Mod Guidelines and FAQs

We’re proud of the creativity and dedication of the modding community across Steam Workshop, mod.io, and our partnered platforms like Tebex. This guide outlines how to respect mod creators’ rights while monetizing your Space Engineers server or content.


Content Use Guidelines

Respecting modders means respecting their rights:

  • Do not reuse, copy, or distribute another creator’s work — on Steam, mod.io, Tebex, or elsewhere — without explicit permission.

  • You must not sell or offer content you did not create unless the original author has granted permission.

  • Modders have the right to request the removal of their content from your webstore.

💡 If you’re unsure whether you can use something in your store, always ask the original author.


Banned Items – What You Cannot Sell

You may not sell the following through your Tebex webstore:

  • Physical products (anything requiring shipping)

  • Client-side mods or plugins that provide unfair gameplay advantages

  • Anything exchangeable for real-world currency (fiat)

  • Any form of gambling (e.g., loot boxes, skin gambling, random cash prizes)


Violating These Guidelines

If your webstore violates any of the above rules:

  1. Your store will be taken offline.

  2. You will receive a notice of violation with instructions to resolve it.

  3. Your store can only be reopened after all violations are addressed.

⚠️ Repeated violations may result in a permanent ban from the Tebex platform.


Reporting Violations

If you believe a webstore is using someone else's content without permission, you can report it in the following ways:


Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact Keen Software House at [email protected]

Q: Can I make my server “pay-to-win”? A: Yes — but be mindful of the Minecraft EULA, modding community standards, and your players. Abuse of this model may damage trust or lead to moderation if guidelines are violated.

Q: Does the Tebex integration work on all servers? A: Currently, it supports Steam-based Space Engineers servers only. Support for other platforms may come later.

Q: Can I sell access to my server? A: Yes. You can configure packages that offer VIP slots, whitelist access, or priority joining.

Q: Can I sell perks like Discord roles or in-game ranks? A: Yes, as long as the reward is clearly defined and doesn't breach other guidelines.

Q: Can I sell loot boxes or randomized rewards? A: No. All products sold through Tebex must be clearly labeled and deterministic. Players must know exactly what they’re buying.

Q: I’m a modder. Can I sell paid modding services on Tebex? A: Not at this time. Tebex is intended for in-game monetization linked to gameplay services — not freelance development.
