Who is ReNDoG?
This website is dedicated to ReNDoG. Most of you will probably know who he is, but in case you don't, we'll introduce him to you. ReNDoG is a youtuber who focuses on producing child friendly content for anyone to enjoy. His content is primarily Minecraft, but he's uploaded plenty of content on other amazing games as well.

What are the rules?
Being part of an online community, a website or anything of the like does often mean there are some rules that need to be followed. The same can be said about Dogcraft. The rules we have, have been set up by ReNDoG and the Staff Team to ensure the community is as pleasant as it can be for its members. Please take the time to carefully read through them so you can make sure you don't accidentally break them. Not abiding by these rules may result in a warning or ban.
The DogCraft Dollar (DCD) is a form of currency used on Dogcraft and can be obtained in various ways. On the Minecraft Server, the symbol Đ also denotes the currency. Your balance can be viewed in game through the /balance command or on the main website in your profile.
This FAQ section is a good place to start, you'll find answers to the most commonly asked questions. Furthermore, you can view our series of guides we have available on performing important tasks, such as linking your account and claiming land. Finally, you can also search for a topic on the Dogcraft Wiki through the search bar in the top right.
If you have a more serious issue, please do not hesitate to contact a member of staff. Staff can be found on the Dogcraft Discord, so feel free to message them. They are also available on the server, denoted by their special ranks on the server.
Someone just broke a rule! Help, what do I do?
Even though the community is moderated and people mostly abide by the rules, this can unfortunately happen at times. The best course of action is to first check if a member of staff is around and working on it. If so, you should have nothing to worry about. If not, document the offence by taking a screenshot and messaging a member of staff, or using the report function available on the main site.
The issue will be looked into as soon as possible and we thank you for your help, it is appreciated. We strongly advise against dealing with the issue yourself to prevent you from getting warned for back-seat moderating, but if you can't resist the urge, please continue with caution and the awareness you might be breaking a rule yourself.

⬤ Head Mod
; either briggsmech, Princess223 or Summerflower1234 (if messaging more than one, please add all names to the one message).
They will look over the events, discuss it with the rest of Staff, and a resolution might be found. If you have received a temporary ban, you may also appeal in the same way to reduce your sentence.
When is the Server being updated to the latest version?
A new version of Minecraft is out? Awesome! When will the Server update? Unfortunately, updating a Server isn't as easy as updating your Minecraft client; a lot more goes into it than meets the eye. Most Minecraft Servers, including ours, use a lot of plugins to make the server work the way it does. All of these need to be updated to work with the most recent version of Minecraft. Some of those are under our control, but for most plugins we need to wait for the developers to release a new version. These new versions all need to be stable and bug-free. After that they all need to be installed and tested on the Server to make sure everything works as it should, this takes a lot of time and effort. All in all, we can't tell exactly when the Server will be updated, but we try our best to get it done as fast as possible, but most importantly as smoothly as possible. Please be patient and keep an eye out on the Dogcraft Discord #announcements channel for any information! Dogcraft Discord
Is the Server down? Is Dogcraft.net down?
Maintenance is typically pre-announced in our Discord, so if you think the server or website is down check the announcements channel for any maintenance postings first. If nothing has been announced, you can check our service status page here. Thank you for your patience. Service StatusDogcraft Discord

Does ReNDoG play on the Server?
Yes, he occasionally streams UHC events from the server or just gets on to have a chat with the community. Keep an eye out on his Twitter for updates on when he's going to be starting a stream from the server! However, be advised, he does not do this very often as he is extremely busy; so please don't join with that expectation in mind.
What is the Helper rank and how is it obtained?
The [Helper] rank is a special rank held by three unique people each month. The purpose of this rank is to grant players who the staff have observed to be very helpful in the community the ability to help players with basic tasks. The tasks include helping new players to link, showing them around, helping them with commands and overall provide general information about the server. Every month, the helpers are selected by the Headmods, usually on the first of the month, and otherwise a few days later if there's any delay. It is important to note that this is not a staff rank, it is a title. The Head Moderators introduced this rank to take some of the workload off the moderators, especially in busy times such as when Rendog is streaming on the server. It cannot be applied for in any way, however if you wish to become one, being an extremely helpful rule-abiding Cyberdog is a great way to start!
You may use the #shameless-plugs channel to share your content with other Cyberdogs! In this channel, you may tag @Content to ping players who have opted-in to shameless plug pings. However, do note that we do not allow the advertising of other servers in this channel, and all content must be suitable for PG-13 audiences.
How do I "opt-out" of being pinged in #shameless-plugs?
To opt-out of being pinged by Cyberdogs sharing their content in #shameless-plugs, use the "Channels & Roles" menu located at the top of the server and deselect the @Content option. This will remove the
⬤ Content
role from you and stop you from being pinged. If you wish to add the content role back, simply re-select the option again.
