Setup Guide
Prior to plugin installation, please refer to the Dependencies page and sure both are installed on your server. The required dependencies must be present on your server in order for Friday the 13th to run. Additionally, it's encouraged that you install the optional dependencies as they greatly enhance gameplay.
To install Friday the 13th on your Minecraft server, download the JAR file and place it in your /Plugins folder. Always do server restarts. Reloads are not supported by F13 and will result in potentially breaking arenas.
To begin setup of an arena, execute the command /f13 setup [arenaName], replacing [arenaName] with your arena name.
You'll first prompted to define the following two points as the arena boundary:
- Boundary (Low) - The lowest point of the arena boundary.
- Boundary (High) - The highest point of the arena boundary.
Note: It is very important that the two points create a cuboid area that encompasses your entire map and everywhere players can play. If you just select a flat plane, the arena will not function properly as it will prevent players from moving "outside" of the arena.
You'll then be asked to setup other important arena points, again using /f13 here to set your current location as the desired point. Once the arena setup has complete, you'll get a confirmation message. Once the arena is setup, you'll need to continue to add spawn points and chests before gameplay can begin.
Once your arena has been setup, you'll need to add spawn points. Spawn points are locations within your arena boundary where players will randomly spawn at the beginning of the game.
To add a spawn point, execute /f13 add [arenaName] spawn and then execute /f13 here to set your current location as the spawn point.
Each game is capped at 9 players, 8 counselors and Jason. It's recommended that you add more than 8 spawn points to allow for greater spawn point randomization for players. If you add less than 8 spawn points, then the number of spawn points will dictate the number of counselors able to join that arena.
There are two types of chests that can be added to a Friday the 13th arena, item chests and weapon chests. Chests are randomly filled by the plugin when the first player during a match interacts with it.
To add a chest, place a chest and then execute the command /f13 add [arenaName] chest:item for an item chest or /f13 add [arenaName] chest:weapon for a weapon chest. Once prompted, place the chest in your crosshairs and execute /f13 here
Chests are not required in order for an arena to be playable, but are required for full feature gameplay like escape points, phone repairs, radios, etc.
Phones are tripwire hooks that allow counselors to call Tommy Jarvis or the police. One phone of each type is selected randomly at the beginning of each game.
It is recommended to add many more than the two required phones to allow for more randomization between matches.
To add a phone for an existing arena, place the tripwire hook and then execute /f13 add [arenaName] phone. Finally, place the tripwire hook in your cross hairs and execute /f13 here
F13 Vehicles are cars and boats that allow counselors to craft their way to escape throughout a game. Cars take the form of Minecarts to allow escape via rail, and boats allow for escape by water.
To add a car, execute /f13 add [arenaName] vehicle:car. Stand above the rail where the car will spawn and execute /f13 here.
To add a boat, execute /f13 add [arenaName] vehicle:boat. Hover slightly above the water sea level where the boat will spawn and execute /f13 here.
Escape points are where areas where players can escape from crafting vehicles or when the police arrive. Land escape points are for police and cars, while sea escape points are for boat escapes.
To add an escape point, execute /f13 add [arenaName] escape:land or /f13 add [arenaName] escape:sea. You'll need to follow in the in-game prompts to use your location to select a cuboid arena selection for the escape point.
Always make sure the border of the escape point that players will need to cross is inside of the arena boundary, otherwise walking escapes for the police will not function properly. Additionally, ensure there is open sky above the escape point as fireworks will be fired above it to indicate police arrival to counselors.
Join signs are automatically updating signs that display arena information to players and allow for click-to-join.
To add a join sign for an existing arena, make the first line of a sign [F13] and put the arena name on the second line. The name of an arena is case sensitive.
