This is nothing new, we actually started PirateCraft over 5 years ago without teleportation and we didn’t grow, its only after enabling it we got a community.

This has litearlyl been disguised to death so I see no reason to repeat myself for the 200th time.

Nothing in here is new, nothing in here hasn’t been though of, we have actually already run as suggested.

The conclusion I came up with will be a second additional server, a whole second survival, as there is so much needed to make this work it would be impossible without starting from scratch.

The second option, which im planning to trial first will be a simple additional extra world (I Stress, this isn’t a trick answer, this means the current wold STAYS NOT A RESET!!) Very important you understand what the word “additional” means, it means its an extra world. Is created with its own permissions, I have maybe trialed 3-4 different types of world variants for this and the idea has matured and changed over the years, it will boil down to:.

Nothing has started as there are so many moving parts and things to do, its never been a good time to drop everything and do it.

Basic overview for those that haven’t read my 1000’s of replies about this topic already.

1. A second additional overworld for this survival server based on islands (NOT STARTED)
2. As its custom generation, I want custom structures to generate with custom items (NOT STARTED)
3. As it will be on this server that world will need its own permissions (NOT STARTED)
4. As it will be on this server, it will need its own re-spawn on death events (IS BROKEN DOES NOT WORK)
5. It will need its own inventory/Echest (Working)
6. Automate resetting the world every X amount of months (Working)

The basis for the “locker” world I already have is to trial and test these features that need to get working, the biggest issue at present is the death event is broken and will just send you back to your bed spawn, I cannot overcome this at present.

A team will be required for point 2, READ the existing forum threads as a build team application is out there, and we have nobody to fill it.

its a process, and it has to be done in order.

@Bluebeardman

It’s unlikely that we will be seeing a shift towards an airship based server – it has been a ship-based server for over 5 years now. However we have toyed around with the idea of having an airship, but the issue came with that it doesn’t get along with our claims plugin, meaning that someone could get into an airship and steal a house, roof, or the blocks on top of chests; as long as the blocks are allowed. I can’t see them added in the near future, but we might toy around with having them at an event – its how we test a lot of things on here; set up a fun event, if it works we keep it, if it doesn’t it gets thrown overboard.

Concerning the ship battles: funny that you mention them being absent. We do host official battles once every few weeks at a dedicated arena – lots of fun, very competitive, managed by myself so we don’t have to rely on some stupid plugin. I’m currently away from my PC (moved into uni couple of days ago), so don’t expect an ‘official’ battle for a few weeks. A few players have organized battles in the past as a fun event, so do keep your eyes peeled.

In short: ship battles do occur, but are run by staff. Player led battles are rare, but also happen.

————————————————————————————–

Concerning the tp’s, sethomes, warps, etc:

This has been one of the most debated topics over the years (that’s a good thing). Countless posts have been made, countless posts have been ‘sorted out’ by Godsy. Gonna take my prerogative here and let this post stay OPEN for suggestions and debate, as long as it’s kept civil.

So yeah, teleportation. In concept, it’s not too fun on a ship-based server. My personal view on the matter aligns similarly to @MinisterMooSelf – that being remove teleports, elytras, depth strider, etc.

BUT (and this is a big but)

We aim, as a server, to appeal to as many people as possible, and try to help them get going on here. We are here to keep it fun and engaging, but at the same time keeping the server sustainable in terms of expenses. Removing teleports altogether is a very radical approach, and may put off a lot of people. Picture this: a friend of yours who has been playing for several weeks invites you online, but he lives miles away, so you have to make your way over to him, which could take hours and hours. Not exactly something I’d want to do when I join a server – I want to get to places, and to people.

The same thing applies to disable certain features concerning elytras and/or depth strider – we lose appeal. I hate elytras for a passion on here – gets people to places stupidly fast. But oh well, not my server, and not many remain. Depth strider – amazing for builders, a bane to captains. You could argue the same thing for the regular vanilla boat – it shouldn’t go that fast. A lot of these features to ‘disable’ a particular feature will require separate plugins – we have so many as it is, and we’re trying to cut back on unnecessary ones.

In short: teleports will probably stay, as will most other features. We don’t want endless plugins to regulate (and update). There are other methods of achieving what you’re after.

—————————————————————————————–

Something that we could do is add a ‘tp-tax’. Godsy has always been keen on removing money from the economy (I’ll make a post about it later – the economy is NOT broken).

I’m not the first to suggest this idea – its been suggested years earlier. But times change, and we have thrown around the idea a few times in the recent months. As with most of these things; they will need to be trialed, run past a staff vote, and feedback taken into account. We WILL keep players updated on this if something does arise – expect a discord announcement.

From a personal standpoint, I think a lot of us on here know what you feel like haha – we all want a ship server with people sailing. Sadly, there is a limit to what a vanilla server can handle at the end of the day, hell even the game itself. The sad truth is that a purpose-made game will almost always be better suited than a minecraft server (we don’t talk about Sea of Thieves).

———————————————————————————

As has been suggested above, the server allows you to play to how you want. Want to minimize teleportation and sail? Go for it, you’re not alone – @emielreijs and myself are both enthusiastic sailors and go all over the place in search of nice ships. People that teleport everywhere and never use ships? F*** em, you do you buddy. Make it your own little world.

Your unlikely going to be unbanned.

You were banned in 2017 for=

1. Gaming stats

2. Using a hacked client

-Would’ve probably had to have waited at tops a year maybe i don’t know. You might’ve been unbanned by now.

3. You tried logging back in with another account, called “Dixienormuss” which got banned. A day after you posted this.

This is a case of being inpatience and so your not going to be unbanned anytime soon. thanks.

I will go through why this wont occur on the main server world right now.

1. TPA, /homes, etc is vital to its gameplay right now, a large part of the player base would be lost
2. Right so you die, where do you respawn? At the spawn point? You sail from there? It doesn’t take a deckhand to figure out you could just camp the area around spawn and catch people leaving it. Yeah its a pirate server, but this would be detrimental to game play. “But you can have multiple warps, spawns etc” well you just defeated the entire point of a no tp, warp etc world.
3. Nothing is stopping your from NOT using ships. Perhaps if you were one of the few (pretty much non-existant) people on the server who use only movecraft ships, you’d be in a place to debate this, but your not. Your a new player who needs to learn the server and how it operates. Everyone has these ideas, but it is detrimental to the server as of right now unless if someone can create a better, widely accepted, alternative.

There is a server in the works for this.

Its going to be mainly sea (probably) with spaced major landmasses and dotted with islands, with no tp and probably limited set homes and with an emphasis to use the movecraft ships.

I know this isn’t much to do with the application- BUT.

On the creative server, people can build pretty much what they want in their plot of land, I also know that certain builds in the World are lacking or are in the need of “pzazz”.

I thought maybe it could be a good idea if people were to build buildings, ornamental builds etc to be placed in public areas, warp events etc.

Those used could lead to said player getting a small cash reward (like £20-50) as though they’ve been paid ‘royalties’ towards it. Those player’s who’ve had their builds used could be put in a draw also for a prize of some sorts (though it would need quite a few people).

These builds could also be randomly spawned in the over world, or placed there by staff, as sort of “Easter Eggs”. I could imagine an assortment of statues, sunken ships, ruins and what not being spawned on the sea bed to as a sort of curiosities, which I’m sure people would enjoy recovering and reassembling in their claims or for use in public/private museums/collections.

Perhaps things as strange as my Dylan the Scorpion BOTM be world-edited in random places, I know I for one would feel complimented if I saw a small build of mine used in some sort of event like the Halloween event so I’m sure others would too, and random little builds in the middle of no where which invite curiosity or a smile to a player travelling in through the world would be a great addition to the server.

Things like random pumpkin farms or giant pumpkins made out of pumpkins in the middle of nowhere for Halloween or a Christmas Tree farms, snowmen popping up for Christmas would be interesting too- of course if they’re claimed by a player don’t remove them, if they’re not do.

Perhaps not stupidly large builds start appearing, like entire Indiamans or Forts which span 10 chunks. But I think it could definitely invite more interest, especially with the underwater update hopefully coming soon to the server, then underwater landscape/curiosities to be built would provide a further incentive for underwater exploration.

I know I for one right now am not cut out for a position on the build team, but I wouldn’t mind building small curiosities like statues, houses, small forts, block creatures, strange looking trees etc. Pretty much anything, and small little jokes/messages could be hidden as well in them like signs with a quote or joke.

Anyway, I’ll stop talking now and start building my randomonium.

Awsome!

This sounds amazing Godsy! My favorite part about this would be the new penalty system, collecting sand to get out of the penalty world, Davy Jones Locker.

Just think about it, lakesidekiller pisses off an admin like Net, and all net would have to do is just, /deport lakesidekiller and bam they stop existing in the normal worlds and are sent to The penalty world.
