Minecraft Server Discord Template: Channels and Roles

Who this is for

This template fits survival, SMP, minigame or modded servers with a Discord for players. It pairs with the Minecraft servers page. If you plan to sell ranks or perks, read the Minecraft shop article and check Mojang rules on what you can sell.

Channels

Roles and ranks

Match staff roles to what each person does on the game server, so Discord does not give more power than the game.

Noxyr setup

1. Add the verify button with /verify setup and give the Player role.
2. Post a ticket panel with /ticketsetup panel and use one panel for reports and another for appeals. See ticket bot.
3. Create a staff application with /application create, add questions with /application question-add and post with /application post. See applications.
4. Set warning steps with /warn step so repeat offenders are timed out.
5. Run /security health, then add polls and scheduled event reminders.
6. If you sell perks, add a catalog with /catalog setup.

Bans and appeals

Keep a clear written policy. A short appeal form in a ticket gets you the player name, the reason and what they say happened. Review it with another moderator before changing anything. Keep the log in #punishments so the whole team sees the same history.

Common mistakes

• Posting the server IP everywhere. Keep it in one channel.
• Letting unverified accounts see staff channels.
• Making Helper and Moderator the same role. Keep the ladder clear.

Between game sessions

Players who log off still check Discord. Use #announcements for updates, a weekly event post and a poll for the next build contest. Use a sticky message in #server-info so the join steps stay at the bottom of the channel, and keep the version and IP in one place so you can change them once.

Staff ladder

Start new staff as Helper, promote to Moderator after a trial, and review the list every few months. A staff application form with questions about experience, time zone and weekly hours makes the choice less about who you know and more about what they wrote. Rejected applicants get a polite note and can reapply after the cooldown you set.

First week checklist

• Test the verify button with an alt account.
• Pin the join steps in #server-info with screenshots.
• Schedule a weekly event post with /schedule message.
• Never post your staff list publicly with real names or contact details.

Keeping staff safe and fair

Staff should act as a team, not as friends of one player. Write down what each action needs, such as proof for a ban, and keep notes in the punishment log. If two moderators disagree, the lead decides and the reason is written down. Players trust a server where the same rule gets the same result.
