Trivia-Plugin

Welcome to Trivia!

With Trivia, you can host a chat game to put your players to the test! Use an in-game menu to create your own questions/answers and set rewards for winners. Then, start the game with /trivia start, and your questions will start to show up in chat. The player to answer the question on the screen first wins that round, and whoever answers the most by the end of the match is the winner and runs off with the rewards.

Customize Questions and Answers

In trivia, you can view all your questions you created from a graphical menu, as shown below.
Clicking on a particular question will let you modify the question/answer or remove it entirely.
Create new questions by clicking on the emerald icon, and then a chat prompt will show up to set the new question and answer.

Customize Rewards

It can't be trivia without rewards!

Winners of Trivia will receive any rewards set by you. Like questions, you can view and modify rewards from the menu. You can configure the rewards for first place, second place, and third place winners. Obviously, you'd want to give the best rewards to the first place winner! You can also set up per-round rewards (ender chest), which are given to the person who wins a round each round.

Drag in any items the winner will receive in the empty slots (with any custom name/lore/enchants), and set money rewards (if vault is installed), experience points, and messages for the winner. Also, you can set commands as rewards from rewards.yml, so you can integrate with any other crates/points plugins you have!

The menu will look like this, and for this example, the first place winner will receive this cool stick: To save changes, simply exit out of the menu, and winners will receive these rewards on the next game.

Starting the Game

There are three ways a trivia game can start:

• From the menu, where you can adjust a few additional settings before starting
• From the chat, /trivia start <# of rounds>
• From scheduled games (more on that later)

When a trivia game starts, it'll give you a summary about the game. In this example, this trivia match will have a total of 30 questions, 15 seconds to answer each question, and no repeition of questions.

When Trivia starts, questions will be asked round by round. The first player to enter the answer into chat wins that round. If no one answers the question within the time limit, the round is skipped. Whoever wins the most amount of rounds at the end of the game wins Trivia and runs off with the prize!

Here is a screenshot of a game in progress (with 2 players):

During the game, a bar is shown on top of the screen to keep track of the game's progress.

After the game, winners are shown in chat and each winner is given a reward.

Schedule Games

Trivia can be hosted manually (through the menu or command), but they can also be configured to host automatically in intervals!

To enable this feature, set Scheduled games to true, and set Scheduled games interval to the gap in minutes between hosted games. Finally, set Scheduled games minimum players to the amount of players that are needed to be online for the hosted game to start!

Players can find out when the next game is scheduled to start by running /trivia schedule

Language Support

All messages in this plugin are in English by default, but this plugin features support for other languages by allowing for custom messages to be set in messages.yml. There are placeholders to fill in values with their meanings explained in the file.

You can also change the colors of the messages to your preferances using & color codes or hexadecimal codes. To use hexadecimal, use the format [#ABCDEF] for the color #ABCEDEF.
