MinigamesLib: Open SkyWars
MinigamesLib: Open SkyWars
Open SkyWars recoded with MGLib. Usually skywars is fought on islands where you start with some gear in a chest and build up your base or just get some weapons and attack others.
<color red>> MGSkyWars v1.5.1 works with MinigamesLib 1.12, please update if you use the new MinigamesLib version.<</color>>
Setup
You need to install MinigamesLib for the plugin to work
Also, you'll need Vault for economy rewards to work.
- /sw setmainlobby set the main lobby where all join signs will be
- /sw setlobby [arena] set the waiting lobby
- /sw setspawn [arena] will give you a dragon egg which you can rightclick multiple times to set multiple spawns
- /sw setbounds [arena] low sets the lower left corner of the map
- /sw setbounds [arena] high sets the higher right corner of the map (so that you got a cuboid)
- /sw savearena [arena]
You can now set a join sign (optionally). Lines:
- SkyWars
- [arena]
Here's a small help image I drew some time really quick for you to understand how boundaries should be set up:

Config
There are a few config files (config.yml, classes.yml, arenas.yml, messages.yml, stats.yml) which are mostly self explanatory. Be aware that guns.yml is not used in this minigame!
If you use the chests.yml feature, be aware that chests are only getting generated when you join the game and open one, not after you save the arena.
config: default_max_players: 4 # default amount of maximum players that are allowed to join an arena default_min_players: 2 # default amount of minimum players that can join an arena lobby_countdown: 30 # amount of time in seconds to countdown in lobby ingame_countdown: 10 # amount of time in seconds to countdown ingame before the final start rewards: economy: true economy_reward: 10 # You'll need Vault for economy to work item_reward: false item_reward_ids: 264*1;11*1 # 264 being the id, you can specify an amount (the '*1') and enchantments (e.g. 264#DAMAGE_ALL:2*64 would be sharpness 2 on a stack of diamonds) command_reward: false command: pex user <player> add SKILLZ.* global_arenas_size: 30 # not used in this minigame
You can also specify data on an item reward. If you would want 32 enchanted red wool blocks, you'd adjust the config to: 35:14#DAMAGE_ALL:1*32, where :14 is the data for red, 35 the id for wool, and the rest as explained above.
Chests.yml
The chests.yml feature is optional, normally you can just fill the chests with stuff before saving. If you want them to be loaded dynamically in the game when someone opens a chest though, you can also use the chests.yml. Just set enabled: false to true and edit the chests. Be sure that the percentages add up to 100.
Be aware that chests are only getting generated when you join the game and open one, not after you save the arena.
Default chests.yml: (Here's how you use the item markup: https://github.com/instance01/MinigamesAPI/wiki/Default-Config-and-Item-Markup#item-markup)
config: enabled: false chests: chest1: items: 5*64;5*64;5*64;5*64;262*64;278*1 percentage: 5 chest2: items: 5*64;262*64;267*1 percentage: 20 chest3: items: 5*64;262*64 percentage: 25 chest4: items: 5*64 percentage: 50
Kits/Classes
There are 2 default classes with some startup gear (including bows and armor). You can adjust these in classes.yml.

Posted Nov 22, 2017I have a problem and i cant seem to find the solution.
When i try to add a join sign
"SkyWars
skywarsdesert"
for the lobby, it says, "skywarsdesert appears to be invalid. The arena appear to be not initialized, did you save the arena?"
But If I input "/sw join skywarsdesert", it work perfectly fine, and the main lobby, waiting lobby, and bounds are set, and i saved the arena.

Do you have World Guard? If so, and you have spawn protection on, try putting the spawn protection to 0 and see if that works.
