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 may also determine a number of permissions levels for users, as outlined below.
This is the Currently Available list of ranks. Other ranks can be found on the Server Ranks/Historical page.
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.

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!
