How to set up the shop?

If you follow this tutorial you will setup it properly.

💡 You may want use Secret well too in your map, see how to use it below.


Can I set up secret well?

You need to build a secret well to throw out rotten flesh there. If players throw there enough rotten flesh they will get an extra heart.

How it should be created:

(2x2 hoppers and water above them)

Number of needed rotten flesh is based on a simple algorithm:

First heart: 50 rotten flesh needed

Next hearts: bonus hearts * in-game players size + 10


language.yml file is empty

This problem is caused mainly when you try to delete this file before you restart the server.

❗️ Always delete VD 3 files when the server is stopped. It's recommended too to edit them manually when the server is stopped.

Your server version is not supported by Village Defense!
Sadly, we must shut off. Maybe you consider changing your server version?

Players can't join through signs

This is a very common problem in every minigame plugin.

It's caused by spawn protection feature in vanilla Minecraft.

To disable this go to server.properties and change spawn-protection value to 0.


How power-ups work?

Power-ups added in Village Defense 3.3.0 enhances your game a bit.

Requires Holographic Displays to work!

There are few types of them right now:

  • Map clean power-up (cleans map from all zombies that are spawned, not every zombie from the pool)
  • Double damage power-up (Every player gets Strength I potion for 15 seconds by default)
  • Healing power-up (Every player gets Regeneration I for 10 seconds by default)
  • Golem raid power-up (3 golems are spawned in the village by default)
  • One shot one kill power-up (Every zombie can be killed for one hit (Strength 255) for 15 seconds by default)

Every option and messages from these power-ups are configurable. Drop chance, time of power-up, disabling/enabling specific power-ups are configurable via config.yml. Messages are configurable via language.yml.
