# Builder Rank & Holly's Tool Setup
**Status:** READY — top priority
**Status:** ✅ ARCHIVED — SUPERSEDED
**Owner:** Michael "Frostystyle" Krause
**Priority:** Tier 0 — Immediate (unblocks Holly's work)
**Priority:** N/A
**Created:** 2026-03-10
**Created By:** Chronicler #29
**Archived:** 2026-04-04 by Chronicler #59
---
## Overview
## Archive Reason
Define and deploy the Builder staff rank on all 12 servers, assign it to Holly (unicorn20089), and ensure she has the full builder toolkit available. This is separate from the subscriber rank system — staff ranks are a parallel track.
**Holly is now part of The Trinity** — she's a co-founder and partner, not a staff member requiring a builder rank.
This task is intentionally scoped small so Holly can start building as soon as possible.
As of April 2026, The Trinity consists of:
- **Michael "Frostystyle"** (The Wizard) — Owner/Technical Lead
- **Meg "Gingerfury"** (The Emissary) — Community Manager
- **Holly "unicorn20089"** (The Catalyst) — Lead Builder / Creative Authority
Holly has full administrative access as a Trinity member. The original task to create a separate "builder" staff rank is no longer applicable.
---
## Quick Links
## Original Task (Historical)
- [Deployment Plan](deployment-plan.md) — Step-by-step setup
- [Builder Toolkit](builder-toolkit.md) — Full list of tools and permissions
Define and deploy the Builder staff rank on all 12 servers, assign it to Holly (unicorn20089), and ensure she has the full builder toolkit available.
This was written when Holly was being hired as staff, before she became a partner.
---
## Staff Rank Structure (Parallel to Subscriber Ranks)
```
staff ranks (separate from subscriber hierarchy)
├── builder ← Holly's rank
├── moderator (future)
├── admin (future)
└── owner (Michael/frostystyle)
```
Staff ranks sit outside the subscriber tier tree. A builder has staff-level build permissions regardless of their subscription status.
---
## Holly's Current Access After This Task
- LuckPerms `builder` group on all 12 servers
- WorldEdit (or equivalent per modpack)
- Replay Mod / Replay Reforged (where applicable)
- Builder-appropriate chat prefix
- Bypass for chunk claim limits in build areas
- Creative mode or gamemode switching (build servers only)
---
## Dependencies
- Requires SSH access to all game servers (TX1 + NC1)
- LuckPerms must be installed first (part of this task if not present)
- See Task #25 (LuckPerms MySQL Backend) — ideally done first, but can do per-server if urgent
