Helpers excel in assisting new players with plugin resources and other helpful information to accelerate their acclimation to the server.

Mods ensure the seamless operation of the server, maintaining a family-friendly environment by taking action against rule violators. Their duties include invalidating problematic auctions, monitoring and managing chat interactions, and supporting fellow staff members.
Staff are expected to read documentation thoroughly. If you’re applying for a position, please tell us about your favorite Minecraft update in the last section of the application.
Moderators possess world edit capabilities, enabling them to assist players with placing purchased catalog builds and making simple modifications.
Mods act as a first line of defense in screening and directing inquiries or issues to the appropriate channels, ensuring that player concerns are efficiently addressed. As part of their work, they audit players, taking immediate corrective action when necessary. In doing so, moderators embody a commitment to the well-being of the player base, striving to provide support and assistance to players to the best of their abilities.
