SkyWars+

Report an issue

- Map System – Just drop world folders into /plugins/SkyWarsPlus/maps and configure them easily

- Custom Game Configs – Set up different modes (Solos, Duos, etc.)

- Loot Editor – Add and customize loot in-game

- Auto Chest Detection – No need to manually add island chests (need to manually add op chest locations)

- Chest Refills - Add custom chest refill time for each game config

- Map IDs - Choose which maps you need, just provide the map id for the config

Step 1: Adding Maps

> > Place your world folders inside: > plugins/SkyWarsPlus/maps/ > > The folder name of each world will be treated as the map name. > > Next, define the map data in map_data.yml like this: > > > ``` > Map Name: > spectator-teleport-location: [564.5, 55.5, 70.5] > team-spawn-locations: > - [525.5, 58.0, 67.5] > - [559.5, 58.0, 108.5] > - [559.5, 58.0, 108.5] > - [559.5, 58.0, 108.5] > op-chest-locations: > - [561, 58, 65] > - [567, 58, 75] > id: mapid > ``` > > Explanation: > > waiting-area-location: Location where players wait before the game starts. > > team-spawn-locations: Locations where each team will spawn at the start of the match. > > chest-locations: Middle island chests only. These chests contain better loot. > Must be integers (no decimal points). > > Normal chest locations are detected automatically — you don't need to add them.

Step 2: Creating Game Configurations

> > Use this command to create a game configuration: > > ``` > /swp create_config <name> <min_teams> <max_teams> <team_size> <max_armor_normal_chest> <max_armor_op_chest> <refill_cooldown> <map_ids> > ``` > > name: Name of the game setting (e.g., "Solos", "Duos"). > > min_teams: Minimum number of teams required to start. > > max_teams: Maximum number of teams allowed. > > team_size: Number of players per team. > > refill_cooldown: Time in seconds between chest refills. > > map_ids: IDs of maps to be used with this setting (e.g., waterfallSolos).

Step 3: Configuring Loot

> > Place items into any chest (for normal) or middle chest. > > Look directly at the chest. > > Run either: > > ``` > /swp setloot <normal/op> > ``` > > or > > ``` > /swp addloot <normal/op> > ``` > > You can customize the loot further in loot-items.yml: > > chance: The probability of an item appearing. > > min-amount / max-amount > > custom name, etc.

Step 4: Joining a Game

> > To join a game: > > ``` > /swp join <id | config name> > ```

> SkyWars+ lets you fully customize its menus for a unique server experience.

IMPORTANT:

Menu customization requires correct YAML formatting. Incorrect spacing or syntax will break the menu.

join_menu.yml Guide

Layout

> > Example: > > ``` > # ONE, TWO, THREE..., SIX > rows: THREE > > buttons: > 10: > name: "&7&lSkywars Solos" > material: IRON_SWORD > glint: false > join-on-click: false > config: null > lore: > - "&7Coming Soon!" > - "&aGet ready for epic battles." > actions: > - "[MESSAGE] &cThis mode is coming soon!" > ``` > > actions: Number of rows in the menu(same values used in skywars-menu.yml) > > actions: true/false – Whether clicking the button should instantly join the game. > > actions: The game configuration name (used if join-on-click is true or when %config_player_count% is used). > > actions: Lines of description text for the button. > > actions: Optional extra actions to run when the button is clicked.

Using %config_player_count%

> > In true, you can use `%config_player_count%` in the lore or name to show the number of players in that config’s games. > > Example: > > ``` > lore: > - "&7Players: %config_player_count%" > ``` > > If `join-on-click` is true or want to use `%config_player_count%`, you must provide a valid config name. > If you don’t want to set a config, you can leave `config: null` or empty and instead add a command action to join.
