Common questions and quick fixes.
Does it work on Spigot, or only Paper?
It works on plain Spigot, and on Paper too. The plugin uses only the Spigot API. Minecraft 1.16.5 and Java 8 or newer. :::
Do I need any other plugins?
No hard dependencies. PlaceholderAPI is optional and only needed for the scoreboard placeholders and for exposing stats to other plugins. :::
Players fall back to world spawn when they leave. Why?
The global spawn and lobby are not set. Run /tt setgspawn and /tt setglobby. Until you do, the plugin uses the world spawn and warns you in the console.
:::
My arena will not start or open.
Run /tt setupstatus <arena>. It lists the steps still missing, such as corners, spawn, lobby, or a saved region. Finish those, then try again.
:::
Stats are not saving.
Check the console at startup. On the first run the plugin downloads the database drivers, which needs internet access. If it could not connect, it logs the reason and keeps running with stats disabled. For MySQL, double-check the host, port, and credentials in config.yml. See Storage and data.
:::
The server has no internet. Can I still use stats?
Yes. Copy the driver jars into plugins/TNTGamesCore/libs/ from a machine that has them, then start the server. See Storage and data.
:::
Scoreboards show text like %tntgames_total_players% instead of a number.
PlaceholderAPI is not installed. Install it to make those placeholders resolve. See Placeholders. :::
How do I change the games, items, or messages?
Edit config.yml for games and items, messages.yml for text, and scoreboard.yml for scoreboards. Run /tt reload to apply. See Configuration.
:::
Can I change the domain on the scoreboard?
Yes. The footer shows tntgames.com by default. Change it in scoreboard.yml.
:::
How do I set up MySQL for a network?
Set database.enabled: true in config.yml and fill in the connection details, then restart. The plugin creates its table on connect. See Storage and data.
