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
Ironically enough, this page is flagged as insecure for me!
Yeah it was my signature haha, Updated it to https.

NOOOOOO THE ONLY WAY OF STALKING THE ONES THAT I LOVE IS GONE
Ironic
I have quite a bit of experience with this stuff. Did you get a certificate for the map subdomain? Each subdomain needs its own certificate, or you need a wildcard certificate. For only 2-3 subdomains, it’s much cheaper to get individual certificates than a wildcard. As for image redirects, did you run a search/replace on the database? Feel free to skype me or something, I’m happy to help.
All of this was sorted, but I would love to talk to you about embedding a http iframe into a https page, I cant seen to find any way around it. 🙂
go away, odi.
What how was this mean to you, it was a simple joke and if it wasn’t funny to you don’t comment about it, Im sorry I have to react this way but I’m sick of you walking all over people and telling them what to do. It was just a joke Cysteen, no need to tell me to leave.
leave odi
Lucky you will be missed 🙁
When it was broken, it worked when I put it in full screen mode.
Yes, I did this. Its just a redirect to the workaround URL I put above.
