  • Civilian kill is now -0.5 KDR instead of -1.0 (Person not in a crew)
  • Neutral kill is now +1.0 KDR instead of 0.5 (Person in a crew but not allied/rivaled)
  • Rival Kill is the same at +1.5 KDR
• You will now be hidden again in shadows on the livemap (Not sure how this disabled itself)
  • 0 is full shadow and 15 is full light open to sky, you will be hidden at 5 light level from the live map.
  • Via @Xeron This means you will be hidden from map when its night time, and you are out in the open. This will allow sneaky people to build, sail, and attack at night and be hidden from map
• Updated main OS Java/Rebooted the physical machine
• Added :cat: For @RoMich02 replacement in server chat does ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
• Updated /chat 6 to display the added chat replacement, we have 6 pages in this now!
• Spent way too long writing a guide on how to understand Client side lag/network lag/Server lag and some tips on how to fix these issues, now when someone writes “lag” in chat, it will give them their notification but also link to this page
  • https://piratemc.com/how-to-fix-minecraft-lag/
  • This is a work in process.
  • Please Link people to this page when they “lag”, I might be able to save someone’s entire existence on Minecraft by fixing a few basic things
• Cove Wood shop replaced! We now have a glowing NPC called Lumberjack, Mr Lumberjack does buying/selling of all oak logs, now only for Deckhands & Cadets.
  • The glowing NPC is much easier to find at cove and more modern opposed to signs.
  • I can move this shop anywhere if we need to move him
  • I can increase the sell prices so Deckhands/Cadets can make more money selling Wood, so more money for them to spend in the market!
  • This unlimited source of money can now be capped per player if we need to.
  • The wood shop has always only been intended for Deckhands/Cadets to make some small chump change to get started, its NEVER been for players to make tree farms for an infinite supply of free cash!
  • Yes I know people will use Alts/Deckhands to cash in, but it might get players talking to new players that otherwise not have been talked to ever! talk to them (Don’t enslave them).

• Updated Entity manager
• Updated jump pads plugin 3 times
  • Fix console spam from removing xmas world
  • Still triggers velocity from AC
• Updated Anti-cheat 9 times Between December and January 30th
  • NPC disabled, Chat Checks turned off, Message removed to broadcast when someone is kicked, but most importantly a whole new Machine learning file that was for some reason not updating previously, this should help with better checking, to go with the changes in the AC itself.
  • Re-written speed checks
• Updated Analytics plugin 2 times
• Trade your old Crate keys for vote keys!
  • I have tried to find as many versions of crate keys as I can, each one will trade for a vote key.
  • Make sure to use your event/crate keys while Crates exist as they will not come back, this is just a nice gesture for people to use up exiting keys they have stocked up.
  • Use /warp cove and Right click the NCP Named KeyMaker
