Proxy
Changed compression threshold to be lower, ideally this will compress more packets to send to your client to improve ping very slightly.

GodsDead 24/07/2025 21:28
Proxy
Updated main proxy server.
Created second proxy server separate from current one to test faster ping using a different network & to work as a backup in-case the main goes down.
Try it add test.piratemc.com
to your server list; see if your /ping
is improved. You are connected to a load balancer first nearest to you.
The test server has not moved, its still on the same server as the survival, the network changed for this.
I wanted a backup proxy that I can switch to if the main proxy goes down again, then all we need to wait for is DNS propagation.
๏ธ Removed test server from main proxy, you will not be able to use /server test
we cant have 2 proxies connect to the same server, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Test server has to be accessed via test.piratemc.com
and none of the cross-server chat will work, just while I test this other proxy/network.
Tell me if it improves
On Survival use /survey
and answer.
I will post a vote under this discord message for you to tell me if its an improvement, but I'm also doing an in-game /survey
please make sure you leave your feedback on this as I will be mostly checking that for feedback not the discord vote, that's just secondary as there's a ton of people that don't even play on the server that will vote negative.
Downsides is, its expensive. If you want it, I will have to make a rank dedicated to paying for it, currently testing the free version.

Survival
Removed $299,998.58 from the eco pool (I wiped my balance to 0)
The tax from shops goes to my account, Ive wiped it quite a few times, but never logged it, thought you might want to know when I clean out large sums of money out of the eco as this is a massive positive for keeping a healthy player run economy because money is generated out of thin air in multiple ways, we need ways to remove money out of the total eco that's on the server, this is something I do from time to time.
Did a lookup for the previous times Ive done this command as I was curious and there quite far apart, no idea what the bal was each time, just that I reset my bal.

Survival - Build of the month July 2025 Staff Vote & Community Vote
Created the 6 images for July 2025 BOTM and put them up at /warp botm
Given out the individual paintings to each entrant and put into your inventory @iMiki @JCardell @Olveron @PhilipG_ @TobySF @Vedel
This means you will be able to copy these and do as you wish with the paintings!
This takes me hours to make these images, It seems to have worked to get more people submitting builds to BOTM! Ive given @TobySF my PSD template but for whatever reason if he cant do it, if you fancy helping out and have photoshop or similar its just a bunch of rules in the size of paintings to resize images into, ping Toby if you want to help.
Created /survey
so you can leave you feedback for your favorite build!
This months will be a staff vote, but you can still vote for your favorite so we have a community vote via /survey
, this allows for me to compare a staff vote vs a community vote, next month will be an entirely community vote win again.
You have to manually run /survey
this time, we learnt from last time, if something pops up people will just click randomly or on the first option just to get rid of the screen, lots of people that voted couldn't be bothered to look at /warp botm
. So manually have to open the vote option from now on.
Community vote is now Cadet to prevent alts voting in a bias way, enabled on this community vote.
How do I enter build of the month?
You just fill out this form and select a day in the month you wish to enter for, so you can submit a build for in a few months time if you wanted.

Survival
Takes effect as of tomorrows reboot;
Updated Premium suite of essentials plugin 11 versions
@Helper Added option to add or subtract jail time from the player, usage would be something like /jail GodsDead +10m to add 10 minutes and /jail GodsDead -10m to take away 10 minutes. If player isn't jailed and you want to add +10 minutes then he will be placed into jail for that time, so its safe to use on players who are not currently jailed. Same thing for trying to lower jail time for player who are not jailed, this action will not have any effect.
Fix for cuffed players being able to go up on Y axis
Fix sit animation that could make you fall down 1 block sometimes
Fix odd issue with teleport to an offline player that sometimes put you in old location @Admin
Fixes the freeze command
Metric ton of small fixes
Updated Essentials plugin, I'm still trying to move things away from this, but it still has some handy tools, its not been updated in a while.
Removed Essentials Spawn plugin, we haven't used the spawn system in this for years.
Removed Vault plugin, that does all the cross plugin eco in favor of..
Added recompiled Vault plugin which has direct support for premium essentials plugin & economy, its the same plugin as before with added direct eco support.

Blocks some AFK bypass cheats
You can now manually /afk
its on a cooldown to prevent spam in the chat, @Helper you should bypass this cooldown.
@Contributor Captains now get kicked after 20 mins instead of 15, Keeping it low at present in-case we run into issues, can always increase later.
Reminder you can /afkcheck player

This AFK system has a LOT of options, most are disabled right now, but some include; running any commands at Auto/Manual/Leave AFK, dynamic kick times based off permission or players online, repeating kick system, disabled worlds, prevent being hooked while afk, item drop, pickup, prevent mob spawning, shulker tracking if you wanted to trial some changes to it.
