Pinecraft Notice Board

1️⃣ Every Player Warp will automatically renew every 6 months for $12,000. If you have the money in your account, you won't have to do a thing—the renewal happens automatically. Before your renewal is due, you'll receive multiple reminder messages, giving you plenty of notice to make sure you have the funds available. If there isn't $12,000 in your account when the renewal date arrives, your Player Warp will be automatically removed.

2️⃣ If a Player Warp owner has been inactive for 6 months, their Player Warp will also be automatically removed. This helps ensure the list stays active while also opening up old, unused warp names for new players.

🙉 Wait, before you go bananas. I know what you are thinking. We know there are a few favorite and well-known Player Warps that are currently owned by players who have been inactive for a long time. Don't worry—these Player Warps are being saved and will remain available for the community to use!

Some of the community Player Warps being preserved include:

• /pw DarkWeb
• /pw Pub
• /pw Cafe
• /pw GardenShop
• /pw Blockshop
• /pw worship
• /pw RaceTrack
• /pw RainbowR
• /pw end
• /pw Sugarrush

These locations are part of the server's history and community, so we want to make sure they continue to be available.

These changes are meant to keep the Player Warp list fresh, relevant, and easy to navigate while making the renewal process as hands-off as possible.

These changes will go live next week. Thank you everyone for helping to keep the Player Warp system up to date! 📅

Congratulations to our newly elected Mayor and Council! We look forward to seeing your ideas, leadership, and dedication help shape the future of Pinecraft.

We'd also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to every candidate who ran this year. It takes courage to put yourself forward, and we appreciate the time and effort each of you invested throughout the election.

Over the next few days, we'll begin the transition between the outgoing and incoming Mayor and Council before the new team officially takes office.

Congratulations once again to our newly elected leaders, and thank you to everyone who made this election a success! ❤️

The time has come! Voting for the next Mayor and Council is now officially open and will remain open until Sunday, June 28th.

When you log in, you'll receive instructions on how to cast your vote. If you need to view those instructions again at any point, you can visit /warp vote. Votes can be submitted using /poll vote or /modnvote.

Once voting closes, the results will be posted automatically in-game. We'll also share the results here in Discord for anyone who isn't online when the poll ends.

Thank you to everyone who applied, campaigned, and took part in this election process. We appreciate all of the time and effort our candidates have put in over the past week!

After the election concludes, we'll begin the transition process as leadership is handed over to the newly elected Mayor and Council.

Happy voting! ❤️

Applications have been reviewed, and we're excited to announce the official candidates for this election cycle!

Campaigning officially begins today!

For our candidates: this is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the community, share your goals, and explain why you'd like to serve. There is no required format for campaigning, so feel free to get creative! You might choose to create posters or banners around your plot, build a campaign headquarters, host a Q&A or meet-and-greet, write a campaign speech, or use Discord to share your ideas and plans for PCE.

Most importantly, campaigning should remain respectful, positive, and community-focused. Focus on what YOU hope to bring to the role and why you'd be a good representative for the community.

Timeline Update: We discovered a typo in the original election schedule. Voting will officially open on Sunday, June 21st. Thank you for your patience while we corrected the dates.

We encourage everyone to take the time to get to know the candidates before casting their votes. Good luck to all of our candidates, and have fun! ❤️

Who says the biggest horse should always win? 👀

This month, the @Community fell head over hooves for one pint-sized contender, and after a flurry of votes, our miniature favorite cantered straight into first place!❤️🐴

Curious how the voting turned out? You can find the full results over in #discord!

The Falabella takes the crown this June! 🏆

Proof that great things come in small packages, the Falabella has captured the community's heart and claimed victory! ❤️

Despite being one of the smallest horse breeds in the world, this miniature marvel is now officially available as a brand-new Horse Breed on the server!

🤔 What about the others?

The competition was close, but these breeds aren't out of the race just yet and will join the ballot again next month:

🔮 What’s next?

Will another underdog steal the spotlight next month? 👀

A mysterious new breed is waiting in the wings, and the next round of voting is just around the corner...

Thanks for voting!

Applications for the next Mayor and Council have officially closed. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to apply and put themselves forward to serve the community!

Over the next few days, the team will be reviewing applications and finalizing the list of candidates. Once that process is complete, we'll announce the official candidates and kick off the campaign and voting period!

Stay tuned, and thank you all for making this such an exciting part of PCE!

We've seen a number of inaccurate race times make their way onto the leaderboards in TownHall, and we know that's frustrating for everyone who's been competing fairly.

So to make things right and ensure the competition is as fair as possible, we'll be resetting the race time leaderboards on Wednesday, 10 June 2026

This fresh start will remove any invalid times and give everyone an equal opportunity to earn a spot on the boards with their horse.

Thanks for your understanding, and we can't wait to see who claims the top spots in the new rankings!

Happy Racing!

Join us on Sunday, May 31st for a celebratory Mayor’s Parade through town as we gather to honor the current Mayor and Council and celebrate everything they’ve accomplished over the past year serving the PCE community!

The parade procession will travel through town before concluding at the Sporkle statue, where members of the current council will give speeches reflecting on memorable moments from their term, projects and improvements they’ve worked on throughout the year, and the experiences they’ve shared with the community along the way.

Following the parade, everyone is invited to stay for a community celebration featuring themed Minecraft foods, small goodies, and time to relax, mingle, and spend time together with fellow residents of Pinecraft.

We’ll also have a special announcement to share with the community following the parade, so you won’t want to miss it. 👀

Whether you’ve been part of the community for years or recently found your place here, we’d love to see you there as we celebrate the leadership, accomplishments, and friendships that helped make this past year in PCE so memorable. ❤️

To improve server performance and reduce unnecessary database bloat, we’ll be performing a cleanup of long-expired Auction House (/ah) listings that were never collected by their owners.

This cleanup will only affect expired listings that pre-date February of this year and is intended to keep things running smoothly going forward.

If you have any extremely old unclaimed Auction House items, now would be a good time to double-check and collect them before the cleanup takes place.
Use the command `/ah collect` to easily collect the items!

🕚 You have time until: 25 May 2026 to collect your old expired items off /ah! After this day they will get irreversibly deleted!

Thank you for understanding!

We want to follow up on a reminder we shared recently about internet safety and external servers, and expand a bit on why this is something we take seriously.

When interacting online, it's important to remember that you can never fully know who is behind the screen. Even when someone feels famiilar or "part of the group", anything that happens outside of PCE is not something we can see, monitor, or step in to help with. Once conversations or interactions move into external servers or private spaces, we lose the ability to protect or support players if something goes wrong.

This is why we have a clear rule that PCE should not be used to invite, direct, or move players into outside Discord servers or off-platform groups. We know friendships and group spaces naturally form, but using our space to transition people elsewhere removes them from the safety and moderation we can provide here.

Recently, staff have had to take action in situations where external activity began affecting the safety and stability of the community. Our responsibility is to make decisions that protect the wellbeing of players and maintain a safe environment within PCE.

Because of this, we want to reinforce that the rule remains in place and will continue to be enforced consistently. We also want to remind everyone not to spread screenshots, speculation, or ongoing moderation discussions between players. If you have concerns, please bring them directly to staff so they can be handled properly.

TLDR

• You can never fully know who is behind the screen, and we cannot protect or moderate what happens outside of PCE.
• Do not use PCE to move players into external servers or private spaces. This will continue to be enforced.
• Do not spread screenshots or discuss moderation situations with others. Bring concerns directly to staff.

Thank you for understanding and helping us keep PCE safe and respectful!

The votes are in, and after a fierce showdown, one breed galloped ahead of the rest… 🐎💨

You can check out the full breakdown of the results in #discord if you're interested!

The Criollo takes the crown this May! 🏆

Strong, resilient, and community-approved, this champion is now officially available as a brand-new Horse Breed on the server!

🤔 What about the others?

Just like before, the remaining breeds are still in the running for future votes:

° Furioso
° Monchino
° Missouri Fox Trotter
° Turkoman
° Württemberger

🔮 What’s next?

Next month, a mysterious new breed will join the lineup… 👀
And the voting chaos begins again!

Thanks for voting! Be ready for next month!

It is this time of the month again! Time to vote a new breed to join us in Pinecraft!

❗This system will continue monthly!

|| @Community ||

We need to be very clear about this.

Inviting or directing players to any non-partnered or private Discord servers is not allowed. This includes small or "friends-only" servers.

This also applies to how you share it. You cannot send invites in public chat, in DMs, or tell people to add you/contact you somewhere else to join. If you met someone through PCE, you should not be moving them to outside servers.

This rule is here for player safety. We have many younger members in our community, and once conversations move to outside servers we cannot see what's happening or step in if something goes wrong. That means we can't help if there are arguments, inappropriate behavior, or worse. That's why we take this seriously.

Going forward, this will be enforced strictly. If you invite, promote, or direct others to outside servers, you will receive moderation action. Please keep interactions within PCE where staff can help keep things safe. If you're ever unsure about something, please ask a moderator first.

TLDR:

• Do not invite or direct players to ANY outside or private servers, even in DMs.
• Keep interactions within PCE.
• Breaking this rule will result in moderation action.

~The Mod Squad

Hey everyone,

We know we just made a pretty serious announcement yesterday, but this is something that needs to be addressed clearly to protect the kind of space we are trying to maintain here on PCE.

First, we do not allow any form of e-dating on this server. This includes dating, weddings, roleplaying relationships, or any behavior that suggests a romantic relationship between players. This is not a gray area and it is not something that will be allowed under any circumstances.

This rule exists for a reason. PCE is a family friendly server with many younger players, and online relationships can very quickly become unsafe. Not everyone on the internet is who they say they are. What may seem harmless at first can lead to situations involving manipulation, pressure, or people asking for personal information. Our goal is to prevent those situations before they ever start and to keep everyone here safe.

Second, PCE is and always will be a safe, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ friendly server. Every player deserves to feel welcome and respected regardless of who they are.

Because of that, homophobia, transphobia, or any form of bigotry will never be tolerated. This includes jokes, comments, “opinions,” or behavior that targets or excludes others.

These rules are not here to limit fun. They are here to protect our players and to make sure this server remains a safe, respectful space for everyone. We expect all players to follow these rules and to be mindful of how their actions affect others.

If you are ever unsure about something, it is always better to step back and keep things appropriate and respectful.

We appreciate the many players who help make this community positive and welcoming, and we expect these standards to be upheld moving forward.

TLDR:

• No e-dating of ANY kind.
• No homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry.
• Keep all interactions respectful and appropriate.

~The Mod Squad

Hey everyone, we need to have a quick chat about internet safety. PCE is a family friendly server, and our mod team works really hard to make sure rules are followed and that everyone here feels safe and comfortable. That said, we also need everyone to do their part by staying aware and making safe choices online. Recently, we’ve had a few reports of players getting direct messages on Discord from people they don’t know. Some of these messages might seem polite or harmless at first, but they are often the start of scams.

Here’s an example of one that was sent to a player:

“Hello can I disturb you for a minute… may I know if this is your Steam account?”

This might not look dangerous right away, and that is exactly why messages like this work. They are designed to feel normal so that you respond. Once someone replies, the person may try to convince them something is wrong with their account, send a fake link, or ask for information. A good rule to remember is this: if someone you don’t know is asking about your account, it is not safe.

What makes messages like this suspicious:

• It’s from someone you don’t know
• They are asking about your account
• There is no clear reason for them to message you

If you ever receive a message like this:

• Do not reply
• Do not click any links
• Block the user
• Let a mod or a trusted adult know

Please also remember:

• Never share personal information online
• Never share passwords or account details
• Staff will never message you privately asking for this information

This applies everywhere, not just on PCE. Knowing how to spot messages like this helps keep you safe here and anywhere else online. We care about all of you and want to keep this a safe place for everyone 💛

TLDR:
If someone you don’t know messages you about your account, don't reply, don't click anything, block them, and tell a mod or a trusted adult.

Future updates will bring bigger changes to times & prizes, so keep an eye out!
And happy racing! 🏇💨

|| @Community ||

If you’re unsure about something, need guidance, or just want to learn more... drop your questions there!
Let’s keep discussions organized and make it easier for the @Community to support each other. 🩷

Following up on the racing poll held November last year, we'd like to inform you that most of the barrier blocks, adjacent to the fence jumps, have been removed.

By carefully lining up your horse with the fence, you are now able to skip the set of fences entirely. But be aware: one small mistake and you might fall hundreds of blocks into the ocean, so race carefully everyone!🪂

⚠️ Please note that the barriers on the left side of the last set of fences have been kept, as it would be too big of an easy advantage, to overtake another player right at the end.

We hope that with these changes, you can shave off even more precious seconds from your racing time. So saddle your steeds and get ready to practice, if you wanna make it to the top of the podium.🥇

Good luck and happy racing!🏇 💨 🌈

We've opened up a new Bug channel to help keep all those pesky bugs in one place, and stop the mods from drowning in 50 tickets about the same issue (being dramatic, of course!)

Here's how it works:

🐛 SrMods will create new bug threads as they emerge from the deepest darkest depths of the server
Just because we like our chaos organized.

🫙 🦋You are our amazing community bug catchers
Scroll through the Bug channel and comment on any topic that *matches your exact issue, so we can keep the identical bugs from scurrying off and wreaking havoc.
*Same bug only, we don't mix the silverfish with the endermites

🪳 Don’t see your issue in any current thread?
Don't bug out! Just open a support ticket, and we’ll wrangle it for you!
Sometimes "bugs" are really just simple things we can resolve in a ticket, but it's better to be safe than sorry! We don't want an infestation!

❌ No more scurrying straight to the tickets channel to sit and wait for a fix. Bugs belong in the bugs channel now!

Your votes have been collected, sorted, smelted, accidentally dropped in lava, and then collected again.
But at long last… the results are finally in!

The Grand Question:

Do we allow shortcuts in races… or keep the path as straight as a strip-mined tunnel?

Well, the community has spoken!

✨ 34 Votes for “YES! Let us leap, zip, parkour, and pray!”
🚫 11 Votes: “NO! Stick to the path, you maniacs!”

Which means…

🎉 Shortcuts are now 100% approved by the Pinecraft Council! Let the Chaos unfold! 🎉

-# ❗ We will open up the previously closed Shortcuts on existing Tracks again soon! Keep your eyes peeled!

Gear up for:
° Accidental speedruns
° “Strategic falling”
° Horses drifting around corners like MineKart 64
° Random sneaky jumps that turn into heroic landings
° And at least one player shouting: “WAIT—THAT WAS A SHORTCUT?!”

So grab your horses, saddle up and fasten on your helmets, because the races just got 200% more chaotic, 150% more fun, and 0% safer.
May your jumps be clean and your landings be soft! 🏇💨

Good luck out there!

Not so long ago, the ground near spawn trembled with a heartbeat.

Thump… thump… thump…

Every player heard it — a pulse of the deep.

Now, the sound is gone. And so is he.
The silence feels heavier than the noise ever did.

In that silence, a passage waits.
Hidden beneath brick and dripping stone lies a new shop, kept by one who lost his sound.

They say he was once a Monster, buried in the dark.
Until one day he got invited to scare the players on Hallow-Eve at Spawn.
But when the players grew too close, he silenced his own heart to vanish from their senses.
Yet the silence didn’t end him — it changed him.
He learned to trade instead of hunt,
to listen instead of roar.

And now, he offers his treasures to those who dare descend —
bottled rage, captured darkness,

❗ Hostile Mob Spawn Eggs ❗

In the place he vanished, a poem awaits —
a memory hidden where the silence reigns.

> Deep below where shadows creep,
> A beast once woke from ancient sleep.
> For two past Halloweens he crept near spawn,
> With heartbeat keen and senses sharp.
> Spawn’s now silent — it’s slipped away,
> To tunnels where the lost ones stray.
> Beneath cold bars and broken chain,
> The dripping whispers call a name.
> “Willy~~,” they murmur in the gloom,
> Where candlelight flickers, he waits in the room.
> The shadows twist and fill the air,
> What vanished waits beneath the square.

So descend if you dare.
No pulse guides those who wander here,
only whispers through winding veins:

Beneath the square, through tunnels deep,
the muted heart still waits where shadows sleep.

💀 Now Open: The Hostile Mob Shop
📍Where? - Beneath spawn, where shadows twist and water drips
⚒️ Limited Stock: Hostile Mob Spawn Eggs — beware what you unleash!
-# 💡 (You can only buy a limited amount of eggs each month!)

❗ The very limited EVENT Mob Spawn Eggs on the last page are only here for the duration of Halloween! They will vanish after November, 2nd until next year! So get them while they're there!

Some of you might have noticed already...
…but we’ve got a couple of cool updates worth officially announcing! 👀

🧭 PlayerWarps & PlotClaim Borders are BACK on Pl3xMap!

That’s right — your warps and claim borders are now showing up again!
-# Use the command /map in game to get the link!

Plot hunting, warp browsing, or just spying on your friends? The map is your best friend again!
-# 💡 A Quick Note on Plot Hunting:
-# While exploring the map, you might come across unclaimed or recently expired plots. We ask that you please use common sense and kindness before claiming those.
-# Our community thrives on respect, generosity, and fair play — it’s what makes this place awesome, and we’re super proud of that. If you're unsure whether a plot is truly abandoned, feel free to ask a mod or just give it a little time! 🩷

🦙 Now entering: The Spit Squad! 🐫

Llamas and Camels have officially joined the server!

Camels are basically the chillest Uber you’ll ever ride — two-seater, off-road certified, and built for desert drama.
Llamas? They're like angry, fuzzy alarms. They’ll carry your stuff… and then spit on you just to remind you who’s in charge.
Tame them, love them, and try not to take the spitting personally.
-# ⚠️ Breeding Status
-# Breeding for llamas and camels is currently not working on the server. Our team is aware of the issue and actively working to fix it as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Remember: If a llama spits on you, just smile and accept it as a weird compliment.

The recent issues affecting the SignShop functionality have now been resolved.
All shop signs should operate correctly again!

If you continue to experience any problems, please report them to the staff team!

Thank you for your patience and happy shopping! 💰
— The Pinecraft Council

||everyone ||

We wanted to let you know that with our update to version 1.21.8 the SignShops are currently not functional due to some unexpected issues.
We're actively working on resolving the problem and hope to have everything back to normal as soon as possible.

🔒 What this means:

All SignShops at /spawn are currently closed.
Some players may have disabled their PlayerWarps to shops during this downtime - just be patient, they will open back up eventually!

We ask you to not touch your SignShops for the time being until the issue is fixed, as this could lead to complications!
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we sort this out.

Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for your continued support! 🩷

We’ve got some neigh-borly good news to share — we’ve officially selected three new moderators to help keep the barn running smoothly and the trails safe for all!

Please give a big round of hoofbeats to someone, someone, and someone! These three have shown true spirit, dedication, and a whole lotta hay-hearted kindness, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them join the mod team.

Make sure to trot by and say congrats — they’ve earned their saddles!

Happy riding,

In other news, the monthly Gods leaderboards now have a heavenly reward for each month's Champions, along with a brand new acknowledgement of their LEGEND! Which, while it will fade in time as all legends do, will allow them to use their God-Like powers they are gifted with to change the world!

If you yearn for such power but don't want to wait for your own monthly leaderboard champion moment, you can get yours from /shop at https://shop.pinecraftequestrian.com

(Also a reminder that the Kyarina Defeater PvP pack is clearly quite necessary to be able to finally secure the ultimate boss battle trophy, her head! - There's gonna be a everyone announcement about THAT prize reward another time, no rush, it's not like it's gonna happen anytime soon from how things have gone so far at YeGods!)

✨ **And don't forget for anyone who buys a 10,000 Star pack from the /shop gets to claim their own low-ID horse (while stocks last) and still gets to spend those Stars how they wish! ✨

OG Pinecraftian someone has graciously taken up the role as Mayor of Pineton...(and will no longer be listed on the leaderboards to ensure fairness, quite the sacrifice indeed!)

Joined by Council members someone and someone serving as your public representatives on the Council body!

Going forward we will be moving to a democratic election-based system, and looking to add more players to the Council, but in the meantime they will asked to consider proposals for changes and improvements to both the Pineton infrastructure and the Pineland game environment itself!

✨ So a congratulations and thank-you from me and everyone here for your willingness to take up the role and serve your community!✨
