever you need to divide groups of same-subject information, that's where you would use these tags.

Code:

Code: Select all

[hr][/hr]
[section]This is a section[/section]
Example:
The horizontal rule is above me and the section below me.
This is a section


Size
Show
The size tag is a percentage of the size of normal text. e.g. 200 would be 200% and 50 would be 50%. The range of the size is 20 up to 200.

Code:

Code: Select all

[size=20]This is small text[/size]
[size=100]This is normal text[/size]
[size=200]This is large text[/size]
Example:
This is small text
This is normal text
This is large text


Right / Center / Justify
Show
These tags are all alignment formatting and generally not used. First we have the right tag, which I can't think of a single use for, as nothing needs to be right-aligned. Then we have the center tag which can be useful to center images, but centering text is entirely useless. Lastly, we have the justify tag which I suppose can be nice if there are any posts with long disertations, but that's rare.

Code:

Code: Select all

This is left-aligned
[right]This is right-aligned[/right]
[center]This is centered[/center]
[justify]This is some long text to exemplify the necessity of a justify-scoped text-alignment archetype. Here is a second line just to add insult to injury as we continue to exemplify a tag which is almost never used, yay! As you'll notice, the text is spaced just enough to meet the edge of the right margin; in other words, the text is justified inside its alloted space.[/justify]
Example:
This is left-aligned
This is right-aligned
This is centered
This is some long text to exemplify the necessity of a justify-scoped text-alignment archetype. Here is a second line just to add insult to injury as we continue to exemplify a tag which is almost never used, yay! As you'll notice, the text is spaced just enough to meet the edge of the right margin; in other words, the text is justified inside its alloted space.
Below is what it would look like if the justified paragraph above was not justified.

This is some long text to exemplify the necessity of a justify-scoped text-alignment archetype. Here is a second line just to add insult to injury as we continue to exemplify a tag which is almost never used, yay! As you'll notice, the text is now no longer spaced to fit to the edge of the right margin; in other words, the text is not justified inside its alloted space, oh noes!!


Url / Link
Show
The url and link tags are nearly identical, the only difference being that link tags will open a url in a new tab. Url tags however, will open a url into the current page. It is recommended that you don't use url tags at all, since the majority of our linked content here are downloads. It can be annoying going to a download page which replaces the main page and then realizing you can't use the browser back button without re-activating the download.

There are two ways to create a link, one is with the address itself and the other is with a custom name for the link, as demonstrated below.

Code:

Code: Select all

[link=https://www.google.com]Google[/link]
[url]https://bdcraft.net[/url]
[url=https://bdcraft.net]BDCraft[/url]
Example:
Google

https://bdcraft.net
BDCraft


Buttons / Download
Show
These should be self-explanatory as to what they do. The buttons tag creates buttons and the download tag creates download links with a custom title.

Code:

Code: Select all

[buttons][link=https://www.google.com]A single button[/link][/buttons]

[buttons][link=https://www.google.com]Here[/link] [link=https://www.google.com]Are[/link] [link=https://www.google.com]Multiple[/link] [link=https://www.google.com]Buttons[/link][/buttons]

[download][link=https://www.google.com]Single[/link][/download]

[download][link=https://www.google.com]One[/link] [link=https://www.google.com]Two[/link] [link=https://www.google.com]Three[/link][/download]
Example:


Image
Show
The img tag is used when you want to embed an image right into the post. If you post multiple images in a thread they can be viewed like a gallery once clicked on.

Code:

Code: Select all

[img]https://bdcraft.net/assets/img/uploads/slides/bg_purebdcraft_java.jpg[/img]
Example:
Image


Photo
Show
This is basically an artistic version of the basic image. The photo tag will resize your images to thumbnails and put an aesthetic border around them. When the images are clicked, they'll open like images and allow you to cycle through them as described in the image section above.

Code:

Code: Select all

[photo]https://snag.gy/PxWj9.jpg[/photo]
[photo]https://snag.gy/f1zaU.jpg[/photo]
[photo]https://snag.gy/OMQCY.jpg[/photo]
[photo]https://snag.gy/oydrz.jpg[/photo]
Example:
Image

Video
Show
The video tag is for displaying YouTube videos. It should only be used for displaying something BDcraft related, not personal or objective advertising.

Code:

Code: Select all
