First setup

After installing EventDirector, complete a first setup before running events on your live server.

  1. Confirm that the plugin loads correctly.
  2. Check the plugin version.
  3. Open the setup wizard.
  4. Review the generated configuration files.
  5. Configure permissions.
  6. Create a first backup.
  7. Test a simple event.

Check the installed version​

Run:

/eventdirector version

This command helps you confirm that the plugin is enabled and that you are using the expected build.

Open the setup wizard​

Run:

/eventdirector setup

The setup wizard is designed to guide administrators through the first configuration steps.

Depending on the build, the wizard may help you configure:

  • general settings;
  • event defaults;
  • storage or generated files;
  • GUI access;
  • safety options;
  • update checks;
  • backup behavior.

Create your first backup​

Once the first setup is complete, create a backup:

/eventdirector backup create first-setup

This gives you a clean restore point before you start editing events.

Test before going live​

Before announcing an event to players, test it with staff only.

Check that:

  • the event starts correctly;
  • rewards work as expected;
  • messages are readable;
  • conditions are not too restrictive;
  • commands are executed correctly;
  • no console errors appear.
tip

Keep a small test event in your configuration. It is useful after updates, reloads, or permission changes.
