Staff Ranks
Staff are volunteers who keep the server running smoothly. They’re players first and staff second. Staff commands are not listed in the Commands page as they are not available to regular players.
Helper
The entry-level staff role. Helpers focus on answering questions from new players, moderating chat, and escalating issues to senior staff.
Moderator
Full moderation powers. Moderators handle player reports, grief investigations and rollbacks, and event organisation.
Admin
Admins manage the server’s backend, plugins, and major decisions. Appointments are made by Ownership only.
Owner
The founding team of WitchCraftMC. Final authority on all server decisions.
How to Apply for Staff
Staff applications open periodically. When applications are open:
- Check the
#staff-applicationschannel on Discord for the current form link. - Fill out the application honestly — we can tell when answers are exaggerated.
- Applications are reviewed by Admins and Owners. You’ll hear back within 1–2 weeks.
What We Look For
- Genuine helpfulness — do you already help other players without the tag?
- Maturity and patience — can you handle conflict without escalating it?
- Availability — we need staff across different timezones.
- Familiarity with the server — you should have at least 20 hours of playtime and know the rules well.
