Player numbers and eras
Your permanent number, your era tag, playtime tags and how to hide them.
Every player gets a permanent number and an era tag. Nobody can buy, grant or reset them.
Your number
When you join for the first time, the server announces your name and your player number in chat.
- Numbers are given in the order of first join on the world.
- The number is yours forever.
- Numbers belong to one world. Numbers from test worlds do not carry over to the launch world.
Your era
The era tag shows when you arrived. Founders get [Founder] (see below). Everyone else gets the year they first joined, such as [2026].
Chat looks like this:
[2026] [100h] <Steve> hello
Tags show in chat only. The tab list shows your name, with your cohort tag if you have one.
Founder
A [Founder] tag marks the first players of the launch world. It is shown in gold. Founder tags are on since the launch on 13 October 2026. You get one with:
- player number 1 to 1,000, or
- a first join within 30 days of the launch.
Everyone else keeps their join year.
Founders also get the founder role in the Discord when they link with /link. See Discord.
Playtime tags
Playtime milestones give a permanent tag and a message in chat.
| Milestone | Tag |
|---|---|
| 10 hours | [10h] |
| 100 hours | [100h] |
| 500 hours | [500h] |
| 1,000 hours | [1000h] |
| 5,000 hours | [5000h] |
The server announces each milestone in chat. Only your highest milestone tag is shown.

Other identity commands

Kill feed
Deaths are written as one line. For example:
Steve was slain by Alex using "Wrist Snapper" after popping 6 totems. Alex ended Steve's 9 kill streak. Alex is on a 5 kill streak.
The verbs are slain, shot, crystalled, anchored, bedded, blown up, killed and finished off. "Finished off" means the player died to something else, such as a fall or lava, 1.5 to 10 seconds after a hit from another player. Crystal kills never name a weapon. Deaths with no player involved keep the normal game message, with the totems and the lost streak added. The feed has no coordinates and no dimension.
