King of the Hill
King of the Hill is a minecraft plugin designed to resemble the popular King of the Hill combative experience. The objective of this game is to control a small location known as the hill. The hill is a rotating area which cycles through configurable locations. Both red and blue teams try to assert dominance of the hill to score points. The first team to reach a certain score wins. Have fun using the plugin! Any features or bug requests would be greatly appreciated if you let me know here.

Getting Started
To get started using King of the Hill, you will need to download one of the JAR files and throw it in your plugins directory. You can read a quick tutorial on installing King of the Hill.
King of the Hill is easy once you get in the hang of it, but this can be a bit taxing. I've taken the time in starting a whole wiki and FAQ for you to use to your leisure.
Once the plugin has been loaded, you need to create your very own arena if you haven't done so already. Take a gander at the in-progress Arena Setup page to become an expert at setting up arenas. After you finish setup, you and your friends are ready to play!

Thank you to Numero Uno for making this video tutorial.
Auto-Updater
All players with permission koth.admin.update or koth.admin will receive updates whenever a new file is updated. However, you may disable this in the config.yml file by changing 'check-for-updates' to false. Additionally, if 'check-for-updates' is true, and 'update-cmds' is true, you may use /koth update in-game to update to the newest version, provided an update is available. The auto-updater is not intrusive in any way and simply allows me to push updates to as many users as quickly as possible, but if you feel uncomforted by it you may disable it as you wish :)

Ok i removed the compass finder and it works fine. I now have 3 different hills and I see the beacon feature is a great idea. However some times the message of the hill has changed and the beacon doesn't show up. Even though the hill has changed.
Any idea when the new update will be out?

"This error is being thrown when a hill locator (compass) is used and I think has been fixed. Until testing is done (and a new version is out); if you are still receiving errors try and disable the hill-compass. It seems that you only having one hill is causing the issue, so alternatively make a second hill at the same spot. Granted, if this fixes the issue, you will keep seeing "hill has switched" messages, etc, when it really has not." https://github.com/AoHRuthless/King-of-the-Hill/issues/2#issuecomment-43824770
Its not recognising players, i teleported to the co-ords set to the hill in the config. And no points get added on.
@albinoh
I don't think setting it to blank works. Instead, try giving your players 'air:1'
In the next update, there will be a configurable option to not give prizes to players.
How do I take off all prize Items In general?
I just want it so they Go in with their selected kits and come out, no reward items.
@albinoh
You might be affected by a bug that has appeared.
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/king-of-the-hill/pages/important-bug-new-users/ goes through on how to fix it.
I installed the plug-in (with no vault) and I reloaded and everything and it says I have the plug-in but It won't work. /koth doesn't work, /koth addarena etc. Do you what this might be? Does the plug-in need any other plug-ins to run? Please reply, thanks!

@tom_op
In my free time, I plan to make a tutorial guide that covers setting up an arena. For now though, what do you need help with? Make sure you are using v0.9.44 or later or the plugin is way too buggy to even use.
i can't make a arena. i need help
Source?
@dagurucraft
Thanks for the offer! However, I don't need a tester at this time (I am fortunate to have a server and two accounts). If I need any services I will be sure to let you know!
need any testers? feel free to skype me : kamo287
would be willing to throw it on our server and test it + config it!
@therennon
Thanks! Keep your eyes peeled, because the first actual update will come soon (in the testing process)!
Yeah! amazing, downloading...
@pookeythekid
Thank you for the support!
There are a couple reasons why there is no beta build out for this plugin:
I apologize for not having a version out but I found it necessary to hold on it.
Nice plugin. Hope you finish. :)
