Common questions and quick fixes.

::::{dropdown} Does it work on Spigot, or only Paper?
:icon: help
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.
:::

::::{dropdown} Do I need any other plugins?
:icon: help
No hard dependencies. PlaceholderAPI is optional and only needed for the scoreboard placeholders and for exposing stats to other plugins.
:::

::::{dropdown} Players fall back to world spawn when they leave. Why?
:icon: alert
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.
:::

::::{dropdown} My arena will not start or open.
:icon: alert
Run `/tt setupstatus <arena>`. It lists the steps still missing, such as corners, spawn, lobby, or a saved region. Finish those, then try again.
:::

::::{dropdown} Stats are not saving.
:icon: alert
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](/docs/configuration/storage/).
:::

::::{dropdown} The server has no internet. Can I still use stats?
:icon: help
Yes. Copy the driver jars into `plugins/TNTGamesCore/libs/` from a machine that has them, then start the server. See [Storage and data](/docs/configuration/storage/).
:::

::::{dropdown} Scoreboards show text like %tntgames_total_players% instead of a number.
:icon: alert
PlaceholderAPI is not installed. Install it to make those placeholders resolve. See [Placeholders](/docs/reference/placeholders/).
:::

::::{dropdown} How do I change the games, items, or messages?
:icon: help
Edit `config.yml` for games and items, `messages.yml` for text, and `scoreboard.yml` for scoreboards. Run `/tt reload` to apply. See [Configuration](/docs/configuration/configuration/).
:::

::::{dropdown} Can I change the domain on the scoreboard?
:icon: help
Yes. The footer shows `tntgames.com` by default. Change it in `scoreboard.yml`.
:::

::::{dropdown} How do I set up MySQL for a network?
:icon: help
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](/docs/configuration/storage/).
