resurrection/data/README.md

The following applies to all files in this directory with the exception of resurrection.png, which is the image used for the plugin icon on the Spigot website.

Example Files

This directory contains sample files for you to visualize what files Resurrection writes to the file system and how they work. Resurrection creates these files in the same directory as the Spigot server plugins directory when the plugin is enabled for the first time or if the files do not exist.

The files in this directory are purely for documentation purposes, they are not compiled into the final jars since Resurrection creates these files programmatically.

Avoid touching these files while the plugin is enabled and avoid deleting or moving the files at any time after it's creation to prevent breaking the plugin.

Formatting of playerData.resurrection

This file should only contain one line of data at all times as new users are appended to such line.

The file is read as follows:

;username,dead,timeUntilResurrection;.............

• ; are seperators between player data
• username is the String of the player's display name
  • This is planned to change to the player's UUID as development progresses.
• dead is a boolean indicating if the player has died.
• timeUntilResurrection is a long containing the milliseconds for when the user shall be resurrected.
  • This value is reset to 0 if the dead flag is false.

Formatting of settings.resurrection

The file contains two types of lines: comments and settings.

# Comments start the line with a '#'. Anything in the line will be ignored by Resurrection.
# Settings contain the name of the settings, a '=' and then it's value as shown below.
setting=value

Currently, Resurrection looks for two settings:

• resurrection_time
  • The time between death and respawn (known as "resurrection" in my docs) in milliseconds. Value must be a number (long to be specific). Default value is 24 hours/86400000.
• debug
  • Displays debug messages for the command sender. Value must be a boolean (true/false). Default value is false.

If any settings are missing or have an invalid value, the plugin will shutdown and notify you of what needs to be changed.
