A Build Team Guide
Hello builders & tributes,
Today I am writing to you an official thread on tips when creating a build team. Please remember that this thread format does not need to be followed when creating your build team. It is only here to give you some tips to possible receive more applicants and make your build team more known.
So here are a few things we are going to cover when you are reading this thread and a couple of things that you should take away from this text. Some things we are going to cover is:
- Thread Formatting
- Build Team Structure
- Build Team Rank Hierarchy
- Build Team Graphics
- Advertising The Team
- Finding The Right People
- And More!
1. Never Steal Builds
You should never steal builds when you are owning a team or applying for one. When you steal builds it makes your team look overly bad and no one will want to apply for your team.
2. Never Break The MCGamer Rules When Creating Your Team
If you break MCGamer rules when creating your team your team could be disbanded by administration and will give your team a very harsh reputation.
3. Never Cause Flame
If you cause flame between other teams or within your team your team could break up, get a bad reputation, or be disbanded by administration. So please be careful when replying on other peoples threads.
Creating Your Team
Team Structure:
When creating your team you will need to keep in mind a few things:
- Where am I going to get a server from?
- What will be our form of communication?
- How many team members should I be expecting?
Now let's talk about server communications. Now let's say you just got a server and you want to know how to format it / structure it into a build team. There are many ways you can go about this situation but one plugin that I advise you use is plotme & multiworld. Both of these plugins are useful in many ways, the plotme plugin is useful because it provides unlimited little squares that an individual user can build on to practice. This would increase your builders skills and hopefully get them prepared for the next project. Multiworld is a plugin that allows you to create multiple worlds that can be flat, normal, empty, ext. When you have this plugin like I said you can create worlds, then start your projects on them for whatever you sigh to build. If you would like to download plotme or mulitworld you can download them here:
PlotMe: Download
Multiworld: Download
Multiverse(Just the same as multiworld but more compatible with PlotMe): Download
Team Rank Hierarchy:
Having a staff hierarchy is very vital to a build team. Without a ranking system the teams power would be out of control and there would be no order within the staff team. You will need to make this ranks interesting, and assigning different talks depending were they are in the ranking system. Here is what an example staff hierarchy would look like:
1. Owner
2. Admin
3. Manager
4. Old Timer
5. Builder
And this is just an example, it does not need to be what your ranking system should look like, just to give more of a rough idea. When distributing power you should be able to rank up a user based on what your assets are within the upper class team. Then when you feel that the time is right then you could rank up a user.
Thread Formatting:
When you format your thread you want to make it desirable for applicants. When you format your thread you may want to have to following information:
- Name Of Team
- Server Info & Possibly TeamSpeak Info
- What Your Team Is About
- Members Of Your Team
- Application To Get In
- Ending Speech

Name:
Age:
Why do you want to join our team?:
Those are some useful things that you can have on your thread that will most likely attract players but also make your team look professional.
Build Team Graphics & Display
On a build team thread and server one thing that stands out is a logo! When you have a logo one, it will make your team look very professional, and two, attract players to your team. Make sure your that you do not just get your logo from paint.net and just draw the team name. Make sure you have someone professional making your build team graphics, because the better it is the more attraction it will bring to your thread.
Also, please keep in mind to have some back up graphics for a server icon and what not, because if someone sees the server icon and name it could also make the attraction of the team become more known.
Advertising The Team
When you advertise the team you don't want to be obnoxious or break any MCGamer rules when advertising your build team. When you break rules or be obnoxious it will make you and your team look less desirable and less and less people will want to join your team. Methods are to positively remind people and show off your team in friendly way.
Finding The Right People
When you are accepting people into your build team you want to insure that those team members are a assortment of qualities like:
- Trustable
- Talented
- Friendly
Ending
Just remember to keep a friendly atmosphere and always be kind to others within the build team community.
Thank you for reading and hope you got some useful information out of this.
If there is anything you think I should add please feel free to message me or inbox me here on the forums. Have a great day here on the MCGamer Network!
