PirateCraft is a Minecraft survival server set in a pirate theme, located in the United Kingdom and currently running version 1.18.2. The server encourages a tight-knit community atmosphere, having developed over five years into a family-like environment. Players can connect to PirateCraft through mc.piratemc.com and access various resources such as the official website, Discord for community engagement, and a comprehensive set of rules to ensure a enjoyable experience for everyone. New players can find guidance from the 'Getting Started' section and explore detailed guides to enhance their gameplay.
This server is unique in that it features a permanent map that will never be reset, allowing players to leave for extended periods, such as three months or even three years, and return to find their builds intact and protected. To maintain a dynamic gameplay experience, the server regenerates abandoned claims and land periodically. This regeneration process helps prevent the world from becoming outdated and stale, ensuring fresh opportunities for exploration. The staff operates with a hands-off policy, stepping in only when assistance is requested, promoting independence for the players, whether they choose to forge their own paths or build vast empires. The rich history of PirateCraft can be explored in depth through the community Wiki, which details the server's timeline over the years.
