Verification is done in Discord, not in Minecraft. Sending the verification word confirms you've read, understood, and agreed to follow the rules now and as they're updated.

1. Join the Minecraft server first, with the account you want verified. Java: CozyMC.com. Bedrock: add friend PlayCozyMC, or connect to mc.cozymc.com, port 19132. An account that has never joined can't be verified, so do this before you send the word. You can explore and use text chat right away; you can't build, break, pick up items, or use in-game voice chat until you're verified. Voice is the one channel with no log and no filter, so it opens only once you've agreed to the rules.
2. Read the rules and find the verification word yourself. Don't ask for it, guess it, share it, or repost it.
3. Send one message in #general containing exactly three things in this order: the verification word, one space, your exact Minecraft username. Nothing else — no labels, brackets, /me, or /verify.

AutoMod hides the message so the word isn't posted publicly. You'll see a private notice — that's expected and only confirms the message was hidden. Verification is manual and usually quick, but allow up to 24 hours. You'll know you're verified when you can break blocks, pick up items, and talk in voice. Still restricted after 24 hours? Open a support ticket.

Bedrock players: use /me to chat in-game, but never for verification. If you switch between Java and Bedrock, join the server with the new account and verify again. Trying to bypass verification is bad-faith participation; if you find a bug, report it.

Your account is yours alone. Letting someone else play on it puts an unverified person — possibly under 13 — on Cozy through you, which is bypassing verification, and whatever happens on the account is your conduct: "someone else was using it" doesn't change a finding.
