Ahoy buccaneer! The PirateCraft Halloween event by CallieMav has opened early this year, its been alive most of this week with fiery battles between Pirates and the un-dead that have taken over the pits of PirateCraft hell! Get yourself to the event by using /warp Halloween in game, your initial spawn is PVP free but the battlefield has PVP enabled for the bloodiest of Pirate battles. The Halloween arena has been changed dramatically this year, expanding greatly in size, and utilizing all the new 1.10 Magma, Nether Wart, Red Nether brick and Bone blocks really create a deadly atmosphere in this hellish takeover!

Extended Gameplay has been added this year, there are multiple parkour events leading to hidden areas, There is a treasure hunt to find all the Herobrine flags and loads of hidden areas to find.

All mobs have been re-created from scratch just for PirateCraft, new mobs added, incredible new unseen skills created, new particle effects, animations and behavior of mobs, new interactive mobs (Right click them), all new item drops, custom rare items with unique powers and abilities as well as two main bosses!

We will be hosting a PVP free week next week, From Monday the 1st till Sunday 16th August to allow the mob battles to be fought without player vs player, PVP will be enabled again after this PVP free week ends.

The event and blog post will be continually updated as we find issues to fix and improvements that can be made, so far 29 small and large updates have happened since the event has gone live, So keep playing its being changed regularly. Don’t be shy in keeping your ideas or issues in your head, even if you have an idea for the next event we would love to hear it (I hear sleigh bells).

Introducing XP Boost tokens!

As quite a lot of you know already, I have been running XP Boosting multipliers at peak times over the last few months, this has finally come as an event drop item! Fight Herobrine with a chance in him dropping an XP Boost token!

What is this XP Boost tokens you speak of?

The XP boost tokens can be redeemed at The Cove at the Chapel (behind you when you /warp cove) Each token activates an XP Boost for EVERYONE online at that time you activate the token, so make sure to get your crew on all at the same time for when you activate a token, those turning up late won’t get the boost! You are able to log off and on again once you have an XP Boost enabled. The Halloween event only has 1 XP Boost token being dropped at present, its a 1.5x multiplier that lasts for 20 minutes for everyone online at the time its activated. This is perfect for when we have a busy event happening with lots of XP being dropped by custom mobs!

Future of XP Boost Tokens

I wanted to test these tokens in a small portion to start with, see how/when they are used, or if people just end up trading/stealing/selling them; before I implement another method of acquiring a XP Boost token, The plan is to give each donator one each time they donate if the XP Boosting goes well! This isn’t active at the moment as I want to see how it’s used in small portions first! Talking of donating…
