Server Quiz

Introduction

This plugin is based on org.spigotmc:spigot-api:1.20.1-R0.1-SNAPSHOT, branching out from my previous project zhisuan11core.

Generally, you can regard it as a simple Database Management System, which manage a Q&A system in a Minecraft server.

It also helps me prepare in advance for my database system course assignments.

Now, it uses AnvilGUI to provide blank quiz system.

Configuration

The Q&A system has two ways to storage data: YAML, MYSQL.

Since plugin version 1.1.0, fill-in-the-blanks quiz has been supported!

If you choose YAML type, please set your quiz at Quiz.yml in the format below:

Choice:
  - Question: "Which of the following is not a valid IP address?"
    Options:
      A: "172.28.45.56"
      B: "192.168.0.1"
      C: "240e:360:6f43:500:d14d:dbd0:97:b3b3"
      D: "127.256.3.34"
    Answer: D
    Reward: DIAMOND
  - Question: "Which of the following file formats are not considered compressed files"
    Options:
      A: "zip"
      B: "rar"
      C: "7z"
      D: "png"
    Answer: D
    Reward: DIAMOND

Blank:
  - Question: "1+1=?"
    Answer: "2"
    Reward: DIAMOND

Since version 1.1.2, you can set Reward a number if you have Vault based plugins.

However, they must be written in a String format, which means wrapping them with double quotation marks.

Or if you prefer MYSQL, please create a new database named serverquiz and set your basic config in advance:

config:
  storage: MYSQL
  host: { your host }
  port: { your port }
  name: { your name }
  password: { your password }
  database: serverquiz

The configuration file has been updated! You can easily set some configurations now. Other config options is shown below:

Command

Command	Function	Permission
/quiz open	open the answer menu	serverquiz.open
/quiz send <num>	send a quiz	serverquiz.edit
/quiz show	show the config details	serverquiz.show
/quiz edit	edit the config	serverquiz.edit

However, this function is still in development. You'd better do it through Database Manager.
