Survival Bit of a late changelog for me at 2am! Don't get used to it

I did a lot of setting up required for the Nassau/autumn 2021 event today, a lists worth. The take away is that I was able to open to the staff team for alpha testing for initial bugs! We already fixed a few launch issues tonight and have a few tweaks to make, as always it'll be constantly changing but already good progress on big thing's! Once initial alpha testings over we will move to beta for the community and then public! Thanks for your patience!

Updated OS

Survival add

New /kits system! Thanks to @bombniks for converting all the old kits to this new GUI based /kits system!

GUI based, so you can just /kits and click, ain't nobody got time for commands!

We can use my Treasure World so players can design kit items now! And I can swap them out LIVE! Let's do it live!

Armour can auto get placed in armour slots if you're naked.

We can "Preview" kits that you unlock later, at present I have this disabled to not confuse people.

A live countdown timer is shown when you hover over kits (Ignore the 10s ones on the 1 time use items!)

We can have a redeem number now! Have limited kit uses!

Everyone gets another parrot redeem due to this being a new kit plugin, it has to record you have "claimed" it, this wont be the same for rankup prizes as I used permissions for them (smort)

You can still use the command based kits like /kit cadet

I know the firstmate is in the wrong place, theres no reason it should be there, Ive opened a ticket with the dev!

More options for later are Separate names/Descriptions/Placeholders from any plugin/Custom icons/groups/weights/conditions upd

Changed permission when you rank-up to this new kits plugin permission for redeeming kits. rem

Removed permissions for getting kits from old plugin (edited)

Added another favorite [item] is back! The plugin got updated and it seems I must be the first person to test it, as its doing all sorts of weird things to formatting with <> around names and oddities, sending messages twice and showing the [i] before the messages! its kind of working... The developer already has given me a new version to test! ❤️ You do not need to report these issues if this turns out that peolpe use this to spam I will remove the plugin again until the developer can fix them.

You can also use [i] in chat! (edited)

Should each day automatically from 1st Dec to 25th dec put a new advent item into /advent Everything's active, so we will find out at 00:01 GMT tonight (I think that triggers earlier for USA folks) I'll be asleep by that time, so tomorrow morning I will check if its worked.

If you open it now on the 30th Nov, it will obviously be empty (Don't be dense) ℹ️ I need to figure out the 3 people that made the items from the ones I picked to give them keys for making the items and give credit, there will be a separate #📢│announcements this is just a changelog, so its logged.

Survival It feels like its been so long since I have posted in changelogs! So much has changed in the last few weeks, that I'm not sure I even covered everything I've done as I didnt keep a proper log! add

Upgraded the server from 1.12.2 to 1.18.1 parrot

Make sure to read all the changes on our blog post!

https://piratemc.com/2022/01/15/piratecraft-updated-6-minecraft-versions-to-1-18-1/

PirateCraft updated 6 Minecraft versions to 1.18.1

- PirateCraft

Upgraded from 1.12.2 to 1.18.1, nothing was lost, you can just log in and continue where you left off, for those of you that don't want to read the details!

Survival add

New random teleport portal at /spawn this works for everyone, and this works across the whole world including new 1.18 parts! I just landed on the top of a big snowy mountain! add

New messages for when you use random teleport portals on the overworld/nether, much cleaner. add

Added /wilderness alias add

Temp disabled using grindstones until a patch is pushed up stream to fix a bug add

Added a trade for the Autumn21 Treasure Chest key for a Winter21 Treasure Chest key at /warp cove via the Tradesman NPC. add

Added automatic key drops for the Winter21 Treasure chest upd

Updated all Eggs on the store (So they work now) and added a bunch of brand new eggs for new mobs! Thanks @atalantaa upd

Winter21 treasure chest 5 star items had their names replaced with gradients! First gradient custom items! upd

Updated how staff see chat, I moved the delete message icon to the right as it was a little intrusive on the left upd

Fixed sounds working in Treasure Chests upd

Just a plethora of performance changes, there will be a lot of tweaking involved in the following weeks to try and fix 1.18.1! There's bound to be a ton more, but I've not been focused on Discord! survival

Website upd

Updated website banner & updated online users widget add

Added winter21 treasure chest keys to the store https://donate.piratemc.com/checkout/packages/add/4900348/single (edited)

Survival add

Re-added similarity check after we've already had some deckhands spamming the same message! Set at 55% similarity, if it needs tweaking or a word added to the whitelist contact staff. Thanks for the report @Kangy_Roo (edited)

Website upd

Fixed all Gifts on the store, and added a bunch of new gifts thanks to @atalantaa making me a list!

Bunch of small new things to pick at checkout for Captain!

@Contributor if you contributed recently and it didn't process gifts because it was using old ID's instead of 1.13 names, DM me with a replacement gift, go check the store to see the options now.

Survival upd

Re-fixed the End-crystal damage for next reboot, not sure how it reset itself back to default! (Halved damage) via @DeofiloW1

Survival upd

Updated server software upd

Removed lotto and grappling hook from vote treasure chest temporarily while we have neither plugin upd

Enabled compression between survival <-> bungee, it was recommended to disable it, but this is a trial to see if it improves loading chunks. upd

Live map fixed itself on reboot upd

Farm Animals may be soft nerfed while I run some stats on it all.

Survival add

Re-added beds not exploding in the nether (Next reboot) Not sure how this setting removed itself. add

Gave all staff permissions to bypass a full server (Lets hope this works this time

) @Helper @Moderator @Admin @Media @Build Leader

I cant even join a full server, and i'm OP!

See Proxy changes below upd

Grindstones are back working! Updated server software which fixed some poor grindstone behavior, massive thank you to @encode42 for developing these fixes!

Fixes bug with Grindstones not removing Attributes/Item name & lore from items.

This means you can finally remove kit and event item names/lore! Sadly you cant use your golden apples in the grindstone to make cider!

Solves bug of pirates removing balancing enchants from event items to make them super OP!

Solves keeping Event/kit items as collectibles without them being modified and be able to stay balanced! rem

Removed the block & message from grindstones in all worlds. rem

Removed the compression between survival <-> bungee, wasn't sure it did anything.

Proxy

Updated the maximum allowed players across all servers, and higher limit for "maximum" users to 75/50 on survival, which should give us some leeway to allow staff to bypass. Just a note to staff, please don't push us past 55 online, we can barely handle 50/50 on 1.18

We will get back there! add

Added settings so I can setup a test server again (Whitelist staff only) so I can start playing around with performance tweaks not live! This whole re-building the server process is bonkers time consuming! (edited)

Survival upd

Fixed the netherite axe in the Winter21 Treasure chest actually spawning with a name when it's won. I guess DM me if you won one that didn't spawn with a name and I will replace it at some point.

Survival parrot

Big woopsie happened while I was at work, the Disk got full on the dedi, because I still had all the transfer files, the whole 1.12 and 1.17 version of the server which was taking up most of the space and the backups are absolutely enormous now. Sadly with how java works, when the disk gets full, it randomly just wipes files, this included the world borders! it looks like a bunch of you made a mad dash for the end cities! So I would highly suggest giving your out of border loot back to @Moderator or @Admin so you were not exploiting any server glitches! (We will be looking it up!) So I had to push a bunch of backups for files that randomly died. I most likely didn't get all of them so if you see any odd behavior from plugins pop a message into #📁│bugs-archive The "discord linked" files also got whacked, so you may need to re-discord link. add

I figured out the TPS drops when the treasure key is dropped, it was nothing to do with the dropkey code, it was somehow the schedule system I used that told it how often to drop, it wasn't a plugin but part of my wrapper, extremely strange. So I have moved all my automatic schedules to the premium essentials plugin, sadly this does not look like its bloody doing them on time! 1 step forward 4 steps back! All in all a pretty negative day

Survival upd

Updated server software! I love the speed of these updates. rem

Temp disabled using shulker eggs please read Ata's #📢│announcements

https://discord.com/channels/139382225375330305/207479302311116800/933644394614116482

Hopefully the server crashing bug is now fixed massive thanks to @andrewandy for doing testing with me last night! upd

Updated Live map plugin

You will most likely need to clear your browser cache with shift+reload to get the new web files.

Fix block renders for lanterns, bells, pistons, mushrooms, composters, grindstones, end portals, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, crafting tables, furnaces

Fix problem with rendering blocks above Y=304

workaround seams between map tiles add

Added Async WorldEdit tasks for @Admin again to regen lands

Pre-warning pirates, 1.18 terrain generation is completely different to our 1.17.10 - 1.17, so regen will not blend in with existing terrain! You have been pre-warned! This will be a massive ongoing process over time! rem

Removed WorldEdit in favor of FAWE for regen/cli tools. (edited)

Shops Shop s71 has been evicted du to be empty and not propperly used as a shop

Survival add

Re-enabled limits to armor stands that we lost when we moved entity limiting plugins, apparently this new one didn't limit armor stands at all and pirates been abusing it already!

Ever wonder why we cant have nice things?

Re-enabled limit of 10 armor stands per chunk.

Disabled armor stands being pushed in water, somehow the only way to do this is to disable their gravity apparently, so this may cause more issues, we will have to see.

Disabled dispenser dispensing armor stands, have only ever seen this used for lag machines, if there is a legitimate use-case mention the use-case to staff and we can decide.

Website I swear I cant catch a break. upd

Fixed website not loading/500 internal server errors from automatised update last night and this morning. derp

(edited)

Survival - /warp vip upd

Fixed long outstanding build issue with the region on /warp vip now all staff are able to build/break here @Build Leader @Builder @Moderator @Admin feel free to tear down the lot and start again! build what you want, make it pretty! or useful! upd

The spawner is being worked on to be fixed add

Added a Community Garden at /warp vip that all @Contributor can build/break in (Red box in the screenshot)

You'll get a title/message in chat when you enter the area.

Its just a community shared garden space! Not for claiming areas or shops! No shops signs allowed!

We've already had a penis made before its even been announced

I'm 95% sure I will have to remove this community garden, but I was just curious what you will all do here as.

Set your own rules in #💎│contributor you lot! (edited)

Survival add

@Helper and above I created a new collection area/NPC to do staff things with at /warp private and decorated the area a small bit, you can collect your keys from him now!

Survival add

Chat configs moved to Github, staff can help me manage filters & formatting! add

Re-added Racist filter & automated punishments. Now way more aggressive punishing. After years of testing with tempmutes I cant see many false positives, if it does false positive people can request it be removed form their record.

Automated 5 day temp ban & 30 days mute

Removed kick & warning, as the warning was replaced by the temp ban & mute.

Anyone that tricks people to use it will get the same punishments add

Re-added some Missives (thanks @Bazurka for converting these!)

Theres a bug with the chat plugin (surprised pikachu) that will only let me show 1 group of Missives to people

I think i'm going to try and move all the Deckhand/Basic information into the Bible or /guides /howtoplay and /help instead of brining back the groups, as I have liked the chat being relatively clean. upd

@Helper @Moderator @Admin Fixed the toggle commands for staff channels, no more /thru being taken over for /th upd

Updated server software upd

Reduced chrous fruit cooldown from 15s to 5s to match pearl. upd

Live Map: Set 1.18 new border on the live map to be auto hidden, you can toggle it on in the layers if you want to see where it starts, but its obvious in the terrain change! upd

Started a full map render, this will take a day or so to complete. upd

Updated Java profile plugin upd

Updated GriefPrevention plugin (Claims) upd

Updated Premium essentials & Lib plugins rem

Removed Ship region plugin as it does not support flags (Yet) survival

Proxy

Updated Proxy server (edited)

Survival Continued.. Discord limits.. upd

Updated GriefPrevention Claim Expiration settings ℹ️ Deckhand Claims ChestClaimDays & UnusedClaimDays are for the brand new claims with your first chest (Deckhands claims), Unused claims are empty claims that have not had anything built in them, or just trash like cobble and dirt. ChestClaimDays is a straight up empty claim with nothing in it. ℹ️ The All Claims checks 1 random player every 1 min from the claims database, if they have been inactive 90 days it then checks if they have more than 1000 claim blocks or more than 2500 bonus blocks (Vote/Buying in-game/Store etc) if they do they they are ignored and their claims are permanent. If the players gets checked randomly, they are offline 90 days and don't have those values then their claims are removed. It is aggressive to clean up as many old claims as we can automatically, then once we are happy we will make it much higher, but most peolpe already bypass by having enough claim blocks or bonus blocks already and are safe!

 Expiration:
ChestClaimDays: 3
UnusedClaimDays: 14
AllClaims:
DaysInactive: 90
ExceptWhenOwnerHasTotalClaimBlocks: 1000
ExceptWhenOwnerHasBonusClaimBlocks: 2500

ℹ️ We will be monitoring the logs for removed claims to make sure its not removing good claims, we haven't ever been able to test this properly before due to it never working before! if you have better ideas for values PLEASE message staff with your ideas for better values (Not me) and they can pass on the message if they agree. ℹ️ This description is terrible, I will try and write a better one for the guide page thats easier to understand after I have done some better research, heres a bit of background by me from years ago and seems to be the only documentation for the plugin I can find!

https://piratemc.com/topic/claim-expiration-discussion-vote/ (edited)

Survival add

@Contributor you gained /toggle to /toggle pm, /toggle join and /toggle death to toggle receiving those messages in chat! ℹ️ Everyone else remember you can /ignore annoying people and you can also /ch Leave the global chat altogether! So you can play in silence! it will auto re-enable when you log off and on again! ℹ️ I accidentally found /l today which I didn't know listed all online players, not sure how helpful that will be, but it exists! add

All staff @Helper I added /g as an alias to talk in global chat, so if you are toggled in a staff chat you can now use /g shut the fudge up landlubbers! Next reboot itll work with tab complete. rem

Removed Elf at cove rem

Removed portal in Kracken at cove (edited)

Survival upd

The SignShop plugin (The signs you use to make shops) will be updated tomorrow reboot at GMT 10:30am

Hopefully there will be no issues, so please just be vigilant with any oddities from after tomorrow mornings reboot with shop signs, please report any issues into #📁│bugs-archive

Survival upd

Survival add

Re-set clearing people's /back locations when they are killed in PvP (Not other deaths!) This happens silently.

RIP @Taulov for testing for me.

Survival add

Added a bypass permission for @Contributor to not receive Chat Missive group that advertise the store as you are already a contributor! This is entirely untested and i'm going off what the developers told me is the correct way to set this up haha, so I'll have to test it works when i'm home. upd

For @Admin I gave the /an announcement a default color to yellow, I have no idea why the default was grey that you cant read. upd

Modified the racist filter regex to hopefully not false positive again, but it is regex and i'm not the smartest man, so never say never! ℹ️ Did you know? You can post spotify.com links in chat to songs/playlists to share/listen with others, these bypass the advert filter! survival

Survival add

Added back the old PvP combat tag name above head, as this was fixed by the PvP tagging plugin. I added [combat] to explain why people are red. rem

Removed Glow from PvP tagging via @fernandoalonsooficial https://piratemc.com/topic/combat-tag-glowing/ rem

Removed the /siege cooldown on the command due to people screwing up the command and not being able to use it again for an hour, this was left over legacy. upd

Fixed title when you kill someone no longer showing %otherplayer_iteminhand_<player>% and should display the item name again. This was due to me not installing the placeholder add-on for it. ℹ️ We are aware that the /siege in the default GriefPrevention sucks and there are issues with it, as mentioned in https://piratemc.com/2022/01/15/piratecraft-updated-6-minecraft-versions-to-1-18-1/ Our old version was a Fork of GP, which means we require an active developer to keep our forked version updated. What I would much prefer is a custom siege mechanic to my design specs as its own standalone plugin, but again it requires a developer. Please just be patient until we find someone that has the time to do such a project. The Siege blocks are not working at present and after testing today seems like an issue with the actual plugin itself. (edited)

Survival add

Added all /emoji back to server replacement. add

Added adding color to all commands in chat to highlight them! MUCH cleaner. I'm aware some people will use this to abuse using color in chat, but if you do it'll be a LONG mute like 3-5 days . /If /you /do /this /to /spam /chat /we /will /mute /you and if you continue it'll just be a ban. add

Created some Bot type detection for things like How do I sail or how do I set home which wont show the message to global and instead give them a clickable link with custom formatting. rem

Removed L from filter, this was super legacy toxic filter.

Survival upd

Backdated jump pads plugin, was doing some funky things to tps. upd

Denied bounty claiming in /warp arena with flag bounty-claim

️ Turns out The bounty plugin isn't saving bounties over restarts into the database! Its saving player data, just not bounties into the table! I've contacted the developer, see if they can get it fixed soon. Be patient. (edited)

Survival rem

Temporarily disabled /siege until the developers of GriefPrevention plugin fix soft blocks working, its causing too many problems with players sieging and getting angry that its not working. I have replaced the siege command with a message that explains that we are awaiting someone to fix it, someone must have broken it when they updated GP to 1.17/1.18.

Updated some other command based chat filters to give extended information too. upd

You can no longer /mail me directly in-game, it will direct people to /helpop /discord or to create a ticket on the website, I never read these, ever!

Gave Deckhands a spawn kit again, turns out since 1.18 not a single deckhand has been giving a starting kit! they have been naked and empty! So any of them that have stuck around are top pirates! Looks like I never set it up to use the new GUI kit system when we did that change and it was using the old text version that broke!

Disabled essentials trying to set the spawnkit. add

Gave Deckhands some more starting food in their spawnkit and also some carrots/potatoes for a small farm because they used to be able to search the spawn ship for these things but the plugin that refilled these chest hasn't been updated in 6 years and does not work on 1.18! add

Re-added /kit ship Not sure why this vanished, turns out everyone can claim it again! Changed it a bit, stack of black wool and sail guide now added! you can now recommend this to deckhands again! thanks to @lazydog11 for noticing it was missing!

Sadly I tried to make it a gradient but it wouldn't allow the name to populate in the gradient!

Survival add

Improving your ping Introducing dynamic render distance for those with poor internet connections to dynamically reduce render distance when you have poor connection, also good for people with intermittent wifi! upd

Reduced how aggressive the anti-xray is, this is still on, but its going to be way less aggressive, I was reading PR's to the server software and a comment mentioned that having the anti xray turned to max actually sends more packets of data to peolple! Why this isn't commented in the docs I have no idea. upd

Updated server software Boring Details parrot

1.18 doubled the packet data sent to players, which has proven problematic for people further away to any Minecraft server, not just PirateCraft or just poor internet connections. Couple this with larger render distance and players not changing their render distance from default (Even after repeatedly asking them to do it!) this means maximum render distance of 7 chunks is being sent with these new 1.18 double data per chunk, choking peoples connections. I have decided to look into methods to dynamically change peolpes render that does not require them to change their client settings, before I drop the render back down to 4, as a lot of us prefer having the option to have larger render (I do).

I did a poll, 90% of players just use default client values, and/or are worried about changing client settings. ℹ️ The server software actually respects your client settings if you change your render distance in client the server sends less packets of data for chunks to you! YOU have control and need to be adapting your settings still. ℹ️ If this does not work, I have another plan that I will implement of a hard render of 4 and my own custom opt in command to toggle 7 render without this dynamic plugin

(edited)

Website add

Re-created the webpage redirect for https://mc.piratemc.com and gave it an SSL cert, for some reason some people try and use this as a website address instead of a server connection, so now this redirects to the website if they try and put the server IP into a browser, I had this before I had to re-build the server.

Nice way to quickly search/history/keep updated with your crew on the go!

Requirements; At least 3 verified Crew members, £500 in-game and the Crew leader has to run the command.

There's a hard limit of 100 crew channels that can be made (100 crews) due to limits with Discord channels, so its first come first serve. ℹ️ I will reduce the price later on, waiting for feedback from staff on price, for now its the same price as setting a crew home.

Nerfed respawn_anchor explosion damage to match end crystal power, as that boi packs a punch! My god does that do some damage! Prevent this being used in PvP for 1 shot kills (Personally I like that

Survival upd

@Helper @Moderator @Admin Fixed muted players usernames.

Survival locker

Locker is back up and working! When I moved from 1.12.2 to 1.18, I decided to get rid of the per-world inventory plugin as it was a massive overhead saving every single persons inventory every time you interacted with something, this was only on the server to have a separate inventory for the Locker! So I wrote a script today to that saves/restores inventory when entering and leaving the locker. Took the time to improve it while I was at it. add

@Moderator @Admin Locker now requires a reason, which is saved as a Warning to the player so they know the reason they were sent to the locker and its logged. /locker <username> <reason> (You have no idea how tempted I was to locker people automatically that try this command that do not have permission isforme

)

Now forces a reason/warning.

Custom message is sent with the warning message to the user thats been sent to the player, see screenshot.

Inv is saved then wiped when entering the locker, so players always have fresh inventories if they have visited the locker before.

Inventory is restored when getting yourself out of the locker or staff use /unlocker (Even more tempted to wipe inv if people thy this while in the locker)

Manual unlockers are logged to mod chat so staff can see it. ℹ️ WTF is the locker? The locker is a punishment, its a purgatory world that I came up with. You are sent here with no tools, armor, food which you cannot get in this world! The only way to get out is to mine sand by hand, buy sand Dollars and then use those Sand Dollars to pay Davy Jones to pay your debt out of this world! You can not use any commands or chat in the locker.

Re-added the old Entity farm manager plugin

I have specifically added this to get a timings report for when it creates a TPS drop so I can report the issue to the developer @Helper Keep an eye out for the message that pops up and watch tps to see if it still does this.

This will most likely start cleaning up entities that were not covered by the other entity managing plugin, Most importantly Villagers. But everyone's had plenty of warning!

The other farm managing plugin is still on, as it manages AI for farm animals.

Villagers seem to still be the number one source of server resources, even after that mini purge for liming them per chunk! I underestimated how rubbish their path finding/POI system is! If anyone can find a better POI replacement for Villagers, PLEASE send it to me! I cant seem to find a replacement, other than a plugin that you right click a block on them to set their profession, then the POI may be entirely disabled? Not sure. upd

Trialing a hard nerf on giant villager farms, those with over 50 villagers+ all within 160 blocks of each other, this is reversible and can be changed live, so don't panic. A hard nerf means these two settings are added: remove-awareness Removes the entity's ability to pathfind. and disable-collisions Stops the entity from colliding with other entities. They should still function as villagers! This should hopefully stop them all trying to find a Point of interest, especially those giant farms with pre 1.14 villagers of players that are long gone with mammoth farms with old villagers in that have no profession! These will all have to be cleared up by admins over time. Just be in contact with staff if this somehow drastically changes villy farms (Other than setting POI), I will only be able to know if this makes a big difference when we are full again, so I may need to wait until the weekend

Website

Sneak peak at a part of a custom private dashboard I made myself in the last few days, queries and shows me entity count live (this part) so I can keep an eye on the entities that are alive and ticking that current minute! You may be able to figure out what entity we need to focus on reducing next! (there are 9 people online when I took this screenshot) ℹ️ This screenshot in no way reflects the average numbers of the server, there were 9 players online when I took this screenshot! This is very, very, very low to what we have loaded on average.
