UHC Handler

This plugin will assist server operators in running UHC matches. It implements a 30-minute timer as seen in Mindcrack UHC videos, notifying players of every 30 minute mark (for reference, or for recording needs). It also gives server operators several commands to control the setup and game play.

Commands

/match start - UHC.matchControl - Starts the match by clearing all players' inventories, setting them to full health and saturation, and healing them. Also sets time to day, butchers hostile mobs, and starts match timer.

/match pause - UHC.matchControl - Freezes players in place and disallows placing and breaking of blocks. Also pauses match timer.

/match resume - UHC.matchControl - Unfreezes players and allows placing and breaking of blocks. Also resumes match timer.

/match stop - UHC.matchControl - Stops and Resets match timer.

/match time - UHC.matchTime - Displays current match time to player running the command. Used to check time more precisely than every 30 minutes. By default, enabled for all players, with option to allow based on permissions in config.yml.

/freeze - UHC.freeze - Freezes all non-opped players in place. Used as a toggling command.

/mute - UHC.mute - Mutes all non-opped players to assist in communication from operators. Used as a toggling command.

Configuration File

BanOnDeath: true
- Controls whether players are banned after dying.

BanOnDeathDelay: 30
- Controls how long (in seconds) players are allowed to stay on server before being banned after death.

BanMessage: 'Thanks for playing UHC!'
- Controls what message the user is displayed when banned after dying.

TimerAnnounce: true
- Controls whether the timer broadcasts messages or not.

TimerInterval: 30
- Controls how often (in minutes) timer messages are displayed.

TimerMessage: '%t Minutes Elapsed!'
- Controls what message is displayed when the timer reaches its interval (as defined above). Use '%t' in place of the actual game time.

AllowMatchTimeCommand: true
- Controls whether players without permissions can use /match time to check how long a match has been going on.

TimerResolution: 60
- Controls how often your timer checks to see if it needs to display. Make this number lower to get a more precise timer, and higher to use fewer server resources. The number itself represents how often your timer will check to see if it needs to display (in seconds). This will produce a timer that is correct to the nearest [x] seconds.
- Should be less than or equal to TimerInterval*60.

ChangeMOTD: true
- Controls whether the plugin changes your server's MOTD based on game progress.

SetupMOTD: 'Log on now to play UHC!'
- Displays while plugin is loaded, but game is not in progress to players viewing the server from their multiplayer launcher. Only active if ChangeMOTD is enabled.

RunningMOTD: 'UHC Match in Progress.'
- Displays while plugin is loaded, and game is in progress to players viewing the server from their multiplayer launcher. Only active if ChangeMOTD is enabled.

ControlLogins: true
- Controls whether the plugin manages player log ins, allowing players to relog, but not allowing players to join after match has begun.

overwriteFreeze: true
- Controls whether this plugin's freeze controls /freeze commands, or they are allowed to go to other plugins.
