The {{Rank|Staff|}} rank was first created after former head moderator j0n_r4ng resigned from his position. For a while he was the only one to hold the rank, until all non-server staff (who were discord moderators, discord admins, and the patreon headmod, since at that time, a website staffteam was almost nonexistent) and former headmods were granted it in late 2018. The rank was later disolved entierly with the separation of the server and discord teams in late December 2019. Prior to the creation of {{Rank|WebAdmin}}, {{Player|OD18}} held this role until December 2020. The {{Rank|Staff|}} rank was light blue, and was not a moderatorial role on the server.  
The {{Rank|Unlinked}} rank existed until December 2023 and the launch of Survival 6 because account linking is now carried out before joining the server. Heavily limited in permissions, this rank simply identified players who had not completed account linking.

Role Icon Minecraft Server Head Moderator.png

Ranks on the Dogcraft server are tags appended before usernames used to identify certain groups of players, including members of the Staff Team and Patreons. Some ranks grant special privileges to members (such as moderator tools for Server Moderators); others are purely cosmetic. Aside from the automatically-applied ones, Server Administrators are the only users capable of assigning players ranks. Several ranks correspond to a role on the Dogcraft Discord

The default rank for new players is the [CyberDog] rank when they successfully login after completing account linking and verification.

Patreon Ranks

[DiamondPatreon] The Diamond Patreon rank is automatically assigned to players who have linked their Dogcraft, Minecraft and Patreon accounts and have pledged up to the Diamond Tier reward level on ReNDoG's Patreon. Holders of this role are also automatically whitelisted on the Patreon Server.

It has also been given out on rare occasions as thanks to certain Cyberdogs for their contributions to the community. The rank can not be generally acquired by others anymore.
Pioneer.png [Pioneer] The [Pioneer] rank is light blue. It is held by a small group of people and was given out in two waves.
  • The first wave of people to receive the rank were beta-testers for the server in the time the server was whitelisted and being tested, between the 28th of September to the 14th of November, 2015.
  • The second wave of people to receive the rank were given it on the 2nd of August, 2019, who were given the rank for assistance in testing the server update to Minecraft 1.14: Village & Pillage. Testing was done for this version as the server changed its setup to rely on a different proxy service. Players involved in this 1.14 testing in their capacity of Staff Members were not granted the Pioneer rank.

Retired Ranks

Unlinked

The [Unlinked] rank existed until December 2023 and the launch of Survival 6 because account linking is now carried out before joining the server. Heavily limited in permissions, this rank simply identified players who had not completed account linking.

Helper

The [Helper] tag was light red with cyan brackets. It was held by a collection of typically 3 people at a time (known as Helpers) who were appointed by the Server Head Moderators, based on staff suggestions, to assist players with server functions such as commands, linking and answering questions. However, helpers were never officially members of the Dogcraft staff team and didn't have any additional powers or privileges. Helpers were appointed on a monthly basis before a new set of people are appointed.

The role was discontinued in December 2023 and the launch of Survival 6 as account linking is now carried out before players can join the server (rendering an in-game role useless).

Patreon

Prior to Survival 4, all Patreons were represented by the [Patreon] rank, regardless of their Patreon level.

Swedish Potato

The [Swedish Potato] rank was held exclusively by fellow Hermitcraft YouTuber and streamer, Iskall85. The rank was confirmed to exist by Head Moderator [20.png SummerFlower1234 ], though few players can recall actually seeing it as Iskall last logged onto the server for mini-games a long time ago. According to SummerFlower, the rank tag is light blue like the [Staff] and [Pioneer] tags and simply says "Swedish Potato". The rank was likely purely cosmetic. As of Survival 4, moderator tools have found that this rank no longer exists.
