Thimble

Version française

A Minecraft plugin for the thimble (dé à coudre) mini-game for Paper and Spigot servers from 1.8 to 1.21.1.

Usage

Arena setup

After installing the plugin, you just need to create an arena where players can compete against each other. Connect to your server and execute the following commands (<arena> is to be replaced by the name of your choice):

• /th arena create <arena> to create an arena
• /th arena setSpawn <arena> to define the location where players appear when they join the arena
• /th arena setJump <arena> to define where players will jump from

Playing

Type /th join <arena> to join an arena. The game will start automatically when there are enough players.

Signs

Every player who has the relevant permissions can create clickable signs as an alternative to player commands. Place a sign and write on the first line [Thimble] or [DéÀCoudre] (case-insensitive). On the next line:

• the name of an arena to join
• block to open the block selection inventory
• leave to leave any arena

Note: once the sign is created, its content is no longer used, you can replace it with commands such as /setblock and keep the original behavior!

PlaceholderAPI

This plugin automatically registers placeholders if PlaceholderAPI is installed. The leaderboard is accessible with the syntax: %thimble_lb_<table>[_<pos>][_name]% where table is wins, losses, jumps, fails or thimbles and pos a number from 0 to 9. Examples:

• %thimble_lb_wins%
• %thimble_lb_losses_3_name%
• %thimble_lb_jumps_6_name%
• %thimble_lb_thimbles_9%

You can display the player's statistics:

• %thimble_wins%
• %thimble_jumps%
• %thimble_fails%
• %thimble_thimbles%

Two placeholders are also registered for every arena. They expose the current state of the game (state) and the number of players currently in (players). For the demo arena for instance, the placeholders will be:

• %thimble_ar_demo_state%
• %thimble_ar_demo_players%

Permissions

• thimble.commands.arena.*: /th arena create, /th arena setSpawn...
• thimble.commands.player.*: access to commands for players (/th block, /th join and /th leave)
• thimble.sign.place: to place clickable signs
• thimble.commands.stats.*: access to statistics

Language files

By default, the system language is used. You can change it in the configuration file with the locale option in the config.yml file. You can also customize the messages by creating your own locale file. To do this, create a new file plugins/Thimble/messages_en.properties (replace en with the same value as in locale) and add the messages you want to modify. Here is the default language file. The messages use the MiniMessage formatting.

Scoreboards

As of version 1.1.0, the plugin allows you to create a custom scoreboard for each arena. Here's two examples:

# plugins/Thimble/scoreboard.yml
default:
  # The default scoreboard for all arenas
  title: "<blue>Thimble</blue>"
  lines:
    - "Arena: <yellow><arena></yellow>"
    - ""
    - "Current: <dark_green><jumper></dark_green>"
    - "Next players:"
    - "1. <#d003d0><next_jumper></#d003d0>"
    - "2. <light_purple><next_jumper></light_purple>"
    - ""
    - "Jumps: <gold><jumps></gold>"
    - "Thimbles: <gold><thimble></gold>"
  empty:
    # When these placeholders return null values,
    # use the following replacements:
    jumper: "<gray>none</gray>"
    next_jumper: "<gray>none</gray>"

# plugins/Thimble/scoreboard.yml
default:
  # The default scoreboard for all arenas
  title: "<blue>Thimble</blue>"
  lines:
    - "Arena: <yellow><arena></yellow>"
    - ""
    - "Current: <dark_green><jumper></dark_green>"
    - "Best: <#d003d0><top_player></#d003d0> (<top_points>)"
    - "Time: <yellow><countdown></yellow> sec"
    - ""
    - "<points> <red>❤</red>"
    - "Players: <yellow><playing></yellow>/<capacity>"
  empty:
    # When these placeholders return null values,
    # use the following replacements:
    top_player: "<gray>none</gray>"
    top_points: "<gray>0</gray>"

Usage

Your plugin must be loaded after Thimble using the plugin.yml file:

depend: [Thimble] # If Thimble must be installed.
soft-depend: [Thimble] # If Thimble is not required.

When the plugin is enabled on a Bukkit server, the instance of GameService and StatsService will be provided by the Bukkit ServiceManager.

public final class ThimblePluginHook extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        if (this.getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("Thimble")) { // If it's a soft-depend
            this.getServer().getServicesManager().load(GameService.class);
        }
    }
}

You can view the methods using your IDE or the javadoc.
