Disabled Zombie Pigmen spawning in Portals – RIP Gold farms

Literally had this image in my head that handicapped pigmen, and other mobs, were spawning across the Piratecraft server. I’m an idiot.

Paul I’m so glad you made this post, as this is something that has been eating away at me a lot recently, I do feel like its just people piggybacking off what they have seen in the past on the forums and feel like they should do it, But I have also seen a few different reasons why people have creating these posts and they have all been the wrong way to tackle a situation or change they wanted. Never should anyone try and manipulate a change via drama. I would like for this trend to die out, never been a fan of these posts, it gives the entire PirateCraft community a negative feel to anyone that finds the server.

If you have an issue, please do create a ticket or Private message a staff member.

If you have planned to leave, just read Pauls write-up; Time management is key to everything in life; I work full time, work out, have hobbies and family, I still find time to reply to all messages, forum posts, mange plugins, issues and run PirateCraft on an hour or two a day that I have free.

There is a idiom for this forum post craze, I see it as “Burning bridges”: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/burn+bridges

You should never burn bridges as much as you would like to turn to the boss and shout “Fuck you!” in his face before leaving.

Read Paul’s post again.

It is not wise to mention that server name on the forums, as it goes against the advertising rules. We especially do not want to publicise a server known for hacking.

Nevertheless, I see you wanted to draw a parallel between a crew here on PirateCraft who seemed to be using hacks themselves. I personally cannot remember these individuals. As Wilson says, it is very possible that this crew took the other server as inspiration (it is very well-known). Thus it would not surprise me if they used hacks and glitches to raid, but there would have to be proof.

At the same time, one cannot say that just because you have played that particular server you definitely have a modified client. I have visited it myself and I would never consider using cheaty, scummy hacks – even in an environment like that! I am astounded that the spawn has apparently been “renovated”, according to the timeline. When I went there, it was the most surreal environment I have ever seen on a live server… It’s the result of what happens when you unleash hundreds of withers at the same time. ._.

I might be leaving PirateCraft for a while this summer. The following trailer is completely unrelated.

No not you Browe! I’m seriously going to miss you. I do hope when we get more going on later on youll pop back again for some more laughs.

I wish you all the best Browe, and you’ll always be welcome on PirateCraft.

Galaxy, it’ll be a big hit not seeing you online,  but it’s great that you focusing on school! I wish you all the best and Piratecraft will always  be open for you to come back to! All the best.

I have never used servers and plugins. Sorry if I say something that makes no sense, but I’ll try at least once. I downloaded the dynmap jar and opened it with Winrar to see the files inside. There is a folder called “texture packs” which, in my case, contains just a “standard” folder (default textures). In your case the “texture packs” folder should contain “standard” and “Dokucraft light”, which I believe is the resource pack used on the live map of Piratecraft. Would it work if you copy the missing textures from this jar: https://www.dokucraft.co.uk/resource-packs/light And paste them in the dynmap/texturepacks/Dokucraftlight/assets/minecraft/blocks jar folder?

Good idea! I have updated our Dokucraft light texturepack for the map, it may need a restart of the server to read from the updated texturepack (If it works) I kept a backup of the old texturepack just in case, I have a feeling it only worked with texturepacks and not resource packs when they made the transfur. We will find out if parts of the map start getting rendered in the default!

Charter of the Commonwealth of Nations

Introduction

The Commonwealth of Nations (CoN) serves as a political and military alliance of like-minded crews on the PirateCraft server. It is managed in-game, on the official PirateCraft forums and through various other online communication channels on demand.

Article I – Membership

To apply for membership, a candidate crew must present the following filled-in form in the CoN Embassy forum group:

Name of crew:
Names of active settlements:
Number of active crew members (login within one week):
Names of active crew members:
Allies:
Enemies:

Every application will be assessed by the representatives of CoN through a vote. If a two-thirds majority is in favour of admission, the applicant joins as a member on equal footing. If the two-thirds majority is not achieved, the applicant is rejected.

Any member crew is free to leave whenever they choose without fear of reprisal provided that a resignation on the forum and all outstanding debts are discharged. The announcement must be made a week in advance in the CoN forum group and all debts must be paid off. Upon departure, all positions and access rights of the former CoN member crew members will be revoked.

Article II – Organisation

CoN is run through the Commonwealth Secretariat. The head of the secretariat is the Commonwealth Secretary-General. He or she is responsible for publishing CoN broadcasts, representing CoN on an international level and mediating conflicts. The Secretary-General holds the ability to freely create and dismantle Commissioner roles (with the exception of the Election Commissioner). These new government positions lawfully wield the powers granted by the Secretary-General.

The elected Commonwealth Secretary-General may appoint a Commonwealth Deputy Secretary-General belonging to any CoN member crew upon taking office. The Deputy is responsible for fulfilling the same duties as the Secretary-General in his or her absence.

The Election Commissioner is responsible organising votes in a fair, lawful and timely fashion. He or she is independent from the Secretary-General.

Each CoN member crew is represented by its crew leader and one CoN ambassador who may be elected as the crew sees fit. These two individuals are referred to as the crew representatives.

Commonwealth Secretariat members are promoted to forum group administrator status. CoN crew representatives are promoted to forum group moderator status. Upon relinquishing a representative or Secretariat position, all group administration and moderation rights are revoked.

The Commonwealth Secretary-General is elected for a four month term by the CoN crew representatives. The Election Commissioner runs the election. Each CoN member crew may put forward one candidate. The CoN crew representatives may vote for any candidate they please save their own. The leader and ambassador of a particular crew are not obliged to vote for the same candidate. After a seven-day voting period or once a decisive amount of votes are cast, the candidate with the greatest number of votes is appointed the Commonwealth Secretary-General.

The Election Commissioner is elected for a four month term by the CoN representatives. The Secretary-General runs the election. Any CoN member may propose themselves as a candidate. After a seven-day voting period or once a decisive amount of votes are cast, the candidate with the greatest number of votes is appointed the Election Commissioner.

A player may serve no more than two successive terms as Commonwealth Secretary-General or Election Commissioner in a row. There is no limit to the total number of times a player may serve as Commonwealth Secretary-General or Election Commissioner.

A no-confidence motion may be launched to remove an existing Commonwealth Secretary-General or Election Commissioner before the end of his or her term. This may become necessary due to inactivity, corruption or other causes which are to the detriment of CoN. The vote of no-confidence may be initiated by any CoN crew representative and passes with a two-thirds majority. A new election must take place three days later, which is run by the representative who launched the no-confidence motion.

The resignation of a Secretary-General or Election Commissioner immediately sparks an election process after a three day period.

Article III – Voting

All official votes in CoN must be held transparently. There will be no hidden votes or straw poll votes. If no one wants to become the Election Commissioner, the Secretary-General may choose someone in CoN to take on the roll.

Any CoN crew representative may present a proposal to the Commonwealth Secretariat. After a three day discussion period, the Election Commissioner is obliged to run a vote if no resolution or decision could be agreed upon in the discussion thread and the representative who presented the proposal wishes to pursue it. The vote must be presented in an official voting thread within a timeframe of seven days after the discussion ended.

All crew representatives are granted an equal vote and may cast it once per topic. The Commonwealth Secretary-General and his or her Vice do not generally participate in votes unless they are also crew leaders or ambassadors. If the result of a vote is undecided, the Secretary-General may cast a deciding vote.

The result of a vote is determined by the representatives who cast their vote. Uncast votes do not count towards the total tally.

Votes pertaining to everyday matters are run for three days and pass with a simple majority vote.

Votes pertaining to changes within CoN’s structure are run for seven days and pass with a two-thirds majority vote.

A new resolution may neither be conflict with any existing resolution nor the with the charter.

Article IV – War

Under no circumstances may a CoN declare war against a fellow CoN member crew while a member of the alliance. Committing a crime against a player of another CoN member crew shall be treated and dealt with as a crime committed against one’s own crew. Self-defence is permissible.

Offensive calls to war are voted upon in the official CoN forum group. If the simple majority of CoN representatives is in favour of war, every CoN crew must declare war. If the simple majority of CoN representatives is not in favour, no crew is required to join, but any willing crew may do so.

Defensive calls must always be answered by all CoN member crews. A declaration of war against a single member crew counts as a declaration of war against the whole alliance. If a member crew has had war declared upon them, all other CoN members crews must strive to provide aid to the best of their abilities.

Article V – Intelligence

All members of CoN are obliged to share any information that may be of importance to its fellows. No CoN member crew may share vital information with any foreign nations nor may private information be made public without the unilateral agreement of all CoN member crew representatives.

Article VI – Conflicts and Justice

Any player that commits transgressions against CoN member crews shall be expelled from their respective crew and/or punished unless otherwise negotiated. Failure by a CoN member crew to fulfill compensation agreements for damages committed against a fellow CoN member crew may be counted as a violation of the Charter during the time where the damage is relevant.

An crew may in principal only be expelled if all the member states are unilaterally in favour of expulsion. Exceptions may occur in the following situations:

1. A CoN member crew that violates the Charter may be brought to justice. The appropriate punishment will be negotiated between the relevant parties. If a guilty crew refuses to comply, the protection of this Charter shall no longer apply to them and they may become a military target. They may also be expelled through a simple majority vote.

2. If multiple CoN member crews are at variance with each other, their conflicts must be aired on the official CoN forum. A nation that refuses to comply with this regulation may be expelled through a simple majority vote.

3. If multiple CoN crew member crews wish to expel each other, a vote must be held to decide the member status of each involved crew. A simple majority is required to expel a crew in this case. The cantankerous crews shall only be expelled after all the votes have been evaluated.

An member crew of CoN may NOT be brought to trial for a crime committed that is no longer relevant or was solved at the time.

Hello everyone, Google sent me an email saying I should move to https, So I spent the last few hours researching how and implementing it, this is the first time I have used https, so there will be some fixes to be made across the website. Overall https should make using the website more secure. Don’t worry all buycraft payment details were always handed in https always, I moved the main website to https as Google are pushing people to do so.

Hopefully all urls should be forced to https now for piratecraft from domain level.

What is https and why did you move to it? Find out more by Click on this link to learn more about https

So now on your browser on most pages you will see a little green padlock that may say secure, it may look something like this;

Some pages don’t display the padlock:

• If its a main website page, like a guide page, please send me the link so i can fix any assets that aren’t loading via https, these could be legacy images hosted on imgur or something, same goes for if an image or a page is broken due to this change.
• If its a forum thread, its most likely someone that has embedded an image from imgur or has a signature image that isn’t linked to a https link, please make sure you are all using https links, you will break the https padlock icon on any pages you post with http images instead of https images, this wont break the security of https, as you will still be using it, it just means you have flagged that page as insecure because you have loaded an unsecured asset.

What is broken that I know of?

• I know the maps broken, I need to figure out how to make the map load from https, you cant have an iframe that’s http on a https, they seem to be blocked automatically, if anyone knows how I can do this please do reply. For now you can use this direct link http://mc.piratemc.com:8123/
• Stats will need fixing before it works again, this shouldn’t be a big job.
• Some images are not being displayed correctly that are hosted on piratecraft as they are stuck in some form of infinite redirect (I had to remove my signature!) Need to figure this out too.

Please do report any issues, there will be some that crop up as this is all new to me!

I also changed the Auth keys for Cookies and login details, so you may need to wipe your cache and cookies to log in

NOOOOOO THE ONLY WAY OF STALKING THE ONES THAT I LOVE IS GONE

These aren’t from piratecraft, but I figured that they can still fit into the screen shots thread 😉
