Enhanced UHC

-# This text is from my github repositorie, avoid all the maven building help.

UHC plugin for Minecraft Paper servers. It covers the full match lifecycle: configuration, scenarios, teams, scatter, timers, borders, statistics, scoreboard, Discord announcements, and match ending.

Features

• UHC match management: player scatter, countdown, final heal, PvP activation, timed Nether access, progressive borders, late scatter, 2-minute reconnect grace, and winner announcement.
• FFA and team modes with invitations, team chat, cross-team merging for incomplete teams, kick, leave, and disband.
• Admin GUIs for configuration and scenarios.
• Dedicated uhc and uhc_nether worlds with automatic creation, configured borders, center PvP cleanup, and internal pre-generation or Chunky integration.
• Dynamically toggleable scenarios: CutClean, Timber, FlowerPower, Randomizer, NoFall, SafeMining, Bowless, TimeBomb, Golden Head, SafeLoot, and more.
• Configurable scoreboard with match, team, border, and Do Not Disturb placeholders, plus a below-name health and absorption indicator.
• Gameplay controls for apple/flint rates, cobweb limits, potions, explosives, anti-burn drops, achievements, hidden commands, and whitelist state.
• Optional TAB tablist formatting and Lunar Client Apollo TeamView integration.
• Persistent MySQL statistics: kills, deaths, assists, wins, games played, points, Elo, and leaderboards.
• Discord announcements for openings and results through a webhook or bot + target channel.
• Optional MiniPlaceholders support for exposing statistics and match information.

Requirements

Component	Version / note
Java	21
Maven	3.9+ recommended
Server	Paper 1.21.x (api-version: 1.21)
Database	Optional MySQL, enabled by default in database.yml
Optional plugins	MiniPlaceholders, TAB, Apollo, Chunky, WorldEdit / FastAsyncWorldEdit

The plugin is compiled against paper-api:1.21.11-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.

Build

mvn clean package

The production jar is generated in target/, for example:

target/uhc-1.0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar

Installation

1. Build the project with Maven.
2. Place the jar in the Paper server's plugins/ directory.
3. Start the server once to generate the files in plugins/UHC/.
4. Configure the generated YAML files, then restart the server.
5. If needed, pre-generate the worlds with /pregen.

The plugin automatically creates and configures the uhc and uhc_nether worlds.

Configuration

File	Purpose
uhc.yml	Timers, teams, borders, Nether, drops, potions, scatter, late scatter, spectator spawn, gameplay flags, tablist, border wall, and Elo.
database.yml	MySQL connection, assist window, leaderboard size, and refresh interval.
discordwebhook.yml	Discord webhook, bot/channel target, role mention, opening and victory embeds.
scoreboard.yml	Scoreboard title, objectives, and solo/team lines.
joinitems.yml	Items given in the lobby.
guis.yml	Interface labels and slots.
items.yml	Custom item names and lore.
messages.yml	Prefixes and shared messages.
language.yml	Localizable text used by commands and listeners.
plugin.yml	Commands, main permission, and Bukkit/Paper metadata.

By default, database.yml contains mysql.enabled: true. If no MySQL server is available, either provide valid credentials or set this value to false. In memory mode, stats work for the current session but are not persisted.

Leaderboard placeholders accept a rank argument according to MiniPlaceholders syntax.

Match Flow

1. Adjust the configuration with /configurationAdmin and /scenariosadmin.
2. Check uhc.yml, especially teams.size, timers, borders, and Nether settings.
3. Pre-generate with /pregen, or let Chunky handle it if the plugin is installed.
4. Let players create teams with /team.
5. Send the Discord announcement with /announce <opening>.
6. Start the match with /start.
7. During the game, use /crossteam <player> to merge incomplete teams if needed.
8. Let victory conditions end the match automatically or end it manually with /finish.
9. Manage statistics with /statsadmin if a correction is needed.

mvn clean package

Then test the jar on a local Paper server with at least:

• plugin startup without console errors;
• YAML file generation;
• /configurationAdmin, /scenariosadmin, /pregen, /start;
• /crossteam, late scatter, reconnect grace, and spectator hiding;
• match ending with /finish;
• stats read/write if MySQL is enabled.
