This is a PvP Survival server and you will be killed at some point if you play long enough. Nobody is here to help you get started, we want to see what you are made of first. | ||
Staff members (shown in red, orange, and blue) are available to ensure players are following the rules; however, they will not return lost items, settle disputes, or provide other assistance. | |||
Do not cheat or run any client mods. Do not discuss or advertise another server or service. These actions will get you banned permanently. | |||
== How to get started == | |||
First visit our [http://map.piratemc.com live map] and get familiar with the world. Locate the various warps (cove, north, south, east, west) and find a place you want to call home. | |||
Start [https://minecraft.net/ minecraft], Click ''Multiplayer'' and click ''Add Server''; Server Name: PirateCraft, Server Address: '''mc.piratemc.com'''. After joining for the first time use ''/warp cove'' and look around, get familiar with this area as it’s the only area that does not allow PvP. Once you are ready to set out on your own use one of the ''/warp [direction]'' locations to get started. | |||
If you need food, type ''/kits'' to see what kits (kits contain tools etc) you have, every rank you get promoted to, you get a new kit. Do not beg for food or other items/services from players, you will only wind up being muted. | |||
== How do I make a base? == | |||
Once you have arrived where you want to build place your chest to claim that area. Then use the ''/sethome'' command so you will respawn there after dying. Be sure to put a non-siegeable block (like stone bricks) on top of your chest to prevent other players from stealing it’s contents. You can find out what blocks can be broken (aka “Soft blocks”) in a siege by using ''/info siege''. You will need a gold shovel to expand your claim so get to digging and read [[claims and siege]] for more information. | |||
== Crews, Ships, and Cannons == | |||
Start by surviving a few nights and making friends on the server. It usually takes a little while to get into a crew. Once people know your play style and that you are going to stick around you will get an invite. | |||
For information on building ships use /info ships or you can /warp ships to see some existing examples. Help on building and using cannons can be found by using /info cannons or /warp cannons to see some examples. | |||
In most cases these features require you to rank up. You can [http://stats.piratemc.com check your stats online] but don’t worry if they are a little out of date. Keep playing and you will rank up, do not worry if the reported stats seem a little off. If you would prefer you can /donate to skip some rank requirements. | |||
== Who can be trusted? == | |||
I would advise newcomers to avoid other players until they have gathered sufficient resources to survive. As Piratecraft is a PvP server, there will always be someone out to get you unless you're playing with a trusted friend. Avoid accepting teleport requests from people you do not trust. | |||
