Next Battle:

Doing a mini fleet battle next week Saturday 8th September at 8:00pm GMT – same time as usual. The basis of that battle is that any team can have up to 5 ships competing (rather than 1 per team). Its just for some fun, and will be a little more chaotic 🙂

More info will follow shortly, gunpowder and projectiles will be provided. Ships used for this battle can be used again, but please bring any additional ships you want to use. Ty

Points:

1st place Scuabtuinne and Shrek’s Hand get 30 points, 3rd place Berlusconi get 10. Full points table is in group description above.

These points will be handed out to the ships, not the crews. So if you want your ship to get lots of points, be sure to use it again or modify it. You may re-name your ship, but I encourage you to stick with a name to avoid confusion.

Results!

First battle in the new arena (now named Battle Bay) – and it worked almost perfectly… aside from that server crash at the end… oh well. The battle was split up into two lots of 20 minutes of fighting, with 10 minute breaks after each one. This was followed by a roughly 15 minute ‘sudden-death’ at the end (the server crashed during this period, so it went a bit messy with some ships having chunks missing). Surprisingly high turnout last night, counted 61 players online and at least 32 people on my /near – probably more. We had 5 ships and a submarine taking part. Thanks to Nahadoth and Moossolini for helping me moderate, and creeprr for recording the battle.

———————————————————————————————————-

Next Battle:

Happening in 2 weeks time on a saturday evening at 8:00pm GMT (3pm EST). 2nd or 3rd of September i think.

• Double cannons will not be allowed (sorry)
• Ships only for that battle – testing designs, I’ll follow it up with a normal battle afterwards
• I should be able to spawn in ships for people by then, arena should be claimed, and server ship shop at the warp

Points:

Gonna be using a points system for people who finished in top 3; 3rd gets 10 points, 2nd gets 20, 1st gets 30.

These points will be handed out to the ships, not the crews. So if you want your ship to get lots of points, be sure to use it again or modify it. The points will be in the group description, and previous battles results will not be included.

So I’ve been using Torkey’s texture pack recently and the horse armor is a flintlock, musket, and a shotgun maybe, idk what the last one is supposed to be. But, we could install a gun plugin and they could become functional weapons. The Flintlock could shoot iron ingots, each shot would do 2 hearts of damage, it would also take 5 seconds to reload. The Musket could shoot gold ingots doing 5 hearts of damage each hit, but it would take 20 seconds to reload, it also would have a right click zoom function. Now, the shotgun would be able to fire pumpkin seeds, giving a dragons breath effect to the player if hit from a distance. All guns would be loaded with gunpowder as well. I’ll be adding more to this post soon…

Edit:

so after rethinking the amount of damage, I think they need a nerf. Musket: 3 damage per hit, 30 second reload time. Flintlock 1 heart per hit, 10 second reload time. Shotgun still has a dragon breath effect when shot.

Now to obtain these weapons… They could be bought at cove, 200 for flintlock, 500 for shotgun, and 700 for  musket. Also all players would have a one time use kit called /kit flintlock. All ammo could be purchased at cove too. Or made, I think a special name for ammo would be needed, when it would be renamed, the ammo wouldn’t be able to be stacked so it wouldn’t be too over powered. These are just some ideas.

Briefly looked at the discord suggestions channel, Torkey suggested extremely specific rules for specific questions.

I have already setup a system specifically for this, official page is https://piratemc.com/information/rules/

At the bottom is a Wiki page https://wiki.piratemc.com/Rules

I suggest we go with Torkey’s suggestion by populating the Wiki page, anyone can help write extremely specific rules, and we can copy them over to the main rules page if they are written well and are accepted by staff, if you don’t know the answer, you could always leave the question in here or on the Wiki page for someone else to edit.

Most of the time its general common sense, and I have yet to find any of the current rules that cant cover a question/rule I have been asked.

There are so many variables to minecraft it would be impossible to cover everything in detail. But maybe we haven’t covered a certain area you think needs to be added to the rules.

Last time I did this forum thread, everyone’s suggestions just ended up being categorised under what we have already, so actually take 10 second to re-read the rules before posting. Consider if we could extend an existing rule first.

There is a solid gold reason we do not have solidified static punishments based on certain rule breaking, each instance differs, say for example;

Someone X-rays, well that’s 6 months right? Well what about if they are a long term player that just slipped up once? What about if they are a brand new player? There are always many variables to consider and there usually cant be a blanket 1 for all, as people are assholes and they will argue against what is written or how they are punished, so its SUPPOSE to be open ended to staff interpretation.

“But it says XYZ on the rules list so I shouldn’t be punished, I think you should do this..” Errr No buddy, I am not having this.

We will soon be adding a whole different type of punishment system to the server for trial as a different way to handle some people. 🙂

I started working on this pack a couple weeks ago and over the past while started to get very demotivated to work on it as i couldnt come up with idea’s for the pack and progress started getting really slow. I thought i’d put this up on the forums as nearly a “PMC pack V1” to let yous see what its like so far and to give suggestions below on what i should do with it.

So this pack is a 64×64 pack although some items that i have taken from other packs i’ve made in the past are 16×16 as i normally make pvp related packs, Aswell as the server’s Custom items will be in 128×128 to add in more detail and make them that bit more special.

Im not good at forum posts so im just going to make a bullet point list on what i have done on the pack and what i have plans to do on it next.

What has been done on the pack:

• All swords have been fully redrawn by me from scratch to make them into a pirate cutlass, i started off drawing the diamond sword and then just changed the blade colour to make the others.
• Fully redrew the Ender Pearls to make them into a “Black Pearl” and put the pmc logo inside it.
• Fully redrew both Drinkable potions and Splash Potions to be more piraty and look like Rum bottles (splash varients have a handle on the side, was going for a moonshine style bottle but couldnt make it rounder as the potion overlay had to be the same for both splash and drinkable)
• Swapped out the Bow texture for a flintlock texture (i took this design from another pack but i have redrawn it in 64×64 instead of 16×16 as i have plans to make a custom one in the future)
• Made it so when you have a Power V bow the bow texture changes from a flintlock to a Musket as this is i think a more powerful gun (musket was fully drawn by me)
• Fully redrew arrows to make them look like bullets to match the guns
• Drew textures for both XP Tokens and Doubloons, these textures only apply to these custom items and both gold ingots and gold nuggets stay the same. (Doubloons are drawn the same as the Doubloons from the Pirates of the Caribbean Movie)

What i have Plans to do in the future:

• Draw my own custom Flintlock so as the pack is fully drawn by me
• Draw Custom tools so they are more piraty
• Draw Custom Golden apples and apples so they are different then the ones i use for my pvp packs
• Draw Custom textures for all of the ingots/ores like gold, iron, diamonds (diamonds are from my pvp packs)
• Draw Custom Particles for the pack so it isent the same as my pvp packs

These are just some of the ideas i have for this pack and i’d love to get some suggestions on what to add next, i will more then likly keep this post as a Change Log type post for updates on the pack and new download links for the newer versions.
