CrystalQuest
About
CrystalQueset is a PvP-based minigame where your goal is to get as many crystals for your team as possible in a certain amount of time. Smash EnderCrystals, collect power-ups and smash other people to get more crystals. The team with the most amount of crystals (points) wins. This plugin will provide you this wonderful minigame and will automate everyting for you. I found that it is actually a pretty addictive game according to our testings and hope you guys will enjoy the game too.:)
A more extensive description can be found at the Wiki, just hit the button above.
I have also created a custom map with a couple of preconfigured maps. This map is also featured in the video down below. You can download it here.
This plugin requires the server to run at least Java 8.

How to install
- Download the version of CrystalQuest you'd like to have on your server
- Place the .jar in the plugins folder
- You're now ready to go! You can customize CrystalQuest in config.yml
Update Checker
This plugin utilizes Gravity's update checker to notify when a new version of CrystalQuest is out, it will not automaticly download the new version. It also notifies the admins (with the crystalquest.admin permission) that a new version is available. This can be enabled/disabled in the config.yml. To disable update-checking, set updates.check-for-updates to false. To disable admin notifying, set updates.notify-admin to false.
Known Bugs
- [v1.3.3-] /cq maxplayers sets the minplayers instead of the maxplayers. Workarounds: wait for the v1.3.4 release, or manually set it in the data.yml when the plugin is disabled.
- [v1.3.1] /cq setlobby is not a registered command making the usage of this plugin without a previous setup useless. Workarounds: update to v1.3.2+ or manually add the following line to your data.yml with filled in coordinates. Edit this file after disabling the plugin, otherwise the settings will get overwritten.

- See this tweet for the intermediate list of changes.
- Ideas will always be considered! Please leave an issue if you know a new feature (choose the "enhancements" type). You can also contact me via Twitter.

Tips and Tricks
- If you don't spawn after the countdown ended and you have Essentials enabled, make sure you have unsafe enchantments turned on.
- Don't be shy with the items! The items make the game. You can use around 12 itemspawns for an arena like "Park" (Test map) and all will be perfectly fine.
- Make sure you have the latest server software installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The permissions do not work! A: They do. In fact, you probably didn't take your time reading the wiki...
Q: My players can't choose a kit. A: Make sure the players have the right permission (crystalquest.kit. or crystalquest.kit.* for all kits).
Q: All players get killed/items don't get despawned/something else arena related. A: Make sure the arena is protected.
Q: Could you add XXX? A: Please make an "enhancement" issue.
Q: Help, everyone crashed! A: This has probably to do with the "NameTagEdit" plugin. Update, or remove this plugin will fix this problem.
Q: I found bug XXX, please help! A: Please make an Issue on the issue tracker containing your data.yml and your config.yml (in pastebin or something similar) and make sure you describe the problem sufficiently. Also make sure to include other important information.
Q: I love your plugin. You're the best! A: Thank you :) Take some of my tenderest beef!

Still kind of crashing some times.
This plugin looks amazing
Yeah xD, Im just trying to get the /cq join command Lol
@xXSkater29Xx
Development builds :) For the full releases however, I'm not allowed to put up links to the bukkit file. I'm also not going to host them seperately again. Chances are that the dev build is extremely similar to the actual release. Otherwise, 1-3 days patience? I think you'll survive that :)
@MrSugarCaney:
Can you add a beta link to unapproved builds? Like it would say that it isnt approved and what not, because sometimes it does take some time for Bukkit to approve a plugin. Thx :D
@deitytowns
Weird. It should. If you can post a ticket (today, I leave town tomorrow for a week) containing, data, config, plugins and your (full) permissions today, I might find a way to help you. Sorry if I tend to sound a bit harsh sometimes. I want to sort this out too :)
i have went through the wiki.. NOTHING works permission wise. i have given a rank crystalquest.arena.* crystalquest.join they didnt work i basicly did everything that allowed a player to join but nothing worked. i Tried crystalquest.staff that didnt work i then tried crystalquest.admin that didnt work either. Please fix this. I also know your FAQ thing about permissions telling people to read the wiki. I read over it again did it all over again and it still Did Not WORK.
Help please?
@jdawwgy
Too vague. Use a ticket to describe your problems more effectively. I can't make any chocolate from this...
Hi what i meant is when i die and restart i get my custom join items back. Is there a way just to get the kits back?
@jdawwgy
Most of the bugs aren't bugs and are wrong set-ups instead, and some bugs are fixed in 0.5. If you want custom join items you should have a command-execute-by-item plugin set up with the command "/cq join <arena>". However, this requires the yet-non-approved b0.5 version.
It seems like you haven't read the (entire) wiki yet, so I recommend you doing so. That will probably clear out a lot.
Hey theres currently some bugs and i think you need to fix them becuase i really want this plugin. I see that sometimes the kits don't work and sometimes maps don't reset. Is there a way you can make it compatible for custom join items.
@kevin19961996
Read FAQ.
I found a major bug in the Dev Built When you shoot a crystal with a bow it will explode and it won't spawn anymore! Please fix it
@mrsugarcaney In-game randomly disapper inventory item after this player in god mode. Pls fix it
@lIndependentl
Haha. that's a bug. commented it out in the latest dev. :) don't worry.
Hi, I'm translating it to Spanish, and another thing, "/Cq removearena <ArenaName/ID>" doesn't work for me.. Help please!!
Ok thanks love the plugin btw keep up the good work
@jdawwgy
The b0.4 re-upload is just the regular upload. Signs are a known bug and I am working on it. Please be patient. If you use the latest dev, you can use /cq join instead.
when we finish the game and go to join again the sign gets stuck in the restarting. But if we create the same sign of that arena we can join. Fix it
how do we download bo4 reuploaded. I see that you fixed the anvils in that. How do i download it
