MCGPLuS

The core support plugin for the MCGPLuS Family of plugins.

Key Features

Some of the key features include:

Provides standardized localization support for console and player messages.
Optionally, under the control of the user through configuration settings, provides minor new features that would take too much overhead if they were their own modules.

Random Teleportation Command
World locking of weather (a world could be always sunny or stormy).
World locking of time (a world can be always day or always night).
World time synchronization so that selected worlds will be at the same time-of-day (especially useful when players teleport from one world to another).

Published API so that other developers may make use of the common features provided by this support plugin.

The plugin was developed by a programmer with more than 25 years of experience, it is also well structured as a starting point for others that wish to understand or develop their own world generators. Full support is available in the forum here, the website WWW.MINECRAFTGATES.COM or by e-mailing paul@minecraftgates.com.

Pre-Requisites

None.

Future Plans

More features are in the planning stage and will be posted as updates soon. User input on desired features is always welcome and will help prioritize any updates.

Compatibility and Testing

This plugin has been tested against Spigot 1.8.3 and 1.8.6, with preliminary testing on other Spigot versions in the 1.8 series. The plugin has also been tested alongside and designed for compatibility with some of the most popular plugins such as Essentials, WorldEdit, WorldGuard and Multiverse.

Final testing on Spigot other versions is underway, and full details and compatibility version list will be posted as soon as they become available.

This is a common practice for many plugins and a full discussion of the MCStats service can be found at MCStats Discussion Thread on Bukkit. Those wishing to opt-out of this service can easily edit their plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and change the opt-out setting to true.
