SkyWars
SkyWars is back!
SkyWars is back! 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!

- 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/.
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.
Credits
Both default maps, Skyblock Warriors and Water Warriors, were created by SwipeShot.

Currently SkyWars will only start games once the maximum number of people have entered the queue. There is a pending feature which will allow a start timer, but I haven't really had time to implement many features at all lately and it isn't on the top of the list.
Is your issue when the maximum number of people have joined, or trying to start without enough people?

To stop SkyWars from loading it it should be possible just to remove the '- water-warriors' line from main-config.yml

Posted May 5, 2016@tball2 Thanks!
I definitely do need to work on the tutorial more, it doesn't really explain how to do things as much as I'd like it to. The way which chests are randomized isn't actually stored in chests.yml right now - it's in each individual arena file.
That's a good idea for a command to add though! I'll see if I can do that.
In the meantime, after setting up an arena, it should be possible to edit the arena file in SkyWars/arenas/<name>.yml. There is a list of all chests in that arena in that file, with a configuration option to enable randomization. The chests are listed by x/y/z position, so it may take some trial and error to randomize the right ones, but it should be possible. Hope that helps!

Posted May 4, 2016Hey, man great plugin! I did the update and am no longer getting that error. I do have a question, though. I was wondering if you could make a more descriptive tutorial on how to set up the chest.yml to my liking...more specifically how to set the locations of the chests themselves. It would be great if you could add something like /createchestrandom and have a random chest spawn where a player is looking or standing and it automatically is configured to use the chests.yml file.

If the plugin isn't starting, please file a bug ticket. I can't effectively reply to comments at all as quickly as bug reports :/.
@der_Kernschatten
Basically, the plugin makes the user type /sw join when they walk over a join portal.
@dawgs_rules
You've written "ture" rather than "true" under "debug" in your config file.
@p4bl013
Hm, skywars should only ever spawn players in an arena which is enabled. Could the random cave be the water-warriors arena?
If this is still happening, could you create a ticket, and include the output of `/sw report`?
@LeShmowzow
Ah, yeah, I definitely should add spectating to the poll. That is a planned feature for some time in the future.
As for teams, there is a little bit of support, but it is semi-hidden. In your arena file, a file like arenas/skyblock-warriors.yml, if you change "team-size" to something besides 1, then you can have teams in the game. The teams are random (no choosing partners), but there is some support there.
@LeShmowzow
There's support for chest randomization, if that's what you mean. In the arena file mentioned above, it is possible to choose one or two specific chests (not all of them) and only enable randomization for them.
@Porama6400
I'm unsure what you are meaning, could you elaborate?
@tball2
If you are getting this in the latest version, could you submit a ticket? That bug shouldn't exist any more.

Posted Apr 10, 2016This plugin seems nice, I plan on using it for my server, but can you add a setup for spectation after you die? That's my main request, but also having teams would be cool. I voted for what you should add next already, but these 2 weren't on there so I posted them here. I can you wondering, I voted to add the random items to chests, voting on the maps and waiting for a set player amount.

I'm not the dev, I'm waiting on my own question, but I can see you have a config problem. You can either hunt that or if you delete your config, the plugin will build a new working file on next restart.

Posted Apr 4, 2016After setting up a custom arena (setting pos1 and pos2, setting up spawns with addspawn, and saving the arena) on the first game the sky appears black (void?) and a random chunk appears floating just off to the side of the map. Subsequent games seem to spawn players into some random cave. I updated the plugin to the latest and I tried building my arena in a Superflat world instead of a void world, but it still happens. Seems like a great plugin and I'd love to use it, so any help would be much appreciated. :)

I know how to fix this. 1. Go to your skywars plugin folder. 2. Go to your arenas folder. 3. Click the folder with the name of the map where you want random items in your chests (.yml file! Not the .blocks file!) 4. Change everywhere where is (randomisize : false) in your folder to (randomisize : true) 5. Restart your server. 6. Play a game with items in your chests.

Posted Apr 3, 2016I know why my /sw command don't work. It is because I changed the chests.yml file with other items. Is this intention? I don't have any crash reports from this plugin.

With the addition of arena template update, it is recommended that the arena be somewhere accessible after you finish creating it - thus a void world really wouldn't be that useful. Just make it somewhere in the sky above one of your regular worlds - there is no configuration editing necessary when using '/sws save'
@SirrrPig
This error seems to be cut off. Could you pastebin the full error? You can reply in comments, but I'll get back to you a lot sooner if you create a ticket.
@GalaxyTime
Pastebin any errors in console. Submit a ticket, or reply here. I'll reply faster for a ticket.
