BUILDER[]
A Builder, formerly known as a Mapper, and collectively known as the Build Team, builds various maps for Mineplex. Having this rank earns the player the blue/white 'Builder' tag on the Mineplex forums and the blue BUILDER rank in-game. Each builder has the freedom to build at their own pace and make maps in their own style. They are allowed to build maps for any and every gamemode, all their choice. A lot of the work a Builder does is independent, however they also take part in various team builds which involve other assignments such as seasonal lobbies and large maps in which each member of the team builds together.
MAPPER[]
The Mapper rank was shortly brought back to notice special "senior staff" builders that showed hard working dedication to the team and were under an NDA (A Nondisclosure Agreement). This team was given the blue/white "Mapper" tag on the Mineplex forums and the blue MAPPER rank in-game, they worked closely with the development and designer teams on special projects and content. This rank is no longer given out and been discontinued due to it being unneeded.
Build Team Leadership[]
MAPLEAD[]
Map Leads are recognized by the blue/white 'Build Lead' tag on the forums and the blue MAPLEAD rank in-game. The leadership within the team is led by Mappable, partnered with Nepchune. Each build lead has to fulfill and lead a builder sub-team.

Mineplex Marketplace [Builder] (Discontinued)[]
DeanTM & dutty were the leaders for the Mineplex Marketplace team, each member of the team was designated to create content under the Mineplex section of the Minecraft Marketplace. This team was made up of Map Creators, Skin Designers, Redstone Developers, and Graphics Designers that create the content sold on the Marketplace! This subteam is no longer given out and has been discontinued.
Paper Builder (Discontinued)[]
This special team was led by t3hero. This team was given to Moderators that worked closely with the build team by helping with build team applications. A Paper Builder did not do any building themselves normally, they where assigned to assist in filtering out spam, troll or applications with not enough detail that the build team received. They also helped with "secretarial" assignments such as taking notes or updating build team documents. This subteam is no longer given out and been discontinued due to it being unneeded.
Builder Application Process[]
Players may apply at www.mineplex.com/BuildTeamApplication. Submitted builds are judged on five main categories, aesthetics, structures, organics, terraforming and game-play (which translates to the detail of the map and how practical the map is for playing a specific mini-game), If a recruitment member (BLD) is pleased with your work you will progress on to the first stage. If all members believe one has potential they will progress to the second stage where they will go through a one-month trial building various maps and being provided feedback, then accepted and promoted to Builder if they are to meet the requirements.
