Assistant

A trusted active player who is knowledgeable about feather64 and willing to help.

Purpose

Assistants help players navigate feather64, with a focus on the new player experience and server knowledge, and have a seat at the table for staff discussions.

  • Proactively answer questions in chat and in the Discord #ask-a-question channel, not just when asked directly.
  • Help orient new players; correct misinformation in chat when you see it.
  • Participate in staff channel discussions about server changes and decisions.

Requirements

  • Age. At least 16 years old.
  • Tenure. Played feather64 for several months and intends to keep playing.
  • Knowledge. Familiar enough with feather64's tips, commands, and quirks to answer new-player questions.
  • Community. Active in-game and on Discord, playing as part of the community rather than in isolation.
  • Welcoming. Treats new players as members of the community, not as easy targets for raiding, tricking, or PVP.
  • Respectful. No slurs or excessive harassment.

Rules

  • No trickery. An assistant's role depends on trust, especially in chat. Assistants can still raid, steal, and PVP, but not through insiding, fake alliances, TP tricking, etc. No player should feel tricked by an assistant. Some retaliation is appropriate against established players. For example, if a player is spamming malicious TP requests, it's fair for the assistant to accept and kill or trap them. Responding to malicious play isn't trickery.
  • No role advantage. Don't use your staff role to aid your gameplay, especially griefing & raiding.
  • No directions. Don't give players directions. Only mods and admins can direct players.

Commands

/tip <tip> <player>Show a detailed tip to a specific player.
/broadcast <tip>Broadcast a short tip to all online players.
/sc <message>Staff-only private chat.
/warp assTeleport to the assistant room.

Perks

  • Blue name Visible in-game and on Discord, easy for new players to spot.
  • Extra homes Extra homes beyond donor max. Set with /sethome <name>.
  • Blue item names Color any item name blue by prefixing it with <ass> in an anvil.

Moderator

A trusted player who enforces the rules. Monitors players, investigates reports, and issues bans when warranted.

Purpose

Moderators investigate suspect play, gather evidence, and issue bans when warranted, primarily for hacking.

  • Monitor active play for rule breaking and suspect behavior.
  • Investigate reports and anti-cheat alerts; act on confirmed rule breaking.
  • Participate in staff channel discussions about server changes and decisions.

Rules

  • Privacy. Moderators may see private player information and may not share it outside staff channels.
  • No role advantage. Don't use your staff role to aid your gameplay.
  • No raiding or griefing. Moderators may not raid or grief other players.

Mod Tools

Tools

  • Vanish Hides the moderator. Invisible to players, mobs, and projectiles. Many mod commands require the mod to be vanished.
  • Logging Records every block and item placed, broken, or used on the server. Lookups filter by player, time range, or radius.
  • Ban management Issues, tracks, and reverses bans. Each ban automatically covers the account, current IP, and known alts.
  • Cheat detection In-game and Discord alerts when a player triggers an anti-cheat flag. Anti-cheat never bans players and isn't used as proof alone.

Ban Protocol

Feather64 aims for 100% certainty before every ban.

Introduction

Hi, I'm Zerek. I started feather64 in 2011 when I was 15. The server has been my main outlet for learning and growing as a programmer over the years: plugin development, website work, server administration, and a lot of debugging in between. I write the custom plugins running here and built this website. The part I enjoy most, though, is providing a community where people meet and make real friends.
