Terms of Use

These are the terms for using eaglercraftranked.com, our Discord server, and the Eaglercraft Ranked client (together, "Eaglercraft Ranked," "we," "us"). We've tried to write them the way we'd actually explain the rules to a friend, not as a wall of legal boilerplate. By visiting the site, creating an account, linking your Discord, playing on our servers, or buying anything from our store, you're agreeing to what's below. If something here doesn't make sense, ask in our Discord before assuming — that's what it's there for.

Starting with Beta 1.5.4, the client asks you to read and accept these terms the first time you open it, when you create an account, and whenever they change. You can't play until you accept them.

Age

You must be 13 or older to use Eaglercraft Ranked. If you're under 13, don't create an account or play. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we delete it and its data.

Ranked match recording

Starting with Beta 1.5.4, to catch cheaters, every ranked match for Elo you play is recorded: your Minecraft game window and the game's own sound. Nothing else is recorded: not the rest of your screen, not your microphone, not your other tabs or programs. Private duels, party fights and other servers are not recorded.

• Recordings are deleted 1 hour after the match, or after 7 days if the match was reported.
• For now only higher staff (moderators and admins) can watch them, to review reports and cheating.
• The recording can't be turned off in ranked matches. If you don't want to be recorded, don't play ranked matches.
• Blocking, disabling or tampering with the recording counts as tampering with the client (see Fair play).

Ownership

Everything that makes Eaglercraft Ranked look and feel like Eaglercraft Ranked — the website itself, its source code and design, the Eaglercraft Ranked name and logo, our rank emblems and crowns, cosmetics artwork, UI icons, the wording on this site, and any other original content we've made — belongs to Eaglercraft Ranked. That's true whether or not it carries a copyright notice.

You're welcome to link to our site, share screenshots or clips of yourself playing, or talk about us publicly — that kind of sharing is exactly what we want. What you can't do, without asking us first and getting a written yes, is:

• Copy, re-host, mirror, or rebuild our website, client, or services elsewhere
• Reskin, repackage, or reupload our artwork, logo, or rank emblems as your own
• Use our name, logo, or branding to promote a different server, site, or product
• Claim authorship of anything we made, or strip attribution from it
• Sell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit our original content

If you send us feedback, bug reports, or suggestions, we may use them to improve Eaglercraft Ranked without owing you anything for it — but we'll never pretend your ideas were ours in a way that misrepresents who you are.

The game

Eaglercraft Ranked is a fan-made competitive layer built on top of Eaglercraft, which is itself an unofficial browser port that lets Minecraft-style gameplay run without a separate launcher or install. We didn't create Minecraft, and we don't distribute any Minecraft assets we aren't allowed to.

Minecraft, the Minecraft name, and all related assets, trademarks, and branding belong to Mojang AB and Microsoft. We are not Mojang or Microsoft, we're not funded or paid by them, and nothing here should be read as a claim that we are. This project exists because we love the game, not because we're pretending to be its owners.

Fair play

Rankings only mean something if matches are played straight. That means no cheating, no exploiting bugs or unintended mechanics for an advantage, no botting or scripting your inputs, and no tampering with the client, our services, or the connection between them. A few things we specifically watch for:

• Autoclickers, macros, or any tool that plays part of the game for you
• Reach, movement, or combat modifications not present in the stock client
• Deliberately exploiting a bug instead of reporting it
• Queue-dodging, boosting a teammate's rank on purpose, or match manipulation
• Intercepting, modifying, or replaying network traffic between the client and our services
• Harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse toward other players or staff, in-game or in Discord

If we catch something, what happens depends on how serious it is — a first-time minor issue might just get a warning, while cheating, exploiting, or targeted abuse can mean an immediate ban with no warning. Match history, ELO, and placements affected by a confirmed violation may be rolled back or voided. If you think a punishment was a mistake, you can appeal it through our Discord; staff will look at it, but the original decision stands unless we say otherwise.

Accounts

One Eaglercraft Ranked account per person. Multiple accounts used to dodge a ban, farm placements, or manipulate rankings count as a fair play violation on every account involved, not just the newest one.

You're responsible for keeping your own account secure and for anything that happens through it. If you link a Discord account, that link is used to show your roles (like Supporter, Booster, or staff) and to keep account activity logs — you can unlink it at any time. If you believe your account has been compromised, let us know in Discord as soon as you can so we can help.

We may suspend, restrict, or permanently close an account that breaks these terms, and we don't guarantee that any account, rank, cosmetic, or piece of match history will be kept around forever — we'll always try to give notice before anything structural changes, but this is a small fan project, not a service with uptime guarantees.

Your data

We keep what we need to run Eaglercraft Ranked: your account, match history and ratings, settings, reports, anticheat findings, match replays and recordings. The Privacy page lists what we keep, for how long, and why.

You can delete your account and its data at any time in the game (Account > Delete account), or ask staff in our Discord. If you're in the EU (or anywhere with similar privacy laws), you can also ask us what we keep about you or to correct it.

Purchases

The Premium rank and anything else sold through our store is purchased through Tebex, a third-party payment provider — we never see or store your card details ourselves. Buying Premium applies it to your account automatically; billing, payment methods, refunds, chargebacks, and taxes are governed by Tebex's own terms of sale, which you agree to separately when you check out.

Everything sold through our store is cosmetic: armor trims, crowns, name colors, and similar extras. Nothing purchasable grants a gameplay or ranking advantage. Prices, perks, and what's available to buy can change at any time, and we don't guarantee a perk available today will stay available or identical in the future. Abusing the purchase system (chargebacks made in bad faith, for example) may result in an account suspension in addition to whatever Tebex does on their end.

Reporting copies

Every so often someone copies our site, client, or branding and passes it off as us — sometimes just to ride on our name, sometimes to scam players out of logins or payment details. If you come across something like that, please don't engage with it or enter any real information into it. Instead, report it in our Discord with a link or screenshot and whatever details you noticed, and we'll look into it.

The same goes for security issues: if you find a bug that could let someone access accounts, data, or systems they shouldn't, report it privately to staff in Discord rather than posting it publicly or testing it on other players' accounts.

Changes

We may update these terms as Eaglercraft Ranked grows or changes — new features, new perks, or just clearer wording. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version, and for anything we consider a meaningful change, we'll post a heads-up in our Discord as well. Continuing to use the site, client, or services after an update means you accept the terms as they now read.

Eaglercraft Ranked is provided as-is, run by a small team as a passion project — we do our best to keep it fair, available, and bug-free, but we can't promise it'll always be perfect, and we're not liable for losses that come from downtime, bugs, or lost match/account data. If something's genuinely broken, tell us — we'd rather fix it than leave you guessing.
