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. :)
Upcoming Features
- For v1.4, Minecraft 1.13.
- 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!

@MrSugarCaney
Im testing his last DEVS
@tgndev
Ok, next time ill use the ticket page!
@cancabron
that's my old problem. I report it to MrSugarCaney, 0.2.1 critical bug fix. Client crashes when game ends. Solution: I use the development builds. What version are you using?
@cancabron
:D Will dig into it.
I did actually disable the pvp at the end of the game, weird. If you post the bugs each in a seperate Ticket, that will make it a lot easier for me. That way I have a clear to-do-list :) But keep all bugs (and enhancements) seperate. (So you could add a ticket with a type of 'enhancements' to the language files and set the priority to Low ;))
@MrSugarCaney
Yeahh! It works perfect but I found some bugs, when the game finish, if you die with a bomb or something, the client doesnt respawn and crashes. Maybe you can remove the pvp when the battle ends.
Other is when you tries to shot with the bow when you are on the CrystalEnd, it fails.
Other bug is server crash when you spawns a creeper near an endercrystal... I get this:
Finally ive another suggestion, a language file.
Good work! :D
@Majkrafci
I'm really glad that you want to help me fix bugs, but I am much more pleased if you tested it and discover the bugs ;) I currently fix bugs faster than they are being discovered.
@MrSugarCaney
Please, you need this source code!
I also want to correct errors etc.
@cancabron
It's on the wiki already. But it's as easy as a piece of cake: Just (re)place the (block beneath the crystal) corresponding wool block underneath it.
In this example we use team Blue. Step 1 Place a light blue wool block. Step 2 Stand on the block. Step 3 Run the command /cq crystalspawn <arena>... And you're done! You might even repeat this proces a few more times. This means that Team Blue can't smash these crystals. Is as simple as that.
@Majkrafci
Didn't read the latest comments? I only push work towards GitHub when I'm uploading to BukkitDev (Beta/Release). And thanks :)
@MrSugarCaney
