User Levels and Commands

In order to attain a user level on this server, you must earn it. Guest and Settler levels are accomplished by merely following the directions in the access page. Citizen level is attained by users who have been on the server more than 120 days. Architect and higher levels are earned by being recommended by other users on the basis of your participation, building skills, and general helpfulness. You can also earn higher ranks by participating in and winning contests. Do not ask to be promoted to a higher user level.

Level and Chat Color Description How to Earn
Guest (default)
Gray
Guests cannot build or do anything. Nearly all permissions are denied to guests, so do not be surprised if you cannot do something simple, such as eat food. You are free to walk around (or fly around in the creative worlds) to get an idea what this server is all about.

Command Description
/who Shows you who is online and the max no of users allowed
/me Allows you emotes such as “/me is tired
/spawn Return to spawn, get out of a stuck situation
/kit starter You can spawn a wooden sword to get your bearings (only works in Empire world)
/compass Show you which direction you are looking right now (S,E,W,N etc)
/suicide If you are lost, stuck or are feeling depressed, this is the method of last resort to start your life again in spawn. You however leave your inventory behind.
/sethome <place> /home <place> /delhome <place> Set up to homes you can return to anytime, from anywhere. Users have several homes depending on the userlevel. See the chart below to see how many. ATTENTION: Do not use names like 1 2 3 for your homes. If you delete home ’1′, your lot ’2′ will become ’1′. To avoid confusions use letters or names instead.
/warp [point] Instantly teleport to one of the server’s warp [point]s. Type /warp by itself to see a list of warp points. This only works when you are in the city
Successfully follow the whitelist instructions.
Settler
Yellow
Settler is the basic level which is actually permitted to build and given protected lots on this server. Settlers automatically also get additional commands so you can manage your lot. As a Settler, you can add people to your lot. These people are “members”. They cannot add others. You are the “owner”. If you add someone they can build on your lot as they wish and take things from chests. The lots are named “emp_a1″ or “flat_a1″ if it is A1. Use a wooden sword and right-click on your lot to find the name if you are not sure.

/msg, /tell Send a message a user with /msg <user> <message>
/money Deal with the in-game currency. See Money & Trading for details.
/lot add [lot_id] member [member] Adds a member to your lot
Example: Adding the user “uncovery” to your lot C15 in empire: /lot add emp_c15 member uncovery
/lot rem [lot_id] member [member] Removes a member from your lot
/lot <add/rem> [lot_id] snow Allows or denies snow to accumulate on the ground in snow biomes DonatorPlus only!
/lot <add/rem> [lot_id] ice Allows or denies ice to form on the water in snow biomes DonatorPlus only!
/headcount See how many animals there are in your lot and how much more you can breed. In worlds without lots this goes per chunk.

Masters can have 4 lots for themselves. Masters also have the ability to send users to a Jail.Jails are to be used as an emergency measure if someone starts griefing and I am not online. That way further damage can be prevented.

/tpahere Teleport people to you if they accept with /tpaccept
/jails List all jails. There can be several, and there are names for them.
/mod mute <player> [time] Mute a player in chat for any of the following: 1h, 30m, 15m, 10m, 5m or 1m. If no time is given, 1h mute is used. The player is automatically un-muted after the time passed.
/mod unmute <player> Unmute a player in chat
/tjail <username> <jailname> [time] Sends a user (for an optional specified time) to the named jail. Repeating /tjail <username> frees the user immediately.

A jailed user cannot use /home or /spawn until freed. Removing a user from jail will try to teleport the user back to where he was jailed from. The time argument is optional, and will override any previous set time. [time] should given in “years(y) months(mo) weeks(w) days(d) hours(h) minutes(m) seconds(s}”. You may omit blank parameters. For example: “2d 5h 30m”. Using tjail on a jailed player without a jail will adjust jail time or remove the player from jail

Be recommended by higher ranks, or win a level up in a contest.
Elder
Gold
Elders are a small group of people who prove through their dedication to the server, their maturity and the time they have been around that they deserve this title. Elders can be only elected if none of the existing elders objects to the candidate being an Elder. It takes quite something to become one, being one also means that you are ready to help the server wherever you can. The process of becoming an Elder has to be started through another Elder proposing a candidate. Elders also have the possibility to abandon a lot in order to consolidate all their lots into one contiguous lot cluster. To do that, talk to uncovery.

/tptoggle This switches the possibility of others teleporting to an elder on & off.
/ban <player> <reason> Ban a player for a specified reason.
/irc mute <player> Mute a player in the IRC chat. This is not a timed mute, please unmute people later! Also this only prevents their chat from appearing in-game, they can still talk in IRC to other players.
/irc ban #uncovery <player> Ban a player from the IRC chat. Please report bans.
/irc reload Attempt to re-connect the IRC bot in case it’s disconnected from the #Uncovery channel. Use with care.
Be nominated by an elder, have unanimous consent of existing Elders.

Donators If you donate to the server, you will keep your donator status for 1 month per 1 USD the server receives from you. Since Paypal takes a certain share of the money, you need to donate a bit more than 12 USD to make sure you get 12 months worth of donator level. Once you donate, you get the DonatorPlus (‘++’) level and the associated benefits. When your donation expires, you drop down to Donator (‘+’) level but keep that one forever. You can donate anytime again to extend your donator status. As a ++ donator, you get the ability to disguise yourself as a mob. Depending on your user rank, you can choose from a larger list of mobs to disguise as:

Userlevel mobs
SettlerDonatorPlus pig, sheep, cow, chicken
CitizenDonatorPlus all above & skeleton, wolf, villager
ArchitectDonatorPlus all above & ocelot, irongolem, spider
DesignerDonatorPlus all above & zombie, silverfish
MasterDonatorPlus all above & enderman, cat
ElderDonatorPlus all above & creeper, cavespider, squid

You can use the following commands to use this feature:

  • /dis pig ; disguise as a pig, replace pig with the other mob types above
  • /undis; Turns you back into human form if disguised
  • /dis; Will give you a list of all valid mob types

Disguised users cannot pickup goods, are still vulnerable to mobs, show up on the maps but do not show their name above their head in-game.
