Races
Each player can have a single race. Players begin as the race with "default" set to true. /race list
(or /races
) shows the races available to the players (taking into account any permissions.
Players on the default race can change to any other, but are then forever locked. Just use /race [racename]
to select the race.
Race Configuration
The /plugins/LegendQuest/races/
folder contains the available races for selection.
Each race config file looks like this.

The above uses all the possible settings to make a complete race for the example. And here's an example of config for a default race.

default
- The race that players begin as. Players of this 'race' are allowed to change once (if other races exist), to disable races just have a single race set to default.
groups
- A list of groups that this race is a member of. This is used to group races together when setting permissions for classes.
basehealth
- The base maximum HP for the race (before any class modifiers). One HP is half a heart and health values over healthScale are displayed scaled to healthScale (but only for display).
basespeed
- The walking speed of this race. Normal walking speed is 0.2 - 0.4 would be twice as fast.
baseMana
- The base mana used to power skills.
manaPerSecond
- The amount of mana regained per second.

- Each stat modifies the base star for the player. Players have a random statline based on their uuid, or all 12s depending on the server config. Each stat effect attribute checks for various elements. For example strength (STR) effects damage, dexterity( DEX) effects hitting/dodging, constitution (CON) hitpoints, intelligence (INT) skill points, wisdom (WIS) enchanting and Charisma (CHR) trading.

dissallowedWeapons
dissallowedTools
dissallowedArmour
- These sections set the allowed and disallowed items for each race by material.
By default each item is disallowed unless named as allowed in a race or class. Items marked as disallowed get the final say, prevent use/wearing even is allowed by a different class. The data.yml file lists groups of materials that you can refer to for groups.
For example, the above config example allows leather and chain armour, but then disallows BOOTS. Meaning that Hobbits can never wear Boot type armour even if a class would later allow.
