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! 
️
