LabourCraft is a survival role-playing server based on working your way to the top and earning your freedom. You start out as a criminal, sentenced to work in a work camp until you can post your bail. Cops patrol the camp and take away any illegal items you may be carrying, but there's nothing stopping you from stabbing a fellow worker in the back when they have their head turned. You start out doing general mundane tasks, but as you advance in the camp, the money to be made and ways of doing so increase exponentially.
Ranks
Labourer (Free)
The first rank of the camp. Money is tight and alliances are crucial in your survival. You have the ability to generate money, but generally only through performing mundane tasks.
Worker($10,000)
Your hard work is starting to pay off. You've slaved away in the coal mine for hours to achieve this block, and money is starting to come easier. As reward for your hard work, you are granted access to a dirt mine with better ores, a melon farm and improved security.
Prospector ($50,000)
You've reached the top rank of the camp. You have gained the respect of your peers and are well known around camp. You worked hard to get here, and the reward is plentiful. Access to an much improved quarry, mob farm, and pumpkin farm await you. Your freedom is so close you can taste it.
Civilian ($100,000)
You've worked countless hours in the mines towards this goal, and finally you have achieved your freedom. It wasn't cheap, but after posting your bail, you're finally free to roam around the free world. Make a base, kill some mobs, cook some pork, the possibilities are limitless.
Officer(Apply below)
Your job is to protect the workers. You constantly patrol camp grounds and confiscate contraband and stop fights and riots that break out on the grounds - by any means necessary - including deadly force. Prospector rank must be attained prior to applying. Officers are not players, and may not mine or participate in normal prison activities - they may, however, participate in events. Officers may not leave the prison grounds. Access to mute and jail commands.
Sheriff (Min 2 weeks officer, upon Warden discretion)
You are now an elite member of the camp staff. Your skills in combat are well-known and workers both respect and fear you. You have served as an Officer for a long time, and have been given a lot of responsibilities from the owner. Sheriffs are not players, and may not mine or participate in normal prison activities - they may, however, participate in events. Sheriffs patrol the wild, unlike officers. Access to mute, jail, tempban, ban, teleport and spawn commands.
Moderator (Min 2 weeks play time and rank of Civilian, Apply below)
A highly sought after position, second only to the Warden, it is a Moderator's duty to help new players, keep chat clean, manage the prison, and much more. They are no different than a normal civilian, and are able to participate in all player activities (PvP, events, mining, etc.)
Warden(Rank of Sheriff or Moderator, upon Sr Warden discretion)
Wardens of the camp keeps everything running smoothly and is second in command to the Sr. Warden. Wardens lay down the law and very adept at what they do. Whether its building something new or laying down the law, Wardens are always busy. To attain Warden, you must have a lot of playing time.
SrWarden (BK)
The owner and creator of the work camp and back-end server administrator, the SrWarden runs the show. What he and LondonPurdy say goes, their word is law and getting on their bad side is not advised.
Donators keep the server running, and for that they are rewarded! Aside from our undying love and gratitude, you also receive access to the donor block, which includes an ore-covered mine, private enchanting and brewing areas, private housing, farmland, no PvP and never ending bonuses. Donors are able to choose their name color, fortifying their awesomeness in-chat. Access to all these great features runs you only $5.00 per month via PayPal, and all of that money goes towards server upgrades for more slots and speed! It is not mandatory, nor do we force it, however we would never be able to run the server without you.
Prestige (Civilian -> P1 -> Veteran)
We're proud to state that LabourCraft is the first prison to offer a prestige system. Once you have attained Civilian, you'll be able to rank up to Labourer once again in an effort to achieve veteran. The prestige system offers a challenge, as all rank prices have increased. For more information, see in-game.
Be warned, stockpiling items or cash (in chests OR with another player) prior to prestiging will result in immediate loss of rank (demotion to worker), inventory wipe, money wipe and possibly a temporary ban. Receiving external aid after prestiging is strictly prohibited and will result in the loss of trust and ability to prestige. During prestige, you may not accept monetary aid (or significant items resulting in monetary gain). Plots will be cleared upon prestiging manually, do not store items on it or build after prestiging until it has been cleared.
