Website Support Tickets
Made the support page full width, to make reading/replying to tickets easier. It uses a lot of column space, so I gave it more column space!
Re-set the unresolved/Closed filters in the Support page, the developer seems to delete my settings when the plugin updates! Bit annoying!
Disabled the "view more" to click and show messages, it will now just show messages.
https://piratemc.com/support/
Website
CSS Changes; Removed paragraph formatting, which had its own colour & size, Made main font bigger & darker, Set hyperlinks to blue
Not sure I like the hyperlink colour change, but it makes it MUCH easier to see what you can click on, and blue is default for links across the web, so its a bit more obvious what you can click on in the body.
Creative - WorldEdit Visuals
WorldEdit selections visualised! for //wand //pos1 //pos2 Selections!
Added for everyone
Toggle it on/off with /wesv toggle
Toggle your selection visualizer /wesv toggle clipboard
Demo by @Atalantaa with her Ice cream van!
Survival - WorldEdit Visuals
Added this WorldEdit Visuals to Survival for reboot tomorrow for @Admin WE Regens! 
Survival- New Rank!
Created Gardener Rank
The cleanup crew! This is a rank with WorldEdit permissions to select & regen terrain.
This is a temporary rank Idea I came up with for @Helper& @Moderator to help out @Admin from time to time in mass regenerating large regions of the world back to begin fresh virgin terrain.
There is no ETA for when this will happen yet, I have put this in place to test myself and see the restrictions we have to work within, so stay tuned.
ℹ️ After a few hours work trying to add restrictions & protect claims, its just not possible, the only restrictions I can give the rank are to limit to inside claims that the group owner is trusted on (Big oof). So it will need to be monitored cleanup! I could create big temporarily regions during these cleanup times but that means were restricted to one area at a time!
ℹ️ This does regenerate ores as well as terrain, so this can't be a perm rank, we don't want infinite ores, this aint no prison server 
ℹ️ Regen does not work on spawners!
Added Gardener Name tag above head
Added WorldEdit logging into our universal logging system (Next restart)
Drastically updated Async WorldEdit Settings, they were very dated to our old server settings.
Moved Clipboard storage from Disk to RAM, should be faster, The disk is NVME so not too much faster, but still faster!
Set to 8 CPU cores instead of 4
Lots of behind the hood tweaks.
Updated Proxy/VPN block message when attempting to join the server through a proxy/VPN. To mention you can request a VPN bypass on a specific account via https://piratemc.com/support/ for those people that require a VPN on their network, I mentioned this when I released it but thought it would make more sense to have it in the error message. 
Survival - Travelling Merchant
Created a Travelling Merchant, This Merchant will only be around temporarily to sell his stock of impossible to get item(s), so get them while there hot!
The Merchant is a way to get hold of basic items that are otherwise impossible to get hold of outside of rare event drops! The Merchant knows this, so his prices match the impossible to get items! For the next few days the Travelling Merchant is selling Sponges at £350 each at /shop2
Limit to 5 sales Per person.
1 Item only at a time sold by the Merchant
Great for getting money out of the eco!
Verified in #deleted-channel by @deleted-role before I introduced this to make sure it couldn't be misused (its a sponge it sucks water 
)
Put in /shop2 on purpose, this is a Premium Market that will continue to have small random events to draw in people to the marketplace.
I wanted to have a set global stock, but sadly Iv'e been let down by the plugin and this wasn't possible, iv'e requested it so hopefully in the future we will be able to have limited stock of items.
As I cant have limited stock, its 5pp and the Trader will go on his travels in a few days! So this is super limited time only! Getttt ya sponges while there hot! 
Discord
I made a spinny boy logo for the discord, thanks for the Boooost @Discord Booster

Survival - Cove Building
The @Build Leader & @Builder team are slowly going to start updating some super oooolllld parts of the Cove over time in drips and drabs, here's your first installment from @MionaTheGreat updating the shipwreck that is between Covetown & the marketplace! Look how stunning this looks! Thanks a million Miona it looks beautiful! You can go see it yourself by visiting /warp cove and walking towards /warp shop or start at shops and walk towards cove!
Removed Travelling Merchant from /shop2 
Website Galleries
Added dynamic buttons that link directly to logged in users Gallery page as well as being in the main menu, groups goes to your group list as you can have multiple.

Creative - Builder utilities
Re-added /bu Builder Utilities back to creative, I had it disabled to test if it was the cause of a bug, but it wasn't. Itll be back on at Creatives reboot this morning at 10.30am UK time.

Mammoth project released, My entire re-make of the Ranks & Commands website page is now live, this time I have spent (a very long time) building a searchable, sortable commands list for every command you can use in-game!
As well as entirely re-designing and re-writing the entire ranks page from scratch.

Lots of spelling & grammar fixes for the new Commands & Ranks page thanks to @MionaTheGreat for proof reading the lot and @Pjeturr & @Bazurka all noticing other bits!
Sent gifts in-game for reports!

Website - Marketplace/Economy page
Removed an entire guide page for "how to make shop signs & xp bottles" from the main guide navigation.
Moved "How to make shop signs" to the Marketplace Guide.
Started chipping away at updating the "Pirate Marketplace & Economy" Guide.
Re-branded the guide from "Economy Philosophy & Shops" to "Pirate Marketplace & Economy" & changed its main menu icon to a shopping cart.
Added table of contents that works!
Re-made the cove image for showing where to sell wood.
Re-organised the top section of the page, edited the copy & changed the formatting for commands from blue to proper keyboard command layout.
Moved the "How to Create shop signs" to this page.
Formatted and added missing sign to the "How to create shop signs" section.
Removed hilariously outdated information saying you could buy a warp
Created new "Pirate Marketplace" Heading image see in #📷│media
This is as far as I got, It will require chipping away at over time.
Whats nice about these other pages, is that anyone can edit the content on these pages, if you want to help update website documentation content, do send me a DM with the page you want to update!

Survival / Discord
Temporarily disabled Discord Boosters being auto given via discord to in-game due to a bug that requires the developer to fix.
We can manually give out Helmsman Rank for discord boosters! So you will still get your rank you will just need to message me directly when boosted for now.
Removed Commander inheritance from Helmsman, Those that @Discord Booster and got a free Contributor rank, you're welcome Not quite sure how I managed to do that one!
Survival / Discord Booster
ℹ️ Because of the above issue, I've had to change how @Discord Booster are handled in-game, Sadly the developer of DiscordSRV has refused to fix an issue with how ranks are synced so I'm being forced to use Contexts instead of Ranks. which means permissions are granted for Discord booster from Deckhand rank based on a context instead of a separate rank (I know its stupid, I cant help it if the developer won't fix security issues)
Added context based permissions for @Discord Booster which is again now automated again!
Coloured username and badges will auto be set if you are a booster but it will not show as a separate rank (RIP Helmsman)
Sadly this means, as I cant auto set a rank, that overhead colored names will not work, as it requires checking for a rank BOO!
Im waiting on a bug fix from another Nametag plugin before I can switch it to hopefully solve this! AHHHHHHH
One benefit is you will be able to /rankup 
Why cant things just work.
If the developer fixes the security issue then I will move back to it being set as its own rank, don't worry @Discord Booster I will always find a way!
Website
Fixed a bunch of spelling and grammar thanks to @MionaTheGreat
Survival
Fixed S3 Shop for some reason being part of the Shops group, but having custom pricing and extend time on it, very weird! Now updated to be the same as all the other shops!
S3 got £361 Cheaper each month to rent! from £1686 down to £1325
Fixed S8 Ssame issue now fixed!
S8 got £MUCH CheaperI didn't take a before screenshot to see by how much, expect about the same.
Survival - Travelling Merchant is back!
Travelling Merchant is back. He will only be around temporarily to sell his stock of hard to get item(s), so get them while there hot!
For the next few days the Travelling Merchant is selling Sea Lanterns at £25 for 16 at /shop2 you can buy a maximum of 80 per person!
You can buy 80 Sea Lanterns in one go! Get them while there hot!
1 Item only at a time sold by the Merchant at all times!
Great for getting money out of the eco!

Put in /shop2 on purpose, this is a Premium Market that will continue to have small random events to draw in people to the marketplace. 
Auction 23 "Garage Sale" is Live
Use /auc in-game!
This is auction number 23! 5+ days bid time.
£10 Junk Special!
This is a polar opposite auction! This is selling all the confiscated junk items at £10 each!
This auction is targeting new players to get some super cheap tools! (And to clear out some crap in storage!)
ℹ️ Remember if nobody bids on an item and it ends, nobody will ever get it! its removed! make sure to even bid the minimum on items!
Updated Hologram at /warp cove to tell people that /auc has been updated, you can click this Hologram or the NPC who has been relocated for Auc 23!

@MionaTheGreat updated the Creative plots guide page!
Fixed all commands being keyboard commands instead of just blue!
Re-parsed some of the text to better explain how to use creative and what its for!
Added screenshots to show off the creative worlds!
This inspired me to add some more content to the Creative Guide! So thanks @MionaTheGreat
Added table of contents
Created a "tools" section, which lists 5 of the biggest tools I've got on the Creative server, I've then embedded video tutorials on how to use each of the tools! It upsets me that more people are not using VoxelSniper its one of the best terrain tools out there!
All the video tutorials will work, you just have to remember that we have /z instead of /v as I had to re-bind it as /v is for vanish!

Removed the /msg sent when logging in about the Ranks & Commands page update, this works really well for getting people to see new features, the website tracks analytics and I can see it was being used!
Survival
Removed the PvP combat timer from GriefPrevention as its recommended to not have 2 PvP tag timers, Still have the 15s PvP timer from our PvP Manager plugin, If there are any issues with Siege/combat after this change, please tell me and I will put it back on! I'm going off a recommendation from the developer.
Survival

Cove Update!
A lot of you were online last night when I did quite a few updates and It was a little too late for me to write up changelogs, so these are from yesterday!
I re-designed /warp cove spawn/beach/Crate areas
I was desperate for more space at /warp cove as the beach was too small and everything was on top of each other/a jumbled mess.
I extended the beach dramatically and built a second beach opposite, i'm tempted to make more of the Cove beach so we have more room, what do you think? #⚓│general to tell me if you think I should make the beach bigger!
Moved /warp cove spawn to under the Bar for better "flow" of where to walk, and its closer to /warp ships
New information board that I can put graphics on! Currently its empty as I need to make my graphics!
Treasure Chests /treasure Got moved to individual ships on the shoreline (Thanks @IndexOutOfMJ & @ScriptX I borrowed this idea from your version of the cove! ) These guys are working on a longer term version of the cove! Stay tuned!
The Resource pack parrot `/getpack got his own stall, and I moved that giant hologram for it!
Room for activities! Drops, chests, whatever, just more room! Im tempted to make it bigger! 
Store - Stripe Fixed!
Card payments fixed on store
After messaging Tebex/BuyCraft they somehow fixed Stripe (Card payments, Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress) working, they must have borked something their end!
I have no idea how long this has been broken, sorry for the inconvenience!

Its GP's own PvP 15s timer, which conflicts with the actual PvP tagging plugins 15s timer, apparently if you disable the PvP timer in GP, it changes how siege works with block placement according to @RoMich02 , this literally makes no sense why they would program it this way to be related to the PvP timer, buy hey ho, this isn't a world of logic or good choices when it comes to Minecraft development!

Added a new message when you have used up all your /sethomes to explain how to get more homes, hopefully this will work with deckhands that ask how to set more homes!
Idea was from Discord, Reached 95 servers on discord and it was asking me to get Nitro to get up to 200! 
NEW! collectable Mob head drops!
Mob kills will now have a 10% chance in dropping a mob head for ALL mobs!
Some mobs like sheep have 16 differnt heads to collect! Each one is custom!
You cannot farm these! Each time you get a mob head drop your chance for another one drops by 50%! This gets reset each server reboot!
ℹ️ You can use your looting enchanted items for a better chance in head drops!
Level 1 Looting: +5.0%
Level 2 Looting: +10.0%
Level 3 Looting: +15.0%
Lore will be custom to you! your username will be forever bound to that head drop to make it unique!
I have also designed the lore to follow my new Collectable Items Color Code! These are classed as Common
https://piratemc.com/guides/treasure/
The End Dragon has a 100% chance in dropping a head, a whole changelog will be required for that change!
its entirely possible to request MORE heads to be added to a mob! You can make a #🔭archived-suggestions with a head from https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads for an additional head to be added to a mob!
ℹ️ Its entirely possible to have context based head drops, for example a charged creeper or a baby mob! None of the heads currently have these options! so get finding and suggesting!
ℹ️ Droprates, lowered with each kill rates or changes per head may change at any time! these are not fixed in stone values!
Re-opened up /warp end
Fixed void deaths re-spawning you at /warp end

Updated Anti-cheat plugin
Nerfed mob head drops from the previous changelog (Look directly above this one) based off this #🔭archived-suggestions via @gepetrus due to my drop rates being way to high and making the heads not even the slightest bit hard to obtain!

All mobs head drops (Apart from Dragon) are now 1% drop chance.
Looting Enchanted items are now:
Level 1 Looting: +0.5%
Level 2 Looting: +1.0%
Level 3 Looting: +1.5%
ℹ️ I was a lot more generous with the enchanted item bonus than the suggestion to counter the suggestion to remove the farming limiter of 50% for Lower With Each Drop which has to be kept.

Massive thanks to @MionaTheGreat who kicked it off with editing the images to be more unique and fixing the formatting of a lot of the old page into being fresh and new!

I added a "bot check" plugin to the bungee last night, it will definitely need tweaking or replacing, i'm not a fan of how it asks each person to verify before they can log in.
ℹ️ Just be aware it won't stay like this, its short term to stop flooding. I will get a better solution.
Survival
Cleaned up all old kits (You didn't see these, but we had about 40+!)

This will be only guides & info, check it out, its changed!
Next reboot made /info run the same as /guides so everything is the same index. 
Website
I updated the https://piratemc.com homepage.
I re-wrote the features sections to be more to the point, and made their headings clickable.
I added big buttons to each of the features to make them stand out, and removed sections that had 2 buttons/links previously and combined those into one page (Doors page!)
I created a publications section on the homepage! I'm generally proud to be featured in such publications and I wanted to show off that we have been published in these online magazines!
In the UK, PCGamer & RadioTimes are household names, RadioTimes magazine has been around since 1923 so to get blogged about, i'm super proud of! A lot of these publications have been around for years, but I've never thought to feature them on the website! Now there front and foremost to new people landing on the homepage!
If you have seen PirateCraft featured on any other large publications or even large YouTube videos send me a DM, and if there are enough I will make an entire publications page!
I updated the visuals for "Change-logs" section. Now that we're all caught up with latest changelogs thanks to @Bombniks I thought I would make it simpler to understand, I removed all the categories for the multiple servers and all out changes between all servers have been combined into each blog post, no need to have separate server blog posts now.
I also added a link to our discord in this section to explain that's where live changelogs are posted, Like this one!
I updated how Javascript is loaded for better speed, so if anything broke with this change make sure to report it in #deleted-channel

Re-added View Distance 12 for Sea Artist @Media, It was disabled as using a client past 1.12.2 does not load any chunks at all! So all ranks that inherit Media make sure you are using 1.12.2 or you may experience chunks not loading!
For the upcoming ship battle to record video for it!
The End dragon will teleport the dragon to the center when the first player enters the end now.
The dragon is entirely vanilla AI (yes it sucks) Not much we can do about this until a new Boss is made to replace it (Very low on the priority list!)

Opened up the lumberjack at /warp cove to everyone for a week to see how much money the server can generate in 1 week to everyone!

Information - Parsing Eco Logs Part 1
For those that don't know, each plugin logs actions, for example the admin NPCs at /warp cove each time someone buys/sells from these its logged into a text file per day. Now when you have years of files and multiple NPCs if you wanted to calculate total money generated from these NPCS (the lumberjack) vs money taken out of the eco (Ship shop or Cannons shop) you would have to go and open each file, sort each line into buy/sell and count up all the money generated and money spent, but nobody is going to have time for that
So I've finished Part 1 of one of my millions of to-do items which was to write a custom parsing script for the Admin Shop NPC's, this is to go with the recent #📢│announcements about opening up the Lumberjack at /warp cove again to actually be able to track day to day its sales, all times money in/out and any other kind of report we can think of!
I've called this Part 1, as each Economy plugin has its own separate logs which are usually not following any standard log format (God damn developers! 
) so its going to be a long boring process to write these scripts for each separate plugins eco logs! So I will make them over a long space of time when each is needed
Long term plan will be to have everything logged into one giant searchable database.
You may not see the outcome from the history of sales from these NPCS unless you pay close attention to SmartArse Tuesday posts! This is an admin tool to generate actual analytics & data for us to see how introducing more methods of income/spending works
Not sure if anyone cares about this, just thought I would tell anyone that may

I do a lot of things like this in the background, give this post an upvote if you like this kind of background information. If not I wont both you again with extra!
I wrote a custom parser script for Admin shop NPCS.

Re-enabled the captcha for register page, I have no idea how the captcha turned itself off! Ahh!

I created a universal Build of the month entry form on the website (and other comps later), no more requiring @Media to make Google forms to collect entries!
https://piratemc.com/competitions/
Logs to database for myself
Logs into a Google spreadsheet that is shared with @Moderator @Admin @deleted-role so everyone can keep track of submissions.
Emails a copy of your submission to yourself if you are logged into the website and a copy to the current @Media Team member that is managing BOTM/Competition.
Date selection allows people to submit to a future BOTM/Comp in anticipation of finishing a build or if they just missed a competition entry (25th)
Added option to attach a video if you are creative and want to add one!
Re-iterated that build entry can be a build from any period you have built it, it does not have to be withing X time.
Added @DeofiloW1 as Forum Mod/Media Badge on forums so he can Sticky & manage Competition forum threads to show up in /motd
BOTM August 2021 is now open

Disabled Lumberjack NPC for everyone, back to Deckhand & Cadet, super awesome to see how much money you all generated into the server in 7 days! I'm super glad I wrote my custom script! Given us a much better idea of how it was used over its history per day & all time (Daily sales went up 343% thanks to @Bazurka maths!)
Might be nice to do this injection from time to time!
Website Support Tickets
Made the support page full width, to make reading/replying to tickets easier. It uses a lot of column space, so I gave it more column space!
Re-set the unresolved/Closed filters in the Support page, the developer seems to delete my settings when the plugin updates! Bit annoying!
Disabled the "view more" to click and show messages, it will now just show messages.
https://piratemc.com/support/ Website
CSS Changes; Removed paragraph formatting, which had its own colour & size, Made main font bigger & darker, Set hyperlinks to blue
Not sure I like the hyperlink colour change, but it makes it MUCH easier to see what you can click on, and blue is default for links across the web, so its a bit more obvious what you can click on in the body. Creative - WorldEdit Visuals
WorldEdit selections visualised! for //wand //pos1 //pos2 Selections!

Toggle it on/off with /wesv toggle
Toggle your selection visualizer /wesv toggle clipboard
Demo by @Atalantaa with her Ice cream van!
Survival - WorldEdit Visuals
Added this WorldEdit Visuals to Survival for reboot tomorrow for @Admin WE Regens! Survival- New Rank!
Created Gardener Rank
The cleanup crew! This is a rank with WorldEdit permissions to select & regen terrain.
This is a temporary rank Idea I came up with for @Helper& @Moderator to help out @Admin from time to time in mass regenerating large regions of the world back to begin fresh virgin terrain.
There is no ETA for when this will happen yet, I have put this in place to test myself and see the restrictions we have to work within, so stay tuned.
ℹ️ After a few hours work trying to add restrictions & protect claims, its just not possible, the only restrictions I can give the rank are to limit to inside claims that the group owner is trusted on (Big oof). So it will need to be monitored cleanup! I could create big temporarily regions during these cleanup times but that means were restricted to one area at a time!
ℹ️ This does regenerate ores as well as terrain, so this can't be a perm rank, we don't want infinite ores, this aint no prison server
ℹ️ Regen does not work on spawners!
Added Gardener Name tag above head
Added WorldEdit logging into our universal logging system (Next restart)
Drastically updated Async WorldEdit Settings, they were very dated to our old server settings.
Moved Clipboard storage from Disk to RAM, should be faster, The disk is NVME so not too much faster, but still faster!
Set to 8 CPU cores instead of 4
Lots of behind the hood tweaks.
Updated Proxy/VPN block message when attempting to join the server through a proxy/VPN. To mention you can request a VPN bypass on a specific account via https://piratemc.com/support/ for those people that require a VPN on their network, I mentioned this when I released it but thought it would make more sense to have it in the error message. Survival - Travelling Merchant
Created a Travelling Merchant, This Merchant will only be around temporarily to sell his stock of impossible to get item(s), so get them while there hot!
The Merchant is a way to get hold of basic items that are otherwise impossible to get hold of outside of rare event drops! The Merchant knows this, so his prices match the impossible to get items! For the next few days the Travelling Merchant is selling Sponges at £350 each at /shop2
Limit to 5 sales Per person.
1 Item only at a time sold by the Merchant
Great for getting money out of the eco!
Verified in #deleted-channel by @deleted-role before I introduced this to make sure it couldn't be misused (its a sponge it sucks water )
Put in /shop2 on purpose, this is a Premium Market that will continue to have small random events to draw in people to the marketplace.
I wanted to have a set global stock, but sadly Iv'e been let down by the plugin and this wasn't possible, iv'e requested it so hopefully in the future we will be able to have limited stock of items.
As I cant have limited stock, its 5pp and the Trader will go on his travels in a few days! So this is super limited time only! Getttt ya sponges while there hot! Discord

Started chipping away at updating the "Pirate Marketplace & Economy" Guide.
Re-branded the guide from "Economy Philosophy & Shops" to "Pirate Marketplace & Economy" & changed its main menu icon to a shopping cart.
Added table of contents that works!
Re-made the cove image for showing where to sell wood.
Re-organised the top section of the page, edited the copy & changed the formatting for commands from blue to proper keyboard command layout.

Temporarily disabled Discord Boosters being auto given via discord to in-game due to a bug that requires the developer to fix.
We can manually give out Helmsman Rank for discord boosters! So you will still get your rank you will just need to message me directly when boosted for now.
Removed Commander inheritance from Helmsman, Those that @Discord Booster and got a free Contributor rank, you're welcome Not quite sure how I managed to do that one! Survival / Discord Booster
ℹ️ Because of the above issue, I've had to change how @Discord Booster are handled in-game, Sadly the developer of DiscordSRV has refused to fix an issue with how ranks are synced so I'm being forced to use Contexts instead of Ranks. which means permissions are granted for Discord booster from Deckhand rank based on a context instead of a separate rank (I know its stupid, I cant help it if the developer won't fix security issues)
Added context based permissions for @Discord Booster which is again now automated again!
Coloured username and badges will auto be set if you are a booster but it will not show as a separate rank (RIP Helmsman)
Sadly this means, as I cant auto set a rank, that overhead colored names will not work, as it requires checking for a rank BOO!
Im waiting on a bug fix from another Nametag plugin before I can switch it to hopefully solve this! AHHHHHHH
One benefit is you will be able to /rankup
Why cant things just work.
If the developer fixes the security issue then I will move back to it being set as its own rank, don't worry @Discord Booster I will always find a way! Website

This is auction number 23! 5+ days bid time.
£10 Junk Special!
This is a polar opposite auction! This is selling all the confiscated junk items at £10 each!
This auction is targeting new players to get some super cheap tools! (And to clear out some crap in storage!)
ℹ️ Remember if nobody bids on an item and it ends, nobody will ever get it! its removed! make sure to even bid the minimum on items!
Updated Hologram at /warp cove to tell people that /auc has been updated, you can click this Hologram or the NPC who has been relocated for Auc 23! Survival
Gave @Admin the ability to set Gardener rank.
Extra top secret details sent in admin chat

@MionaTheGreat updated the Creative plots guide page!
Fixed all commands being keyboard commands instead of just blue!
Re-parsed some of the text to better explain how to use creative and what its for!
Added screenshots to show off the creative worlds!
This inspired me to add some more content to the Creative Guide! So thanks @MionaTheGreat
Added table of contents
Created a "tools" section, which lists 5 of the biggest tools I've got on the Creative server, I've then embedded video tutorials on how to use each of the tools! It upsets me that more people are not using VoxelSniper its one of the best terrain tools out there!
All the video tutorials will work, you just have to remember that we have /z instead of /v as I had to re-bind it as /v is for vanish!

Removed the /msg sent when logging in about the Ranks & Commands page update, this works really well for getting people to see new features, the website tracks analytics and I can see it was being used! Survival
Removed the PvP combat timer from GriefPrevention as its recommended to not have 2 PvP tag timers, Still have the 15s PvP timer from our PvP Manager plugin, If there are any issues with Siege/combat after this change, please tell me and I will put it back on! I'm going off a recommendation from the developer. Survival

Updated to the latest version of Async WorldEdit/VoxelSniper.
Seems to have fixed a bunch of oddities that WorldEdit was having in basic tasks like copying and pasting! Cove Update!
A lot of you were online last night when I did quite a few updates and It was a little too late for me to write up changelogs, so these are from yesterday!
I re-designed /warp cove spawn/beach/Crate areas
I was desperate for more space at /warp cove as the beach was too small and everything was on top of each other/a jumbled mess.
I extended the beach dramatically and built a second beach opposite, i'm tempted to make more of the Cove beach so we have more room, what do you think? #⚓│general to tell me if you think I should make the beach bigger!
Moved /warp cove spawn to under the Bar for better "flow" of where to walk, and its closer to /warp ships
New information board that I can put graphics on! Currently its empty as I need to make my graphics!
Treasure Chests /treasure Got moved to individual ships on the shoreline (Thanks @IndexOutOfMJ & @ScriptX I borrowed this idea from your version of the cove! ) These guys are working on a longer term version of the cove! Stay tuned!
The Resource pack parrot `/getpack got his own stall, and I moved that giant hologram for it!
Room for activities! Drops, chests, whatever, just more room! Im tempted to make it bigger! Store - Stripe Fixed!
Card payments fixed on store
After messaging Tebex/BuyCraft they somehow fixed Stripe (Card payments, Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress) working, they must have borked something their end!
I have no idea how long this has been broken, sorry for the inconvenience!
I pay for this service from Tebex/BuyCraft , They only have one job, process payments!

Its GP's own PvP 15s timer, which conflicts with the actual PvP tagging plugins 15s timer, apparently if you disable the PvP timer in GP, it changes how siege works with block placement according to @RoMich02 , this literally makes no sense why they would program it this way to be related to the PvP timer, buy hey ho, this isn't a world of logic or good choices when it comes to Minecraft development!

Added a new message when you have used up all your /sethomes to explain how to get more homes, hopefully this will work with deckhands that ask how to set more homes!
Idea was from Discord, Reached 95 servers on discord and it was asking me to get Nitro to get up to 200! NEW! collectable Mob head drops!
Mob kills will now have a 10% chance in dropping a mob head for ALL mobs!
Some mobs like sheep have 16 differnt heads to collect! Each one is custom!
You cannot farm these! Each time you get a mob head drop your chance for another one drops by 50%! This gets reset each server reboot!
ℹ️ You can use your looting enchanted items for a better chance in head drops!
Level 1 Looting: +5.0%
Level 2 Looting: +10.0%
Level 3 Looting: +15.0%
Lore will be custom to you! your username will be forever bound to that head drop to make it unique!
I have also designed the lore to follow my new Collectable Items Color Code! These are classed as Common
https://piratemc.com/guides/treasure/
The End Dragon has a 100% chance in dropping a head, a whole changelog will be required for that change!
its entirely possible to request MORE heads to be added to a mob! You can make a #🔭archived-suggestions with a head from https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads for an additional head to be added to a mob!
ℹ️ Its entirely possible to have context based head drops, for example a charged creeper or a baby mob! None of the heads currently have these options! so get finding and suggesting!
ℹ️ Droprates, lowered with each kill rates or changes per head may change at any time! these are not fixed in stone values!
Re-opened up /warp end
Fixed void deaths re-spawning you at /warp end Survival
Updated Anti-cheat plugin
Nerfed mob head drops from the previous changelog (Look directly above this one) based off this #🔭archived-suggestions via @gepetrus due to my drop rates being way to high and making the heads not even the slightest bit hard to obtain!
https://discord.com/channels/139382225375330305/353285140350500874/860081049126961182
All mobs head drops (Apart from Dragon) are now 1% drop chance.
Looting Enchanted items are now:
Level 1 Looting: +0.5%
Level 2 Looting: +1.0%
Level 3 Looting: +1.5%
ℹ️ I was a lot more generous with the enchanted item bonus than the suggestion to counter the suggestion to remove the farming limiter of 50% for Lower With Each Drop which has to be kept. 1.17.1 clients can now connect to the 1.12.2 server!

The dragon is entirely vanilla AI (yes it sucks) Not much we can do about this until a new Boss is made to replace it (Very low on the priority list!) Blog

Opened up the lumberjack at /warp cove to everyone for a week to see how much money the server can generate in 1 week to everyone!

For those that don't know, each plugin logs actions, for example the admin NPCs at /warp cove each time someone buys/sells from these its logged into a text file per day. Now when you have years of files and multiple NPCs if you wanted to calculate total money generated from these NPCS (the lumberjack) vs money taken out of the eco (Ship shop or Cannons shop) you would have to go and open each file, sort each line into buy/sell and count up all the money generated and money spent, but nobody is going to have time for that
So I've finished Part 1 of one of my millions of to-do items which was to write a custom parsing script for the Admin Shop NPC's, this is to go with the recent #📢│announcements about opening up the Lumberjack at /warp cove again to actually be able to track day to day its sales, all times money in/out and any other kind of report we can think of!
I've called this Part 1, as each Economy plugin has its own separate logs which are usually not following any standard log format (God damn developers! ) so its going to be a long boring process to write these scripts for each separate plugins eco logs! So I will make them over a long space of time when each is needed
Long term plan will be to have everything logged into one giant searchable database.
You may not see the outcome from the history of sales from these NPCS unless you pay close attention to SmartArse Tuesday posts! This is an admin tool to generate actual analytics & data for us to see how introducing more methods of income/spending works
Not sure if anyone cares about this, just thought I would tell anyone that may ♂️
I do a lot of things like this in the background, give this post an upvote if you like this kind of background information. If not I wont both you again with extra!
I wrote a custom parser script for Admin shop NPCS. Website
Re-enabled the captcha for register page, I have no idea how the captcha turned itself off! Ahh! Website
I created a universal Build of the month entry form on the website (and other comps later), no more requiring @Media to make Google forms to collect entries!
https://piratemc.com/competitions/
Logs to database for myself
Logs into a Google spreadsheet that is shared with @Moderator @Admin @deleted-role so everyone can keep track of submissions.
Emails a copy of your submission to yourself if you are logged into the website and a copy to the current @Media Team member that is managing BOTM/Competition.
Date selection allows people to submit to a future BOTM/Comp in anticipation of finishing a build or if they just missed a competition entry (25th)
Added option to attach a video if you are creative and want to add one!
Re-iterated that build entry can be a build from any period you have built it, it does not have to be withing X time.
Added @DeofiloW1 as Forum Mod/Media Badge on forums so he can Sticky & manage Competition forum threads to show up in /motd
BOTM August 2021 is now open

Disabled Lumberjack NPC for everyone, back to Deckhand & Cadet, super awesome to see how much money you all generated into the server in 7 days! I'm super glad I wrote my custom script! Given us a much better idea of how it was used over its history per day & all time (Daily sales went up 343% thanks to @Bazurka maths!)
Might be nice to do this injection from time to time!
