Players on Peaceful Vanilla Club earn Server Ranks based on the amount of their active playtime. Other player ranks may be earned from such things as editing wiki articles, winning special events, donating to the server, and joining unions.
Server Ranks determine a number of permissions levels for users, as outlined below.
Playtime Ranks
Playtime ranks are gained simply by actively playing on PVC. To check your playtime, use the /playtime command. Playtime does not include Away-From-Keyboard (AFK) time as Peaceful Vanilla Club uses AFK detection to prevent the use of AFK machines, etc.
| Rank | Playtime Requirement |
|---|---|
| Noob | 0 Minutes |
| Joined | 30 Minutes |
| Member | 1 Day |
| Senior | 4 Days |
| Baron | 9 Days |
| Duke | 14 Days |
| Lord | 22 Days |
| Sage | 35 Days |
| Princeps | 130 Days |
| Chancellor | 365 Days |
09463 (now known as Rylact) was the first player to reach the Princeps rank. (130 Days). Currently no one has reached Chancellor rank.
When a player reaches the Joined rank, they are given a free coal claim block and gain access to the /msg and /r commands.
When a player reaches eight hours of playtime, they are given two free coal claim blocks.
Donor Player Ranks
You may earn the donor rank by donating to the server. You can help support Peaceful Vanilla Club by visiting the official website!

| Donor | Donate a minimum of 5€ or redeem a Donor Rank Voucher. |
| [G] | Gold Tag - Spend money on donor or nickname vouchers and use the Voucher Tokens you redeem with them at the spawn shop. |
| [S] | Silver Tag - Similarly redeem these with Voucher Tokens. This tag costs less than the Gold Tag. |

| Rank |
Lapis (10x) |
Coal (32x) |
Redstone

Staff Ranks
Staff ranks are held by staff members. Asking to become a member of staff is against the rules. Applications are sometimes open and will be indicated via in-game chat and the server's discord. Staff are chosen by the server owners, Marshall_cpp, KingNeme, and zDavidMeson.
Staff members hold different command permissions based on their seniority. Among other things, staff are able to check block placement history, chest transaction history, chat history, and command history. Some staff are able to rollback areas of the server to undo actions made by users. Dependent on their staff rank, staff can and do issue punishments ranging from being muted in chat, jail time, permanent bans, and discord bans. For more information on staff, click here.
Read the rules and thank a staff member for keeping the server safe from griefers and other undesirables today!
