Safety Tools

Reporting Players: Using /report​

To ensure a safe and positive experience on the Crafting For Christ server, we provide multiple ways for players to report inappropriate behavior. You can report players directly in-game, on Discord, or via our website. Here’s how to use each reporting method:

In-Game Reporting with /report​

In Minecraft, you can report players directly by using the /report command. Here’s the format:

/report <username> <reason>
  • Username: The in-game name of the player you are reporting.
  • Reason: A brief explanation of the violation (e.g., "Harassment," "Offensive language").

Reporting on Discord using /report​

If you're active on our Discord server, you can also report players through the /report command. Use the following format:

/report <@username> <reason>

Just like in-game, provide the discord users @ and reason for the report.

Please note, you must have your Discord account connected to your Minecraft account for this method to work.

Reporting on Our Website​

You can also submit reports through our website using the following link: https://craftingforchrist.net/report

info

As with Discord reporting, your Discord account must be connected to your Minecraft account to submit a report.

What Happens After You Report​

Every report reaches our staff on Discord, including reports made with the in-game /report command, so you don't need a Discord account to report someone.

A staff member then picks it up:

  • Griefing: they log in, inspect what the reported player did, roll the damage back if the report holds, and issue a punishment.
  • Chat offences (such as swearing or harassment): they check the server-side chat logs and issue a punishment accordingly.

Our staff and players live across many time zones, so how quickly a report is picked up depends on who is awake. It's usually within a few hours, and sometimes longer overnight.

Want to hear back?

/report is the fastest way to reach staff, but it doesn't send you an update afterwards. If you'd like to hear back about what happened, open a support ticket on our Discord with /support create instead. Tickets let you report a player too.

Minecraft Social Interaction Screen​

The Minecraft Social Interaction Screen is a useful tool designed to help players maintain a safe and positive experience while playing on multiplayer servers. Here's a guide on how to use it and when to make the most of it to ensure your safety.

What is the Social Interaction Screen?​

The Social Interaction Screen allows players to manage communication with other players during multiplayer sessions. This screen can be accessed quickly and is primarily used to hide or report messages from players who may be engaging in inappropriate or offensive behavior. It helps you stay focused on your game while ensuring that negative interactions don't affect your experience.

How to Access the Social Interaction Screen​

  • In Multiplayer Games: Press the default key P to open the Social Interaction Screen.
  • You can also access this screen via the Pause Menu in multiplayer sessions.

Once opened, you will see a list of players who have sent chat messages recently or who are currently in your game.

Features of the Social Interaction Screen​

  • Hiding Messages from Players: If someone is spamming or being inappropriate in the chat, you can mute or hide their messages through the Social Interaction Screen. This ensures that you no longer see any future messages from them while playing, creating a more enjoyable environment.
  • Reporting Players for Abusive Messages: You can also report players if they send abusive or harmful messages in the chat. This feature helps ensure that players are held accountable for their behavior, protecting others from toxic interactions.
  • Managing Who You See in Chat: You can quickly search for players by name to either hide their chat or report their messages. This gives you more control over your interactions and keeps the chat positive.

When to Use the Social Interaction Screen​

  • When Someone is Making You Uncomfortable: If a player’s messages are making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, it's a good idea to hide their messages and report them if necessary. This ensures you don't have to endure harassment or inappropriate language.
  • If Someone is Bullying or Harassing You: Cyberbullying is a serious issue, and if someone is targeting you or another player with abusive messages, don’t hesitate to use the Social Interaction Screen to mute and report them. It's better to act early than to allow the behavior to continue.
  • To Stay Above Reproach in Conversations If an older player or stranger is engaging with you one-on-one, it's wise to use the Social Interaction Screen to avoid potentially compromising situations.

Staying Safe on Discord​

Direct Messages Aren't Seen by Staff​

Direct messages (DMs) on Discord are private between the people in them. Our staff can't see them. That means if someone makes you uncomfortable in a DM, nobody else will know unless you tell them.

If something happens in a DM:

  1. Stop replying.
  2. Take a screenshot of the messages.
  3. Report it using /report in our Discord, or open a support ticket with /support create and include the screenshot.
  4. Block the user (see below).

You can also stop people you don't know from messaging you. Right-click (or tap and hold) our server's icon, open Privacy Settings, and turn off Direct Messages. This stops members of our server who aren't your friends from starting a DM with you.

Blocking a User​

Blocking someone stops them from sending you direct messages, and hides their messages from you in shared servers.

  • On desktop: Right-click the user's name, then select Block.
  • On mobile: Tap the user's name to open their profile, tap the ⋯ menu, then tap Block.

The other person isn't told that you blocked them.

Leaving a Server​

If you're in any Discord server where you don't feel safe, you can leave it at any time.

  • On desktop: Right-click the server icon, then select Leave Server.
  • On mobile: Tap and hold the server icon (or tap the server name at the top of the channel list), then tap Leave Server.

Voice Chat​

Voice channels on our Discord are not recorded, and staff are not usually listening in. Because of this:

  • Voice is for people who already know each other.
  • If anything happens in a voice channel that makes you uncomfortable, leave the channel straight away, then report it with /report or a support ticket.
