Category:Ranks

Below are the ranks and associated abilities available to players on The Voxel Box. These ranks and abilities are subject to change at any time for any reason at the whim of server staff. Things are constantly changing to suit the world's ever-changing needs, so keep an eye on this page for changes to your rank's ability-set!

The current rank progression is: VISITOR → GUEST → MEMBER → LITESNIPER → SNIPER → CURATOR → ADMIN

Visitor

Visitors are only on the server during Exploration Days. They have all they need to explore the vast expanses of The Voxel Box. Their names are DARK GREY in game chat.

Visitors can...

• Use the any/all of our Texture Packs.
• Use Commands.
• Fly.
• Travel nearly anywhere in Holocene, The Nexus, Deep Space, and The Wild West.
• Add a helmet to themselves (using any block id - /vhelm).

Guest

From the Spawn Point, guests can easily access the Guest Zones, where the wonders of The Voxel Box begin to unfold. All guests are strongly encouraged to do some sight-seeing before building. Guest's names are GREY in game chat.

Guests can do everything that visitors can, as well as...

• Use Tools within the Guest Zones.
• Use Commands and VoxelGet.
• Use the /afk command.
• Submit builds with the intent to become a member.
• Make use of the Greylist Policy.

Getting your greylist application approved (so you may become a guest) is the first step in Joining The Voxel Box

Member

A guest who wishes to continue playing on the server may become a Member of The Voxel Box. Membership benefits start with the ability to build not just in the Guest Zones, but anywhere on the map. Members should seek the consent of existing Towns' or Cities' Lead Architects to build in established areas.

Members are expected to know and be familiar with the Rules, understand the community standards, and have successfully built a Whitelist worthy project in the Guest Zones. It is recommended that all new members read the New Member Guide.

Members can do anything that Guests can, and can also...

• Register an account and edit pages on the VoxelWiki.
• Use the /mimic command (VoxelMimic).
• Log in to the server, even when guests cannot.
• Create and contribute to Towns and Cities in The Wild West.
• Work in a [CURATED] region by receiving a Building Permit from an area-specific Curator.
• Use their personal Cubicle, and submit builds in them to curated regions.

LiteSniper

LiteSnipers have essentially the same permissions as members, except they are allowed to use the magical LiteSniper tool. LiteSnipers are mentored by the person who grants them a license to use LiteSniper for a probationary period. Litesnipers who show skill and maturity using the tools will retain their license after the mentorship period. LiteSnipers' names have a colored CYAN colon in game chat.

LiteSnipers can do anything that Members can, and can also...

• Use /jumpto and /thru (Which can also be done by left and right clicking with a Compass (ID: 345)).
• Use /tpa to request a teleport to other players.

LiteSniper is achieved by:

• Working in a curated region under the direction of a Curator.
• Cooperating with your neighbors and staying focused in areas such as the Cubicles, Nexus, and The Wild West.

You do not ask for LiteSniper. It will be given by any single admin or a curator (only within their curated zone) who wishes to sponsor you.

Sniper

Snipers are Members who have shown an interest in and subsequently learned how to use the VoxelSniper tool and are ready to move mountains with it. Their names are colored GREEN in game chat.

Snipers can do anything that LiteSniper can, and can also...

• Use the incredible VoxelSniper tool
• Use the /tp, /tpa, /tphere and /tpahere commands used to teleport to other players, and to teleport other players to you.
• Use some WorldEdit commands such as:
  • /unstuck
  • /ascend
  • /descend
  • /ceil
  • /up
  • //pos1
  • //pos2
  • //hpos1
  • //hpos2
  • //size
  • //shift
  • //chunk
  • //expand
  • //contract
  • //outset
  • //inset
  • //count
  • //distr
  • /snow
  • /thaw
  • /green
  • /butcher

The usual way to become a Sniper is by submitting an application to the support ticket system. The administrators of the server will collectively accept or deny applications. Three Admins must sponsor your sniper application in order for it to be ratified.

Curator

Curators are advanced architects who have complete control in their jurisdiction of a world. Their names are PURPLE in game chat.

Curators can do anything that Snipers can and, while within their curated region, can also...

• Train members in the art of VoxelSniper by granting LiteSniper to appropriate users who are working in their curated zone. (Note: Administrators will still give LiteSniper to users working in The Wild West and other areas)
• Use the /vgag, /vkick, and /vban commands in dire emergencies when no Admins are online.
• Use the WorldEdit tool. (Curators should avoid using WorldEdit outside of their curated region, even when no staff are online)
• Note: These users have access to almost every administrative command, but do not have access to the staff chat channel. While they have access to use numerous commands, they may not abuse them. Curators who abuse their capabilities will have the rank removed immediately.

Staff are always on the lookout for experienced who have those special, indescribable qualities that would make one well suited for Curatorship. Applications for Curator will not be accepted. Exceptional build quality, high esteem among your fellow members and server staff, along with consistent time commitment to the server are must-haves for this position of responsibility.

Admin

Admins are considered aspects of the VoxelGod.

Admins (Also known as Staff) are part of the server's creative-development team. Do NOT mess with these people! Colored TEXT in game chat is a giveaway as to who these folks are.

Admins can...

• Do very nearly any and everything they deem neccesary on or relating to The Voxel Box.
• Make use of VoxelGod's energy vortices to create new accesses to areas of the Voxelverse.
