Staff Guide to 3.0

### **What if I have a mod I think I should be able to use?**

Send the mods a GAMPDYGRAM, or as others call it "modmail." You can find it below the subreddit header, or by clicking here.
 The staff on CivEx is very good at handling GAMPDYGRAMs, and should
respond to you within the day of messaging them. If not, feel free to
resend your PM.

### **How do I know what is claimed or how the map looks?**

The most recent claims map will always be linked in the sidebar.

### **Is there an official map?**

No, all maps are, and always will be player made.

### **How do I protect my chests and blocks/why are chests locked and blocks unable to be broken?**

On CivEx, we use a multitude of serverside plugins. One of these is Citadel.

Citadel is a plugin that allows players to lock chests privately, or
to all but a specific group, allowing for protection from grief and
providing for public chests within towns, and used to help protect
player items and buildings.

By using smooth stone, iron, emeralds, or diamonds, you can reinforce
 a block to either your private group, or a group of friends you can
allow access to. When reinforcing a block, you loose the resource that
reinforces it in the process, but you will get it back when you break
the block with Citadel bypass mode. You can also reinforce chests,
furnaces, doors, and any block that isn't bedrock.

Here is a table of reinforcement levels.

 Iron ingot
 Emerald
 Diamond

A full list of Citadel commands can be found here.

However, a few of the more common commands are as followed:

### What is Dedication? Why can't I break these blocks/PvP/use lava or flint and steel?

Dedication is a custom plugin for CivEx that stops raiders and
griefers from doing damage until they’ve accrued a certain amount of
playtime. This prevents people from getting their friends online solely
to raid. There's a few important commands to know, but by playing CivEx
naturally and using general Minecraft actions, you should easily gain
Dedication. (Note: If you get banned for any reason other than
multi-accounting [since that often happens when a sibling plays on CivEx
 as well], you will have to earn Dedication again.)

### **How can I monitor who is in an area, or what blocks have been broken?**

JukeAlert allows you to to create craftable snitches by reinforcing
jukeboxes and note blocks to log player movement (and block use) in an
area.

Noteblocks and jukeboxes that have been reinforced to a Citadel group are called *snitches.*
 A jukebox tells you when someone enters an 11 block radius around the
block, and records data of what actions they do for review. Noteblocks
are the cheaper alternative, but only tells you when someone enters the
11 block radius around the block.

Here is a list of a few commands:

 /jainfo <pagename>
 /jalist

### Why are my crops not growing?

CivEx uses the RealisticBiomes plugin. This affects food growth,
animal reproduction, weather events, and adds temperature to the game.
Each biome gives bonuses and debuffs to crop growth rates- each crop
grows at a different rate in different biomes.

### **So, now what?**

If you're ready to play, download any version of Minecraft 1.10 and simply log using the server IP **mc.civexperiment.com**.

### Is there anything else I should read?

Yes, actually. Make sure you read over the sidebar, all of the
server's most important information is located there. You can
additionally check the wiki here
 to get more in-depth answers to questions. If there's any questions
that you have after reading both of these resources, don't be afraid to
post on the subreddit asking for more information, or modmail here.

Since you took the time to read all this, we'll share some info with you- the crafting recipe for a saddle can be found here.
