Creator Program
We’re eager to publish short-form content on TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Reels about the server, to tell the world about us. For that we need quality videos, and after some considerations we have decided that you make the videos; we publish them; and then you get rewarded. No channel needed. No audience needed. No application, no ticket, nothing. Just one good edit is the entire entry requirement, anyone and anytime. You can try doing it whenever you like, if it’s not resonates with you - you are not forced to continue
🎬 How It Works
Section titled “🎬 How It Works”- Record or grab footage - from your own gameplay, or from the shared footage pool.
- Edit a short - vertical, 25–60 seconds, one idea.
- Submit it in the
#submissionsforum on Discord. - We review it - accepted or rejected with a reason code, usually within 72 hours.
- You get paid on acceptance, then again after 30 days based on how it performed.
Accepted videos are published by us with credit to you in the caption or pinned comment.
💰 Rewards
Section titled “💰 Rewards”You choose how you are paid. Every payout is offered as either cash or Store Credit - Store Credit is worth roughly double the cash value, because it costs us less to give. If you insist, we can also consider in-game currency you may need (Brilliant Emporium points; Coppets, Licks, V’erl Dors; Energy Shards etc)
Base - paid on acceptance. Paid regardless of how the video performs. You do not control our posting schedule or the algorithm, so you do not carry that risk.
| Tier | Cash | Store Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant | $6 | ~$12 |
| Contributor | $7.50 | ~$15 |
| Resident | $9 | ~$18 |
Performance - paid 30 days after publication. Measured on the best-performing platform. Not capped at the top.
| Views | Cash | Store Credit |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $4 | ~$8 |
| 50,000 | $15 | ~$30 |
| 100,000 | $30 | ~$60 |
| 500,000 | $100 | ~$200 |
One important thing to keep in mind is that bonuses are not cumulative - you receive the highest tier reached.
Payment terms
- Store Credit is applied within 48 hours of acceptance and can be spent on anything we have in the Store.
- Cash is paid via PayPal in a single monthly batch, on the 1st. There is a $25 minimum balance - anything below it rolls over to the next month. This keeps transfer fees from eating your payout.
- Store Credit payouts are capped at $40 equivalent per person per month. Above that, the remainder is paid in cash.
🪜 Tiers
Section titled “🪜 Tiers”Tiers control how many videos you can have in review at once and what your base rate is. Everyone starts at Applicant as soon as they submit their very first submission.
| Tier | Requirement | Submission slots / month | Base rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Applicant | - | 2 | ×1.0 |
| Contributor | 3 accepted videos | 5 | ×1.25 |
| Resident | 10 accepted + strong average views | 8, priority review | ×1.5 |
Resident also unlocks everything the old Author rank carried: the in-game tag, beta server access, the Eternal Edict Sequence 8 boon, and the right to post links in global chat.
We accept a maximum of 12 videos per month across all creators. Slots are first-come - submit early. Three consecutive rejections put you on a two-week cooldown. Don’t consider this as a punishment; it is simply a signal to re-read the checklist below.
✅ What Gets Accepted
Section titled “✅ What Gets Accepted”We’ve also gathered some info about what actually has high chances of being accepted. Most rejections will be not about effort, but about structure. Short-form is a format with rules we have to strictly follow to have results.
The checklist
Section titled “The checklist”- Open on your most absurd frame. No intro, no logo, no “hey guys”
- Text hook on screen within half a second. Six words or fewer
- One idea per video. One spell, one moment, one joke, one general idea
- Payoff at ~70%, then loop back toward the opening beat
- 30–59 seconds. Longer only if the payoff truly needs it
- English text only as well
What Mysterria has that nothing else does
Section titled “What Mysterria has that nothing else does”Lead with the strange. The market is saturated with generic SMP content - our advantage is that the magic systems are genuinely unusual. Madness effects, possession, Sealed Artifacts, church rituals, mutation, Crimson Moon, spell chains, Beyonder transformations.
“I got possessed by a god in Minecraft” sounds cool. “New dungeon update” does not.
Technical requirements
Section titled “Technical requirements”Technical spec is also important, submissions will be auto-rejected if missing these:
- 1080 × 1920 vertical format, MP4 / H.264
- No watermarks, including editor trial watermarks
- Music on a separate track, or send a clean no-music export
- Don’t use copy righted music if the video is longer than 60 seconds
P.S. 1920 x 1080 videos are valid, but we prefer 1080 x 1920. However, if you submit one of these, they will also be reviewed on special terms, especially if those are several minutes videos on YouTube with gameplay or lets-plays.
Rejection reason codes
Section titled “Rejection reason codes”As a result of review, you’ll get a tag, not a paragraph. Faster for us and omits issues with overexplaining things. If your submission was rejected, we’re sorry: this is the life.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| R1 | Hook too slow - nothing grabs in the first second |
| R2 | No payoff - the video does not land anywhere |
| R3 | Pacing - dead frames, holds too long, over-edited |
| R4 | Too many ideas - split it into separate videos |
| R5 | Technical spec failure - see requirements above |
| R6 | Overlaps something we have already published |
| R7 | Footage is not visually interesting enough to carry an edit |
As inspiration take these existing videos:
- Visual effects and Mythical Creature Forms
- Old showcase of cool looking abilities
- With voice over explaining stuff
📹 Footage Suppliers
Section titled “📹 Footage Suppliers”Not an editor? You can still contribute.
Drop raw, unedited clips into #footage: rituals, boss fights, spell effects, madness, anything visually loud.
Editors pull from this pool, and you are paid in Brilliant Emporium points for clips that get used in an accepted
video.
No editing skill required. No slots, no tiers, no limit.
⚖️ Rules
Section titled “⚖️ Rules”- By submitting, you grant Mysterria a perpetual, worldwide right to publish, edit, re-cut, cross-post and monetize the video on any platform. You keep the right to post your own copy anywhere you like.
- The work must be yours. No re-uploads, no stolen edits, no AI-generated footage passed off as gameplay. Confirmed theft is a permanent ban from the program.
- Good standing. No active bans or mutes on the server or Discord.
- Family friendly-ish. Mild language is fine. Slurs, excessive toxicity and controversial topics are not.
- No exploiting glitches for content, and no harassing players on camera.
- Rejections are final. Resubmitting the same edit without changes burns a slot.
🤝 Partner Program
Section titled “🤝 Partner Program”Separate from the above. If you already run a channel with an established audience and want to make Mysterria content on your own platform, that is sponsorship, not a submission.
Open a ticket in #create-ticket titled “Partner Application” with your channel link, average views, and what you
would want to make. Your content has to be linked to Minecraft or Lord of The Mysteries theme.
🚀 Submitting
Section titled “🚀 Submitting”Everything happens in the #submissions forum on Discord. Create a post with:
