Instructions

This plugin is about teleportation. That is why I have added a teleportation machine! To get started, you can place a teleporter by doing /addtp. Once your teleporter is placed, you can click on the center block to set the frequency! You need to have two teleporters with the same frequency for this to work. After you have set up two teleporters with the same frequency, you can stand on the center block to initiate the teleportation.

Don't worry, we made a video! Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5HXS0l-VwQ

First things first, you need to have the Java JDK8 installed. You can find the appropriate version here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Then you need to have git installed. You can find the appropriate version for your OS here: https://git-scm.com/

There are no other required dependencies, however Maven is optional if you want to set up your own development environment outside of what we do for you.

Running

If you're on Windows, you'll want to run all of these commands inside Git Bash, which is a program installed when you installed Git. You can paste by right clicking inside of the window.

If you don't have this Git repository cloned yet, click on clone or download. If you have an SSH key on your account, use the SSH link. Otherwise use the HTTPS link if you want to use your GitHub username and password.

Then run

git clone <link>

To run your server, do:

./run-server.sh

On first run this will download and compile the Spigot version that you're using for the contest. Because you're using this exact version of Spigot for the entire contest, you can safely use CraftBukkit and Minecraft Server code.

This wrapper around the Spigot server has a few extra features that are not included inside of regular Spigot. If you type stop to stop the Minecraft Server, it'll automatically recompile your code and restart the server. To fully stop the server, type exit to safely stop the server and exit the recompilation loop. If you're on Windows, you won't have a exit command and will instead be asked every loop if you want to recompile.
