Apply for Staff

Help keep our server fun and safe - apply to join our team today!

Thank you for your interest in a Burg Kurg staff position! There are two positions available to apply for: Moderator and Administrator.

As a Moderator (or "Mod"), you will enforce the rules to keep Burg Kurg a safe, fun, and enjoyable place for everyone. You'll do your best to ensure racial slurs won't enter the chat (and ban any player who attempts), help keep chat calm and prevent chat flame wars, prevent explicit builds from being created (and remove any that you notice), and, in extreme circumstances, be one of many to report to for serious offenses, such as a player being sexually harassed on our server or one of our affiliated means of communication (such as our Discord).

As an Administrator (or "Admin"), you will assume the responsibilities of a Moderator, but also help out with technical aspects, such as server troubleshooting and plugin configuration. Anyone who earns this position knows the server very well, understands the concepts of custom server software (Specifically, Paper, a fork of Paper, or a program Paper is a fork of, such as Bukkit or Spigot), has built good rapport with the community and staff, and has access to a device to work on the server.

Minimum Requirements:

To apply for a Staff Position, you must meet to following requirements:

Mod:

  • Be at least 14 years of age

  • Show good character and responsibility

  • Never received a ban on our server

  • Have played on Burg Kurg for at least 3 weeks (Real weeks, not in-game hours)

  • Have access to Discord, understand its basic functions, and how to get around the program.

  • Enjoy playing Survival Minecraft in general

  • Agree to the terms below

Admin:

  • Be at least 16 years of age

  • Show good character and responsibility

  • Never received a ban on our server.

  • Have played on Burg Kurg for at least 8 weeks (Real weeks, not in-game hours)

  • Enjoy playing Survival Minecraft in general

  • Have access to a Computer for technical work on the server

  • Understand how to access the server files via FTP

  • Understand how to configure plugins in YAML

  • Have access to AT LEAST Minecraft: Java Edition or Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for Windows 10 (i.e., you must primarily play on a computer)

  • Agree to the terms below

Terms:

  • I won't use creative mode or other privileges for my personal builds or to give myself items, regardless of their obscurity or legality

  • I won't use my position to help myself or another player cheat

  • I won't encourage toxic activities to any players, because that defeats the whole purpose of being a Moderator or Administrator

  • I won't abuse my privileges for my own self-gain or for or against other players AND staff

  • As an Admin, I:

    • Won't attempt to delete server files

    • Won't share player info with other players (specifically, their coordinates, their home (as in /home; we don't gather and have never gathered our player's precise real-world location!) coordinates, IP Address, etc), on the Internet, or with anyone at all (for these files must remain anonymous).

    • Won't restart the server when several players are on

      • If one or two players are on, I understand I must ask them first before restarting the server!

    • Will NEVER use the /reload command

    • Will NEVER stop the server without restarting it, unless permission has been explicitly given by the server owner (PJBeans)

  • I understand that violating these terms may result in me loosing my position as a Burg Kurg staff member.

If you made it this far, congratulations. Hopefully you read everything. If you didn't, I'm gonna guess you're just a player who wants to apply for a position just to access the special abilities of a Mod. Remember, if you abuse the abilities, you will loose your staff position. You can apply here for a position on our staff.
