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.

Please make a issue if you found a bug. This would really help me improving the plugin. :)

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.

@MrSugarCaney
sweet thanx.
@soulscapex
Already added...
are you goin to add UUID
@TrueXpertz
You could make sure that all the itemnames are spelled correctly according this list. Otherwise you could either report a ticket or send me a personal message.
for some reason when i join a game the scoreboard doesnt show up but the game time countdown and all perms work correctly is this a bug or do i have to change something in the config?
@Seaboiii
You can get special items in advance by giving them the corresponding item ánd the corresponding name. If you have for example the FireFlower (name is Fire in dark red and Flower in gold), you set the item to a poppy. After that, you use the CustomDisplayName-feature to give it the corresponding name (keep in mind that the display name should be the same as in the lang.yml). You'll get something like this:
For the class problem: Then you probably have set-up your config.yml wrongly. Try parsing it in YAMLlint and also make sure that you have given the right item names (List, use CTRL-F for quick-search). Still doesn't work? Make a proper ticket.
@mcprogamer
There isn't, and there won't be.
Is there bungee cord support for signs?
@godlykrieger
I do believe you can just give them the item for the "fire flower". Not sure of the ID though
How do i give a kit a special item (like the fire flower)?
I have a problem players can only chose random class and if I set a price the class isn't in the shop pls help! Btw I loooove your plugin!
@TarikBerk
It actually is. I quite like it honestly. Never been able to fix it tough xD
@MrSugarCaney
Sometimes, 2 crystals spawn. Is that a bug? Drag this image to a new tab:
Helo plis you Map FROM prints.
@TarikBerk
Plugin interference. Maybe you could put CrystalQuest in a seperate world so you can set up world-specific permissions where you deny anyone access to factions. That maybe could work.
Players can type "/f home" to teleport to their faction homes despite getting an error message saying that they can't execute that command.
Also, even though I've set-up worldguard correctly, only OPs can damage other players.
@mike_x1
Yes, indeed it is. :) But if you want to be sure, test it on a local test world .
Hey there,
is it possible to put the cq lobby and arenas in the same world where everything else is?
I need this because I want to make a freebuild server with only ONE world but I also don't want my players to lose their items when they enter the arena.... So is the plugin able to save the inventories and give the items back to the players after the game?
