Server

server.name

The name of your server goes here and is used throughout Plex.

server.motd

The text here will appear on the server list.

server.colorize_motd

This determines if the message of the day should randomly be colorized. You can disable this option and manually colorize your MOTD.

Banning

banning.message

This message will appear whenever a player tries to join the server, but is banned. You can use any color coding you would like here.

Commands

comamnds.permissions

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.

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 enabled 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 if authentication is turned off.

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:

  <world_name>:
    name: 'Human readable name'
    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.

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.
