Teacher Rank
The Teacher Rank is exclusively obtained from the Back to School Backpack, so you can’t get it anywhere else! The Teacher Rank has the equivalent perks of rank 4, in addition to the exclusive Teacher tag cosmetic.

You can use /prefix on any realm to change your tab and chat prefix to one of your currently owned limited rank tags. Use this to proudly show off your Teacher rank in chat for everyone to see!
Additional Information
- We have added a rule stating you cannot counter any cannon box from behind (commonly referred to as back countering) on our rule page. Please view the rule for more information.
- We have decreased the amount of walls allowed on a cannon box to 24 walls unless it is a cannon box within your base buffer (in which case it’s the same limit as before).
- In an effort to promote factions into not mining their spawners, the amount of spawner drops from spawners will be increased 1.5x along with the sell price of Blaze Rods increasing to $75 per blaze rod.
- We will be changing our spawner leveling system to instead take 24 hours to upgrade 10% until it reaches 40%, where it will then take 2 hours to upgrade 10% until the maximum spawner value (of 100%) is reached - resulting in it taking 4.5 days to max out spawner value.
- For the Raid Event, if multiple factions have the same /F Top value then the order of these factions will be determined by who has more Potential Top value.
- We will be limiting the length of spawnerchunks in a line to b due to the fact that the maximum base size is a 10 by 10.
- We will be giving out temporary ranks in the /ArchonPass to reward grinding and other methods throughout the server.
- We will be decreasing the roster size to 15.
- We will be running the same Cactus alongside Silverfish (Mycelium) economy.
Thank you everyone for another amazing map, see you all at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday for the Ruby reset!
