The reason for the recent downtime is because my hosting provider decommissioned the server hardware that PirateCraft was hosted on, I had little time to react as they sent me the email at 21:50 Thursday night! Only 2 days later they took down the PirateCraft, Assured from the email it would take 60 Minutes maximum to transfer over data to the server server and here we are 2 days late with no live server, No new IP, I can’t login to any control panel/FTP , totally locked out.
I have been in a very long ticket conversation with support but their unprofessional answers & lack of support and communication is starting to worry me.
I am still waiting for a reply.
I’m gone for two weeks and you guys loose control wtf!

Read up, a massive exploit was found in all minecraft servers, vanilla and bukkit, it was made public by some idiot on reddit and the script kiddies took advantage of nearly every single minecraft server running that has this exploit, it was not anything specific to piratecraft.
Luckily, I turned off dragons doing damage, otherwise we would have ourselfs a very hole ridden server!
I think a few escaped and are flying around the map waiting for a user to load that 10×10 chunk area around them.
I installed a Mod tracker on the livemap to show any ghasts or dragons in the mainworld, I will be on tonight to troubleshoot any problems that were caused.
They tried and failed to disable griefprevention so everything in those claims were protected form stray dragons.

From what we can see the only damage they managed to do was to Mine and SuperGL’s ship at the cove, plus they banned and deleted SuperGL!
I think the script kiddies were mentally challenged, the problem came from a recently found exploit affecting Craftbukkit versions prior to build #2854 and Vanilla servers, which allowed them to take over my account!
We are now patched, updated, banned the players and fixed the miniscule amount of damage they did, but we still need people to help us fly around the world and check for damage.

After an issue with the server, we are pleased to announce that minimal damage has been made to the world and your builds are safe!
The server will not be a whitelist server as we are open to everyone and welcome everyone with a mighty Yarrgghhh!!!
Please stand by while we reconfigure a few settings backend, this shouldn’t take too long.
Once the server is backonline we would like assistance as to what happened? and would need a small scout group to search the map for any damage we have overlooked.
Thank you for your patience and loyalty, this is a pain to all and we will be investigating.
Those who were involved with this issue, The hammer will speak and you will be banned indefinitely.

Alternatively, anyone good at making textures? We could always develop our own Piratecraft resource pack.

Can anybody find a clearer image breakdown version of this?

I was also wondering if I could humbly request for the ability to kick players, like one guy came on saying ”I’ll kill you fag” and talking about how everyone ”eats d***s” and other, scenic words, people like that need to be kicked and banned bear in mind there’s young kids c’mon this server, don’t want them learning bad stuff and then being like, oh I read it on Piratecraft that’d screw us

What mods that? Sadly there’s no server side cape capabilities.
Theres a mod but its client side. To see each others capes everyone has to have the mod 🙁
