I created a discord server months ago but never bothered to sit down and get it all sorted out, I started off on Slack years ago when it came out and since then there has been 100 pop-up versions of slack, picking the “best solution” is very hard, so lets give discord a try, it may work, it may not!

Discord information page on Piratemc.com
I have added a permanent page to get to the discord information under the “Information” tab on the menu, which links to http://piratemc.com/information/discord/
Getting Discord
Discord works from any web browser at https://discordapp.com/channels/@me
But it also has OS based Clients https://discordapp.com/apps For OSX, Windows, Android and IOS (Linux coming soon)
What is discord?
Discord is a free voice and text chat app designed specifically for gaming, Its suppose to be a modern voice and text communication tool to replace Teamspeak and Skype, I will not be removing the Skype group (I never visit this ever) or the Teamspeak (I pop on from time to time) Discord will be an addition to these.
Discord can be used from the web browser, it has its own mobile apps across all platforms.
I don’t have to run a server for discord, its all hosted, and its free for anyone to create a server. If you want a full feature list then you can visit their main website at https://discordapp.com/features which compares all vent, teamspeak and skype in once place.
Infancy
I am brand spanking new to Discord, so settings and permissions may not be setup properly, this can change at any point, and I ask you to please reply to this forum thread if you think it should be any different, I have set a rough idea of the permissions I think it should have.
Roles
Discord has roles, that have permissions to manage the discord server, I have setup these current roles:
- Admin (RearAdmiral/Admiral)
- Moderator (Commodore)
- Media (media team)
- Builder (Server Building team)
- Helper, This will be a general helper, to help manage the discord server, have control over the help channel and be able to be summoned for help, I will expand this role into the main server as a role once I move over to a new permission system (This is not to be discussed in this forum thread, we already have forum threads talking about helper role permissions in-game)
The helper role and above will be able to set the role of anyone to a specific crew channel - Crew 1 – To allow voice chat in crew 1 channel
- Crew 2 – To allow voice chat in crew 2 channel
- Crew 3 – To allow voice chat in crew 3 channel
If these are not enough Crew channels and discord gets used, I will expand these to 10/how many we need.
Nicknames
Please choose the same username as you use in Minecraft to stop confusion, The moderator and helper roles will be able to change nicknames, but please get it right from the start!
Game Chat in discord!
There are plugins that allow me to have 2 way chat from discord to piratecraft game chat, and even use commands as an admin with a full searchable history of chat, I really want to improve communication between staff/players, but at present I find in-game chat impossible to talk to people and I just get very frustrated with it, Having a separate desktop tool may help me mange these conversations live, with permissions this does also mean I can allow anyone to view the current server game chat live in discord too! I won’t allow replying as we all know how the live map chat turned out (Boo to those that spoilt it… bastards) I also wont allow server history to try and stop witch hunting and people searching the chat history to try and get someone in trouble because they pissed them off. But staff will be able to. (Gets exited about using a mobile app to talk to chat in game (that isn’t minechat, im not giving you my password minechat you cheeky monkeys))
This isn’t implemented yet, a I need to test and find the best plugin, if discord fails, I may try a teamspeak plugin, or an IRC one.
Server Location
I chose US Central for best ping as a lot of you are from the US.Verification Level
At present anyone with a verified email on discord can join, This can be bumped up later to “must be registered for longer than 5 mins” if we have issues with trolls/Or member of PirateCraft discord server for 10 mins.
AFK Channel
Auto afk is set to 5 mins, I might change this to 15 to match the server, what do you think?
UI Choices & Photo Avatars
Personal preferences are set bottom left, there is a cog that when you hover over says “User settings”, Clicking appearance, there are options for a Dark theme and a Compact theme, select both of these, it makes the app 100x better, I wish I could default that to all users.
As I don’t control this server software, I cant add plugins to auto pull images for your minecraft character, you can set your image in this settings are too, to quickly get an image of your minecraft head put your username into this URL https://cravatar.eu/helmhead/GodsDead/256.png in a web browser and save the image to your desktop to add to discord.
Topic: LiveMap Chat Again?
Hello! I was just wondering about live map chat… I know it was disabled a while ago because of abuse or something, but I believe after a while we have learned our lesson. So @godsdead please consider adding live map chat once again. Thanks for listening,

Hi
For the past few days, many of us have been getting this annoying, now infamous, sentence in our playing time. That sentence is, Piratecraft is restarting, come back in 1 minute. Lately, Piratecraft has been getting much more lag more frequently. The lag could be coming from just anything really, an increase in players, amount of people in a given area maybe, more sailing of larger ships, the emotes, or the upcoming transition to 1.10 minecraft. Just last night, people on the piratecraft server experienced a large lag spike which resulted in the server restarting 2 or 3 times. At the time of the lag spike, there were many people at Ae0 island play fighting so maybe that had something to do with the restarting of the server. Today, GodsDead closed the server for a little bit so he could get rid of the emotes because he believed that, that was causing the lag spikes. So far after that, there haven’t been any manual restartings that I know about. So what do you think is causing all of this lag and what do you think will happen to the current lag when 1.10 hits? Tell the Pirate Craft Times your opinion in the reply section below. If I messed up on any of my information in the news story please mention that as well, it all helps!-Spreading news across the seas, we’ll see you on the server!
Is it because of lots of people gathering up?

Hey everyone Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷTopic: Cannon Breaking Glitch
So, today I realized if you break a cannon with a sign on it even if it’s in a claimed area, it changes the cannon to your ownership.
example: GodsDead claims a cannon with claim blocks and uses a sign on the side to make it his cannon. a player comes up and breaks any block on the cannon, it will say no permissions as usual, but it will say that you now own the cannon.
I don’t think this glitch is major, but I just wanted to point it out.
@godsdead If the server is currently using NoCheat, isn’t there a config option called “hover ticks” which is basically a limit of ticks for which a player can “fly” for before the plug-in assumes that the player is flying and kicks them from the server? Couldn’t this number just be increased a bit to account for server lag, client lag, and poor PC performance? Or maybe tweak combat log a bit so that it allows a 10-20 second log in period before it kills you and drops your items?
@godsdead you could do this, or you could make it so that a disconnect as a result of a kick doesn’t kill you when you are combat tagged
Please take a second and think before posting. “Oh no im in a PVP battle! wait I can just log off, look at the map until they are gone and then come back“. Do not reply to this, this is day 1, book 1, page 1 kind of server moderating mate.

Its just shit, I’m going to replace it when we move to 1.10 properly.
