Supporters

Players with this Supporter Tier 1 tag appearing next to their name in chat and the tablist are SwitchCraft Supporters. This means that they have paid to help keep the server online. If you would like to buy Supporter status, visit: https://sc3.io/supporter.

Supporter goes directly towards server upkeep and maintenance costs, helping SwitchCraft stay alive for longer!

By becoming a Supporter, you will receive multiple tags:

You will also receive the following cosmetic perks in-game:

  • Custom Hats: A special slot which allows you to wear almost any block or item as a hat, including 3D prints and posters, with the ability to change the position, rotation, and scale of the hat. You can also use the /hat command to swap in your currently held item as a hat.
  • Custom Elytras: Use a poster to change the texture of your Elytra, with support for asymmetric wing textures.
  • Step Sounds: Override your step sounds to the sounds of many other blocks.
  • The /sleep command, which allows you to sleep in any location, without a bed, and even during the day.
  • The /fly command in the lobby.

And the following additional perks on our Discord:

  • Access to the exclusive #supporters chat channel.
  • The ability to change your own nickname.
  • The ability to use external emoji and stickers.

Tags will last 30 days for every $5.00 USD contributed. The minimum payment is $5.00 USD. For example, if you spend $20.00 USD, you will receive Supporter Tier 1 for 120 days. You may purchase Supporter multiple times, and it will stack.

Tags are usually applied within 30 minutes of purchase. Contact staff on Discord for support.

Supporter Tiers

Supporter Tiers are special badges that are given to players who have cumulatively contributed a certain amount of money towards the server over time.

  • Supporter Tier 1 $5.00 USD or more contributed total
  • Supporter Tier 2 $25.00 USD or more contributed total
  • Supporter Tier 3 $75.00 USD or more contributed total

If you do not want to share your Supporter tier, you can choose which tag to show publicly in the Supporter Customization screen, or by running /supporter tier <1-3>. You can revert back to any previous tier for the tag on your username, e.g. if you are a Tier 3 supporter you can show a Tier 1 tag by running /supporter tier 1. You can revert this at any time by running /supporter tier auto. Alternatively, if you don't want to show a tag at all, you may opt out.

Opt out

You may opt out of publicly showing your Supporter status in the Supporter Customization screen by choosing "Hide" for "Shown tier", or by running /supporter opt out. This will hide the Supporter tag from your name. You will still need to manually un-link your Discord and Forums accounts if they have been linked. You may opt back in at any time by running /supporter opt in.

Supporter Customization

There are a number of exclusive cosmetic customization perks available to Supporters. You can access the Supporter Customization screen in one of the following ways:

  • Clicking the Supporter icon in the inventory screen
  • Clicking the Supporter Customization button in Pause -> Options under "Quick Settings"
  • Running /supporter
    • If you have active Supporter status, you can also use these shorthands for the respective tabs: /supporter hat, /supporter elytra, and /supporter stepsounds.

Supporter Customizations will be visible to other players for as long as your Supporter tags last, unless:

  • You opt out of showing your Supporter status
  • The other player disables that specific customization in the SwitchCraft Client Mod settings (Supporter Customizations tab).

If you do not currently have Supporter status, you can still access the screen to view your customizations, but you will not be able to make any changes until you purchase Supporter again. If you have items in the "Custom Hat" or "Custom Elytra" slots, you will be able to remove them, but not put them back.

Custom Hats

Custom Hats are a special slot which allows you to wear almost any block or item as a hat, including 3D prints and posters, with the ability to change the position, rotation, and scale of the hat. You can also use the /hat command to swap in your currently held item as a hat. Run /supporter hat to customize.

If you had a custom hat that was not a valid armor item before April 10th, 2024, it will be automatically moved to the "Custom Hats" tab in the Supporter Customization screen when you next log in, even if you're not currently a Supporter.

If you're not currently a Supporter, you can still access the screen to remove the item, but you will no be able to put it back until you purchase Supporter again.

Tips

  • Hat items are rendered the same way as they are in the inventory. If it has a model in the inventory, it will have a model on your head. Posters are handled specially, to appear as a flat plane (visible from both sides) in front of your face by default.
  • You can toggle the rendering of your helmet by checking "Show helmet with hat" in the bottom left. This allows you to still wear armor, but have your hat render instead. The armor will still provide protection.
  • You can hold Shift when dragging the sliders to snap them to sensible values (1/8th of a block for positions and scales, 15° for rotations), and use the arrow keys to change them precisely.
  • Click and drag to rotate the preview window, and scroll to zoom.

Custom Elytras

Custom Elytras allow you to use a poster from sc-peripherals to change the texture of your Elytra. It works for both vanilla Elytras and sc-goodies colored/special Elytras. Run /supporter elytra to customize.

  • Symmetric UVs - This is the default mode. The model and UV map used is the same as the vanilla Elytra, where there is only one wing texture, mirrored to both sides.
  • Asymmetric UVs - This mode allows you to use a different texture for each wing. The left wing adds an additional cuboid to the UV map, and moves the right wing's UVs to the right slightly to make room for it. This mode is not compatible with textures for vanilla Elytras, e.g. from other resource packs. The right wing texture is flipped horizontally.

You can download the templates for both modes in a variety of formats on the Custom Elytra screen, or from here:

  • Layered (Aseprite) - Contains both an example Elytra and the UV map.
  • Layered (Paint.NET) - Contains both an example Elytra and the UV map.
  • Layered (GIMP) - Contains both an example Elytra and the UV map.
  • UV Map (PNG) - Contains only the UV map.
  • Example (PNG) - Contains only the example Elytra.

Tips

  • Click and drag to rotate the preview window, and scroll to zoom.
  • Hover over the poster preview to fade out the UV template.
  • Although the vanilla Elytra texture is 64x32, posters are 128x128, so textures must be scaled up to this size to fit. This also means you get 2x extra detail horizontally, and 4x extra detail vertically.

Step Sounds

Step Sounds allow you to override your step sounds to the sounds of many other blocks. Run /supporter stepsounds to customize.
