Survival
Fixed the Next/Previous having a strikethrough in /guides out of the blue, as the developer decided to change how formatting works, thanks for noticing @Deleted User
System
️ Changed to an entirely different branch of Java to see if this has any effect on the JVM crashes
️ Removed All Java JVM Flags, this may reduce performance, but I need to know if these are the cause of issues. this is trial and error.
Updated Bungee server.
Survival
Re-added ships
Re-added Big animated doors
Updated Jump pads plugin
Updated premium suite of essentials plugin
Updated pet parrots plugin
Fixed chat plugin after yesterdays aftermath from CloudFlare going down.
ℹ️ Yesterday CloudFlare went down, which took down half the internet as it serves as the backbone to most services, Including Discord (If you wondered yesterday why discord wasnt working) PirateCraft website also uses CloudFlarfe, when it took down the website it broke my /motd update script which pulls from the website Forums/Blog posts, which in turn broke the Chat plugin!
Survival
Fixed permission create /doors again, the update added new permissions.
Gave @Admin the /doors ability to re-locate the power block.
Creative
Removed Java startup flags from Creative too.
Survival
Updated all the region flags at /spawn
You can now use buttons/levers at spawn
You can now kill passive mobs at spawn (Like the chickens people spawn)

Denied using TNT/Flint and steel/frosted ice boots/block-trampling/enderman-grief
Survival
Yo dawg, i heard you like maps, so i made a map of the map 
at /spawn
This player spawned as I put it down and instantly used the /map command, talk about instant use!
Clicking the Hologram will also run /map
Via @Deleted User in #🔭archived-suggestions 
Survival
Added /tpyes and /tpno as alias for tpaccept/tpdeny via #🔭archived-suggestions by @Cysteen (Next reboot)
Added /ob and /over as alias for /manoverboard via #🔭archived-suggestions by @Jim25j (Next reboot)
ℹ️ The /Mob you suggested is too confusing with mobs in-game.
Survival
Removed all /vote top commands, due to them crashing the server/lagging the server, I found I reported this to the developer a year ago, and he refused to add 1.12.2 support, i will try again as he fixed this in later versions for 1.13+. Thanks for the report @Deleted User
ℹ️ Use /vote help to list all the commands you can use with voting.
ℹ️ You can still see the top 5 people at /warp cove through the heads in the vote room, I will extend this to top 10.
Discord
Added new temporary channel #🔫guns_testing given the chaotic responses filling #🔭suggestions_chat. PLEASE keep this relevant and helpful. Thanks @Markusi13 <3
Updated channel names to replace '_' with '-' for consistency per suggestion from @Deleted User
Survival
Updated brew board with 2 new brews. Good luck!
Play server
I got the /server play PvP server close to alpha testing, then IRL got in the way and it took a backseat, going for a revive, I will need help with it/ideas on what direction to make it go.
Shortcut is play.piratemc.com in the server list for its own direct connect, currently whitelisted.
Updated Main PvP plugin
Updated Anti-Cheat
Updated protocol hack for newer clients.
Updated Protocolib
Updated 4 EssentialsX pluigins
Updated NPC plugin
Updated chat plugin
Updated premium suite of essentails plugin
Removed Java startup flags
Survival
Updated VotingPlugin, I managed to get the developer to backwards port his newer versions to 1.12.2 and hes working on fixing heads for 1.12.2 in top lists, this should allow me to re-enable /vote top to stop it crashing the server, but it will show paper instead of peoples heads atm.
Updated NPCS, Implanted a fix to stop NPCS being stolen using boats.
Updated Discord plugin from Snapshot to release
Survival
Re-enabled /warp warm-ups for all non-captains/staff. Not sure when this broke, something must have updated with the Premium essentials plugin, At least youve all had a while of instant warp teleport to experience Captain rank teleport speed!
Added particles for teleport like when you /tpa
Uses the cool boss-bar timer countdown like /tpa
Re-added /vote top using later version of plugin that was backdated just for us!
This is now 1000x faster to load and go through pages.
Sadly due to how heads changed in 1.13, the backdate wont work with heads, so it just shows paper, but at least its working!
No longer crash the server.
Added /vote list to quickly show the vote list, this was a #🔭archived-suggestions from ages ago, that got implemented back then, but it was for 1.13 versions only until today!
I was forced to change the color system for /vote links, as whatever changes he made, he made it so I cant set colors on URLS otherwise they cant be clicked. LAME 
, not cool, now we have to have all white urls in vote.
Survival
Updated /warp cove vote room.
Now shows top 10 monthly voters
New shows top 7 weekly voters.
Expensive Blocks to show whos top at first glance. 
Survival
Re-made S79 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @VEDEVE
If anyone else wants their stall changed to a popup at shop7 and made bigger, I need to re-make them, since the stalls are basically empty with 1 sign, I will change them all to popups. 
Survival
Spent the entire day changing all Design, Portals, Holograms & Warps for all of /shop warps & Portals so you cant accidently walk into a portal, via #🔭archived-suggestions via @TheTikiTotem @Espul requesting all portals be removed, Im not removing the ability for new players to find the market, so I have re-made them all to be impossible (unless you are really stupid) to walk into by accident.
Thanks to @Pjeturr helping build & design with me.
/warp shop
Redesigned, so the warp is above the portal, so its now impossible to accidently walk into the portal.
Color coded each Pirate Marketplace, so each market has its own official color.
Changed the particle effect for all portals.
/shop1 /shop2 /shop3 /shop4 /shop5 /shop6 /shop7 /shop8
Redesigned, so the warp is above the portal, so its now impossible to accidently walk into the portal.
Created Hologram for every marketplace, made the decision to call these "Pirate Markets" not Pirate shops.
Changed the particle effect for all portals.
Gave each market its own color.
Made all portals exit where the warp exits, so you can never accidently walk into the portal. 
Survival
Re-made S81 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @Palmerto
If anyone else wants their stall changed to a popup at /shop7 and made bigger, I need to re-make them, since the stalls are basically empty with 1 sign, I will change them all to popups. 
Survival
I figured out I can send messages to discord channels using a command in-game, so im going to alert for some automated things.
Each month we have 2 winners for the most /vote you can check /vote top to see where you are, the top 2 peolpe at the end of the month will win 2 custom items you can see at /warp cove, now this message is broadcast in-game once, so nobody gets to know who won it! So i've set it up to send a message into #🎉│giveaway-events each month when the prizes are given out with the winners username so we can have a full log!
Added automated messages to be sent into #🛒│marketplace when a shop gets unrented and rented, so we can have a searchable way to track how often they rent/unrent.
Survival
Via @NicoSemsrott in #🔭archived-suggestions gave @Helper use of &f &r in chat for White text and reset to reset to default.
Via @Fabul0usGandalf in #🔭archived-suggestions Updated /warp ship3 icon on the live map, I also updated the message for the Ship Docks 2 map icon.
Creative
Updated /doors to work properly again, same permissions as survival.
Survival
Via @kass in #🔭archived-suggestions Made chairs be able to be longer, from 3 long to a maximum of 10 long.
@kass changed the messages when you use chairs which are also now live.
Discord
Via @Deleted User in #🔭archived-suggestions changed all Discord channels to use underscores as spaces (As i'm used to this in programming too!)
Much more consistent not having a mix, sorry @Deleted User for removing all your dashes lol
Survival
Via @gepetrus in #🔭archived-suggestions moved the Live /map Icon for /warp west to its updated location, it was still set in the old warp location.
Survival
Updated /warp travel
Changed all portal particles to be more dense & changed particle, much easier to see now.
Moved down all the Holograms to eye level & added additional information per-warp to explain what the areas for. 
Survival
Updated Premium suite of Essentails plugin
I requested using portals should not reset your last location for /back This is now live, you should be able to use portals from today without setting your last location after using them! Via a bug report that was posted in #🔭archived-suggestions 
Fixes right clicking heads again to see who's head they are!
Survival
Greatly increased how often the spam/chat filter resets, it was set to reset every 400 seconds, it now resets every 60 seconds via @Tech607_ in #🔭archived-suggestions we will see how this works live.
Doesn't seem to make sense, Set it back to what it was, and disabled the points system entirely, as its getting blocked no matter what I change this too, what I dont understand how some people are able to spam the same thing over and over, yet in my testing I cant even do it once. Makes no sense.
This will have to go on the backburner.
Survival
Updated NPC Admin Shop
Hopefully fixed hot key bug when using shift+number on all inventory It was the admin shop plugin all along! via #deleted-channel @Nationalistic @Deleted User
Updated Premium suite of essentials plugin, theres an interesting fix I want to test out.
Updated head plugin for decorative purposes.
Survival
Added Via @NicoSemsrott in #🔭archived-suggestions gave @Helper and above /afk and I have also allowed the AFK message /afk [message] to be set staff will not abuse it!
Added @Moderator and above being able to /afk <user> being able to set AFK status on user.
Added made @Moderator + exempt from the AFK kick.
Moved /warp event to Cove museum
Moved Summer Hell Items NPC to Cove museum (I need to add the newer items to him still)
Removed all Spawners for Summer Hell event 2020. This event has now ended!
Website
Via @IgnFry in #🔭archived-suggestions Removed the "Chat requires login" from the Livemap, we no longer allow using the live map chat feature, thats reserved for Discord server boosters and staff, cant figure out how to fully remove the "login" on the bottom right tho!
PSA for /doors
Ive been playing detective for a while to figure out the redstone bugs with /doors see #deleted-channel and #🔭suggestions_chat of me talking to myself to figure things out, I figured out these things;
/doors automatically sets the "power block" a Gold block you will have to place, to control the door via redstone in the centre under the portcullis/drawbridge/sliding door, but I found a few bugs I've reported...
At present there is a bug where if you use even number of blocks width for say a drawbridge /portcullis/sliding door, it cant properly find a center and will put it in either the left or right center block location, and the door wont work with redstone until a reboot happens (I found the bug and I've reported it).
You have /doorinfo and /inspectpowerblock when you use /doors and hover over a door, it will give you the ID of the door, you can use this to find the doorinfo which will tell you where to place the power block, its generally in the center unless its a big swinging door where then its directly under the hinge, this is still a pain in the ass, I have suggested a request he adds a system that highlights the block you need to place the "power block" Gold block to control it from redstone, as this is a bit of a pain in the ass, then you can use /inspectpowerblock on the power block.
Big swinging doors set the "power block" under the hinge not in the center to confuse matters
once its working with redstone, that power block can be controlled via any redstone, which means you can then set /accesstrust on your claim to people for using buttons/levers but not give them trust permission, for shared farms etc, so then its 1 trust system and not having multiple systems, nice and simple.
ℹ️ Ive submitted the bugs that I found out & requested improving visuals for the power block, hopefully it gets added, for now use the steps above to figure out where to place it.,
Survival
Updated Ships plugin, this should hopefully be a fix for fuel types, I will need to first change the parameters in the ship files to work with this one, but a step closer!
This update also added fading wrecks too that needs to be tested.
Updated premium suite of essentials plugin, just random fixes nothing major, it did add warp groups which is interesting, I hope it doesn't break my existing laid out warps.
Updated /doors plugin, from my previous changelog (Last post, read up) and testing I found some bugs which should hopefully should be fixed in this alpha build.
The issue with where the power block is placed and requiring a reboot should be fixed, the issue was a cache that needed to be emptied, so now the power block should automatically be placed and work without a reboot, remember find it with /doorinfo
I got a feature added I requested, having a limit on distance a power block can be re-set at, before this was infinite you could create a power block for a door anywhere in the world! Which is why It had to be disabled, now this has been added, hopefully I should be able to set the maximum distance a power block can be set from a door (The same distance that I use for wireless redstone for the shop plugin!) so not only should the power block be fixed, we should be able to pick and set where it is to power via redstone.
Updated the server list MOTD to not mention the now closed event.
Glad I did that testing and report now.
Discord
Added the ability to request crew channels, look at #deleted-channel for more information.
Survival
Requested in-game, added /suicide with a 30m cooldown. There was a reason I removed it originally, but I cant remember why, so treat this as a temporary thing! Most likely something to do with PVP. #🔭suggestions_chat to remind me why I turned this off originally! It can be a Saturday command 
Survival
Updated the NPC at /warp cove Museum that showcases all Summer 2020 Hell event items.
Suggestion: Each old event should have a corresponding NPC to showcase all existing event items just like this one in the Museum! I challenge you @CallieMav to organise chests of each event with items in!

ℹ️ First shop I've done with a basement with chests already in it! Wish I did this and not obsidian rooms for all shops 
♂️
Shop design by @BGraph pinched from Ceylon!
ℹ️ @Grafando Your S62 nextdoor could be extended both out back, forwards and in height. If you empty it all out, I can delete and re-create it for you, if someone has a long skinny build I could fit in there. 
Test

Changed all the prices of Ship-in-a-bottle from £250 to only £150 for schooners!
ℹ️ Ship-in-a-bottle is a schematic of a ship that you can buy and place anywhere in the world you have build permission! This means you can buy a ship and place it at your base! buy from the ship shop at /warp cove or from the Shipwright at /warp ships
ℹ️ I really need to re-name these from Build Crate to Ship-in-a-bottle to not confuse people... then again how will I do my other things like trees? 
Survival
Created 6 New Dhow Ship-in-a-bottle Build crates at only £50 each!
I created all the Dhows at /warp ships as buyable Build crates that let you place the ship anywhere in the world! They are only £50 in-game!

Fixed being able to post https://piratemc.com links into game-chat, with https/www prefix for everyone! You can now re-send guides to people/forum posts/wiki pages, I had no idea it was broken, found this out myself by accident!
There was some really bad Rexex going on for our URL checker, I really really need a regex expert to help me fine tune our regex, I hate it!
If anything else gets through the filter apart from piratemc.com/spotify links, report in #deleted-channel right away, £500 in-game for anyone that finds a URL that you can use in-game that bypasses the filter that people can click (Brute force testing?)
Added Spotify URLS to whitelist for in-game chat links (No, I'm not adding youtube/imgur/reddit/discord anything else so don't ask!)
Survival
Removed broken crane at /warp ships
Remade all the Schooner ship in a bottles schooner_dock1, schooner_dock2, schooner_dock3, schooner_dock4, schooner_dock5
All 5 now facing the right way (from behind)
All now place at sea level "Sea" the gold block in the screenshot, this is where you would place them to be perfectly placed.
Remember even if you screw it up you can /sb undo and get it back to re-place!
Started building an area at /warp ships where peolpe will be able to place their ship in a bottles I keep seeing new players buy these and try and place them in cove... even though we have docks for them to buy the same ship cheaper!
This will also double up as one of my very old #🔭archived-suggestions from about 3 years ago for Wood/wool changing dock, only downside is we will have to make it a £1 rent for the dock to stop people changing your sails as you try and sail away or just burn your ship down, plus we will need a way to clear the area from debris/crap people leave behind auto (See screenshot) 
Discord
Created a new subcategory called Testing Channels, all current and future channels related to testing will be there.

Remade all the Dhow ship in a bottles dhow_dock6, dhow_dock7, dhow_dock8, dhow_dock9, dhow_dock10, dhow_dock11,

All now place at sea level "Sea" the gold block in the screenshot, this is where you would place them to be perfectly placed.
Remember even if you screw it up you can /sb undo and get it back to re-place!
ℹ️ Right now thats the small ships done for in bottles, shall I do some of the bigger ones at warps? or should I do other assets like trees/cannons etc? 
Survival
Updated /warp ships
Added 3 holograms to explain the 2 types of buying a pre-made ship (Docks & Ship-in-a-bottle), Dhows for new players and Schooners for Sailor+
When you click the green question mark in the Shipwright/Ship Shop NPC it will open the how to sail book guide!
Added How to sail parrot at /warp ships
Created new dock 0 that you can rent for £5 in-game.
This is an empty dock, for placing a ship-in-a-bottle
This acts as a tutorial/demo on how to place a ship-in-a-bottle (At sea level)
You could if you wanted, just build a ship in this dock as its empty.
Moved Shipwright/Ship Shop NPC to middle where you spawn, so there's no longer 2.
Moved the warp back a bit to give more room for holograms and information
Redesigned the area. 
Survival
Fixed Depth Strider on /kit firstmate Sprinters water heels from #deleted-channel
Fixed Discord link saying you get $20 for linking (You don't any more) via @kass https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/23
Changed /spawn to the same teleport system as /tp and /warp /back etc so you'll get the same warmup bossbar timer for spawn.
(I'm still working on how the hell to convert homes)
Finally fixed my name showing red when I talk from Discord in-game, I had to change my default role color on discord for an exact hex. 
Survival
Added Block 95 (Stained Glass) to Required Blocks for Barracuda, Seawolf and Submarine to allow the use of stained glass as a required block, they were already allowed just not allowed as a required block.

Survival
Added Wooden doors to ignored blocks when right clciking a door with an ender pearl in your hand (Very very tiny issue here haha!). Will no longer trigger the enderpearl cooldown. Effective as of next restart as the plugin does not have a reload command.

PSA If you have pistons in a chunk that "randomly" don't extend, its because you have placed them in the same chunk you have a brewing barrel.

Survival Crew update continued.. Seriously Discord, sort it out.
/crew Now uses a GUI to make things much easier.
The feature to create your own crew banner is not yet out, we are waiting patiently for this! In the near future you will be able to set a crew banner per crew!
Its possible to set an alliance limit now (Not set) #🔭archived-suggestions if you think we should set one, and to what number.
Added language support for /crew crews can set their own native language for their crew.
Added feature for minimum members to verify crew (Not enabled) #🔭archived-suggestions if we should have a Minimum crew size to verify crews.
Chat plugin - Crew pirates are no longer able to message a player that is ignoring them.
I forgot to update the messages for crews, so next reboot the GUI menu messages will be updated, the reload command somehow doesn't refresh these.
Survival
Temporarily disabled /ignore permission as it was crashing the server, chat plugin update has caused this. bug reported.
ℹ️ After finding this bug I looked up to see if it was someone spamming the /ignore command to purposefully crash the server, but it turns out that @VEDEVE is so annoying that 5 people this morning all tried to ignore him/her crashing the server 5 times.
Congratulations @VEDEVE for being so irritating that your personality crashed the server 5 times today.
Survival
Added permissions for adding crew permissions, listing perms, seeing available and removing permissions from ranks from Carpenter+ via #deleted-channel @PIPPIP5789
Survival
Removed any crew related fee permissions from previous uses even if they were not active. via #deleted-channel
Survival
Disabled Discord plugin auto banning people, it wasn't working as the bot didn't have the right perms in the first place, but after looking at the errors its tried to ban 85 people in the last few hours. Good thing I didn't give it permission! That does not work as expected, its going through all existing bans.
Survival
Fixed /crew formatting being picked up by the messages file, so its now showing the proper messages (The developer renamed the file and didn't tell anyone!) 
PSA I'm aware that your changes to crews are not being saved when the server restarts with the latest Crew update, don't sweat poppets, I'm working with the developer to try and resolve it.
Once its resolved I will be able to roll back crew data if needed/requested only once its fixed All the backups!
Survival
Updated /me to be grey, but I already hate it and want to change it, may change again soon. 
Discord
Deleted crew channels subcategory and its channels.
Moved #deleted-channel back to the Piratecraft subcategory.

Updated Premium Suite
Updated Chat plugin (Didn't fix the /ignore crashes even though he said he fixed them!)
I have DISABLED The ignore feature in the plugin, yet somehow it still is trying to run ignore features when 2 people are online that one is ignored from the other.
This has been a battle to even get this bug recognised and hes half-assed "Fixed" it, which hasn't fixed it, Getting sick of this developer, still causing crashes.
Updated Entity manager, performance boost.
Updated Live Map plugin
Updated Anti-cheat
Bungee
Updated Bungee server
Survival
Wiped whitelist as people keep logging in while I'm in maintenance testing, triggering the ignore check and crashing the server, somehow this isnt even working as you are still joining.
Updated all 4x EssentialsX of plugins due to the geniuses replying to my ticket about the /ignore crashes, This in-turn broke the custom mob plugin just in time for the new event! Great job! Cant backdate as it updates data.
Removed Custom mob plugin & disguise plugin that goes with it.
Backdated Chat Plugin (To resolve the crashes) This may cause untold other effects from other plugins now. but im out of options until the developer gets off his ass.
Survival
Removed [jukebox] entirely from the sign shop plugin as it was creating lag spikes when used!
Moved back all the parrots to spawn that you stole...

Updated /crew plugin

Fixed roster not switching pages
Should fix hovering crews for Alliances / Rivalries being too long
Adds cache for player heads
Updated Essentials suite of plugins
Website
ℹ️ If the website suddenly got super fast, its because I had a little moan on the hosts Facebook for silently throttling customers.
I opened a ticket about the issue and they wouldn't admit it, but magically the website got 100x faster 20 mins after that ticket and Facebook posts!
They tried to tell me something was using too many resources that isn't even run on their servers, which was hilarious.
When my 3 year contract is up with them, I will be moving away from hosting the website with them, Especially when their initial answer was to "upgrade" to their even more expensive plan because they throttled me and tried to blame it on non existent issues like I'm some pleb, I kind of feel I should maybe make this known as these practises are disgusting for customers that will just believe them.
TLDR: website got faster again.
Cleanup
Done a large-scale cleanup around cove area, will be doing other oceans soon.
️ If you want claims removed or land regened, please ask staff in-game or put it in #deleted-channel 
Discord
Added/renamed emoji for 'added / fixed' for #🔭archived-suggestions and #deleted-channel 
Survival
Buffed limits on mobs per chunk, details below;
Grouped similar mobs together instead of having individual spawn limits to remember: Animals, Monsters, Nether & End. Matched each mob group limit to 30 mobs per chunk so its easier to remember, this means you could have a mix of 120 mobs in one chunk if its a mix of Animals, Monsters, Nether & End mobs, this will never happen mind!
DOUBLED Guardian spawn limit, which is an exception to the groups.
REMOVED LIMIT on Elder guardian via @Xeron advice that they don't often spawn, so they have no limit now.
We will see how these go and adjust from there! Since Guardian farms are the worst abusers of server resources!
Survival
Added secret Treasure Hunt Hidden at /warp cove!
Yarr! Happy Hunting! If you find it, keep it secret! (everyone can loot it once!)
This Hunt will stay up, you can search for it any time!

Converted to new /mail System (From Premium Essentials suite for click actions and notifications/sounds)
Mail Sound & Hotbar message when you receive /mail now
Send Mail to people with /mail send <username> <message> like before.
Click to delete in-chat (Much easier)
Next restart will be Click to reply (Much easier)
You can still clear all with /mail clear
Much clearer to read with colored usernames & bright yellow messages, as opposed to before!
Old messages were not deleted, you can read your old messages using the old system with /email read but you can no longer reply using the old system, it may be worth running /email clear to wipe your old mail if you want to keep
I created a custom script to see how many messages all 260k people have and its used so little its not worth the conversion, so nice start from scratch!
Edited the message for the old /email system to explain the change, this is the message you get when you log in and it tells you how many mail you have, you can fully remove this message by doing /email clear
ℹ️ I plan to remove the old /email system in the near future so people will no longer get that message from the old mail system when they log in, so either read your messages and clear them. Or if you have lots (say 50+ you keep for old times sake) you can contact me and I can send you a file with all your messages in a text format.

ℹ️ Yesterday CloudFlare went down, which took down half the internet as it serves as the backbone to most services, Including Discord (If you wondered yesterday why discord wasnt working) PirateCraft website also uses CloudFlarfe, when it took down the website it broke my /motd update script which pulls from the website Forums/Blog posts, which in turn broke the Chat plugin!

Updated NPCS, Implanted a fix to stop NPCS being stolen using boats.
Updated Discord plugin from Snapshot to release Survival
Re-enabled /warp warm-ups for all non-captains/staff. Not sure when this broke, something must have updated with the Premium essentials plugin, At least youve all had a while of instant warp teleport to experience Captain rank teleport speed!
Added particles for teleport like when you /tpa
Uses the cool boss-bar timer countdown like /tpa
Re-added /vote top using later version of plugin that was backdated just for us!
This is now 1000x faster to load and go through pages.
Sadly due to how heads changed in 1.13, the backdate wont work with heads, so it just shows paper, but at least its working!
No longer crash the server.
Added /vote list to quickly show the vote list, this was a #🔭archived-suggestions from ages ago, that got implemented back then, but it was for 1.13 versions only until today!
I was forced to change the color system for /vote links, as whatever changes he made, he made it so I cant set colors on URLS otherwise they cant be clicked. LAME , not cool, now we have to have all white urls in vote. Survival
Updated /warp cove vote room.
Now shows top 10 monthly voters
New shows top 7 weekly voters.
Expensive Blocks to show whos top at first glance. Survival
Re-made S79 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @VEDEVE
If anyone else wants their stall changed to a popup at shop7 and made bigger, I need to re-make them, since the stalls are basically empty with 1 sign, I will change them all to popups. Survival
Spent the entire day changing all Design, Portals, Holograms & Warps for all of /shop warps & Portals so you cant accidently walk into a portal, via #🔭archived-suggestions via @TheTikiTotem @Espul requesting all portals be removed, Im not removing the ability for new players to find the market, so I have re-made them all to be impossible (unless you are really stupid) to walk into by accident.
Thanks to @Pjeturr helping build & design with me.
/warp shop
Redesigned, so the warp is above the portal, so its now impossible to accidently walk into the portal.
Color coded each Pirate Marketplace, so each market has its own official color.
Changed the particle effect for all portals.
/shop1 /shop2 /shop3 /shop4 /shop5 /shop6 /shop7 /shop8
Redesigned, so the warp is above the portal, so its now impossible to accidently walk into the portal.
Created Hologram for every marketplace, made the decision to call these "Pirate Markets" not Pirate shops.
Changed the particle effect for all portals.
Gave each market its own color.
Made all portals exit where the warp exits, so you can never accidently walk into the portal. Survival
Re-made S81 /shop7 to be a popup (Semi shop) instead of a stall & made it much bigger. Re-given to @Palmerto
If anyone else wants their stall changed to a popup at /shop7 and made bigger, I need to re-make them, since the stalls are basically empty with 1 sign, I will change them all to popups. Survival
I figured out I can send messages to discord channels using a command in-game, so im going to alert for some automated things.
Each month we have 2 winners for the most /vote you can check /vote top to see where you are, the top 2 peolpe at the end of the month will win 2 custom items you can see at /warp cove, now this message is broadcast in-game once, so nobody gets to know who won it! So i've set it up to send a message into #🎉│giveaway-events each month when the prizes are given out with the winners username so we can have a full log!
Added automated messages to be sent into #🛒│marketplace when a shop gets unrented and rented, so we can have a searchable way to track how often they rent/unrent. Survival

Via @IgnFry in #🔭archived-suggestions Removed the "Chat requires login" from the Livemap, we no longer allow using the live map chat feature, thats reserved for Discord server boosters and staff, cant figure out how to fully remove the "login" on the bottom right tho! PSA for /doors
Ive been playing detective for a while to figure out the redstone bugs with /doors see #deleted-channel and #🔭suggestions_chat of me talking to myself to figure things out, I figured out these things;
/doors automatically sets the "power block" a Gold block you will have to place, to control the door via redstone in the centre under the portcullis/drawbridge/sliding door, but I found a few bugs I've reported...
At present there is a bug where if you use even number of blocks width for say a drawbridge /portcullis/sliding door, it cant properly find a center and will put it in either the left or right center block location, and the door wont work with redstone until a reboot happens (I found the bug and I've reported it).
You have /doorinfo and /inspectpowerblock when you use /doors and hover over a door, it will give you the ID of the door, you can use this to find the doorinfo which will tell you where to place the power block, its generally in the center unless its a big swinging door where then its directly under the hinge, this is still a pain in the ass, I have suggested a request he adds a system that highlights the block you need to place the "power block" Gold block to control it from redstone, as this is a bit of a pain in the ass, then you can use /inspectpowerblock on the power block.
Big swinging doors set the "power block" under the hinge not in the center to confuse matters
once its working with redstone, that power block can be controlled via any redstone, which means you can then set /accesstrust on your claim to people for using buttons/levers but not give them trust permission, for shared farms etc, so then its 1 trust system and not having multiple systems, nice and simple.
ℹ️ Ive submitted the bugs that I found out & requested improving visuals for the power block, hopefully it gets added, for now use the steps above to figure out where to place it., Survival
Updated Ships plugin, this should hopefully be a fix for fuel types, I will need to first change the parameters in the ship files to work with this one, but a step closer!
This update also added fading wrecks too that needs to be tested.
Updated premium suite of essentials plugin, just random fixes nothing major, it did add warp groups which is interesting, I hope it doesn't break my existing laid out warps.
Updated /doors plugin, from my previous changelog (Last post, read up) and testing I found some bugs which should hopefully should be fixed in this alpha build.
The issue with where the power block is placed and requiring a reboot should be fixed, the issue was a cache that needed to be emptied, so now the power block should automatically be placed and work without a reboot, remember find it with /doorinfo
I got a feature added I requested, having a limit on distance a power block can be re-set at, before this was infinite you could create a power block for a door anywhere in the world! Which is why It had to be disabled, now this has been added, hopefully I should be able to set the maximum distance a power block can be set from a door (The same distance that I use for wireless redstone for the shop plugin!) so not only should the power block be fixed, we should be able to pick and set where it is to power via redstone.
Updated the server list MOTD to not mention the now closed event.
Glad I did that testing and report now. Discord
Added the ability to request crew channels, look at #deleted-channel for more information. Survival
Requested in-game, added /suicide with a 30m cooldown. There was a reason I removed it originally, but I cant remember why, so treat this as a temporary thing! Most likely something to do with PVP. #🔭suggestions_chat to remind me why I turned this off originally! It can be a Saturday command Survival
Updated the NPC at /warp cove Museum that showcases all Summer 2020 Hell event items.

Mark was kind enough to make a temporary #deleted-channel channel. So please put all feedback there and ping me with suggestions.
Don't put the crate stuff in #🔭archived-suggestions or #🔭suggestions_chat ta Survival
Fixed being able to post https://piratemc.com links into game-chat, with https/www prefix for everyone! You can now re-send guides to people/forum posts/wiki pages, I had no idea it was broken, found this out myself by accident!
There was some really bad Rexex going on for our URL checker, I really really need a regex expert to help me fine tune our regex, I hate it!
If anything else gets through the filter apart from piratemc.com/spotify links, report in #deleted-channel right away, £500 in-game for anyone that finds a URL that you can use in-game that bypasses the filter that people can click (Brute force testing?)
Added Spotify URLS to whitelist for in-game chat links (No, I'm not adding youtube/imgur/reddit/discord anything else so don't ask!) Survival
Removed broken crane at /warp ships
Remade all the Schooner ship in a bottles schooner_dock1, schooner_dock2, schooner_dock3, schooner_dock4, schooner_dock5
All 5 now facing the right way (from behind)
All now place at sea level "Sea" the gold block in the screenshot, this is where you would place them to be perfectly placed.
Remember even if you screw it up you can /sb undo and get it back to re-place!
Started building an area at /warp ships where peolpe will be able to place their ship in a bottles I keep seeing new players buy these and try and place them in cove... even though we have docks for them to buy the same ship cheaper!
This will also double up as one of my very old #🔭archived-suggestions from about 3 years ago for Wood/wool changing dock, only downside is we will have to make it a £1 rent for the dock to stop people changing your sails as you try and sail away or just burn your ship down, plus we will need a way to clear the area from debris/crap people leave behind auto (See screenshot) Discord
Created a new subcategory called Testing Channels, all current and future channels related to testing will be there. Survival
Remade all the Dhow ship in a bottles dhow_dock6, dhow_dock7, dhow_dock8, dhow_dock9, dhow_dock10, dhow_dock11,
All 6 now facing the right way (from behind)
All now place at sea level "Sea" the gold block in the screenshot, this is where you would place them to be perfectly placed.
Remember even if you screw it up you can /sb undo and get it back to re-place!
ℹ️ Right now thats the small ships done for in bottles, shall I do some of the bigger ones at warps? or should I do other assets like trees/cannons etc? Survival
Updated /warp ships
Added 3 holograms to explain the 2 types of buying a pre-made ship (Docks & Ship-in-a-bottle), Dhows for new players and Schooners for Sailor+
When you click the green question mark in the Shipwright/Ship Shop NPC it will open the how to sail book guide!
Added How to sail parrot at /warp ships
Created new dock 0 that you can rent for £5 in-game.
This is an empty dock, for placing a ship-in-a-bottle
This acts as a tutorial/demo on how to place a ship-in-a-bottle (At sea level)
You could if you wanted, just build a ship in this dock as its empty.
Moved Shipwright/Ship Shop NPC to middle where you spawn, so there's no longer 2.
Moved the warp back a bit to give more room for holograms and information
Redesigned the area. Survival
Fixed Depth Strider on /kit firstmate Sprinters water heels from #deleted-channel
Fixed Discord link saying you get $20 for linking (You don't any more) via @kass https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/23
Changed /spawn to the same teleport system as /tp and /warp /back etc so you'll get the same warmup bossbar timer for spawn.
(I'm still working on how the hell to convert homes)
Finally fixed my name showing red when I talk from Discord in-game, I had to change my default role color on discord for an exact hex. Survival
Added Block 95 (Stained Glass) to Required Blocks for Barracuda, Seawolf and Submarine to allow the use of stained glass as a required block, they were already allowed just not allowed as a required block.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/22 Survival
Re-enabled No damage hits tagging people in PvP (Eggs/Snowballs) for the only reason PvP players want to stop people teleporting by throwing things at them, re-tagging them in PvP via @Griff who wanted it as theres no credit on the ticket.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/3 Survival
Added Wooden doors to ignored blocks when right clciking a door with an ender pearl in your hand (Very very tiny issue here haha!). Will no longer trigger the enderpearl cooldown. Effective as of next restart as the plugin does not have a reload command.
Will not be adding blocks that are locked in claims like Iron doors, Trapdoors, Gates etc due to people using enderpearls to try and spam through, so not adding them.
Full list:
ignored-block-types:
- "ENDER_CHEST"
- "CHEST"
- "CRAFTING_TABLE"
- "ACACIA_DOOR"
- "ACACIA_DOOR_ITEM"

Fixed spelling mistake that was reported as a bug.
Issue https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/12 Survival
PSA If you have pistons in a chunk that "randomly" don't extend, its because you have placed them in the same chunk you have a brewing barrel.
I figured out this really obscure bug diagnosing some kids piston door a while back and forgot to put it out as a PSA, ive reported it to the developer of the brewing plugin. so for now, don't put brewing barrel's in the same chunk you have pistons.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/18 Survival
Fixed /shop7 portal setting you really high up in the tree for some reason.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/16 Survival
Fixed being able to "Grief" other peoples water with sponges.
Removed the ability to use redstone sponges from WorldGuard, it was overriding GriefPrevention.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/4 Discord
Mark and I are trying out some different layouts in our discord, so if you see channels move around or disappear don't worry.
Ideas and feedback welcome, just tag me or mark in #⚓│general .
Nothing is ever set in stone! Survival
Added bypass for Captains for /spawn warmup, I did ask yesterday in-game when the new /spawn was added, not a single captain would give me 5 seconds to test it.
Issue: https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/27 Website
Fixed twitter URL on website sidebar & footer thanks @Markusi13 for the report.
Fixed link being https on discord link in footer
Removed teamspeak link from footer and removed from information dropdown on main menu (RIP TeamSpeak I love you, Fuck you discord) Discord

/crew Now uses a GUI to make things much easier.
The feature to create your own crew banner is not yet out, we are waiting patiently for this! In the near future you will be able to set a crew banner per crew!
Its possible to set an alliance limit now (Not set) #🔭archived-suggestions if you think we should set one, and to what number.
Added language support for /crew crews can set their own native language for their crew.
Added feature for minimum members to verify crew (Not enabled) #🔭archived-suggestions if we should have a Minimum crew size to verify crews.
Chat plugin - Crew pirates are no longer able to message a player that is ignoring them.
I forgot to update the messages for crews, so next reboot the GUI menu messages will be updated, the reload command somehow doesn't refresh these. Survival
Temporarily disabled /ignore permission as it was crashing the server, chat plugin update has caused this. bug reported.
ℹ️ After finding this bug I looked up to see if it was someone spamming the /ignore command to purposefully crash the server, but it turns out that @VEDEVE is so annoying that 5 people this morning all tried to ignore him/her crashing the server 5 times.
Congratulations @VEDEVE for being so irritating that your personality crashed the server 5 times today. Survival
Added permissions for adding crew permissions, listing perms, seeing available and removing permissions from ranks from Carpenter+ via #deleted-channel @PIPPIP5789 Survival
Removed any crew related fee permissions from previous uses even if they were not active. via #deleted-channel Survival
Disabled Discord plugin auto banning people, it wasn't working as the bot didn't have the right perms in the first place, but after looking at the errors its tried to ban 85 people in the last few hours. Good thing I didn't give it permission! That does not work as expected, its going through all existing bans. Survival
Fixed /crew formatting being picked up by the messages file, so its now showing the proper messages (The developer renamed the file and didn't tell anyone!) PSA I'm aware that your changes to crews are not being saved when the server restarts with the latest Crew update, don't sweat poppets, I'm working with the developer to try and resolve it.
Once its resolved I will be able to roll back crew data if needed/requested only once its fixed All the backups! Survival
Updated /me to be grey, but I already hate it and want to change it, may change again soon. Discord
Deleted crew channels subcategory and its channels.
Moved #deleted-channel back to the Piratecraft subcategory. Survival
Added Auction 18 use /auc in game see #📢│announcements for video for items Survival
Updated Premium Suite
Updated Chat plugin (Didn't fix the /ignore crashes even though he said he fixed them!)
I have DISABLED The ignore feature in the plugin, yet somehow it still is trying to run ignore features when 2 people are online that one is ignored from the other.
This has been a battle to even get this bug recognised and hes half-assed "Fixed" it, which hasn't fixed it, Getting sick of this developer, still causing crashes.
Updated Entity manager, performance boost.
Updated Live Map plugin
Updated Anti-cheat
Bungee
Updated Bungee server Survival
Wiped whitelist as people keep logging in while I'm in maintenance testing, triggering the ignore check and crashing the server, somehow this isnt even working as you are still joining.
Updated all 4x EssentialsX of plugins due to the geniuses replying to my ticket about the /ignore crashes, This in-turn broke the custom mob plugin just in time for the new event! Great job! Cant backdate as it updates data.
Removed Custom mob plugin & disguise plugin that goes with it.
Backdated Chat Plugin (To resolve the crashes) This may cause untold other effects from other plugins now. but im out of options until the developer gets off his ass. Survival
Removed [jukebox] entirely from the sign shop plugin as it was creating lag spikes when used!
Moved back all the parrots to spawn that you stole... Survival
Temporary removed Bungee cross server msg to make it work again in survival.
/msg should be working again.
ℹ️ Im waiting on the chat developer to fix a major bug. At present im having to use an outdated older version which creates other random issues. Survival
Summer Crate 2020 went live! Massive thanks to @Xeron creating the crate and all those that have tested it on test server! #📢│announcements
Summer Crate 2020 Keys being dropped every 30m to 1 lucky pirate that's online! you have to be in it to win it!
✅ Resolved this bug report https://github.com/PirateCraft/dev/issues/37
Added 15x summer crate 2020 keys to /donate and webstore http://donate.piratemc.com/category/1082114
Gave @Xeron use of my custom /dropkey which does a random drop to someone online just in-case he's doing an event!
Fixed XP being given in the vote crate, this was due to updating essentials who changed their formatting of how to give XP.
New Giveaway! For 3 pirates to win 15x Summer Crate keys all you have to do is visit #🎉│giveaway-events and ready to the giveaway Emoji! Survival
Updated /crew plugin
Changes crew names to crew tags for /crew alliances/rivalries
Fixed roster not switching pages
Should fix hovering crews for Alliances / Rivalries being too long
Adds cache for player heads
Updated Essentials suite of plugins Website
ℹ️ If the website suddenly got super fast, its because I had a little moan on the hosts Facebook for silently throttling customers.
I opened a ticket about the issue and they wouldn't admit it, but magically the website got 100x faster 20 mins after that ticket and Facebook posts!
They tried to tell me something was using too many resources that isn't even run on their servers, which was hilarious.
When my 3 year contract is up with them, I will be moving away from hosting the website with them, Especially when their initial answer was to "upgrade" to their even more expensive plan because they throttled me and tried to blame it on non existent issues like I'm some pleb, I kind of feel I should maybe make this known as these practises are disgusting for customers that will just believe them.
TLDR: website got faster again. Cleanup
Done a large-scale cleanup around cove area, will be doing other oceans soon.
️ If you want claims removed or land regened, please ask staff in-game or put it in #deleted-channel Discord
Added/renamed emoji for 'added / fixed' for #🔭archived-suggestions and #deleted-channel Survival
Buffed limits on mobs per chunk, details below;
Grouped similar mobs together instead of having individual spawn limits to remember: Animals, Monsters, Nether & End. Matched each mob group limit to 30 mobs per chunk so its easier to remember, this means you could have a mix of 120 mobs in one chunk if its a mix of Animals, Monsters, Nether & End mobs, this will never happen mind!
DOUBLED Guardian spawn limit, which is an exception to the groups.
REMOVED LIMIT on Elder guardian via @Xeron advice that they don't often spawn, so they have no limit now.
We will see how these go and adjust from there! Since Guardian farms are the worst abusers of server resources! Survival
Added secret Treasure Hunt Hidden at /warp cove!
Yarr! Happy Hunting! If you find it, keep it secret! (everyone can loot it once!)
This Hunt will stay up, you can search for it any time! Survival
New /auc for Today only! Grab yourself some Summer Crate 2020 Keys by being the highest bidder!Survival
Updated brewing hints at /warp brewing - Good luck! Survival
Converted to new /mail System (From Premium Essentials suite for click actions and notifications/sounds)
Mail Sound & Hotbar message when you receive /mail now
Send Mail to people with /mail send <username> <message> like before.
Click to delete in-chat (Much easier)
Next restart will be Click to reply (Much easier)
You can still clear all with /mail clear
Much clearer to read with colored usernames & bright yellow messages, as opposed to before!
Old messages were not deleted, you can read your old messages using the old system with /email read but you can no longer reply using the old system, it may be worth running /email clear to wipe your old mail if you want to keep
I created a custom script to see how many messages all 260k people have and its used so little its not worth the conversion, so nice start from scratch!
Edited the message for the old /email system to explain the change, this is the message you get when you log in and it tells you how many mail you have, you can fully remove this message by doing /email clear
ℹ️ I plan to remove the old /email system in the near future so people will no longer get that message from the old mail system when they log in, so either read your messages and clear them. Or if you have lots (say 50+ you keep for old times sake) you can contact me and I can send you a file with all your messages in a text format. Survival
Updated Premium suite.
Adds Click action to /mail
Updated Ships plugin
Updated Anti-cheat
