You can disable this option and manually colorize your MOTD. ### server.sample This lets you specify a custom message under the player count in the server list. ## server.timezone This lets you customize which timezone various messages appear in (e.g. ban message end date) ## Titles ### titles.masterbuilders A list of players who will show up as a masterbuilder. ### titles.owners A list of players who will show up as an owner. ## Banning ### banning.ban_url The URL to be used when a player sees the ban message. The full ban message can be changed in `messages.yml`. ## Chat ### chat.enabled **Default:** `true` Determines if the chat system should be enabled. It's useful to turn this off if you're using permissions and want to use prefixes from another plugin instead. ### chat.max_tag_length **Default:** `64` The maximum length a tag may be in game. ### chat.name-color **Default:** `` The default color a tag should be if a player doesn't specify any colors. ## System ### system **Options:** `ranks` or `permissions` This determines how Plex's command system works. If `ranks` is selected, Plex will use a ranking system and give all players operator status. If `permissions` is selected, no players are given operator. Instead, every command will have a permission attached to it which can be assigned in any permission system. It is **highly** recommended to use permissions if you are running Plex behind a proxy such as BungeeCord or Velocity. These proxies **rely** on permissions to give proper commands to players. On some misconfigured instances, if a player is opped, they may inherit *all* available permissions from the proxy. ## Data ### data.central.storage **Options:** `sqlite`, `mariadb`, `mongodb` Select which database software you would like to use. `sqlite` is the default. Note that if you change which data storage you use, no data will be transferred. ### data.central.user This is the username for whichever database software you use. Note that `sqlite` does not require a username. ### data.central.password This is the password for whichever database software you use. Note that `sqlite` does not require a password. ### data.central.hostname This is the hostname for whichever database software you use. Note that `sqlite` does not require a hostname. ### data.central.port This is the port for whichever database software you use. Note that `sqlite` does not require a port. ### data.central.db This is the name for whichever database software you use. Note that `sqlite` does not require a name. ### data.side.enabled **Options:** `true` / `false` This will enable Plex's Redis functionality. ### data.side.auth **Options:** `true` / `false` This is whether authentication mode for Redis is turned on or not. :::info It is highly recommended to have Redis authentication turned on. ::: ### data.side.hostnane This is the hostname for Redis. This is required for Redis to work. ### data.side.port This is the port that Redis is listening on. This is requird for Redis to work. ### data.side.password This is the password for your Redis instance. Note that this can be left blank if authentication is turned off. ## Entity wiping ### entitywipe_list All items in the list will not be wiped. By default, this includes all mobs as these can be purged with the `mobpurge` command. ## Autowiping ### autowipe.enabled **Options:** `true` / `false` Should autowiping be enabled? ### autowipe.interval **Default:** 300 How often, in seconds, to automatically wipe entities. Default is 5 minutes. ### autowipe.entities A list of entities to automatically wipe. ## Blocking ### blocked_blocks A list of blocks that should be blocked. ### blocked_entities A list of entities that should be blocked. ## Global gamerules ### global_gamerules These gamerules apply to all worlds on the server. Gamerules in the generated worlds will override the global gamerules. ## Worlds An infinite amount of worlds can be generated from the configuration file. A few are automatically generated by default. The format for generating new worlds is as follows: ```yaml title=/plugins/Plex/config.yml : name: "Human readable world name" entry: # The permission required to enter the world, optional permission: "plex.world.worldname.enter" # Minimum rank requirement, optional requiredLevels: - "Rank.ADMIN" # The message to be shown if a player does not have permission, optional message: "You do not have permission to enter this world." modification: # The permission required to modify the world, optional permission: "plex.world.worldname.modify" # Minimum rank requirement, optional requiredLevels: - "Rank.ADMIN" # The message to be shown if a player does not have permission, optional message: "You do not have permission to modify this world." gameRules: - "doWeatherCycle;false" - "doDaylightCycle;false" parameters: grass_block: 1 dirt: 32 stone: 16 bedrock: 1 ``` Note that in the `parameters` section, this is how the world should actually be generated. The order is from top to bottom. In the example above, a world will generate with one grass layer, 32 layers of dirt, 16 layers of stone, and one layer of bedrock. For a list of Ranks and Titles, you can refer to the Javadocs: [Ranks](https://docs.plex.us.org/javadoc/server/dev/plex/rank/enums/Rank.html), [Title](https://docs.plex.us.org/javadoc/server/dev/plex/rank/enums/Title.html). The gamerule section is what gamerules are set for the world by default. The syntax is the official gamerule name, a semicolon, and either `true` or `false`. ## Updates update_repo The repo to use for update checking. update_branch The branch to use for update checking. ## Debugging **Options:** `true` / `false` The `debug` option is standalone and enables additional logging. This may be useful for diagnosing issues as more information will be displayed in the console. It is recommended to keep this option turned off.
