people could just set up cannons at others base, no need for ships at all this doesn’t fix the fact that ships are not efficient to use

Maybe diamonds can be used to destroy hard blocks, but one diamond only destroys like one block. Or maybe using wither heads as “heavy cannon balls” if the diamonds are too cheap of a resource for such a large gain of destroying hard blocks. This could make sieges possible on the toughest of bases, but is the wealth spent worth the reward ;D

This was once the case, that diamonds could be used as ammo to destroy anything, including obsidian. The walls of Port Royal are reinforced with obsidian, just to make them stronger 😛

It got disabled for a reason, but stone bricks are far to easy to mass produce. Anyone can build a stonebrick hut, and from that point on it makes you invulnerable, and it means new players arr the only ones you can really raid.

Maybe stonebricks can be broken by cannonballs (cobblestone), logs by buckshot, and something else by clusterbomb, so you have to be equipped with different weapons per raid. If you made it so the hard blocks regenerated, that would be cool too 😛

Hana there have been lots of posts like this, answer is always no.

Doesn’t that already happen BurningEyes?

Allowing hard blocks to be destroyed would make it so that the more powerful pirate crews would dominate over all the weaker ones and make ships even more impracticable and make this wonderful server become another one of those faction servers. Everyone would start building giant ugly bases and the community that plays mainly to build would leave. The small amount of new players that read the instructions would build a base and then get easily raided then rebuild a base and then get raided till they quit because allowing breakable blocks doesn’t change the fact that newbie bases are easier to raid. Also one of the main reasons that no one uses ships is because they are slower than vanilla boats and that makes them vulnerable to being hijacked or blown up and allowing harder blocks to be broken would make protecting ships even harder. Now some of you say that there new players could just join crews but all the crews that accept the majority of people would no longer exist. Most pirate crews only accept people who are good at pvp and wouldn’t accept the majoriy of these people and they would leave. Now I guess a possible increase in pirates from this decision might happen and make this server a bit more pirateish, but then again there wouldn’t be any countries, beautiful cities, and ships left so I don’t think there would be much pirate theme or piratecraft community left…

P.S: I don’t think making the more expensive blocks break proof helps new people because it usually takes expensive tools to obtain that expensive stuff, stuff that raiders would likely take when they raid their not yet siege proof base. And also requiring expensive items to breaks blocks doesn’t change the fact that the people who are at the top are filthy rich with expensive items…
