Config

There is one main configuration section:

worlds:

Within the worlds configuration is a list of world names (these are automatically generated when the plugin starts up). A world section looks like:

worlds:
    zombiesurvival:
        enabled: true
        gamemode: ADVENTURE
        time: 18000
        players: 20
        set_morning: true
        keep_night: true

enabled can be true or false
gamemode can be SURVIVAL, CREATIVE or ADVENTURE
time is a number between 0 and 24000, where 0 is dawn, 6000 midday, 12000 dusk, 12500 night and 18000 midnight
players limit the number of players allowed to teleport to the world, if set to -1, this setting is ignored
set_morning can be true or false - if true sets the worlds time to 0 ticks when the first player joins
keep_night can be true or false - if true makes it always night from the time the game mode is switched until the last player leaves
