    Hello all, you may not be aware but as of late there has been a very worrying amount of looting and theft occurring on the server. It has gotten to such a level that we as a team cannot replace what was lost so players are permanently losing what was stolen. The items being targeted are mostly seasonal rare items (/gift heads, drop party heads), crate keys and other mob heads.

    While we work on a solution to this issue we urge everyone to do the following:
    - Ensure that NO ONE other than yourself has access to your rares. This means making use of private signs or your enderchest
    - Avoid sharing rares. Shared rares pose a big risk, especially when friendships break down or something changes a player's attitude
    - Do not trust anyone on your island unless you know the person well. We have had cases of people who have ranks abuse the trust that gives them to scam, loot and grief others
    - Always take screenshots and videos when you are handling your rares
    - Don't account share, even if you quit

    We do not want anyone to fall victim to these people who think it is fun and appropriate to steal from others to profit. And I know you guys certainly don't want to be in a bad situation. So please secure your seasonal gift heads and rares and pass this message on to people in game who may not see this.

    Thank You

    Avoid enderchests for storage since it’s more likely to lose them, but always use privated chests or shulkers for storage and always take up to date screenshots and videos of your collections.

    Also avoid using item frames for display but rather use floating items on shops or signs. And make sure to turn off mob riding if you don’t want people to glitch their way into unprotected areas

    And remember, ranks does not equal trustworthiness. People are douchebags whatever their rank. Don’t be an Omar and trust 30 people on your island and forget half of them are even there. Regularly check your /trust list in case you forget to take anyone off

    If you run casinos, you can put private signs on the back of droppers to protect from coop mates or trusted members taking from there. Also, if you do find that your casinos are robbed always ask staff to check logs for buttons being placed, which is usually the way items will be taken.

    People can't steal from it, but there has been cases where peoples items inside an enderchest have magically dissapeared

    And there are no logs for ender chests, better to store your items in a chest or shulker that’s privated

    I think you should force Hoozo to go around and make a list of all the rares and who currently owns them. You should then force Houseo to keep track of them 24/7 so these robberies can’t happen.

    [Helper/Rare-Tracker] Hosso: I track yo items.
    Make this his prefix.

    Not sure if this is even close to feasible. There are thousands of rares on the server.

    sure
    shhh

    Just also a little add on. I’ve had two shulkers randomly get wiped and since logs for shulkers are a bit hard, my items weren’t able to get returned. I think storing rares in a regular chest with a private sign is the best move.

    Like others have said ranks do not necessarily mean they are trustworthy. Please keep in mind to remove anyone you do not trust from your trust list and to lockette any droppers, shulkers, or chests. If possible, take screenshots of your rares or prizes in your casinos for your own safety if players are trusted on your island. These safety measurements are for your own protection, but at the end of the day we do not truly know every players intentions or whether they are malicious or not. This can happen to anyone, so do not blame yourself if this occurs.

    Can you also include casinos too? Recently My casino has been looted and all the rares, grass, and other prizes are gone. The person responsible was able to trigger the Redstone circuit and drop all the items onto the ground.

    Echests are safe the only time they arent safe is when someone has access to your account and they hop on and drop everything in there

    Enderchests are safe enough and i've never encountered a bug with them in the 9 years i've played and it is very rare to encounter an echest wipe. So at least for temporary storage your enderchests are safe.
    I
    f you use 2fa on your microsoft account linked to your mc account you should have no issues being stolen from unless you account share.

    I can certainly add something about casinos. But let me know what kind of warning you would like and how you will combat the issue :)

    Just to clarify isn’t that only possible from someone you trusted. Perhaps then it can only be said to watch who you trust and actively keep on top of that list?
