We explore the ground state phase diagram of a translationally invariant, non-integrable one-dimensional spin chain with dipole conservation. The model is typically realized in quantum simulators, such as cold-atom setups, in the presence of a large, tilted electric field. Despite the strong kinetic constraints imposed by dipole conservation, which prevent the propagation of isolated spin excitations and suppress single-spin order, the system stabilizes an antiferromagnetic dipole-ordered ground state. However, at a large Ising interaction strength, the model shows a phase transition to a spin-ordered phase. Using exact diagonalization along with density matrix renormalization group simulations, we examine the associated phases with different antiferromagnetic order parameters, the entanglement spectrum, and the dynamical spectral function.
