Getting Started

Requirements

• Java 21 or newer, also meeting the server’s own Java requirement.
• Spigot or Paper with traditional Bukkit scheduling. Folia is not supported.
• An authorized binary from Hub, SpigotMC or BuiltByBit.

The build compiles against Paper 1.16.5. Its api-version: 1.13 metadata and compatibility helpers do not establish a tested range from Minecraft 1.8 through future versions. Validate the exact server release, especially mounted movement and leashes.

Installation

1. Stop the server and place the authorized carousel-2.0.4.jar in plugins/.
2. Start the server and check the console for initialization errors.
3. Review plugins/Carousel/config.yml, messages.yml and data.yml.
4. As an operator in game, run /carousel create spawn, followed by /carousel edit spawn.

New rides start immediately and save their settings. Valid saved rides start again on enable or /carousel reload. Back up data and worlds before migrations.

Optional Plugins

PlaceholderAPI expands player message tokens when installed. World-manager soft dependencies establish load ordering for their worlds. WorldGuard is declared as a soft dependency, but there is no region-protection hook; protect administration with permissions.

Administration

Most commands require an in-game player. Only the root command, help and reload also accept the console. Administrative nodes default to operators; riding is open unless a custom riding permission is configured.

Continue with creating carousels, commands and configuration.
