Can I create my own tasks?
Section titled “Can I create my own tasks?”While the core tasks are built into the plugin, you can fully customize every existing task via its specific configuration file. If you have a task idea, feel free to suggest it in our Discord server!
Why are players able to break blocks in the arena?
Section titled “Why are players able to break blocks in the arena?”Santa Says is specifically designed to be played in Adventure mode to prevent any map griefing. If your players are able to break or place blocks during a game, it means another plugin on your server is overriding our gamemode changes.
This is usually caused by world management plugins that force a specific gamemode on players when they join or teleport.
If the issue is caused by Multiverse-Core:
You need to prevent it from enforcing its own default gamemode. Open your Multiverse-Core config.yml file, find the enforce-gamemode setting, and set it to false:
worlds: enforce-gamemode: falseIf you are using a different plugin: Check your other plugins for similar gamemode-enforcing features and disable them. If you cannot disable them globally, make sure to bypass or disable those features specifically for the worlds where your Santa Says arenas are located.
