¶ Initial Setup
- Download the plugin
- Put "PlotSquared-Bukkit-5.x.jar" into your
pluginsfolder - If you don't have it installed already, WorldEdit 7.1 or higher.
- It is also recommended that you use a world management plugin, such as Hyperverse or Multiverse.
- Reboot the server and PlotSquared will generate all necessary files.
Note: "AsyncWorldEdit" instead of WorldEdit is not directly supported by us, please consult the plugin author if you encounter issues with AWE.
Note: The self-made plugin "FastAsyncWorldEdit" instead of WorldEdit is not perfect stable at this time, but you can try it.
¶ Step 1. Database Configuration
This section explains how to configure PlotSquared database access.
PlotSquared allows the database types "MYSQL" and "SQLite". If you don't know the difference of both systems you find a short compare at here.
Tip: You can convert to MySQL/SQLite at any time using the
/plot databasecommand.
Warn: Please remember that you can use MySQL or SQLite, but not both at the same time.
¶ Database: SQLite
If you don't have a MySQL database, storage will be automatically set to "SQLite" and you may skip this step.
(The config file is located at /plugins/PlotSquared/config/storage.yml.)
¶ Database: MySQL
Enabling MySQL also supports other storage types like MariaDB:
- Navigate to
/plugins/PlotSquared/config/storage.yml - Configure the settings for your MySQL database.
¶ Step 2. Create New Plotworld
You can now create the plotworld.
¶ Setp for a default world
If you don't need a vanilla-world you can set up the default world as plotworld.
Note: For a default world these steps are required!
- (Stop your server and) delete the vanilla worlds
world,world_netherandworld_the_endlike selected below:
- Then, open the file called
server.properties; it's stored in your server's root folder.
- Find the following line:
level-name=world
- Replace
worldwith the name of your plot world. In this example case, we would need to name it toplotworld.
So it looks like this:
level-name=plotworld
- Edit the bukkit.yml:
-
Open the file called
bukkit.yml(it's also stored in your server's root folder).Now we need to tell the server which generator based on the world should be generated, otherwise your world generation will be messed up. -
The value we are going to edit does not exist in the file yet, so we need to add this at the bottom of the file:
worlds:
plotworld:
generator: PlotSquared
- Then you can follow the next steps.
¶ Creation via Plot Setup
You can create a plotworld using the setup wizard. Use /plot setup to start the wizard.
Every step requires the command, e.g. /plot setup PlotSquared and replace "PlotSquared" with your desired value.
When you are done, PlotSquared will teleport you to the generated plotworld.
¶ Creation via Hyperverse
The self-made plugin Hyperverse will (in most cases) automatically detect your plotworld as it is being generated by PlotSquared. If it doesn't, you can use /hv import <worldname> PlotSquared to import it.
¶ Creation via Multiverse
If you use the plugin Multiverse you can create a world using the command /mv create <worldname> normal -g PlotSquared.
Tip: At now you can edit the
/plugins/Multiverse-Core/worlds.ymlto change the default world options like "pvp", "respawnWorld", "spawning" and more.
¶ Manually switch generator set in Bukkit.yml (optional)
Sometimes PlotSquared will be unable to switch the generators for your plotworlds. If this is the case, you will need to manually switch the generator over while the server is stopped.
Open the file called bukkit.yml (it's stored in your server's root folder) and change the generator while the server is stopped using the following format:
worlds:
plotworld:
generator: PlotSquared
Replace plotworld with the name of your plotworld. (Help-Page of bukkit)
¶ (optional) Step 3: Adding Road Schematic
Road schematics can be added after world generation. You are able to change the road schematic whenever you want, however, this will only affect new generation. You can run /plot regenallroads in order to manually change already-generated roads.
First you want to build a road surrounding your plot. The road includes the walls and the full intersection. Therefore you have to build over the intersections as well, we recommend going 3 or 4 blocks ahead.
Note: Currently, you need a symmetrical border contruction for the schematic. Otherwise you get construction mistakes.
Here is a link of the parts of a road schematic you have to create. The pink parts are just a recommendation, but the past has shown us that it's good to add them before creating the road schematic:
Once you have created the road, stand in the plot and execute the following command:
/plot createroadschematic
Tip: Road schematics are stored in plugins/PlotSquared/schematics/GEN_ROAD_SCHEMATIC/
worldname. Once creating a road schem, it can be copied to a newworldnamefolder in this directory, providing the schematic for generating a new world.
To test the schematic (recommended), stand in another plot that was not used to create the schematic. The following will regenerate the road for the plot you are standing in:
/plot debugroadregen plot
If all is well, you can begin regenerating the roads in the entire map. Open up your console and execute the following command (this may take a while / also cause lag spikes):
/plot regenallroads <world> [height]
- The height option, if specified, changes the amount of air to paste above the schematic.
Another way: you stop the server and delete the world-chunks. With the restart the new generated chunks follow your plotworld setup.
