A. You can build the starter ship [[ships|dhow]] from [[ranks|deckhand]] rank.

 

 

<br /><br />Q. What [[ranks|rank]] do I have to be to build [[cannons]]?<br />A. You can build and fire [[cannons|rusty cannons]] from [[ranks|cadet]] rank, and [[cannons|carronade cannons]], [[cannons|iron cannons]] and [[cannons|mortars]] from [[ranks|gunner]] rank.<br /><br />Q. How can I [[Claims And Siege|claim]] my house? <br />A. A Golden Spade is used to create and resize claims to protect your home. You can either go mining to make your own or buy one from another player or shops. However, your chests aren’t safe from raiders, so place a stone brick block over it! <br /><br />Q. How do I sail a [[Ships|ship]]?<br />A. To pilot your [[ships|ship]], or steal another, right click the [[ships]] control sign (ex: dhow), and you will be greeted with a message saying you have successfully piloted the [[ships|ship]]. To move, you can either use the Cruise sign, or right click in the direction you want to move with your Golden Hoe, Your ship will start to move in that direction unless you are being obstructed by land, ships, or docks. To rotate your [[ships|ship]], you will need a sign on your [[ships|ship]] with the line [helm] on board, This will turn into a wheel once activated by right clicking. To rotate right click the sign with a empty hand to rotate clockwise and left click with an empty hand to rotate counterclockwise, this will cause your whole [[ships|ship]] to rotate. To release your [[ships|ship]] you have to use the command /release in chat, or create a [release] sign on the [[ships|ship]], Or you could just leave your [[ships|ship]] and wait for the 30 second timer to end. Alternatively, if you fall off and can't get back in, simply type /manoverboard to be placed back on your [[ships|ship]].<br /><br />Q. How do I play PirateCraft? <br />A. This is a pirate themed Minecraft server, not a minigame. You play like you would on a normal server, with the addition of several plugins. Most notably, the [[ships]] and [[cannons]] plugins. <br /><br />Q. I have a problem that requires help from staff members! <br />A. Please make a support ticket, http://piratemc.com/forums/server-support/support-tickets/. Please appreciate that staff have lives and are very busy, so they may not get back to you straight away. One support ticket is plenty enough!<br /><br />Q. How do I leave spawn and find a home? <br />A. You can leave spawn by doing the /warp command. Through most warps you will be able to walk a ways and find a home. The warps North, South, East, and West are the best. There is then at the end of each warp a random teleport sign. You can also do /map and follow the link that appears to find a spot that suits your needs. There is also /wild. Alternatively, you can use the [[Live Map]] to find somewhere to settle. <br /><br />Q. I am a deckhand and I want to join a crew! <br />A. This server has a [[ranks]] system, and as the starter rank it is usually quite difficult for a [[ranks|deckhand]] to find a [[crew]]. It is recommended that you at least reach the sailor [[ranks|rank]] and show that you intend to stay with this server instead of expecting to start playing with a [[crew]] immediately. <br /><br />Q. I cannot swim and things are glitching for me! <br />A. Make sure you are playing on 1.12.2, as the server is not ready for 1.13 yet. We recommend you stay on this version until all the plugins are ready and perfected for the public and it officially updates. You can track the progress on updating in the [https://discord.piratemc.com discord server]. <br /><br />Q. How do I get money? <br />A. A new player starts off with £25 in server [[Money & Economy|cash]], however this quickly dwindles. For a new player to make money who does not have much in the way of resources, the options are to [[vote]], which has a chance of giving [[Money & Economy|cash]] sums as prizes as well as other resources or the player can gather resources that can be sold in sell [[shops]]. One example is the sell sign at [[The Cove|/warp cove]] that enables a player to sell a stack of logs for £6. /info eco provides a brief guide on certain methods of making money. <br /><br />Q. Oh no! Somebody killed me and stole everything I own. <br />A. It happens to everyone. This is a pvp server so this is all allowed. If you want to be able to build a safe base then you need to understand [[Claims And Siege| how claims work]]. Remember each rank has a set of [[Kits|/kits]] for armor/tools.<br /><br /><br /><br />'''Q. My account got hacked can I get XYZ moved to this new account I have? <br />A.
