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!

===Where do I get my [[Ships|ship]] ?===
Well, this is Minecraft, you can simply build your own ship using wood and wool (and other materials depending on ship type). We have a great [https://piratemc.com/guides/ships/ guide] with all ship types on our main website. Alternately you can also purchase a ready-made ship at [https://map.piratemc.com/?worldname=PirateCraft /warp ships]. One rents a dock and has 30 min to set sails and head out to sea. Then dock will then reset. Make sure to clear the spot. A third option can be to simply steal a ship from another unsuspecting seafarer. It's called PirateCraft for a reason !

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 />

===How do I play PirateCraft?===
===How do I play PirateCraft?===
This is a pirate themed survival 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. You don't need to have any plugins or mods installed yourself. In fact -per rules- playing is allowed only with either Vanilla or Optifine.

Also can leave spawn by using 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 (for Deckhands only[[https://wiki.piratemc.com/Ranks#Deckhand|Deckhands]]). Alternatively, you can use the [[Live Map]] to find somewhere to settle.

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.
