Quick start

This quick start is for administrators who want to get EventDirector running quickly.

1. Install the plugin​

Stop the server, copy the EventDirector .jar into the plugins folder, then start the server again.

2. Verify the plugin​

Run:

/eventdirector version

If the command works, continue.

3. Open the admin tools​

Run one of the following commands:

/eventdirector admin

or:

/eventdirector setup

Use the admin GUI and setup wizard to review the main options.

4. Configure permissions​

Give full access only to trusted administrators:

/lp group admin permission set eventdirector.* true

For event staff, use more limited permissions instead of giving wildcard access.

5. Create a backup​

/eventdirector backup create first-working-config

6. Test an event​

Use a simple event first. Confirm that it starts, sends messages, checks participants, and gives rewards correctly.

7. Go live​

Once your test works, you can configure real events for players.

warning

Do not start with a complex public event before testing backups, permissions, and safe mode.
