The hardest part about joining a new server is learning how the admins have it set up. PlayerTutorials solves this problem in a very fun way with the introduction of custom tutorials that players can be sent to upon joining the server or via commands. PlayerTutorials can be used to display rules, show players where to go, or even just tell them a little about the server. You can find this plugin on Spigot HERE.

Update Log (0.1.8)

✔ Cross version compatibility! PlayerTutorials is now compatible with all 1.8.X versions of Minecraft.

Features

1.8.X Support - PlayerTutorials as of version 0.1.8 supports all versions of MC! Making it very convenient.
Automatic Tutorial On Join - Automatically send players to the tutorial when they join the server! This can be disabled in the config.
Completely Custom Messages - Unlike most plugins, PlayerTutorials does not have a prefix for every message advertizing the plugin. This makes it seem like it is custom just to the server.
Multiworld Support - Teleport players between worlds to show them around the server at every possible angle!
Full Color Code Support - Every message that is configurable supports color codes using the "&" symbol(except the config which uses the ";" symbol).
Custom Timing - Change the amount of time a person is at a certain point before they are teleported.
Command On Tutorial Completion - Want to give a player an item, money, or even even coins from your own plugins? Now you can. When the tutorial is finished, you can set it to execute a command that can be from any plugin. NOW WITH THE ABILITY TO ADD AS MANY COMMANDS AS YOU WANT!!! You could have over 10,000 commands in the config and it would still work.
Most Custom Plugin In The World! - Nearly every feature in PlayerTutorials is configurable! This adds for a truly unique experience that gives players the feel of a major network, but without the cost of hiring custom developers.
1.8 Title/Subtitle/Action Bar Title support!!! - Make your tutorials and server look even more professional than ever with the addition of titles!
Welcome Messages! - Want to give players a warm welcome or tell them about some news that is happening on the server. Now you can! You can have up to 5 welcome messages saved at the same time. You can even set them to have one randomly selected so that they stay interested.
Automatic Updates! - Once you download PlayerTutorials, you never have to again. Each time a new version is released, the plugin is downloaded and installed.
