FAQ
Answers to common installation, crafting, slot and language questions.
Does PacificSMP need another plugin?
No. There are no hard or soft plugin dependencies. The server downloads two small libraries on the first start, so allow internet access for that start.
Which server software and Minecraft versions work?
PacificSMP supports Spigot and Paper on Minecraft 1.21 and newer, including 26.x, with Java 21 or newer.
Why did my first start fail to load a library?
The server needs internet access on its first start to download BoostedYAML and HikariCP. Check that outbound access is available, then start the server again.
Why does a Dolphin not activate when I right click a block?
If the block has its own interaction, such as a chest or crafting table, it opens normally while you are not sneaking. Sneak and right click to use the Dolphin item instead.
Why did my recipe book not update after a reload?
Crafting uses the new recipe immediately. Paper refreshes recipe book entries during reload. On Spigot, players need to rejoin before the book shows the updated entries.
Does lowering the server cap delete a player's saved slot count?
No. It limits how many slots they can currently use. Their saved count is kept, so raising the cap can restore the additional usable slots. Active Dolphins that no longer fit are handled by the overflow setting.
Does a Slot Reroll ever return the same number?
No. It only chooses another number in the configured range. If no other number is available, it does not consume the item.
Can I use a Dolphin item as blue dye?
No. Tagged Dolphin items cannot complete unrelated crafting recipes and are blocked from loom and entity interactions.
Does PacificSMP provide PlaceholderAPI placeholders?
No, it does not currently provide PlaceholderAPI placeholders.
What does /resetplugin confirm reset?
It archives config.yml, dolphins.yml and the lang folder, then restores those files to their defaults. Player data is not touched.
