Localization

This section is for the localization.yml file

Depending on the pregenerated localization.yml file you selected in the config.yml file, this file will contain all of the messages the plugin will send in chat. You can then further change the messages while also using the minecraft color codes. Use & to specify a start of a color code. Do not edit the two values on the bottom of the file or you risk breaking the plugin or resetting all of the data in the file.

Leaderboard

This section is for the leaderboard.yml file

This config file allows you to change what is displayed on the scoreboard\leaderboard while in the lobby, or in the game. Below are a list of predefined placeholders.

Items

This section is for the items.yml file

If you have pvp enabled, this file will specify what items each player will get. There are two sections for items, one for hiders, and one for seekers. Spectators don't get any items. Below is a table on the parameters, and some examples on some premade items.

Name	Type	Description
material	Material	What item to give
amount	int	The amount of potions to give
enchantments	EnchantingID : int	The name of the enchantment, followed by a `:`, then the enchantment level.
name	String	Items name
unbreakable	bool	If the item is unbreakable
lore	String list	List of lore strings

Weapon Example

'1':      
  material: DIAMOND_SWORD
  amount: 1
  enchantments:
    sharpness: 1
  name: 'Seeker Sword'
  unbreakable: true
  lore:
    - 'This is the seeker sword'

You can also give potions to your players. Below is a table on what you need, and some examples on how to do it.

Name	Type	Description

  type: REGEN

The next section of the file is effects. These are the effects players on each team will receive after the initial hiding countdown finishes. Again, this section is broken into effects seekers get, and effects hiders get.

You will need to specify the following information:

Name	Type	Description
type	PotionEffectType	The type of potion effect.
duration	int	The duration in seconds for the effect to last. Put 1000000 for it to last until the the player switches teams or the game ends

  type: WATER_BREATHING
  duration: 1000000
  amplifier: 1
  ambient: false
  particles: false

Finally, the ID's of each of the sections for the effects and items MUST be in numerical order. For example, the item marked '1', must then be followed by an item marked '2', otherwise the '2' item will be skipped, along with the rest of the items for that team.
