How do I get whitelisted?
Fill out the pinned template in #introductions in our discord server and you will be whitelisted by a staff member after that. Check the pinned msgs for a template. At least include how you identify, your age or just if you are a minor or adult, and your Minecraft Username. Make sure your Minecraft Username/IGN is for the Java version of the game and that it is spelt correctly.

How long does whitelisting take?
Whitelisting should not take more than 24 hours. If it has been more than 24 hours, use the @staff tag in #ask-staff  and ask to be whitelisted and mention its been more than 24 hours.
