Your aim is now to get to a '''safe area''' and become '''self-sufficient'''.

What's that you say? You want to build a ship? We will get to that in a bit. First you need to find a safe place to produce food and store your valuables. If you fail to do this, you'll a) starve to death on your voyages and b) loose all your treasure if your ship sinks. Every clever pirate has a secure base of operations. | What's that you say?

Open your map and compare it with the following picture. I have marked the central landmasses red. You will notice that the live map version is bigger. This is because the world border has been expanded recently. The principle remains the same, however: Get as far away from the central area as you can! This is the area where people can teleport to easily, making it much more likely that you'll be attacked. The land is also heavily settled and claimed not to mention ravaged from years of mining and woodcutting. Land beyond the red border is much nicer. | Open your map and compare it with the following picture. I have marked the central landmasses red. You will notice that the live map version is bigger.

You'll be wanting to increase or decrease your X and Z coordinates over 5'000 blocks each. How you travel that distance is up to you. I recommend using your survival skills to stay alive and kill animals along the way for food. PirateCraft is set to hard mode - so be warned, people who play on normal! Use standard Minecraft boats as often as possible to prevent your saturation bar from draining. Consider choosing a destination from the live map before you begin your voyage. | You'll be wanting to increase or decrease your X and Z coordinates over 5'000 blocks each.

Make use of /sethome while you travel! Every pirate starts with one home of their choice that can be updated as often as they please. For example, type /sethome e to have a teleport location where you were standing when you typed the command. This can be done anywhere outside of another player's claim. Update your home regularly and you will not loose too much progress when you die. It's a long walk from spawn! | Make use of /sethome while you travel!

If you see someone heading your way, move away from them! Some pirates use the live map to hunt other players. The really annoying ones will drink invisibility potions to avoid being shown on the live map. There's nothing you can do about them at this point in time... But some day you will have your revenge. | ||
