List of Ranks
Ranks on Project City Build are broken into the four categories below, each distinguished by how promotions are earned. Players may hold up to one rank in each category simultaneously.
Community ranks
The following ranks reflect a player's participation in the PCB community.
Guest
Guest is the default rank assigned to new players who join the Minecraft server or view the website. Guests can build and play in Survival, and can also explore the Creative worlds and Monarch with basic commands like /warps and /tpa. Guests can become Members by using /register in-game and following the instructions. Guests do not have an in-game prefix.
■ Member
After registering a PCB account, players obtain the Member rank and gain the ability to build in the two Creative worlds. Members also unlock additional commands like /homes. Members are denoted in-game by the [M] prefix.
■ Trusted
The Trusted rank is earned by players who demonstrate consistent activity in the community and an understanding of PCB's values. With the introduction of builder ranks, Trusted now largely serves a ceremonial function. Because the rank has existed since the Java server's beginning, Trusted is held mostly by staff members and legacy players. Trusteds are denoted in-game by the [T] prefix.
Builder ranks
For detailed information about builder ranks and some visual examples, visit [this page].
The following ranks reflect a player's building skill demonstrated on the server. The ranks are earned sequentially and cannot be skipped over. To rank up, players submit an application (/rankup in-game) which is then reviewed by the Architects Council.
■ Builder
Builder is the first builder rank, earned by applicants who show an understanding of basic principles like depth, detail, scale, and palette. Builders are denoted in-game by the [B] prefix.
Builders gain access to the Sandbox flatworld (/warp sandbox). In the Sandbox, Builders can use and practice basic WorldEdit (or W/E) commands with a 150,000-block edit limit. This rank does not grant W/E permissions in the Creative worlds. Builders are also eligible to build in Monarch, PCB's premier city-building project. Guidelines for building in Monarch can be found here.
■ Planner
Planner is the natural progression from Builder, earned by applicants who have a great understanding of the fundamentals of building. Planners create larger, cohesive projects with a sense of theme or style and longterm goals. They are denoted in-game by the [P] prefix.
Planners also show a strong handling of WorldEdit commands, and as such, earn W/E permissions in the Creative worlds with a 250,000-block edit limit. Their block edit limit is additionally removed in the Sandbox.
■ Engineer
Engineer is the rank earned by applicants with an impressive proficiency across types of Minecraft building. They can work at scales both large and small whether they're dealing with structures, terrain, organics, detail, or anything else. Engineers are creative and innovative, meeting any challenge with confidence. They are denoted in-game by the [E] prefix.
This rank is meant to be difficult to obtain! Engineers are hardworking and thorough, and as such, have nearly unlimited W/E permissions across the whole server.
■ Architect 🏛️
Architect is the only builder rank that cannot be applied for. Players and Staff are both eligible to become Architects, but both must earn the rank through merit alone. New Architects are chosen by the current Architects Council out of the pool of Engineers. Because Architects are the deciders for all builder rank promotions, they must possess not just a mastery of building, but also the ability to critique with care and help other players improve their own skills. They are denoted in-game by the [A] prefix.
Aside from the responsibility of reviewing applications, Architects do not gain any additional permissions in-game.
Donation ranks
❤ Donator
The Donator rank is for players who make a generous contribution to help keep the server running. The rank is divided into three tiers (Copper, Iron, and Diamond), each with additional perks, based on the amount a player contributes monthly. Donators are denoted in-game by the [$] prefix, regardless of their tier.
Donator perks include an increased number of homes with /homes, custom in-game nicknames with /nick, and various QOL movement commands. If you are interested in becoming a Donator, visit this page!
Staff ranks
For a list of current Staff members, visit [this page].
The following ranks are held by the team of people that keep Project City Build up and running. If you are interested in joining Staff, talk to a current Staff member and submit an application.
✦ Staff
Staff are the server's moderation and support team. They help guide new players on the server, resolve issues in the community, and enforce the server's rules across Minecraft, Discord, and other PCB services. In addition to these baseline responsibilities, Staff members can be a part of any of three teams with special focuses. Staff are denoted in-game by the [Staff] prefix, regardless of their team.
Events
The Events Team plans and hosts events on the server like the World Expo.
Marketing
The Marketing Team handles PCB's social media profiles and other outreach projects to advertise the server.
Technical
The Technical Team maintains PCB's infrastructure, helping the server keep up with the latest Minecraft updates.
✦ Administrator
Administrators are the highest-ranking staff members. They process player reports, direct large-scale server projects, and manage the staff team as well as other internal functions. Administrators may also be a part of the Events, Marketing, or Technical teams. They are also denoted in-game by the [Staff] prefix, but hovering over the prefix will show "Administrator" instead of "Staff".
