How do you earn a free rank?

  • Vote. /vote opens the four vote sites, and you can vote up to 4 times a day.
  • Each vote gives one vote rank point, one Vote Key and one Vote Token.
  • A rank unlocks automatically when your vote total reaches it. There is nothing to redeem.
  • /voteranks shows the ladder and your total, and /ranks opens all three rank tracks.
  • Voting is gated by real time, so nobody can rush the ladder. Cartographer is a long goal: the server's design target is about a year of daily voting.

What are the 20 vote ranks?

Every rank also has its own chat tag. Homes, shops and warps are how many you can have at that rank. Claim blocks are a one-time bonus at each rank-up.

What are the Elite ranks?

Five Elite ranks are bought with vanilla blocks in /eliteranks, in order: each one needs the rank before it. No plugin tracks these blocks; the menu takes them from your inventory. A stack is 64.

Up to 4 times a day, across the four vote sites. Each vote gives one vote rank point, one Vote Key and one Vote Token.

Parrot, a paid rank, and Wolf above it. Bee and Fox players still lose their items on death. Everyone keeps their inventory in the /arena PvP world.
