Survival - Some more cove cleanup
Removed the two existing Nether portals at /warp cove the one top left was made when I freshly regenerated for showing it was fresh, the top right was the original OG nether portal area, both removed.
Added World portals area where the old Vote room was with heads at /warp cove, Opened it up a lot and closed off the second floor passage.
Feel less cluttered now when you walk out from /warp cove without that nether portal being the first thing you see.

PirateSiege – Public Testing Round 2! 
️
test.piratemc.com / /server test
Ahoy, crew! I’ve taken over development of PirateSiege, but I’m new to Java & plugin dev, so bear with me as I work through everything.
The latest changelog is posted above 
️ – read it first and please mark 
so we can track who's reading changelogs!
This round of testing is focused on things I can’t test alone, so I need as many of you as possible to jump in and help!
What Needs Testing?
️ Secondary Attackers/Defenders – Make sure team tracking works properly.
Switching Teams – Test all limits & edge cases /switchteam.
️ Multiple Sieges at Once – See if anything breaks when sieges overlap.
Moving Between Claims – Test moving in/out of sieged claims & check if anything bugs out.
⏳ Siege Cooldowns – Make sure spam sieging isn’t possible. (No siege bullying!)
Entity Breaking & Protection – This wasn’t fully tested last time, so break everything you think shouldn’t break.
General Exploit Testing – Try to abuse the system & find loopholes.
How to Report Issues
If you find bugs, exploits, or weird stuff, let me know in #🏰│siege_dev with as much detail as possible. Screenshots & steps to reproduce help a ton!
️ Remember: I’m still learning Java & plugins, so fixes might take time. Be patient & constructive! 
Thanks to everyone testing – you’re helping make this a better, fairer siege system! 
️

Updated Premium essentials & dependency.
Lots of bug fixes & a fix for an @Admin tool that Ive pinged you with.
Updated Plugin that allows newer clients to connect to the older server software, more bug fixes.
Survival
Re-blocked Being able to change spawners with spawn eggs, this was due to reliance on the Premium essentials plugin giving that feature a permission and when it broke in an update there was no secondary protection in-case that failed. Double protection is now enabled outside of this plugin.
I highly recommend reporting any dodgy spawners before they are found from world scans 
TIP: If you report dodgy stuff like the spawner bug, you get rewarded.

Updated head/treasure hunt plugin with a snapshot for testing for tomorrows reboot, that should hopefully cure the performance issues when resetting treasure hunts people have already done, so that we can update existing hunts with new content.

Unloaded unused worlds(Unloaded not deleted) A bunch of unused worlds that were still loaded! Autumn2024, piratespawn (Never completed new spawn) winter, pumpkin & 4 staff worlds and some other randoms that were hidden from the live map.

Added Staff world @Helper @Moderator @Admin
Copy of the staff world from Survival /mvtp staff for now, I'm yet to copy warps. In the near future this will auto sync to Creative so that anything you put into the staff world will be copied to creative automatically so that you have a copy there to edit for events or that require editing to be replaced from dodgy old items, serves as a safe space for Creative too.
Be warned now, anything put in this world on creative will be overwritten by the automatic copy from Survival once that's setup, its a one way system Survival -> Creative.
Setup permissions for world

/guide siege will be updated regularly
/siege <username> while standing in a claim with the owner or trustee in it to start a siege, you can break /softblocks if you win, you can break extra blocks from /winblocks
We now have /surrender to speed up the process without logging out, this kicks you out the claim & gives the attacker more looting time based on the size of your claim!
You can /switchteam You join a siege by simply entering the besieged area!
All sieges are logged #🎫│siege-log all data is saved to a database for future plans for ELO, Leaderboards etc
Cooldowns to prevent abuse
Use /siege during a siege for an overview of all your options, its dynamic based on your position in the siege

@Changelog Alerts 
Survival / Test Server
PirateSiege update Early Beta 1.7.15
Takes effect as of tomorrows reboot (So that I'm awake for it)
Improved Permission Checks Updated the logic to check your permission when using /siege, instead of the defender’s. This gives us the ability to prevent certain players from sieging (useful for moderation or edge cases).
️ Maintenance Mode Toggle Added a global permission check for /siege. If Siege is under maintenance or temporarily disabled, players will now see a clear, friendly message explaining the situation instead of saying people are immune to siege (That was a hot-fix)
Database Fix Fixed a MySQL error when trying to save the weapon/item used in a kill. This was causing sieges to bug out at the very end — it's now resolved!
Kills & thier weapons are tracked with Sieges FYI
Block Breaking Logic Overhaul Reworked how block breaking is handled during sieges!
Now it’s strictly blocked unless the block is allowed for that siege stage (Siege/Winner stage).
(Heads up: this needs more live testing to make sure nothing exploded...)
Claim ID Safety Catch Added a safeguard to prevent the plugin freaking out if an ID cant be found for a claim when changing claims during a siege, I suspect this is moving to an admin claim while in a siege. If it happens again, it’ll now log the error properly so we can diagnose it better.
Trusted Claim Check Players can no longer start a siege in a claim where they are trusted. An oversight that I clocked today.
/siegeQuality of Life Improvements
When you're not in a siege, /siege will now show how many active sieges are happening
You’ll also see how many sieges have occurred since the last server restart
Messages are cleaner, color-coded, and clickable for quick access to the siege guide!

PirateSiege Patch Notes Early Beta 1.8.0
Takes effect as of tomorrows reboot. @Helper feel free to re-open siege after tomorrows reboot with your new fancy pants command!
Sub-claims now behave like parent claims Fixed an issue where subclaims weren’t treated properly causing all sorts of odd issues, should be resolved.
Teleportation logic updated Players under siege shouldn't be able to teleport away via commands or pearls unless explicitly allowed — this logic has been updated, but still needs some live testing to confirm everything behaves properly. There were 2 edge cases, one of them related to subclaims.
Entity's protected from Projectiles I've hardened our entity damage logic to block projectiles like arrows and tridents during siege when applicable. Via #deleted-channel

3D view the world & Screenshots!
Autumn 2024 Blog post (Better late than never) Is now live.
Very late.. but I wanted a record of the event on the website, so its done.
Screenshots are from what I could find on Discord & had in my screenshots folder, if you have more, post them to #📷│media and write "Autumn 2024" so I can search and find them later, feel free to tag me in them and I will add them to the blog post for history purposes, the blog posts will always be there to remind us of events!
3D Map for Event worlds https://emap.piratemc.com
I wanted to try out Bluemap for visualizing worlds in 3D, this is so we can look back at old event maps without having to load them in-game, all from a browser and you can move about in them like you would be in fly in game, this software is AMAZING, but it would be too OP for survival world, people finding ways into bases!
Ive embedded 4 locations into the blog post above, so that its linked.
Depending on feedback, im happy to do older worlds/carry on this trend with newer event worlds. If people are not bothered, then I wont bother! Just thought I would try it out as I had the idea.

Introducing the brand new /siegelog command! 
View a detailed log of all recent siege battles on PirateCraft – including the attackers, defenders, how the siege ended (Kill, Timeout, Escape, Quit, Admin), and even some juicy battle summaries when you hover over rows! 
Type /siegelog in-game to start browsing the chaos!
The duration of the siege is shown after its ID, so you can instantly tell if its a proper battle!
Hover overs show Claims a siege expanded into, as well as secondary attackers and defenders involved in the siege!
Clicking different parts of each row copies that data to your chat, so you can copy/paste it and send it where you want!
Let the age of war records begin!
This sets the groundwork for a future leader-board.
We also have #🎫│siege-log for a basic log.
Siege Chat and bug reports too!
Ignore the debug messages, they should only be shown to me.

Survival & Test
Added Stat Trackers for items! /stattrackers (Staff live testing before we push to public)
These are trackers that can track statistics for the item you put them on!
Once you have a tracker item, you hold the item you want to put it on, use /stattrackers which opens a GUI, you then drag that tracker into the GUI to add it to the item, done.
Trackers can be stacked, so multiple trackers can be put onto one item
Trackers can be removed from an item and put onto another item, they are not bound to an item, when removed the stats reset back to 0.
If you are given/steal an item with trackers on, you can use the command and take off the trackers off that item, its not bound to a player, its on that item.
There are 18 current trackers, each one can only be used on specific items., fish_caught, blocks_broken, distance_jumped, bosses_killed, distance_travelled, experience_absorbed, distance_flown, players_killed, headshots, damage_blocked, damage_dealt, criticals_dealt, arrows_shot, distance_sneaked, _example, damage_taken, mobs_killed, distance_sprinted, times_jumped
New custom stats can be added, but it has to be based off vanilla mechanics, no placeholder API or plugin hooks are available sadly (I desperately wanted event mob stats, boo!)
Its possible for me to update the lore display and existing items be updated, which is fantastic, sadly I wanted them under a title but isn't part of the plugin, ive requested the ability to list them under a title to be neater.
Added /kit stattracker for @Moderator @Admin to get 1 of each for live testing.
Do not try and buy these off staff! I know what you pirates are like! This is for staff testing and only once we are happy we will release to the public!

test.piratemc.com / /server test
Ahoy, crew! I’ve taken over development of PirateSiege, but I’m new to Java & plugin dev, so bear with me as I work through everything.
The latest changelog is posted above ️ – read it first and please mark so we can track who's reading changelogs!
This round of testing is focused on things I can’t test alone, so I need as many of you as possible to jump in and help!
What Needs Testing?
️ Secondary Attackers/Defenders – Make sure team tracking works properly.
Switching Teams – Test all limits & edge cases /switchteam.
️ Multiple Sieges at Once – See if anything breaks when sieges overlap.
Moving Between Claims – Test moving in/out of sieged claims & check if anything bugs out.
⏳ Siege Cooldowns – Make sure spam sieging isn’t possible. (No siege bullying!)
Entity Breaking & Protection – This wasn’t fully tested last time, so break everything you think shouldn’t break.
General Exploit Testing – Try to abuse the system & find loopholes.
How to Report Issues
If you find bugs, exploits, or weird stuff, let me know in #🏰│siege_dev with as much detail as possible. Screenshots & steps to reproduce help a ton!
️ Remember: I’m still learning Java & plugins, so fixes might take time. Be patient & constructive!
Thanks to everyone testing – you’re helping make this a better, fairer siege system! ️

PirateSiege update Early Beta 1.7.15
Takes effect as of tomorrows reboot (So that I'm awake for it)
Improved Permission Checks Updated the logic to check your permission when using /siege, instead of the defender’s. This gives us the ability to prevent certain players from sieging (useful for moderation or edge cases).
️ Maintenance Mode Toggle Added a global permission check for /siege. If Siege is under maintenance or temporarily disabled, players will now see a clear, friendly message explaining the situation instead of saying people are immune to siege (That was a hot-fix)
Database Fix Fixed a MySQL error when trying to save the weapon/item used in a kill. This was causing sieges to bug out at the very end — it's now resolved!
Kills & thier weapons are tracked with Sieges FYI
Block Breaking Logic Overhaul Reworked how block breaking is handled during sieges!
Now it’s strictly blocked unless the block is allowed for that siege stage (Siege/Winner stage).
(Heads up: this needs more live testing to make sure nothing exploded...)
Claim ID Safety Catch Added a safeguard to prevent the plugin freaking out if an ID cant be found for a claim when changing claims during a siege, I suspect this is moving to an admin claim while in a siege. If it happens again, it’ll now log the error properly so we can diagnose it better.
Trusted Claim Check Players can no longer start a siege in a claim where they are trusted. An oversight that I clocked today.
/siegeQuality of Life Improvements
When you're not in a siege, /siege will now show how many active sieges are happening
You’ll also see how many sieges have occurred since the last server restart
Messages are cleaner, color-coded, and clickable for quick access to the siege guide!

Dropped keys for the landlubbers that won the first set of spring 2025 keys!
Added new Giveaway for 15x Spring 2025 keys for 3 people!
@Changelog Alerts Survival
Added /siegecontrol on/off to toggle siege on & off on Survival for @Helper and above while were in testing period still.
If a major bug is discovered this just lets anyone on the team disable siege temporarily to give time to figure out issues. Especially since I do have to sleep and cant be awake 24/7 to monitor
Should only be needed while were in early beta testing
@Changelog Alerts Survival & Test Siege!
PirateSiege Patch Notes Early Beta 1.8.0
Takes effect as of tomorrows reboot. @Helper feel free to re-open siege after tomorrows reboot with your new fancy pants command!
Sub-claims now behave like parent claims Fixed an issue where subclaims weren’t treated properly causing all sorts of odd issues, should be resolved.
Teleportation logic updated Players under siege shouldn't be able to teleport away via commands or pearls unless explicitly allowed — this logic has been updated, but still needs some live testing to confirm everything behaves properly. There were 2 edge cases, one of them related to subclaims.
Entity's protected from Projectiles I've hardened our entity damage logic to block projectiles like arrows and tridents during siege when applicable. Via #deleted-channel
Please do react so I know updates are being read, otherwise I have no idea if people are aware of improvements
@Changelog Alerts Survival

@Changelog Alerts Website - Rewrote the Claims & Siege guide
Updated Claims & Siege guide https://piratemc.com/guides/claims/?swcfpc=1
Its all new, it was missing a lot of stuff and most likely still is, worth re-reading even if you play in-case you missed a feature.
Focus was put on Siege as its changed since this page was originally written.
Feel free to request changes in #🏰│siege_dev to this page, as Ive most likely missed something!

@Changelog Alerts Website - Finally got around to doing the Autumn 2024 event blog post!
3D view the world & Screenshots!
Autumn 2024 Blog post (Better late than never) Is now live.
Very late.. but I wanted a record of the event on the website, so its done.
Screenshots are from what I could find on Discord & had in my screenshots folder, if you have more, post them to #📷│media and write "Autumn 2024" so I can search and find them later, feel free to tag me in them and I will add them to the blog post for history purposes, the blog posts will always be there to remind us of events!
3D Map for Event worlds https://emap.piratemc.com
I wanted to try out Bluemap for visualizing worlds in 3D, this is so we can look back at old event maps without having to load them in-game, all from a browser and you can move about in them like you would be in fly in game, this software is AMAZING, but it would be too OP for survival world, people finding ways into bases!
Ive embedded 4 locations into the blog post above, so that its linked.
Depending on feedback, im happy to do older worlds/carry on this trend with newer event worlds. If people are not bothered, then I wont bother! Just thought I would try it out as I had the idea.
@Changelog Alerts Survival
Added Added a new /survey that simply asks how you found out about PirateCraft.
You'll get a custom gold sword for answering

Ever wondered who's been sieging who across the high seas? Who's fled in shame, who stood their ground, and who walked away with the loot? The answers are now here!
Introducing the brand new /siegelog command!
View a detailed log of all recent siege battles on PirateCraft – including the attackers, defenders, how the siege ended (Kill, Timeout, Escape, Quit, Admin), and even some juicy battle summaries when you hover over rows!
Type /siegelog in-game to start browsing the chaos!
The duration of the siege is shown after its ID, so you can instantly tell if its a proper battle!
Hover overs show Claims a siege expanded into, as well as secondary attackers and defenders involved in the siege!
Clicking different parts of each row copies that data to your chat, so you can copy/paste it and send it where you want!
Let the age of war records begin!
This sets the groundwork for a future leader-board.
We also have #🎫│siege-log for a basic log.
Siege Chat and bug reports too!
Ignore the debug messages, they should only be shown to me.

@Changelog Alerts Survival & Test
Added Stat Trackers for items! /stattrackers (Staff live testing before we push to public)
These are trackers that can track statistics for the item you put them on!
Once you have a tracker item, you hold the item you want to put it on, use /stattrackers which opens a GUI, you then drag that tracker into the GUI to add it to the item, done.
Trackers can be stacked, so multiple trackers can be put onto one item
Trackers can be removed from an item and put onto another item, they are not bound to an item, when removed the stats reset back to 0.
If you are given/steal an item with trackers on, you can use the command and take off the trackers off that item, its not bound to a player, its on that item.
There are 18 current trackers, each one can only be used on specific items., fish_caught, blocks_broken, distance_jumped, bosses_killed, distance_travelled, experience_absorbed, distance_flown, players_killed, headshots, damage_blocked, damage_dealt, criticals_dealt, arrows_shot, distance_sneaked, _example, damage_taken, mobs_killed, distance_sprinted, times_jumped
New custom stats can be added, but it has to be based off vanilla mechanics, no placeholder API or plugin hooks are available sadly (I desperately wanted event mob stats, boo!)
Its possible for me to update the lore display and existing items be updated, which is fantastic, sadly I wanted them under a title but isn't part of the plugin, ive requested the ability to list them under a title to be neater.
Added /kit stattracker for @Moderator @Admin to get 1 of each for live testing.
Do not try and buy these off staff! I know what you pirates are like! This is for staff testing and only once we are happy we will release to the public!

Adds Lore replacement feature /ie lore replace {Heavy} {Very light} would replace anything called "Heavy" with "Very light" in the lore to quickly replace spelling or changes required.
Revamp of /ie firework very cool UI to edit fireworks now!

Updated /ie potioneffect add <effect> <duration> [level] [particles] [ambient] [icon] [particles] allow to set if particles should be shown (true/false), [ambient] sets if the particles should have ambient effect (true/false), [icon] sets if the icon of the potion effect should be shown on top right corner (true/false)
/ie potioneffect add allows infinite duration when setting the value as -1
