What is Sunverse?
Completely original minigames designed, developed, and tested in-house. A Creative Realms system that combines the customization and interactivity of instance-based housing with the freedom of classic creative servers. A beautiful and highly functional website featuring our web and graphic design talent. A mighty player achievement and statistics tracking infrastructure. Servers hosted on our terminals and ready to scale up. A solid marketing plan. All this and more is what you'll find at Sunverse. These features are not hypothetical, and working prototypes exist for each--we're having fun creating and testing them! We're hobbyists looking to create a server that's fun for anyone to play and build a community that we can be proud of.
About Our Positions
These are not paid roles. All of our current administrators, developers, and builders are working on this project as volunteers, and all have stayed because they enjoy being part of our staff team/community and working on the server. We're all people with lives and obligations of our own and are running Sunverse as a hobby because we like doing it and have the skills to do it well. If that sounds like you, we'd be glad to have you with us. We want to turn a profit, of course, but that goal is secondary to creating a quality server with a quality community. With that said, we do know that this site is primarily a marketplace and that many of you may not want to do volunteer work. That's totally fine! All we ask is that you don't give us grief about it, especially on this thread--if you're not interested, you're not interested. Keep things positive!
But that's not to say you don't get perks!

But that's not to say you don't get perks!
- A refreshingly friendly and dedicated team to work with. You won't find power-trippers or wannabe cutthroat-businessmen here.
- We will adjust to your schedule. Strict time requirements, especially for volunteer roles, aren't useful, and we won't let your position on a block game server interfere with your life. All we ask is that you're readily available to contact--and that you put out consistent, high-quality work.
- Form lasting friendships with our talented existing admins, devs, and builders. We're excited to meet you!
- Access to a wide range of commands depending on your role (developers have more debug authority compared to community admins, who are more focused on punishment/staff tools.)
- Our current developers occasionally add fun "novelty" commands for admins to play around (and amaze players) with.
- Are you tired of standard XenForo rank ribbons? Ascend to a higher level of cosmetic recognition with our hand-designed forum avatar frames! (Builder frame pictured below.)
You get the gist. We want to make your experience working with us a great one.
So, without further ado, we're looking for builders of these categories to join the SVN Build Team:
------------------------------------------------
Network Builder
As a network builder, you'll be creating maps for all of Sunverse games and game-modes. Sunverse's mission statement is essentially originality so we're looking for builders who can provide over-the-top and wonderful builds.
What you'll be doing before release:
As a network builder, you'll be creating maps for all of Sunverse games and game-modes. Sunverse's mission statement is essentially originality so we're looking for builders who can provide over-the-top and wonderful builds.
What you'll be doing before release:
- Designing and building maps for games and game modes
- Working with our existing build team to maintain high-caliber structures throughout our servers
- Using asynchronous WorldEdit and VoxelSniper to create high-quality maps
- Pretty much exactly the same as before!
- Consistently creating maps for the network
- Optional assistance within build team sub-teams
- Collaborating on lobby redesigns for seasonal events
- Build in a variety of styles; try new things!
- Experience in WorldEdit and VoxelSniper
- Experience in Multiverse Worlds (preferred)
- Experience in high-caliber projects and builds
- An updated portfolio with screenshots (w/o shaders)
- An open mind and a creative mind-set
------------------------------------------------
Additional Note on Compensation
At the moment, only certain members on the team that reach a certain skill-set will be paid. Hours on the build server are logged and the payout will be monthly based on the project. To those who are volunteers, you will eventually be paid, hours will still be logged for record reasons. To compensate for this, however, we are happy to accommodate your schedule--we'll make sure that your volunteer work for a block game doesn't interfere with your job, uni, or other real-world obligations.
------------------------------------------------
Application Process
We don't discriminate by gender, sexual orientation, or time zone, but we do have a minimum age requirement of 16 years old for administrative positions.Additional Note on Compensation

------------------------------------------------
Application Process
We don't impose the 16+ administrative age requirement because we think younger users aren't talented or "mature" enough to do administrative jobs-- they can and they have. We impose it because our administrative team is mostly 17+, and we just don't think it's appropriate to bring on significantly younger administrators for a variety of reasons. To MC-Market members 15 and below, we're sorry for the inconvenience, but this policy has worked for us elsewhere and we'll be holding to it here.
Additionally, we strongly prefer that you commit yourself to Sunverse for the duration of your time as an administrator (i.e. don't hold staff positions on other servers at the same time as your SVN admin tenure.) While we're willing to make exceptions for extremely talented and organized candidates, especially in the pre-release phase, we've found that it's more fulfilling for everyone involved if there aren't any conflicts of time and interest within a staff team.
If you are interested in one or more of these positions, please fill out this form here. Well, that's about it. Whether we get a hundred applicants or zero, we thank you for taking the time to read this post. Feel free to ask us questions on this thread or via Discord. You may contact Glummes#6687 on Discord if you have any questions or concerns.
We hope to see you on our team!
Regards,
Glummes
