Hello all. I will continue to upload updated files here, but won't change the description. If you want an up-to-date wiki check out the Spigot page.

Introduction

Have you ever tried to explain every aspect of the game by just writing signs?
Are you tired of new players joining and asking to explain how the game works?

That time is over! Now with EzTutorial you can make easy and informational tutorials for your players to learn from!
The way this plugin works is by location points. You the owner sets as many locations as you want, then your server users can then go on a tour of those locations you set. But they can have messages, rewards, delays, and so much more. Almost every aspect of the plugin is configurable. Make sure you read the configuration section because it can be confusing.

Features

Tutorials are easy to create and, use a number of ways to start them.
- Start signs
- Commands
- NPC interaction (look below on how to set this up)
Tutorials are easily expandable for as many locations as you want.
Tutorials can be easily be deleted in game with one command.
Tutorial locations can be easily deleted in game with one command!
Messages and location names for each location are available for easy customization.
The delay in between the locations can be configured.
Rewards of any kind and of any amount including economy money can be given on completion of a tutorial.
An end message can be easily customized to be sent after a player has completed a tutorial.
A tutorial can be set as the default tutorial for new players to the server to be put through
A custom join message can be sent on first join of new players, in correlation to the default tutorial.
Staff members of the server can put a player through a tutorial with one easy command!
Every aspect of the plugin in configurable
Permissions are available on every aspect of the plugin (If you don't have a permissions manager it defaults to OP).

Walk to where you want a location to be and type /tutorial setlocation <tutorial name> <location number>
Repeat step 3 as many times as you want
Edit the config to your liking

Going on a tutorial

There are 3 ways to start tutorial: Using the start sign, startplayer command, and hitting a npc

To start with a sign simply left click a start sign
To start with the command simply type /tutorial startplayer <tutorial name> <target player>
To start with a npc there are a few simple steps
- 1) get a npc spawning egg of your choice
- 2) get an anvil
- 3) put the egg into the anvil and rename it to the exact name of the tutorial you want to use it for (Caps and spaces count)
- 4) now simply hit the npc and you will go on that tutorial!
