Creative
Gave EVERYONE WorldEdit on Creative!
I gave all WorldEdit commands/permissions to everyone.
I set limits per rank on the maximum amount of blocks you can edit at once, the further you rank up the more blocks you can edit/change at once!
Limits: Deckhand starts at 1000 block changes at once up to Firstmate which is 20,000 block changes at once. @Contributor Limit is set to 50000000 Blocks, which is 50 Million block changes in one go (Not joking!)
Creative
Gave everyone access to build the new Big animated doors on creative that were released on Survival yesterday #📢βannouncements
Survival
Added NPC at cove to open the /donate menu after fighting with it (The command isnt properly registered, god damn you Tebex!)

Survival
Added /contributorranks /donateranks /contributor to open Custom Info Book for /donate ranks thanks to @Deleted User (Next reboot)

Added a blacklist of blocks to the Big Animated doors plugin, starting with Bedrock and obsidian, doors opening to the void is a bit of an issue!
Please do #🔭archived-suggestions more blocks that should be on it, or we can work the other way around, having a whitelist and adding blocks we want to just be used for these big beautiful doors.
Current block blacklist:
- BEDROCK
- OBSIDIAN
- SPONGE
- DIAMOND_BLOCK
- BEACON
Added :D as dark green via #🔭archived-suggestions
Changed the May BOTM Missive to the JULY one via #🔭archived-suggestions
Survival
Added TRAPPED_CHEST, ENDER_CHEST, CHEST to the blacklist for the animated doors plugin, I really need to think of a name for the new doors plugin to explain it easier.
Survival
Created Davy Jones NPC to escape out of the Locker! Much easier to find than the old signs, which I have kept just in case the NPC breaks for any reason.
This means we can update the cost to get out whenever we wish without having to edit anything.

Removed Gravity from Turret and Crane Ship Type as some people are getting confused in #deleted-channel with Turrets/Cranes on ships causing Gravity assuming its all ships.
Temporarily removed Turret and Crane Ship Type permission due to reports in #deleted-channel I'm waiting on @Developer to respond to me, as this seems like a bug and out of my control.
Survival
New permission to set an auto close timer on your big animated /doors just click the timer in the GUI and then use /setautoclosetime 3 for a 3 second close on a door. via #🔭archived-suggestions
Fixed in the plugin update, No longer relocatepowerblock for Big animated doors, this was a bug with the permission node, we definitely don't want people to be able to set the power block anywhere in the world! I have already requested that a distance limit be added like we have with shop chest distance! Please be patient.
This means you have to put a power block (GOLD BLOCK) on the hinge of your big animated doors and control them with redstone.
Survival
Updated brew hints wall with 2 new brews at /warp brewing . Good luck!

This includes creating custom 3D assets for special items we can make server side!
β This page was made in 2012 when Resource Packs were called Texture Packs, Do I change the URL to not say Texture pack?
Survival & Website
Rules update:
Added "no beacons at /warp shops"
Added "no fake [rent] signs at /warp shops"
Added "do not use [sell] signs to empty a player's balance"
Added "We do NOT tolerate poor attitude and disruptive behaviour*"
**__Re-added "no claim manipulation"__**
Updated '/back after pvp death'* to include end-crystal bombing
Updated wording and positioning of other rules.
Fixed spelling errors.
Removed duplicate "no exploiting" rule.
Most of these rules have been enforced for a long time but were never formally added to the website.
Many thanks to @Deleted User for updating the in-game /rules.
βΉοΈ As staff, we have found it difficult to draw a line between 'raiding chests' and griefing. When we updated ships, we anticipated players stealing double chests out of claims, but not players being able to move entire parts of buildings out of claims. Furthermore we don't want to promote the mentality of 'I'm only safe if I live in an underground box'.
οΈ Therefore we have decided to re-introduce the 'no claim manipulation rule'.
Under this rule it will be (once again) illegal to manipulate the contents of any claim you do not have access to.
This means stealing chests, parts of buildings out of claims, or opening iron doors with ships will no longer be allowed.
However, we will continue to allow players to steal unlocked ships inside claims.
βΉοΈ You can find all changes made on the website, or in-game using /rules
https://piratemc.com/information/rules/
These rule changes will be enforced from the moment this post was made. 
Survival
Added permission to delete your doors in /doors
Added command /ListDoors to list your doors
Added command /DoorInfo
Added addowner/removeowner to your /doors
Added new command /xpb info to see how long your XPBoost has left! Via #🔭archived-suggestions @PIPPIP5789
I found the "bug" that is stopping iron golem farms working, when I updated the Entity Manager it set a new default to disable spawning of Iron Golems, as much as I wish I could just keep this off for the good of the server & future there are too many moaners that have "farms" So next reboot, so either today or tomorrow Iron Golems will start spawning again.
A while ago I found out how to change the drops of mobs specifically to target Iron farming to reduce the Items dropped by Iron Golems, so this is the compromise between not having them drop anything at all and the few players that have iron farms wanting to keep their free spawning iron, it will get nerfed!
There was already a massive discussion in #🔭suggestions_chat about removing iron farms, no need to start it again!
Fixed being able to toggle a /doors from the GUI & Fixed setting the autoclose time for all /doors

I forgot to put this down, but this morning I updated the plugin I use to do the protocol hacks for allowing newer clients to connect to older server software (1.12.2) they added 1.16 support but I'm sure Bungee server needs an update, untested.
Discord
@Markusi13 has moved the #deleted-channel channel under Piratecraft stuff, and will now be for exclusive PMC-related memes as per suggestion from @Tujek
Survival
Temporarily Removed Custom mob plugin & Disguises plugin dependency to try and solve the reboots, Will be brought back later on.
Survival / Test / Creative / Bungee
Updated Permissions Plugin
Survival
Updated Ships plugin
Updated Analytics plugin (Had infinite loop bug)
Updated Bungee server software
Updated OS/Reboot
Fully removed the protocol hack to see if that is the cause of the reboots, trial and error sucks with JVM crashes as they cause so much trouble and useless logs.
While there's no plugin to allow newer clients to connect to 1.12.2 server, only 1.12.2 clients will be able to connect, please keep an eye out to see if this fixes any other outstanding issues so we know its that specific plugin, I found out today that this is the reason that 1.13 clients trying to hover over items shown in chat do not show the lore of items shared in chat.
This is trial and error, It will be temporary. If it is the cause I will talk with the developers about the crashes, please just be patient.
βΉοΈ As these have been JVM crashes, these could potentially cause data corruption in plugins, for example their configs could have been broken by these sudden deaths of the Java Virtual Machine, The only way I will know about these is if you report them in #deleted-channel so please also keep an eye out for these.
βΉοΈ If people are complaining they are able to get onto creative and not survival, they are using 1.13+, they need to downgrade to 1.12.2 and connect, please tell them this as they have not read the changelogs.
I hate Java with a passion.
Survival
Gave @Moderator @Admin /viaver list for when were using the protocol hack to on survival to see what Minecraft version people are using.

Added temp Warning to use 1.12.2 as people are joining and going directly to the creative, which I have littered with Signs to use 1.12.2 while we trial and error.

βΉοΈ I think I figured out what was causing the JVM crashes/reboots, The Protocol hack plugin (ViaVersion) for 1.16 update wasn't compatible with ProtocolLib (Packet changer), but there was no indication it wouldn't work with it, so instead logs were throwing errors for the Disguise plugin used for custom mobs, which indicated that it was that causing issues, after todays trial and error removing ViaVersion the servers been stable for 6 and a half hours, so I'm calling that the problem and have contacted the developers.
There may be a bunch of people stuck on Creative, anyone that joined with a client above 1.12.2 were being connected to Creative, I put up signs and was on all morning telling people but there will be people that were missed, if you see people stuck on creative and you please tell them to /server survival or click the NPC at spawn.
βΉοΈ For now, until ViaVersion can fix their JVM crashing for 1.16 clients, we can only allow up to 1.15.2 clients using their older build.
Re-added backdated Protocol hack to allow up to 1.15.2 clients to connect to the 1.12.2 server, 1.16 clients will have to wait until its no longer crashing the server!
Re-added Custom mob plugin, Disguise plugin for Skins & Getting the summer event back up and live!
Updated ProtocolLib, Packet changing dependency for a lot of plugins that was very outdated, see if this solves any outstanding oddities.
Get yourself to /warp event for the PirateCraft Summer 2020 event!

@Deleted User Made the @PirateCraft bot only show for the Information channels, as these are the only channels someone can see if they are not verified, so the bot should not show on any of the other channels, so if you are verified that'll save one more space on the online menu on the right.
This means @Helper is "higher than bots" Via the #🔭archived-suggestions from @α²Όα²Όα²Όα²Ό this is what triggered me to re-organise the entire side-menu, because of this suggestion! So implemented by updating the entire online list.
Removed other bots showing on the online menu, pointless waste of space.
Removed myself being separate as Owner and plopped myself with admins, just a waste of space when I barley show myself as online.
Survival / Discord
Fixing outstanding issues with @Deleted User for the Discord plugin not Syncing people to the discord.
You can now re-link your discord yourself by generating a new code in-game!
Added @Moderator to sync roles so new moderators will get the role on discord auto.
Banned players on the Minecraft server will auto be banned on Discord now.
New! Anyone with the quartermaster rank will be granted the @deleted-role role on discord, since quartermaster can only be achieved by legit gameplay (Minus those that have glitched stats, I still need to sort you out! 
)
This means I can have a decent private chat channel I can get feedback from for targated audience that knows the server and history and not generic plebs that destroy my sanity when were looking for feedback or ideas for big controversial issues. This means I can ping ideas/changes off @deleted-role players directly after we talk them out in staff first for community feedback.
See this rank as a "Community leader", Do not bribe/nag these people, I will always still talk out ideas in #🔭suggestions_chat but after they have been verified first.
Fixed ranks being synced again from Minecraft to Discord
This will now use username instead of display name which would be changed if someone had a nickname, I might change it back to nickname if I did this for a reason last time.
Fixed avatars working again, not sure how this broke.
Removed money prize for linking your discord as everyone can re-link their discord themselves now! Survival

Re-added Protocol hack for 1.16 clients to connect to the 1.12.2 server to trial it with a newer version of ProtocolLib to see if it doesn't crash the server, sadly this is trial and error, cross your fingers it just needed a ProtocolLib update.
Added the #deleted-channel channel for Veteran discussion, as all contributors just found out when they all inherited Veteran rank haha! Whoops!
Removed the quartermaster auto being set to "veteran" role on discord, as it was just putting in all contributors as they inherited it! This means the veteran role will have to be set manually for the veteran channel, any staff will be able to do this after checking your ranks.

Created new category of shop, "popup" which is in between shop & stall, All of the S50-S57 shops at /shop8 will be popups.

Backdated the auto-afk system, I re-added it adding in AFK into the tablist to show who's afk, im sure there was a reason I removed that, maybe AFK people were targeted to be killed?

I'm having to play this silly game of trial and error with these impossible to diagnose crashes as I am not being given any logs for issues, these are my only straws left to test as these are the only plugins that have updated before the crashes.

Removed Ships (TEMPORARILY)

Updated '/back after pvp death'* to include end-crystal bombing
Updated wording and positioning of other rules.
Fixed spelling errors.
Removed duplicate "no exploiting" rule.
Most of these rules have been enforced for a long time but were never formally added to the website.
Many thanks to @Deleted User for updating the in-game /rules.
βΉοΈ As staff, we have found it difficult to draw a line between 'raiding chests' and griefing. When we updated ships, we anticipated players stealing double chests out of claims, but not players being able to move entire parts of buildings out of claims. Furthermore we don't want to promote the mentality of 'I'm only safe if I live in an underground box'.
οΈ Therefore we have decided to re-introduce the 'no claim manipulation rule'.
Under this rule it will be (once again) illegal to manipulate the contents of any claim you do not have access to.
This means stealing chests, parts of buildings out of claims, or opening iron doors with ships will no longer be allowed.
However, we will continue to allow players to steal unlocked ships inside claims.
βΉοΈ You can find all changes made on the website, or in-game using /rules
https://piratemc.com/information/rules/
These rule changes will be enforced from the moment this post was made. Survival

I found the "bug" that is stopping iron golem farms working, when I updated the Entity Manager it set a new default to disable spawning of Iron Golems, as much as I wish I could just keep this off for the good of the server & future there are too many moaners that have "farms" So next reboot, so either today or tomorrow Iron Golems will start spawning again.
A while ago I found out how to change the drops of mobs specifically to target Iron farming to reduce the Items dropped by Iron Golems, so this is the compromise between not having them drop anything at all and the few players that have iron farms wanting to keep their free spawning iron, it will get nerfed!
There was already a massive discussion in #🔭suggestions_chat about removing iron farms, no need to start it again!

I forgot to put this down, but this morning I updated the plugin I use to do the protocol hacks for allowing newer clients to connect to older server software (1.12.2) they added 1.16 support but I'm sure Bungee server needs an update, untested. Discord
@Markusi13 has moved the #deleted-channel channel under Piratecraft stuff, and will now be for exclusive PMC-related memes as per suggestion from @Tujek Survival
Temporarily Removed Custom mob plugin & Disguises plugin dependency to try and solve the reboots, Will be brought back later on. Survival / Test / Creative / Bungee
Updated Permissions Plugin
Survival
Updated Ships plugin
Updated Analytics plugin (Had infinite loop bug)
Updated Bungee server software
Updated OS/Reboot
Fully removed the protocol hack to see if that is the cause of the reboots, trial and error sucks with JVM crashes as they cause so much trouble and useless logs.
While there's no plugin to allow newer clients to connect to 1.12.2 server, only 1.12.2 clients will be able to connect, please keep an eye out to see if this fixes any other outstanding issues so we know its that specific plugin, I found out today that this is the reason that 1.13 clients trying to hover over items shown in chat do not show the lore of items shared in chat.
This is trial and error, It will be temporary. If it is the cause I will talk with the developers about the crashes, please just be patient.
βΉοΈ As these have been JVM crashes, these could potentially cause data corruption in plugins, for example their configs could have been broken by these sudden deaths of the Java Virtual Machine, The only way I will know about these is if you report them in #deleted-channel so please also keep an eye out for these.
βΉοΈ If people are complaining they are able to get onto creative and not survival, they are using 1.13+, they need to downgrade to 1.12.2 and connect, please tell them this as they have not read the changelogs.
I hate Java with a passion. Survival
Gave @Moderator @Admin /viaver list for when were using the protocol hack to on survival to see what Minecraft version people are using. Website
Added temp Warning to use 1.12.2 as people are joining and going directly to the creative, which I have littered with Signs to use 1.12.2 while we trial and error. Website
Added link to guides navigation to my extensive "How to fix Minecraft lag" guide.

Added /distance for Boatswain+, to check distance between 2 points (the block you are pointing at) Survival
Name changes will be broadcast When someone's logs in, a check will be made now if there has been a name change since they last logged in and broadcast it to the chat, this is to help with people frequently changing their names and not having any idea who people are.
This could end up spammy, so may end up temporary depending on how often names are changed, lets call this feature pencilled in, we can run any command we want for the check if you have a #🔭archived-suggestions Survival
βΉοΈ I think I figured out what was causing the JVM crashes/reboots, The Protocol hack plugin (ViaVersion) for 1.16 update wasn't compatible with ProtocolLib (Packet changer), but there was no indication it wouldn't work with it, so instead logs were throwing errors for the Disguise plugin used for custom mobs, which indicated that it was that causing issues, after todays trial and error removing ViaVersion the servers been stable for 6 and a half hours, so I'm calling that the problem and have contacted the developers.
There may be a bunch of people stuck on Creative, anyone that joined with a client above 1.12.2 were being connected to Creative, I put up signs and was on all morning telling people but there will be people that were missed, if you see people stuck on creative and you please tell them to /server survival or click the NPC at spawn.
βΉοΈ For now, until ViaVersion can fix their JVM crashing for 1.16 clients, we can only allow up to 1.15.2 clients using their older build.
Re-added backdated Protocol hack to allow up to 1.15.2 clients to connect to the 1.12.2 server, 1.16 clients will have to wait until its no longer crashing the server!
Re-added Custom mob plugin, Disguise plugin for Skins & Getting the summer event back up and live!
Updated ProtocolLib, Packet changing dependency for a lot of plugins that was very outdated, see if this solves any outstanding oddities.
Get yourself to /warp event for the PirateCraft Summer 2020 event!

Reminder you can send support tickets for abuse to https://tickets.piratemc.com/ these are not public and will not be shared public for reporting people, the mod team can aceess all tickets assigned to moderation. Maybe this would be helpful for @Helper ? Survival

@Helper @Moderator @Admin Will get their own AFK auto response message when they are AFK, they will also all not get kicked for being AFK.
/rules & /ships got updated thanks to @Deleted User
Removed Vote Chest message in chat from being broadcast due to popular request that its used so much its considered spam.

Updated cannons shop at /warp cove
I've tried to colour code the info to make it clearer which cannons & projectiles are unlocked at each rank.
The NPC will be updated with the new projectiles soon. Survival
Added a new 'burning projectile' (fire charge) for cannons as per popular demand from #🔭archived-suggestions
Unlocked at sailor along with cannistershot and shrapnel.
Can be used in all cannons & mortar types.
Does not destroy blocks, but starts lots of fires in a 7x7 area. These fires will not spread or break the blocks they are on, and will automatically go out after a while.
Updated cannons shop at /warp cove to reflect the changes.
Reminder that we are looking for new helpers & need help testing the new crew ranks update on /server test. Please check the latest posts in #deleted-channel - all help is appreciated!

S21 Created at /shop1 built by @Atalantaa and was reserved for @Atalantaa as she did a swap for this shop and owned it before it was torn down to be re-built and updated as it was legacy on the old system!
Very awesome design with this shop! It fits in perfectly with the existing terrain @Atalantaa and help from friend's @claymaester @WaterPool
Ready to move in! Survival

Tidied up the online list on the right of discord
Moved the Verify bot out of the Discord bots Role and put it in its own @Verify In-game role, and pinned that to the top so its much easier to find, matched the Yellow color to Verified members color.
@Deleted User Made the @PirateCraft bot only show for the Information channels, as these are the only channels someone can see if they are not verified, so the bot should not show on any of the other channels, so if you are verified that'll save one more space on the online menu on the right.
This means @Helper is "higher than bots" Via the #🔭archived-suggestions from @α²Όα²Όα²Όα²Ό this is what triggered me to re-organise the entire side-menu, because of this suggestion! So implemented by updating the entire online list.
Removed other bots showing on the online menu, pointless waste of space.
Removed myself being separate as Owner and plopped myself with admins, just a waste of space when I barley show myself as online. Survival / Discord
Fixing outstanding issues with @Deleted User for the Discord plugin not Syncing people to the discord.
You can now re-link your discord yourself by generating a new code in-game!
Added @Moderator to sync roles so new moderators will get the role on discord auto.
Banned players on the Minecraft server will auto be banned on Discord now.
New! Anyone with the quartermaster rank will be granted the @deleted-role role on discord, since quartermaster can only be achieved by legit gameplay (Minus those that have glitched stats, I still need to sort you out! )
This means I can have a decent private chat channel I can get feedback from for targated audience that knows the server and history and not generic plebs that destroy my sanity when were looking for feedback or ideas for big controversial issues. This means I can ping ideas/changes off @deleted-role players directly after we talk them out in staff first for community feedback.
See this rank as a "Community leader", Do not bribe/nag these people, I will always still talk out ideas in #🔭suggestions_chat but after they have been verified first.
Fixed ranks being synced again from Minecraft to Discord
This will now use username instead of display name which would be changed if someone had a nickname, I might change it back to nickname if I did this for a reason last time.
Fixed avatars working again, not sure how this broke.
Removed money prize for linking your discord as everyone can re-link their discord themselves now! Survival
Updated Discord plugin
Updated Anti-Cheat
Updated the Big Animated doors plugin Survival / Discord
Re-added Protocol hack for 1.16 clients to connect to the 1.12.2 server to trial it with a newer version of ProtocolLib to see if it doesn't crash the server, sadly this is trial and error, cross your fingers it just needed a ProtocolLib update.
Added the #deleted-channel channel for Veteran discussion, as all contributors just found out when they all inherited Veteran rank haha! Whoops!
Removed the quartermaster auto being set to "veteran" role on discord, as it was just putting in all contributors as they inherited it! This means the veteran role will have to be set manually for the veteran channel, any staff will be able to do this after checking your ranks. Survival
Created new category of shop, "popup" which is in between shop & stall, All of the S50-S57 shops at /shop8 will be popups.
Rent 5 days at a time
1 Extend only, so max rent of 10 days at a time.
Max rent time is 3 weeks, then it will un-rent.
25% money back on un-renting early.
Automatically un-rents if a player is inactive 14 days.
Same price algorithm for other shops, based on size.
Created new shop s50 in the new /shop8 marketplace.
Rented to @oReef as I ...
Removed S85 as it was not near any market and just random.
βΉοΈ @oReef you are ready to move into S50 at /shop8
βΉοΈ All other shops once created will go up on #🎉βgiveaway-events like before.
βΉοΈ If this popup works, I will replace all the stalls at /shop7 with the popup group, as at present there all empty crappy stalls with 1 sign on. Survival
/warp shop8 or /shop8 is now been entirely rebuilt by @BGraph Looking amazing!
Created 8 New rentable shops at the new /warp shop8 all the new popup shop, see directly above this post for popup shop features!
Get a shop by entering the discord competition #2
For fairer competition for the first people that rent these, I am doing a #🎉βgiveaway-events where I will pay the first payment for you to the winners! All you have to do is react with a in the #🎉βgiveaway-events channel on the giveaway!

Backdated the auto-afk system, I re-added it adding in AFK into the tablist to show who's afk, im sure there was a reason I removed that, maybe AFK people were targeted to be killed? But I've still kept /afk denied for people to stop the spam, but it will automatically put people in afk after 5 mins and kick after 15 mins of inactivity. Survival
Removed /kit freedom from 4th July Survival

Re-added big animated doors again.
Updated premium suite of essentials plugin
Removed [jukebox] sign as it was creating lag. Survival/Creative/Test
Updated bungee server
Disabled premium Essentials plugin bungee support, on Survival/test/Creative I was only using it for Cross-server portals, as a hunch of mine from recent #deleted-channel
maybe require another reboot to take effect to disable them fully. Survival
I'm having to play this silly game of trial and error with these impossible to diagnose crashes as I am not being given any logs for issues, these are my only straws left to test as these are the only plugins that have updated before the crashes.
If it continues then I will have to trial again without the Event mobs, then if that fails I will run a ramtest.
Removed the big animated doors (TEMPORARILY)
Removed Ships (TEMPORARILY)
Full system update & reboot. Creative
βΉοΈ I just noticed the Creative has also been getting JVM crashes, not as many as Survival and not as often but still happening which is scary as this uses a lot of older versions of plugins, meaning it may be something more than survival.
Updated to latest Ships plugin
Updated ship craft files to reflect the same as the Survival
Updated the big animated doors plugin to latest
Updated premium essential's suite
Updated to the latest Protocol hack for 1.16 clients to use Creative Creative
Creative blocked people being teleported into worlds they don't have permission to enter.
