Event-PVP-Plugin - Description

A comprehensive Minecraft plugin that combines custom event management and PvP wager system into one unified solution.

Upgrading from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8

You do not need to replace your entire config.yml! The plugin will automatically add missing settings with default values. Here's the step-by-step guide:

Important Notes

Config Files: No manual config editing required! New options are automatically added to your existing config files with default values.
Web Interface: After upgrading, all new features (including optional integrations) will appear in the web interface where you can easily enable/disable them.
Language Files: These are NOT automatically overwritten! To get the new GUI localization keys, you need to update your language files.

Step-by-Step Upgrade

Back up your existing files (config.yml, worlds.yml, equipment.yml, messages_*.yml)
Stop your server
Replace the plugin JAR file with version 1.0.8
Update Language Files (IMPORTANT!):
- Option 1: Delete your old messages_*.yml files and restart the server to regenerate them with all new keys. Then manually reapply any customizations.
- Option 2: Manually merge the new messages.gui.* keys from the updated language files into your existing customized files.
Start your server - the plugin will handle the rest!
Enable New Features (optional):
- Open the web interface
- Navigate to the integrations section
- Enable/disable the new features (PvPManager, AJLeaderboards, DecentHolograms) as desired
- Save your changes

🌍 Multilingual Support: Available in 8 Languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Chinese)

Important Dependencies

⚠️ Multiverse-Core (REQUIRED)

This plugin fundamentally requires Multiverse-Core for proper operation:

World Loading: Loads event/arena worlds when matches start
World Cloning: Creates temporary world copies from templates
World Regeneration: Resets worlds after events/matches
World Unloading: Unloads worlds to save server resources

Without Multiverse-Core, the plugin will have limited functionality and may not work correctly.

⚠️ Multiverse-Inventories (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED)

Multiverse-Inventories is essential for proper inventory restoration. Here's why:

The Problem:

When players join an event or PvP match, they are teleported to a different world
Their inventory is cleared and replaced with event/match equipment
When returning to the main world, they need their original inventory back

The Solution: Multiverse-Inventories handles this automatically:

Separate Inventories: Each world group (main, event, pvp) has its own inventory
Automatic Switching: When players change worlds, their inventory is automatically restored
No Data Loss: Player inventories are preserved by Multiverse-Inventories

Without Multiverse-Inventories:

The plugin has a fallback inventory backup system, but it's still experimental and buggy
Players may lose items or experience inventory issues
Inventory restoration is not guaranteed to work correctly

Recommended Setup:

Step 1: Install Plugins

Install Multiverse-Core
Install Multiverse-Inventories

Step 2: Configure World Groups (Command Line)

You can use the guided command /mvinv group or direct commands to set up your groups.

Option A: Guided Setup

Run /mvinv group
Select "create"
Name your group (e.g., "event")
Add your event world names (e.g., "event_world", "pvp_arena")
Type "@" to continue
Select shares (type "all" to share everything within the group)
Type "@" to finish

Option B: Direct Commands For advanced users, you can use direct commands:

Create group: /mvinv create-group default,world,world_nether,world_the_end all
Add worlds to group: /mvinv add-worlds event,event_world
Add more shares: /mvinv add-share event all

Recommended World Groups:

default group: Main/survival worlds (e.g., world, world_nether, world_the_end)
event group: Event worlds (e.g., your event world names)
pvp group: PvP arena worlds (e.g., your arena world names)

Step 3: Verify Setup

Run /mvinv list to see your groups and /mvinv info <groupname> to confirm worlds are assigned correctly.

Wildcard Support (Optional): If you use dynamic world names (e.g., event worlds that are cloned/regenerated), you can use wildcards:

Example: event_* matches any world starting with "event_"
Example: r=arena_[0-9]+ (regex) matches numbered arena worlds

Other Dependencies

Vault (Required): For economy integration (money wagers)

Optional Integrations

The plugin optionally supports several external plugins to enhance functionality. None of these are required — the plugin works fully without them.

Leaderboards & Holograms

Supports AJLeaderboards, DecentHolograms, and PlaceholderAPI for displaying event and PvP statistics.

Enable via web interface (or manually in config.yml):

settings:
  integrations:
    ajleaderboards:
      enabled: true
    decentholograms:
      enabled: true

PlaceholderAPI placeholders (use these in AJLeaderboards boards or DecentHologram lines):

Placeholder	Stat
`%eventpvp_event_wins%`	Event wins
`%eventpvp_event_participations%`	Event participations
`%eventpvp_pvp_wins%`	PvP wager wins
`%eventpvp_pvp_losses%`	PvP wager losses
`%eventpvp_pvp_draws%`	PvP wager draws

All placeholders return plain numbers (e.g. 15, 0) for compatibility with AJLeaderboards. Requires PlaceholderAPI to be installed on the server.

PvPManager (Combat Tagging)

Supports PvPManager to automatically remove combat tags when players leave an event or match, preventing false combat logging penalties.

Enable via web interface (or manually in config.yml):

settings:
  integrations:
    pvpmanager:
      enabled: true

Requires PvPManager to be installed on the server. On plugin startup, you'll see a message confirming integration is active. Without PvPManager or with this setting disabled, the plugin falls back to a no-op implementation (no errors).
