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 60 hours. 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.

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. If you stay away from the server for one month, your lots will reset.

Master Red To become master, you need to show the maturity and responsibility to handle moderation commands. You have to take an active interest into the servers future and help improving it by reporting bugs and proposing improvements. 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

ElderGold 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. As an Elder you represent the server like an ambassador. You are known to be levelheaded and to have a good sense of judgment. You won’t let your emotions come into the way when banning someone. 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.

/tptoggle This switches the possibility of others teleporting to an elder on & off.
/mod ban <player> <reason> Ban a player for a specified reason. Also sends an email with a logfile excerpt to Uncovery as documentation.
/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.

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 Donator (‘+’) level and the associated benefits. 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
SettlerDonator pig, sheep, cow, chicken
CitizenDonator all above & skeleton, wolf, villager
ArchitectDonator all above & ocelot, irongolem, spider
DesignerDonator all above & zombie, silverfish
MasterDonator all above & enderman, cat
ElderDonator 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.

Further, Donators from Architect and above level can prevent people to teleport to them by using the /tptoggle command.
