    Yes I had this problem too. Would be good to know when it’s sorted. Thanks

    Hum, I was never able to even find any gold under any of the the x marks.  I finally gave up on the game after finding myself stuck in a hole and the pic axe breaks and ya can't get out of the hole.

    Hey All.

    I've just used the Pirate Cove world in a schools tournament and we edited the world to make it a little easier for others.

    Here are some of the changes we made:

    - Changed the type of block in the 9 large treasure chests so that students can more easily place the gold blocks in those chests on top of the big pirate ship

    - Set the world to Hard

    - Reduced the depth of 24 of the dig spots (the main X spots) to 20 blocks deep instead of 80

    - Timer automatically has 15 minutes on it but can be increased/decreased using the control buttons

    - Keep inventory is set to false

     

    A few things we found while playing that it's important to note:

    - If players drop gold it will disappear (because it's magic pirate gold!)

    - If players die with the diamond pickaxe/cutlass they don't get another one from the captain's supplies

    - It is possible to have multiple pickaxes in your inventory if you collect from the crew supplies and then store in a barrel before picking up another one (then retrieve the extra from the barrel)

    - There are some hidden chests and dig spots around the island

    - Wooden pickaxe will overwrite anything else in inventory so get this first before collecting bread

    - Place gold blocks in the 9 chests before re-supplying so gold blocks don't disappear

    If you would like a copy of the world let me know. I also created a teacher handbook to support it.

    Handbook or rule book would be nice.  None of this info seems to be shared.  (Like what order to get supplies in since if you get the captain supplies but then try to get the next supplies, the captain gear disappears and is gone for good.)

    Knowing how deep the gold is would definitely help but I swear at one point I got down to bedrock and still had not found gold so something seemed really glitched.  And another time I went down as far as a single pick-axe could go and no gold.  So definitely some more information would make it more likely that students/teachers could have a clue how to play the game.

    Would some tutorial videos help do you think?

    Here's a link to the teacher handbook I created for the tournament in case it helps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z60jt8lhf2ne74h/Teacher%20Handbook_v1.pdf?dl=0

    Not all of the information will be relevant but one slide does have the co-ordinates of the 24 dig spots we focused on for the tournament.

    Hi Philip Wride,

    Thank you SO much for this! Are you the original creator of the game, or did you just do a personal edit? If so, I would really appreciate a copy of your edited version with the teachers' handbok. My students love the game, but they hate it when they don't know exactly what to do, as they are very competitive and want to get it right!

    Thanks again,

    Chanille Viviers

    Chanille Viviers - I didn't create the game/world but yes I worked with another EdTech specialist to do a personal edit.

    The handbook is linked here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z60jt8lhf2ne74h/Teacher%20Handbook_v1.pdf?dl=0

    And there's a short "cheat book" here for teachers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dny7v23v2r8y4i8/MESC%20Teacher%20Cheat%20Sheet.pdf?dl=0

    For a copy of the edited world you can use this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4ncxr46xh0jc5i/MESC2022%20%282.0%29.mcworld?dl=0

     

    Hope it helps!

    Chanille Viviers check the link Philip posted above, looks like that page has information plus links to the video and the world they used.

    Philip Wride thank you, will have to check it out when I have some time.

    I must say that running these maps on a client with the content logs enabled produces a huge list of errors.  It seems the creators do not check things with the content logs before release.
