DLDS Unofficial

This is the first stable version of the plugin. With the addition of multi-team support, I consider the plugin to be mostly feature complete, which means that the frequency of updates will decrease in the future. I will continue to fix any bugs that are brought to my attention and update the plugin once new Minecraft versions get released.

Expect a new plugin next year for season three of DLDS!

Features

• Multi-team support (you can now compete with your friends on the same server)
• Small quality of life improvements

Bug fixes

Three advancements were not recognized by the plugin, resulting in the player not being rewarded any points or items upon completion. This was due to the german wiki (where I got the internal advancement names from) containing small naming mistakes. I've confirmed that all achievements are now functional. The list of affected advancements is (german name in parentheses):

• Birthday Song (Geburtstagslied)
• The Power of Books (Spannung in jedem Band)
• Two by Two (Paarweise)

Thanks @Geforced for finding these broken advancements.

Important: Manual steps required

If you currently have an old version of the plugin installed, just replacing the old .jar-file with the new one is not enough:

1. Stop the server
2. Go to the DLDS folder inside the plugins folder and delete the file rewards.yml
3. Start the server
4. In case you made manual changes to the rewards.yml file in the past, you need to reapply them now (and restart the server again).

I am reading this because I got one of the advancements above and didn't get my points/items. Can I somehow get my rewards after the fact?

Yes! First, update to the newest version of the plugin (see above for instructions). Now, you need to join the server, revoke the advancement and give it to yourself/the affected player again. Use the following commands depending on which advancement you were not rewarded for (making sure to replace <playername> with the ingame name of the affected player):

• Birthday Song (Geburtstagslied):
  1. /advancement revoke <playername> only minecraft:husbandry/allay_deliver_cake_to_note_block
  2. /advancement grant <playername> only minecraft:husbandry/allay_deliver_cake_to_note_block
• The Power of Books (Spannung in jedem Band):
  1. /advancement revoke <playername> only minecraft:adventure/read_power_of_chiseled_bookshelf
  2. /advancement grant <playername> only minecraft:adventure/read_power_of_chiseled_bookshelf
• Two by Two (Paarweise):
  1. /advancement revoke <playername> only minecraft:husbandry/bred_all_animals
  2. /advancement grant <playername> only minecraft:husbandry/bred_all_animals

Note: You need certain permissions to run the /advancement command. Players with op-permissions can definitely run the command.

I am sorry for the inconveniences caused by this mistake!

Features

• Nearly every aspect of the plugin was polished (colored text, sound effects, smoother game start, ...)
• Give every player a clock on game start
• Stop players from getting damaged, breaking blocks or moving while the countdown is running
• Randomly offset each players' spawn by a few blocks for better visuals

Bug fixes

• Burning players were not extinguished at game start
• Saturation was not reset at game start
• The plugin can no longer spawn you in water or lava
• Under specific circumstances, the scoreboard was shown to players despite the game not having started yet

Features

• Added time tracking
• Added the "/dlds time" command to set the remaining time for a player
• Added automatic ender dragon respawn
• Added several configuration options for the new features

Quality of life

• Pregenerate chunks while the countdown is running to ensure smooth teleport

Bug fixes

• On game start, player experience and status effects were not cleared
• Fixed a bug that denied players from joining the game after disconnecting, falsely stating that the player died
• World border was not reset after ending the game

New contributors

• @Geforced made their first contribution in #1

The core concepts are working, but the plugin is very rough around the edges.

Still missing / incomplete:

• Automatic Ender Dragon respawn (you'll get 4 end crystals as compensation instead)
• Time measurement
• Polishing (Colorful text, Soundeffects, ...)
• Multiple teams on one server
