The end of the Winter 2021/22 Winter treasure chest was yesterday! 20th March 2022! We are now officially in spring!
You can always see our calendar at /warp cove for timings for Treasure chests (Attached image).
We are going to be late with a spring 2022 Treasure chest as I haven't yet fully finished building the Creative server for 1.18 from 1.12 for items to be designed for it.
For those that were unaware of the date I will leave the Treasure chest at cove to be used, but remove methods to get keys!
Use up your Winter21/22 Treasure chest keys now at /warp cove! before the Chest is removed!

@mionathegreat Created a new graphic for the Feb 2022 BOTM for /warp botm 
Survival
Fixed these mental particles not being so mental in the casino. 
Survival
Fixed the custom recipe for making cobweb from 9 string. 
Survival
Added the old portcullis gates back! I found a fork of the plugin that was updated, all your oldschool portcullis should work again! (Not bridges that's a separate plugin and there is no fork)
Added brand new /lottery plugin New lottery plugin! This one is in a GUI form, but you can still use /lottery buy 3 or /lottery status for text based information and use/.
Taxes go to the /bal PirateCraft account.
You can toggle lottery chat messages/reminders directly from /lottery
Requries at least 2 people to be in a lottery for one to be draw, its drawn every 1 hour.
Tickets are still £10 with a £25 pot and 15% Tax for winnings.
Bounty plugin fixes saving bounties over restarts FINALLY I have been nagging this developer since I bought the plugin to fix this, he finally updated it, I tested it on test server, so we can finally use bounties properly again.
Saves bounties over restarts
Gained Crew support (No claiming crew bounties!) thanks @Markusi13 for that idea!
GUI now displays bounty expiration
Updated armor stand limiter plugin
Updated Coreprotect plugin 
Survival
Updated premium suite of essentials plugin.
Survival
Removed bold from lottery messages, and added cost for lottery tickets in the /lottery GUI.

Survival
Re-added Force Lottery in Vote Treasure chest! I re-added my force lottery prize back into the /vote treasure chest! This time with a twist! It auto-adds an extra £100 into the pot as well as everyone else's money! 
Proxy
Updated Proxy server software
Added Cross server chat plugin (I'm re-building creative at present) And its working!
Removed VPN blocking plugin,
Why? that cant be good right?
Microsoft /Mojang should have completed their migration from Mojang to Microsoft accounts as the due date was March 10th 2022, with much tighter restrictions imposed by Microsoft themselves on accounts, this should theoretically prevent people having 100's of accounts at their disposal as each and every account needs to be migrated to a Microsoft account, which requires access to the original email of the Minecraft account, this has definitely stitched up many many people that bought accounts online cheap, got gifted an account, borrowed an account or just no longer have access to their original emails, but this is how Microsoft wanted to tackle abuse from Alts/Bots. And i'm curious if it worked or was a waste of time from Microsoft. We will see.
This does also mean you should no longer require asking for access to use a VPN, it should just work again
Survival
Removed this channel join/leave message in chat for chat channels, as it's only staff that this benefits and we barly leave our staff channels, so fully disabled all around as its just chat spam. thanks to Bloodworth22 for the query about the message.

Proxy

Updated Chat plugin cross-server plugin
Survival
Updated Chat plugin (here we go again).
ℹ️ The chat plugin seems to be the cause of the server crashes in the last 6~ days, I have no idea if this update will fix it, or what other issues he will introduce. Why is it always the chat plugin? I swear this guy never tests updates.
I have been bedridden for the last 6 days and unable to sit up at my desk with some super flu variant (Not the rona) I'm still extremely sick but well enough to try and tackle the reboots the chat developer has caused.
Somehow they managed to create 3.9GB of data in a table with 13k rows and 5 columns, so I have nuked the lot and updated the plugin, I'm hoping this is a solve to the reboots, but only time will tell.
Discord screenshot is the amount of notifications I've been sent about reboots but being too sick to do anything. 
Re-Added CrewHomes & Kills to live map
From next reboot re-added the Crew homes and Kills to the live map as the plugin got updated.
Remind yourself

Added header and footer information when you open the tab list tab
Ping, Balance, Your local time (in your timezone) and the server time are all shown now live, this saves having to run the ping command and also quickly see the time/servertime for events and organizing with players.
Added wording on how to get /support
Created /support which is an alias for /request and I updated all the information.
Fully re-wrote what was in /request to be support related and links to in-game commands and website links.
Next reboot this should tab complete.
Updated /staff dramatically, its always outdated so it now mostly links to main website and in-game options.
Updated /ranks to fix staff ranks page listing online staff link
Changed /help as an alias to /guides you can still use /ehelp if you ever use this menu, so now this goes to the guides index.
Fixed /lotto buy 3 working, the parameters were not working before.
Fixed quick swap using 1-9 on keyboard, Not sure when this fixed or what fixed it, but apparently it was a bug 
Resolved itself through updates.
Updated every single /guides page (over 70) with a new header that says "Guides" that you can click and it goes back to the guides index instead of just a line.

Fishing Contests! From tomorrows reboot there will be a brand new plugin that will introduce Fishing contests to PirateCraft!

Moved the custom tab-view & overhead plugin from Survival to Proxy server and installed their bridge plugin on Survival
This should give us the ability to have Cross-server tab list, but also one layout for all servers (Creative etc).
️ Seems this has broken placeholders displaying, I have contacted the developers to see why. Half solved, need to fix AFK placeholder.
Updated Voting plugin
Updated Analytics plugin
This version is patching database changes, so there is no going back after this upgrade!

This will help players find where NPCS are on the live map for guides, trading and quests. (Untested)

disabled essentials changing the tab list and displaying afk in tab, this is so that one plugin manages the tab list and not two fighting over it. This changed how tab is displayed, but Its too cluttered, I need to experiment a little more to tidy it up. Temporary this cluttered until I get some time to play around! I got it working cross server so it's ready for when I reopen creative.

Slightly nerfed the loot_table chances for Wither Skeleton dropping a skull and Zombified Piglin dropping gold_ingot due to reports of mass farming for gold_ingot (OP food) & Wither skeleton heads for withers for nether stars for Beacons.
Pre 1.18 (When we were on 1.12) we blocked all gold farming, so I understand why its suddenly exploded with more mobs available and being able to do it now! We will have to see how badly it effects PvP in the long run being albe to farm/mine gold for Gapples etc! A conversation happened before we moved to 1.18 but we forgot about it until the reports started rolling in 
Wither skeletons are dropping sun flowers temporarily instead of coal as I wanted to test that the loot tables did actually update! 
Survival
De-Registered all un-rented shops at /shop2 in preparation for a third redesign of shop2 to make them smaller (cheaper)/update the markets theme.
The "massive shop" and "quite large" shop were just way, way too big and failed (sadly)
I'm close to getting creative back open for everyone, so once I've done that then the build team can start work on the redesign and shrinkage of shop2.
s68 deregistered

Survival
Added no tag for mobs attacking when in staff in /duty as requested.

ℹ️ The voting plugin seems to be error out when it sends out top voting rewards each month (Its the first today) so I have reported this bug to the Voting developer, it must have happened when I updated it. 
Survival/Creative/Proxy
Tablist/Overhead Updates
Resolve issue with tablist screwing up when you moved between Creative/Survival.
Custom header/footer based on what server, Creative now shows plot count at bottom & Different header.
Changed [AFK] to show before a username and removed italic and made it dark purple, so all tags are shown before players (same above head, just after username)
Fixed [duty] showing in tablist and tag
Changed creative tablist prefix to just [C] in dark aqua, to show that player is on creative.
Created a Combat tagged timer above heads that ticks down live, instead of making everything red, a [Tag] like everything else and now managed by one plugin not another!
ℹ️ I put on all tags to myself to see how crowed it could possibly be as a staff member on creative, afk in Duty mode
Sidenote, I don't like that it shows Duty when afk, I will have to see if I can make it auto remove Duty/Busy from staff if they go into afk, not sure how I would do this yet. 
Survival
Disabled part of the PvP manager plugin that was still trying to override tab/tag when in combat.

Added temp msg when players login to alert of the star wars event going the next few days! 
Survival
Added new tag above head for Deckhands only to show their Newbie protection countdown time left, this should hopefully make it extremely simple to know who's brand new by looking at them, so you can help them out more!
I'm even tempted to put an extra icon in the tablist for them too, maybe I will test that next. Once their newbie protection wears off, it just displays their normal tag.
Updated overhead tab names again, this time adding prefixes to tab names to show [Duty] when staff are in duty, I also reduced the config size by 80% by making all prefixes dynamic default, the one downside was Rear Admiral became Rearadmiral

Re-added custom map art plugin for next reboot to re-figure out what the issue was, it looks like I never reported the issue I had with it to disable it! oof!
Survival - End Crystals make phantoms ignore you!
Slightly changing Phantom behavior as a lot of people find them annoying, so without fully removing them, I have added a way for you to be ignored for not sleeping! @TobySF is going to monitor feedback from the community on this and report back to me in a few days how its going! These settings do not need to be set in stone!
Phantoms will orbit crystals Place crystals in areas you do not wish to be disturbed by phantoms and they will orbit around them and not attack, set to 25 blocks think of an end crystal as a invisible "shield"
Phantoms will always drop XP Free EXP! Place a crystal, get Phantoms orbiting, wait for day for them to burn.. Profit! 
Phantoms size will be between 0-30 Just for fun, phantoms will spawn in differnt sizes now.
Phantoms min time since last slept increased They used to wait 3 hours until they would spawn on someone with insomnia, now its 4 hours.
Increased phantom max-y to match 1.18 chunk height.
Slightly buffed phantom health to 25 to counter the traps they can now get stuck in.
ℹ️ TIP If you do not have insomnia, then no phantoms will ever attack you anywhere on the server, they will only attack people that have insomnia.
⏲️ Will take effect as of tomorrows reboot
Survival
Disabled the "big phantoms" 
somehow these big bois cause some lag issues! oh well!
ℹ️ Looks like the Custom map art plugin is working fine!? Now im confused why I disabled it in the first place!
Who wants to make us some new pirate artwork for some new custom maps? Go make some artwork and post it in #📷│media that could be used on maps we could sell cheap at cove!
Survival
️ Cove Gallery back up and running!
The Cove gallery NPC never worked properly, I finally figured out a fix and I cant believe how simple it was.. sell each painting by itself instead of the splatter art that breaks!
Massive thank you to the wonderful @ae0n and @Smokeyriver Who have re-decorated the Gallery room to look fantastic ready for exhibitions!
Drastically reduced every piece of artwork to £15 in-game, as they can be duplicated and re-sold!
️ All the paintings in the /warp Cove Gallery were painted by /NicoSemsrott years ago for PirateCraft! These are custom pieces of art! (These will be back in the resource pack once we re-make it!)
Nicos instagram for artwork, you can commission art from her!
https://www.instagram.com/panpukinart/
Are you an artist and want to have a painting in-game?
If you are an artist and would like your some of your custom artwork decorating homes of PirateCraft, you can submit a piece!
The rules for the gallery are these have to be Pirate themed and painted/created for PirateCraft, they can be lore, fanart or crew related, but they have to be custom made and be artwork!
You can either post them into #📷│media and tag me or Dm me them directly!
ℹ️ Each item frame in game is 128*128 pixels on a screen, so 4x4 frames would be 512x512px! These are very small canvas's!
Survival
/crew home is now FREE the cost was replaced with a 30 min cooldown for everyone.
Any funny business and the cost will be re-added! But the cooldown should be a fair trade!
I have re-instated the size difference for phantoms, but they will be much smaller now, as the damage multiplies by their size!
World Snapshots - All Servers
World snapshot restoring is back! As most of you know I am still re-building the server since we moved from 1.12, so some missing features are slowly coming back, Snapshots was one of them!
Snapshots are world backups that can be restored in-game live! These are differnt from a regen a regen re-creates the terrain from scratch based off the world generator.
Restoring a snapshot allows me to restore selections of a world to a previous day, this is great for quickly rolling back grief or destruction to repair a build.
All worlds can be restored to a snapshot, including creative worlds, this was one of the boring tasks I needed to complete before I started work on creative again, as creative can be volatile with all the tools to quickly paint terrain, I wanted this restore method back first!
The reason this wasn't possible when I moved to 1.18 was due to the sheer world size doubling, so keeping 10 days of local world snapshots was larger than all local storage! I bought an additional storage server just to do this! 
Hopefully this makes you feel safe building on PirateCraft knowing this system exists! ❤️
ℹ️ Restore is a "last measure" and has to be requested as a support ticket as only I can do restores for Survival, but all admins will be able to restore in Creative!
https://piratemc.com/support/
Setup additional storage server
Created automated snapshots for all worlds on Survival and Creative
I now have local access to the entire world history back to 2016 - That's world backups for 6 years!
I have no idea what we could use this for, maybe if we wanted to restore an old demolished city for nostalgia? These would be very manual as the worlds are in older formats.
ℹ️ Snapshots started from so anything prior to this will be much harder to restore. 
Survival

ℹ️ Since 1.19 was released, hopefully all plugins will start adding 1.19 support, this is a stage we have to be patient for developers to make any required changes to their plugin to support 1.19, There isn't any ground breaking changes from 1.18.2 to 1.19 so there shouldn't be any major issues for developers to get their plugins updated, but as always its a waiting game! I will tag the plugins as they are updated on PirateCraft on top of their usual changelogs so you are kept updated.
Updated Voting plugin (1.19 support & bugfixes)
Updated Updated world pre-generator (1.19 support)
Updated Updated world border plugin (1.19 support)

ℹ️ I trialed updating to the latest 1.19 dev proxy server, but this broke both clients connecting! Too early I guess, we will have to stick to using 1.18.2 for now sadly, I'm in contact with the developers to see if we can resolve the issue(s).
Initial investigation points at the tab plugin needs updating from the looks of the errors, I guess we play everyone's favorite game, the waiting game 
You can now use the latest Minecraft client to connect to PirateCraft servers!

Created /kit independence for the 4th July 2022! Get it now! #📢│announcements To see video of items!
Created Item trade page at the Tradesman NPC at /warp cove This is for updating broken event items to replace them for working versions.
The first item in for trade is the Bowcaster crossbow this was designed to be more powerful, but was never tested before release. Which resulted in it not working, It was requested today that a working version be tradeable at cove, so I have done that. This required the enchants to be nerfed to top vanilla enchants for the crossbow. Your choice now, keep the old one, trade for a working version!
@Contributor /condense was swapped to the Premium essentials plugin version today as it gives some better feedback in game, any issues with it, feel free to report it!

Taxes go to the /bal PirateCraft account.
You can toggle lottery chat messages/reminders directly from /lottery
Requries at least 2 people to be in a lottery for one to be draw, its drawn every 1 hour.
Tickets are still £10 with a £25 pot and 15% Tax for winnings.

Updated Proxy server software
Added Cross server chat plugin (I'm re-building creative at present) And its working!
Removed VPN blocking plugin,
Why? that cant be good right?
Microsoft /Mojang should have completed their migration from Mojang to Microsoft accounts as the due date was March 10th 2022, with much tighter restrictions imposed by Microsoft themselves on accounts, this should theoretically prevent people having 100's of accounts at their disposal as each and every account needs to be migrated to a Microsoft account, which requires access to the original email of the Minecraft account, this has definitely stitched up many many people that bought accounts online cheap, got gifted an account, borrowed an account or just no longer have access to their original emails, but this is how Microsoft wanted to tackle abuse from Alts/Bots. And i'm curious if it worked or was a waste of time from Microsoft. We will see.
This does also mean you should no longer require asking for access to use a VPN, it should just work again Survival
Removed this channel join/leave message in chat for chat channels, as it's only staff that this benefits and we barly leave our staff channels, so fully disabled all around as its just chat spam. thanks to Bloodworth22 for the query about the message. Survival

Updated Chat plugin (here we go again).
ℹ️ The chat plugin seems to be the cause of the server crashes in the last 6~ days, I have no idea if this update will fix it, or what other issues he will introduce. Why is it always the chat plugin? I swear this guy never tests updates.
I have been bedridden for the last 6 days and unable to sit up at my desk with some super flu variant (Not the rona) I'm still extremely sick but well enough to try and tackle the reboots the chat developer has caused.
Somehow they managed to create 3.9GB of data in a table with 13k rows and 5 columns, so I have nuked the lot and updated the plugin, I'm hoping this is a solve to the reboots, but only time will tell.
Discord screenshot is the amount of notifications I've been sent about reboots but being too sick to do anything. Re-Added CrewHomes & Kills to live map
From next reboot re-added the Crew homes and Kills to the live map as the plugin got updated.
Remind yourself of the commands on how to set an icon for your Crew home! (from next reboot)

Slightly nerfed the loot_table chances for Wither Skeleton dropping a skull and Zombified Piglin dropping gold_ingot due to reports of mass farming for gold_ingot (OP food) & Wither skeleton heads for withers for nether stars for Beacons.
Pre 1.18 (When we were on 1.12) we blocked all gold farming, so I understand why its suddenly exploded with more mobs available and being able to do it now! We will have to see how badly it effects PvP in the long run being albe to farm/mine gold for Gapples etc! A conversation happened before we moved to 1.18 but we forgot about it until the reports started rolling in Wither skeletons are dropping sun flowers temporarily instead of coal as I wanted to test that the loot tables did actually update! Survival
De-Registered all un-rented shops at /shop2 in preparation for a third redesign of shop2 to make them smaller (cheaper)/update the markets theme.
The "massive shop" and "quite large" shop were just way, way too big and failed (sadly)

Tablist/Overhead Updates
Resolve issue with tablist screwing up when you moved between Creative/Survival.
Custom header/footer based on what server, Creative now shows plot count at bottom & Different header.
Changed [AFK] to show before a username and removed italic and made it dark purple, so all tags are shown before players (same above head, just after username)
Fixed [duty] showing in tablist and tag
Changed creative tablist prefix to just [C] in dark aqua, to show that player is on creative.
Created a Combat tagged timer above heads that ticks down live, instead of making everything red, a [Tag] like everything else and now managed by one plugin not another!
ℹ️ I put on all tags to myself to see how crowed it could possibly be as a staff member on creative, afk in Duty mode
Sidenote, I don't like that it shows Duty when afk, I will have to see if I can make it auto remove Duty/Busy from staff if they go into afk, not sure how I would do this yet. Survival

Added new tag above head for Deckhands only to show their Newbie protection countdown time left, this should hopefully make it extremely simple to know who's brand new by looking at them, so you can help them out more!
I'm even tempted to put an extra icon in the tablist for them too, maybe I will test that next. Once their newbie protection wears off, it just displays their normal tag.
Updated overhead tab names again, this time adding prefixes to tab names to show [Duty] when staff are in duty, I also reduced the config size by 80% by making all prefixes dynamic default, the one downside was Rear Admiral became Rearadmiral ♀️

Brand new user interface for live maps!
I have completed an update to the live map that replaces the entire frontend UI with a more modern third party one, this is something I have been testing for a very long time and worked with the developer to get some cool quality of life features added for us!
Multi Server in one map! You can switch between Survival & Creative live maps from the same interface!
Creative URL is now: https://map.piratemc.com/creative
Searchable Player settlements, Warps, Players, NPCS, Crew homes, Deaths All layers can now be searched! Game changer!

Gave @Admin the ability to use Book and quill on anyone's shop sign to inspect a shop. Survival
Re-added custom map art plugin for next reboot to re-figure out what the issue was, it looks like I never reported the issue I had with it to disable it! oof! Survival - End Crystals make phantoms ignore you!
Slightly changing Phantom behavior as a lot of people find them annoying, so without fully removing them, I have added a way for you to be ignored for not sleeping! @TobySF is going to monitor feedback from the community on this and report back to me in a few days how its going! These settings do not need to be set in stone!
Phantoms will orbit crystals Place crystals in areas you do not wish to be disturbed by phantoms and they will orbit around them and not attack, set to 25 blocks think of an end crystal as a invisible "shield"
Phantoms will always drop XP Free EXP! Place a crystal, get Phantoms orbiting, wait for day for them to burn.. Profit!
Phantoms size will be between 0-30 Just for fun, phantoms will spawn in differnt sizes now.
Phantoms min time since last slept increased They used to wait 3 hours until they would spawn on someone with insomnia, now its 4 hours.
Increased phantom max-y to match 1.18 chunk height.
Slightly buffed phantom health to 25 to counter the traps they can now get stuck in.
ℹ️ TIP If you do not have insomnia, then no phantoms will ever attack you anywhere on the server, they will only attack people that have insomnia.
⏲️ Will take effect as of tomorrows reboot Survival
Disabled the "big phantoms" somehow these big bois cause some lag issues! oh well!
ℹ️ Looks like the Custom map art plugin is working fine!? Now im confused why I disabled it in the first place!
Who wants to make us some new pirate artwork for some new custom maps? Go make some artwork and post it in #📷│media that could be used on maps we could sell cheap at cove! Survival
️ Cove Gallery back up and running!
The Cove gallery NPC never worked properly, I finally figured out a fix and I cant believe how simple it was.. sell each painting by itself instead of the splatter art that breaks!
Massive thank you to the wonderful @ae0n and @Smokeyriver Who have re-decorated the Gallery room to look fantastic ready for exhibitions!
Drastically reduced every piece of artwork to £15 in-game, as they can be duplicated and re-sold!
️ All the paintings in the /warp Cove Gallery were painted by /NicoSemsrott years ago for PirateCraft! These are custom pieces of art! (These will be back in the resource pack once we re-make it!)
Nicos instagram for artwork, you can commission art from her!
https://www.instagram.com/panpukinart/
Are you an artist and want to have a painting in-game?
If you are an artist and would like your some of your custom artwork decorating homes of PirateCraft, you can submit a piece!
The rules for the gallery are these have to be Pirate themed and painted/created for PirateCraft, they can be lore, fanart or crew related, but they have to be custom made and be artwork!
You can either post them into #📷│media and tag me or Dm me them directly!
ℹ️ Each item frame in game is 128*128 pixels on a screen, so 4x4 frames would be 512x512px! These are very small canvas's! Survival
/crew home is now FREE the cost was replaced with a 30 min cooldown for everyone.
Any funny business and the cost will be re-added! But the cooldown should be a fair trade!
I have re-instated the size difference for phantoms, but they will be much smaller now, as the damage multiplies by their size! World Snapshots - All Servers
World snapshot restoring is back! As most of you know I am still re-building the server since we moved from 1.12, so some missing features are slowly coming back, Snapshots was one of them!
Snapshots are world backups that can be restored in-game live! These are differnt from a regen a regen re-creates the terrain from scratch based off the world generator.
Restoring a snapshot allows me to restore selections of a world to a previous day, this is great for quickly rolling back grief or destruction to repair a build.
All worlds can be restored to a snapshot, including creative worlds, this was one of the boring tasks I needed to complete before I started work on creative again, as creative can be volatile with all the tools to quickly paint terrain, I wanted this restore method back first!
The reason this wasn't possible when I moved to 1.18 was due to the sheer world size doubling, so keeping 10 days of local world snapshots was larger than all local storage! I bought an additional storage server just to do this!
Hopefully this makes you feel safe building on PirateCraft knowing this system exists! ❤️
ℹ️ Restore is a "last measure" and has to be requested as a support ticket as only I can do restores for Survival, but all admins will be able to restore in Creative!
https://piratemc.com/support/
Setup additional storage server
Created automated snapshots for all worlds on Survival and Creative
I now have local access to the entire world history back to 2016 - That's world backups for 6 years!
I have no idea what we could use this for, maybe if we wanted to restore an old demolished city for nostalgia? These would be very manual as the worlds are in older formats.
ℹ️ Snapshots started from so anything prior to this will be much harder to restore. Survival
Updated server software
Updated bounty plugin
Updated Treasure chest plugin Survival
Added protocol hack plugin to allow 1.19 clients to connect to our 1.18.2 server.
️ Currently this will not work as we have to wait for our proxy server software to be updated! This is preparation!
ℹ️ Since 1.19 was released, hopefully all plugins will start adding 1.19 support, this is a stage we have to be patient for developers to make any required changes to their plugin to support 1.19, There isn't any ground breaking changes from 1.18.2 to 1.19 so there shouldn't be any major issues for developers to get their plugins updated, but as always its a waiting game! I will tag the plugins as they are updated on PirateCraft on top of their usual changelogs so you are kept updated.
Updated Voting plugin (1.19 support & bugfixes)
Updated Updated world pre-generator (1.19 support)

ℹ️ I trialed updating to the latest 1.19 dev proxy server, but this broke both clients connecting! Too early I guess, we will have to stick to using 1.18.2 for now sadly, I'm in contact with the developers to see if we can resolve the issue(s).
Initial investigation points at the tab plugin needs updating from the looks of the errors, I guess we play everyone's favorite game, the waiting game You can now use the latest Minecraft client to connect to PirateCraft servers!

Using an invisibility potion will obscure your name from /near again. I am considering it would be better to fully remove your name from /near if you are invisible, I will create a poll at some point on discord to see how you want it. For now its back to how it was. Survival
Created /kit independence for the 4th July 2022! Get it now! #📢│announcements To see video of items!
Created Item trade page at the Tradesman NPC at /warp cove This is for updating broken event items to replace them for working versions.
The first item in for trade is the Bowcaster crossbow this was designed to be more powerful, but was never tested before release. Which resulted in it not working, It was requested today that a working version be tradeable at cove, so I have done that. This required the enchants to be nerfed to top vanilla enchants for the crossbow. Your choice now, keep the old one, trade for a working version!
@Contributor /condense was swapped to the Premium essentials plugin version today as it gives some better feedback in game, any issues with it, feel free to report it!
You can also use /compact as an alias. Website
