${project.name} ${version}

Getting Started

Thanks for choosing ${project.name}! When you first install ${project.name}, nothing will be enabled, so you will need to switch on the features that you need to use, whenever it is convenient for you.

Common Issues

What are the other files that come with the download?

Inside the folder "contrib" of the download are the following files:

blacklist_table.sql is for using a database with the blacklist feature.
region_storage.sql is for using a database with the region protection feature.
region_storage_update_20110325.sql is for updating your region protection database (if you're using it) if your database was made before March 25, 2011.

${project.name} doesn't seem to work.

Two common mistakes include forgetting to install WorldEdit (${project.name} needs it), or making a syntax error in one of ${project.name}'s configuration files (this is very fatal unfortunately, and can be caused by a single character typed in the wrong place). Try asking in IRC to see whether anyone can help you.

How do I protect my spawn, or another area?

Read the area protection tutorial on our wiki. For more detailed information, be sure to read about region protection on the wiki. Note that if you can't build in spawn, don't forget that Minecraft comes with its own limited spawn protection that you have to disable (see below).

I or others don't have permission to build.

Unless you copied configuration files from an older installation of ${project.name}, your problem is either caused by another plugin, or by not disabling the built-in spawn protection of the Minecraft server.

No one can build in a region I made!

Make sure that:

You didn't change the 'build' flag, because protection is on by default when a new region is made. Setting the build flag to 'deny' means that no one can modify the things inside the region.
That you added the player as an owner or member of the region. If you are using a group (g:groupName), you may have to give the group the permission of group.groupName for ${project.name} to recognize it.
That you disabled spawn protection. The Minecraft server has an automatic spawn protection feature where only 'ops' can build in a definable radius around spawn (by default, it is 16 blocks). If you are on Minecraft 1.4 or newer, edit "spawn-protection" in server.properties; otherwise, modify bukkit.yml and change the spawn-radius setting.
That it's not another plugin causing you trouble. The error messages of ${project.name} are of a dark red shade. If the color of the "no permission" message is not that color, it is not ${project.name}.

Everyone can build in a region I made!

Make sure that:

You didn't change the 'build' flag, because protection is on by default when a new region is made. Setting the build flag to 'allow' means that anyone can modify the things inside the region.
That it's not caused by another plugin. If players are getting a dark red permission denied message, but they can still build, another plugin is likely causing the conflict.

Where do I report bugs or suggest ideas?

Make sure you are using the latest version of ${project.name}, try asking in IRC first (see "Need help?" above) if it's a problem, and if you think you've found a bug or have a great suggestion to provide, please report it to our issue tracker.
