    As the map becomes more widely explored. It will cover geography, politics, events and history on the server. We also hope to organise and plot the astoundingly varied geography and political geography of the server, and implement acceptable universal classifications on the server, which are not already in place. We hope to release 'articles' about the server, covering distinct topics in each one, whenever they're ready we'll release one, please do write your own as well and private message them to Palmerageddon or TheAgentGamer, where we will try to fit them in. We will also work at moving said information into the wiki where it can be accessed in game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We welcome all to contribute to the efforts, great or small and to discuss openly.

    For the last few days, me and @palmerageddon have been discussing over DMs on discord about making a map of PirateCraft containing all oceans, seas, their names, and canals connecting them.  Attached is the map I made from compiling everything me and Palmer discussed, as well as information I found through the wiki.

    There are 2 major seas that still need naming, and thats what I have partly made this forum thread for, to try and find good names for some of these regions not yet named.  Also, if anybody suggests idea for the changing of certain sea names thats fine, however I probably won’t be changing the names of the 3 major oceans, just the outlying seas.

    After this, one thing I was also thinking about was dividing up the 3 major oceans into various connecting seas, as I have found on the wiki that some people have named certain sections of the major oceans as various seas.  I may do that on smaller maps containing just an ocean, with all the seas making up the ocean.

    When finished, ill put this on the wiki, probably as a Image Map where you can click on each sea or ocean and go to the page describing it.

     

    Basically, I want feedback, and help with some naming.

    Map Key: Darker Areas = Oceans; Lighter Areas = Seas; Grey Lines = Canals

    I did read that entire proposal. Sorry to burst your bubble, but nothing in it is particularly a new “idea”, we have discussed, tested and trialled multiple options for a better “war” system. We have also published everything publicly, so I will be repeating our findings on our few years of playing.

    At the most basic level, its not technically possible with what we have now. To implement a factions system, there are 2 options; replace both Claims system and Crew system with a plugin that does both things (Very poorly) that also has some form of war system, or someone (Not me) will have to program a custom plugin to work with our existing plugins.

    I sent a rather detailed request to Silence a very long time ago based around a better type of Siege which also implemented crews and crew claims, but I think he lost interest in minecraft all together.

    This proposal is a weaker version of an already exiting idea, that we cannot implement with out custom programming, loosely slapped together random ideas.

    I could break it down section by section and give tell you my “solution” (There really isn’t a problem in the first place, you are just bored with what we have currently) but there’s no point me going over it all as it wouldn’t be possible anyway without drastic change to the entire servers core structure.

    Another idea I have already proposed many, many, many times is a second survival server, with everything in one place, the Wars the No teleport the no map, its nothing new. This type of land factions has always been planned as an alternative to this version of survival but as its own separate survival, I just do not have time to drop PirateCraft to create a second survival server, which would be the proper way to implement everything like this along with all the other major designs people think they want.

    TLDR: Learn Java and talk to me about creating a custom plugin.

    Please don’t argue via forums. You can do that amongst yourselves, and the whole PirateCraft community does not need to know.

    “The economy is broken”, “Everything is too cheap”, “X is ruining the eco”

    We’ve had these messages for years now, I made two posts about the economy last year, not gonna go too in-depth this time – not got the time. But… I will clear up a few things for you… because the economy is *spoiler alert* not broken. 

    Gonna be using Bread, Apples, and Gold as examples.

    ——————————————————————————-

    Explaining Inflation/Deflation

    Every item and thing has a value, and it is largely determined by:

    1. How much there is
    2. How easy it is to get

    So for bread: it’s easy for anyone to make, and there is a lot of it; so its value is very low. 
    And for gold: it can be hard to find, and there isn’t too much of it; to its value is high.

    The same thing applies to any currency; whether its £ pounds, $ dollars, or in-game money. We will ignore how easy it is to get money and focus instead on how much there is.

    A common thing people ask in the real world is “well why can’t I just print more money” – but that would make the money more common, and decrease its value. In the short term you’ll be able to buy lots of stuff but as more and more of that money goes into the economy, it becomes worthless. Vice-versa, the less money you have in the economy, every $ is worth more. Its ‘purchasing power’ has increased.

    [A different way of thinking about it is to picture a pie: you want to buy some bread, and in return, you have to give 10% of your pie. So you make a bigger pie, but you will also end up paying more. The real value of the apple hasn’t changed, but because you made more pie, it means you will have to pay more. In the real world, everything you buy is a small percentage of the overall money in the economy. ]

    This concept very much applies to piratecraft

    ——————————————————————————————-

    Falling Prices

    What PMC is experiencing right now is deflation – the value of every $ is now higher, so less $ is needed to buy something – which gives the illusion that prices are falling. So while you lot are complaining about prices falling, it’s actually the value of our currency increasing! And no, I didn’t pull that out of my ass – there are reasons.

    Back in 2015-2016, loads of people joined, and money came in. More money in the economy means its worth less, so the prices of everything increases. Among other things, its why things seemed so much more expensive in the past. From 2017 onward (after I made those posts), Gods has tried to remove money from the economy again because several players were now at max /bal. We did this by selling elytras, renting shops, and shulker boxes.

    $100 now is worth almost twice as much as it did 2-3 years ago, and its value is increasing every day.

    ———————————————————————————————-

    Recent Events

    Recent events over the past few weeks and months have affected the economy. I’m speaking of the few people who spawned in money and items, totaling over $3,000,000, out of a total of ~$10,000,000 in the economy currently. That’s a lot of ‘printed’ money.

    The people involved in this were often willing to pay more for items, and as such their value seemed to increase, somewhat offsetting the effects of deflation.

    What we (as staff) have done to combat this is to remove as much of the spawned in money as we could by confiscating bought items, and wiping the /bal of a few people. So in theory, we should be back to ~$7,000,000 before this money issue.

    In short: expect prices to keep falling again, but their value has not changed.

    ———————————————————————————————-

    The pros and cons of Deflation

    Positives:

    • The value of your money is constantly increasing
    • Favors deckhands and people with not much money
    • More buyers, fewer sellers – which is what we need right now (we’ve always had too many sellers)

    Negatives:

    • The rich are getting richer
    • People think the value of things is falling – it’s usually not
    • Undercutting can be more extreme

    —————————————————————————————–

    In short

    Prices may be falling, but the value of everything is increasing. Great for buyers, bad for people looking to buy claimblocks. The economy is more active than ever (record number of rented shops and transactions), it’s all fine, go make some money.

    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.

    Added to videos page https://piratemc.com/videos/

    I wanted to test out how much time it would take to make a build of the month winners video in a cinematic way, this is all learning on the day of shooting to get these results, I’m extremely happy with how it came out, if I were to get the time to make another, I would change a few things, speed of pans, disable chat completely, make sure I’m in gm3 to not bump into things. But as a proof of concept I’m extremely happy with how it came out for a first attempt.

    The time required is exorbitant for recording & editing, so this will not be something I can do regularly on top of everything else, I do hope you like it.

    I didn’t put winners in order and I didn’t label the winning builds, that will be separate from the video, the purpose of the video is to showcase these builds only.

    We annoying ended up with 6 winners, 2 Tied for first place, 2 for second place and 2 for third place, which made the video double the work to create and finish! This thread is only for the video content and not about the BOTM competition itself, that will have its own separate thread.

    -This is more of a direct response to Palmerageddon-

    Now Palmer, I can agree that there is some issues with trying to create changes like this while not having much experience on the server.  And there are a few issues to note with the change.  But overall the issues you try to attack I think self-solve themselves fairly easily.

    With the issue that you discussed in point 1, the guy who started this thread wasn’t very clear as to what to be removed specifically, so I can see why your concerned that he may be saying to remove all types of hyper-fast transportation (i.e. teleportation, warps, homes).  However, the ideas discussed afterwards cleared this up as people who replied after stated to just delete tps, keep homes, and ill just assume they also want to keep a few of the warps.  This should clear up the issues you discussed in your first statement.

    Onto the second point, I think part of my response just above about point 1 cleared this up, as where they die will be their home(s).  As for destroying the point of a place that increases ship usage, this wouldn’t remove the entire purpose of it.  Because if there was lets say a couple warps around spawn, and then everyone got like 1-2-3 homes depending on rank, even if you used all 3 homes you couldn’t get to everywhere on the map effectively and without tp you’d have to use elytras, get a horse, or get a boat, to get to other areas.

    Finally, on the last point, I will agree with you on that a lot.  There are people who still use ships from time to time and the person who started this thread could of just sailed around and used his ships more.  Ships are still used on PirateCraft from time to time, and there is of course the official ship battles which take place from time to time.  So yes, he probably could just do that.

    You may speak the truth, but one of the main reasons that I chose to follow Reptaria is because she offered something which few other crews did: An officially fantasy-roleplaying crew, where there was a purely different feeling. We created our own history, our own laws, and actually felt like a nation, not a loose amalgamation of players with no real goals or ideals.

    Great reply, a lot of people didn’t get the role play aspect, I hope you are able to bring this back to PirateCraft.

    It’s been one year since your ban, I will grant you another chance, LAST chance since nothing besides that ban shows up on your punishment checker, don’t mess it up again.

    This is awesome XD enable PvP in there too so that the people need to work together or they are getting nowhere.

    Also, maybe make some smol sand crabs. Idk, just like the movies (heh). And maybe, if this project keeps going and being updated, a Black Pearl that brings you back to piratecraft cove.

    😀

    A Storm is Brewing… For The Queen shall return…

    Yes that Queen… One of the most famous players in all of PirateCraft decided to quit this great server, and sail away to their next Great Empire.. I’m talking about The Elven Queen Reptaria. The legacy shall continue as once foretold..

    These private messages are exact quotes from The Queen that were recieved during conversation with me today.

    “If you really want me to return you will do exactly what I’m about to ask you. Spread the word to the elves, to your friends far and near. If they want the queen to return they will support my rise. Restore order to the world, and most of all, to re- establish one of the most powerful empires in history.”

    “I need solid proof that I will have help enough to rise up or I will not come back.”

    “A new era just may come, and the queen, may be closer than you think.”

    “Very well. Spread the word, ‘A storm is brewing’”

    “When I return, I will build up slowly with my allies. Plan, and act. The world has fallen into chaos, now it’s time for the true queen to fix it. As this was foretold long ago, the prince of princess that was promised will bring the dawn.

    And I will take what is mine , with one thing my family has held true to since the beginning of our reign. Fire and blood.”

    “Will take time. To prepare, but when it’s time. The empires will strike back and reclaim the land that was rightfully theirs. Restoring order to our waters and world once more. I need more supporters. I need armor, land, more. Search.”

    LONG LIVE THE GREAT QUEEN REPTARIA FOR SHE HAS RETURNED!!!!

    We need builders and people with ideas for what to do with /warp shop7 (Brand new warp) I completely tore down what was here before so we can start from scratch on a new street of shops.

    Used to be where the orange shops were, blank canvas. we can completely re-do all the terrain around it too. All ideas welcome.

    I wouldn’t call it taking sides, im just pointing out how you are incredubly toxic and use a large amount of Derogatory terms on Piratecraft, you have a total of 4  bans, 11 mutes with 8 related to toxicity and then 10 warnings (6 for racist comments). If anything im amazed you have not been banned yet or even just realised that how you act is so wrong.

    He is an utter moron who got upset so he did the most childish thing imaginable.

    yeh your on here first of all posting a video of 1v1ing orange randomly just because he reported you in a block game, then trying to say i suck at 1.12 because i agreed that you have broken a large amount of the server rules. not to mention calling orange a “Retard” and other rude remarks in game over said report

    Edit: Orange didnt do anything childish in all honesty, he saw you broke a rule so he followed exactly what the server and anyone would say to do and report it on the forums
