Activate Vanguard
Three straightforward steps connect your Minecraft account, confirm your Resident status, and activate Vanguard automatically.
Before you begin: you must already be a verified DadCraft Resident.
Visitors and Settlers need to complete onboarding and receive the Resident rank first. If the in-game check fails, checkout stays locked and no payment can be taken.
Link your Minecraft account
Tell the portal which player should receive Vanguard.
Enter the exact Minecraft username or Bedrock gamertag you use on DadCraft. We never request or store your Minecraft password.
- Use the name exactly as it appears in game.
- Keep this browser tab open after creating your code.
Verify your Resident status in Minecraft
DadCraft confirms that you—not someone else—control the player account.
While logged into the DadCraft server, paste this exact command into Minecraft chat:
/vanguard link - The code expires after 15 minutes.
- The server checks for the Resident rank before approving the link.
- Return to this same browser tab after Minecraft confirms success.
Complete your Vanguard subscription
Choose PayPal or a supported debit or credit card.
Complete checkout below. When PayPal confirms the subscription, DadCraft applies Vanguard automatically—normally within seconds and without waiting for staff.
Need help? Keep this tab open and contact DadCraft staff in Discord with your Minecraft username. Never send anyone your Minecraft or PayPal password.
