Match configuration

Important things to check

• Make sure no players are opped before anyone joins the server.
• Create a spawn platform high up (above y=128) at 0,0 and do /setspawn while standing on it. The plugin will automatically ensure that players joining the match are forced to remain there (if they drop below y=128 they will be teleported back to spawn).
• If you don't want to use this feature, set the spawn point to any location below y=128

Configuring the match

When you start a new world, a file called uhcmatch.yml is created in the main world folder. This file contains all the same options as config.yml, and in addition, also contains:

• Players' start locations
• Points of interest
• World border
• Names of players and teams (if saved using /uhc save teams).

You can edit this file manually to configure teams and players ahead of time.

---

If you prefer, you can do all of the configuration from within the game, using the following commands:

/uhc params

List all the available configuration parameters and their current values

/uhc set parameter value

Sets the value of the specified configuration parameter

/players and /teams

These two commands can be used to view, create and delete players and teams. For example:

• /teams lists all current teams, and /players lists all players
• /teams add python Monty Python - would create a team called "Monty Python" with the identifier "python".
• /players add dead_parrot python - would add a player called "dead_parrot" to the aforementioned team.
• /players addall is a useful command for free-for-all matches, which adds all online players to the match.

For full details of all the available commands, please see the Command list.
