Posted Apr 1, 2013is it possible to only have some plugins running per world? so if i only want a plugin running in creative, and not in survival world, then i can do /plugman world disable/enable <PluginName> <WorldName> PM me if you dont get me, but im not really sure how to phrase it

Yes if you think reload is etter then its fine :)
But reloading bukkit means reloading all internal stuff.
And restarting means entirely closing the server and starting it.

Posted Mar 31, 2013@lenis0012 I guess it's a matter of taste, but I usually associate reloading with unloading and loading a plugin.
@Nire_Inicana You have to be a bit more specific. It's worked for me on every 1.5+ build I tried.

Posted Mar 16, 2013My plugin doesn't seem to be saving/reloading to disk with saveConfig() and reloadConfig() methods except when restarting the entire server. It works fine without PlugMan (no other changes). Any thoughts?
