Kanuli Minecraft Server Guide

🌐 Initial server setup

We need to install Java Paper Minecraft platform to support plugins! To set up the server on Ubuntu and run a Paper Minecraft Java server:

Update system:
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```
Install Java 21:
```
sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk -y
```
Create server directory:
```
mkdir ~/minecraft && cd ~/minecraft
```

Download Paper server jar:

wget https://api.papermc.io/v2/projects/paper/versions/1.21.4/builds/226/downloads/paper-1.21.4-226.jar -O paper.jar

Create start script:

echo "java -Xms2G -Xmx4G -jar paper.jar nogui" > start.sh
chmod +x start.sh

Accept EULA:

./start.sh  # then edit eula.txt to set eula=true

Start the server:
```
./start.sh
```

Now the server is ready to install plugins and configure worlds.

✨ Installed plugins

Find and download plugins under ~/minecraft/plugins folder. Then restart the server and you are ready to use them.

🌍 Worlds and gamemodes

survival: Normal world (gamemode: SURVIVAL)

Create world: /mv create survival normal

/mv modify set gamemode SURVIVAL survival

creative: Custom deep flat creative world (gamemode: CREATIVE)
Blocks: 1 bedrock, 50 stone, 3 dirt, 1 grass

Create world: /mv create creative normal -s "3;1x7,50x1,3x3,1x2;"

/mv modify set gamemode CREATIVE creative

🚚 Teleports ja warps

First move to worlds and set warps there. Then create two signs to spawn area and write codes below.

Move to world: /mv tp craetive or /mv tp survival
In destination world: /setwarp survival, /setwarp creativet
At spawn, create spawn signs: [Warp] + survival or creative
In any place: /spawn return to spawn

📦 Inventory ja XP differences

Multiverse-Inventories groups.yml:

groups:
  survival:
    worlds:
      - survival
    default-gamemode: SURVIVAL
  creative:
    worlds:
      - creative
    default-gamemode: CREATIVE

XP & health does not transfer: config.yml

share:
  inventories: false
  experience: false
  health: false
  hunger: false

🔒 Spawn protection (WorldGuard)

//wand
//expand vert
/region define spawn
/region flag spawn build deny
/region flag spawn pvp deny
/region flag spawn use allow
/region flag spawn entry allow
/region flag spawn tnt deny
/region flag spawn fire-spread deny
/region flag spawn creeper-explosion deny

🔐 Permissions (Creative for only me)

Myself:

/lp user "username" permission set essentials.gamemode.*

Prevent others:

/lp group default permission set essentials.gamemode false
/lp group default permission set essentials.gamemode.creative false

📄 Set permissions to co-admin to change gamemodes and use warps

Goal: User can use command /gamemode creative only in the world spawn area and click on warp signs to access other worlds without OP rights.

Remove OP permission:
/deop User
Lisää gamemode-oikeudet vain maailmassa "world":
/lp user User permission set essentials.gamemode.* true world
/lp user User permission set minecraft.command.gamemode true world
/lp user User permission set minecraft.command.gamemode.creative true world
Add to spawn area owner:
/region addowner spawn User
Remove game mode forcing in world:
/mv modify set gamemode NONE world
Add warp and sign permissions:
/lp user User permission set essentials.warp true
/lp user User permission set essentials.signs.use.warp true
Auto add warp and sign permissions for all new users in group level:
/lp group default permission set essentials.signs.use.warp true
/lp group default permission set essentials.warp true
Check Essentials config:
- enabledSigns: contains - warp
- use-per-warp-permissions: false
Test in WorldGuard area spawn:
/region flag spawn use allow
