Safe mode

Safe mode is used to block or limit plugin behavior when there is a configuration problem or when you want to prevent unverified events from running on the server.

When to use safe mode​

Use safe mode when:

  • the plugin prints errors in the console;
  • an event has incorrect rewards;
  • a YAML configuration is broken;
  • you are performing maintenance;
  • you just restored a backup;
  • you need to stop automatic events from starting.

Enable safe mode​

/eventdirector safemode on

Disable safe mode​

/eventdirector safemode off

Check status​

/eventdirector safemode status

or check:

/eventdirector version

What safe mode can do​

The exact behavior depends on the build, but safe mode may:

  • prevent events from starting;
  • block automations;
  • limit sensitive commands;
  • prevent unverified rewards from being executed;
  • keep diagnostic and restore commands available.
  1. Enable safe mode.
  2. Check the console.
  3. Create a backup if possible.
  4. Fix the broken configuration.
  5. Reload or restart if needed.
  6. Test a simple event.
  7. Disable safe mode only when the issue is fixed.
warning

Do not disable safe mode just to hide an error. Fix the cause first.
