Maintenance

It's my regret to say that I am no longer maintaining SkyWars. This was one of the first publicly published SkyWars plugins, and it was great while it lasted. But today, it's not likely to function on the latest servers, and it will not be receiving updates.

Thank you.

Updating to SkyWars v2.1.0

The first publicly released SkyWars plugin is now receiving intermittent updates, and has full support for Minecraft 1.9.

SkyWars v2.1.0 and above use a new arena backend, which comes with faster arena creation, and no longer requires SkyWarsBaseWorld.

If you were previously using SkyWars v2.0.1 or earlier, SkyWars will transfer all custom arenas to the new backend, so please back up all SkyWars and arena data before updating. If you were previously using SkyWars v1.4.5 or earlier, the update will also convert all user data from name-base to UUID-based storage.

PSA: Vote on new features

I haven't been completely active lately with updates, but I'll be adding things when I can. Due to my limited time, I'll be implementing the features with the highest votes first, on the feature poll.

Note: There's a new poll as of June 15th, 2016! If you haven't voted since then, click here!

Features

  • Integrates seamlessly into any server, survival, creative or otherwise.
  • Join the SkyWars queue from any world, and you'll be transported back exactly where you came from once the game ends!
  • SkyWars saves gamemode, health, hunger, potion status, and pretty much anything else you'd need to keep track of.
  • Use an unlimited number of arenas at the same time! The only limit is your server player capacity.
  • Use SkyWars's kit system to let players pay money each game for a kit, and give access to extra kits to donors through permissions support!
  • Craft your server's unique SkyWars experience!
  • Create custom kits just by filling your inventory with the items you want!
  • Create arenas without any entering items into config files! Just build the arena, set the spawns with /sws and save it!
  • Change any and all messages sent by SkyWars to players in messages.yml!
  • Support for randomly filled chests!
  • Support for portals to step into and join the queue.
  • Custom economy rewards for winning games or killing in games.

Translations / Localization

All player messages fully translated to English and German, and partially translated to Spanish, French, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese and Russian. Partial translations were at one point complete, but don't have some of the newer messages translated.

Change the locale SkyWars uses by setting locale in main-config.yml.

To help out SkyWars by translating it into your local language, go to SkyWars-Translations/Translating. Test out your localization as well by copying into messages.yml!

MCStats / Plugin metrics

SkyWars uses two services to report statistics. The first service, MCStats / Plugin Metrics, reports data to http://mcstats.org every 15 minutes. As of version 2.1.7, the second service, plugin-statistics, reports a small subset of that data to https://dabo.guru every hour.

All data gathered by MCStats can be viewed at http://mcstats.org/plugin/SkyWars. As MCStats is a relatively well-known service, I'll let you visit their website for more information.

To opt out from MCStats, change opt-out: false to opt-out: true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml

The other service, plugin-statistics, is currently unique to SkyWars. It reports data every hour, starting one hour from server startup. The data reported consists solely of: the plugin name, the plugin version, the server version, the online player count, and an instance UUID. The plugin-statistics UUID is reset every server startup to a random number, and is not stored in any file.

All data gathered can be viewed at https://dabo.guru/statistics/skywars/.

Note: this statistics service is no longer running. To avoid getting errors when trying to submit statistics, I recommend disabling it.

For more information, and a copy of both the plugin-side and server-side code, visit https:github.com/daboross/plugin-statistics.

To disable plugin-statistics, change report-statistics: true to report-statistics: false in plugins/SkyWars/main-config.yml.

SkyWars Report

When the /sw report command is used, SkyWars will submit a debug report for your server including server version, a list of all plugins, and other information to gist.github.com.

SkyWars will not publicly post information about your server to gist.github.com unless an admin uses the /sw report command. If you want to completely disable this functionality, add the following line to your main-config.yml file: disable-report: true.
