Getting Started

Welcome to Mythic Dungeons!


-= Overview Video =-


Thanks for your interest in Mythic Dungeons! Here, we'll go over some of the basics involved in running and using the plugin. The whole experience is designed to be as straightforward as possible, but with how complex and powerful Mythic Dungeons is, there is a bit of a learning curve.

Installation

Installing Mythic Dungeons is as simple as dropping the plugin jar file into your server's plugin folder and running the server. Currently, Mythic Dungeons supports Spigot and its most popular forks. (Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish, etc.)

Once the plugin is installed, it will automatically create a folder called MythicDungeons in the plugins folder. Inside you'll find:

  • config.yml - the plugin's global settings. New options added by an update are merged into your existing file automatically.
  • lang/en.yml - every message the plugin sends. Copy it to lang/<code>.yml, translate it, and set General.Language to that code. Keys you don't translate fall back to English.
  • maps/ - where your dungeon worlds will be saved. It also contains default-config.yml (the settings a newly created dungeon starts with) and default-generator.yml (the settings a newly created procedural dungeon starts with).
  • backups/ and globalplayerdata/ - managed by the plugin.

Mythic Dungeons comes with a default party handler, however we also support other party plugins instead. Set General.PartyPlugin in config.yml to one of:

  • Default (or DungeonParties) - proprietary, built in, the default
  • Parties - Parties
  • Heroes - Heroes
  • MythicRPG
  • paf - Party and Friends (the plugin itself must be PartyAndFriendsGUI; support is partial, since the Spigot API provides no way to add or remove party members)

If the value doesn't match one of these but a plugin by that name is installed, party support is enabled with generic handling only.


And that's it! You're ready to start making dungeons! Check out these pages to learn more about using the plugin and how it all works.
