Tukela on tuletta olla, vaiva suuri valkeatta,
ikävä inehmisien, ikävä itsen Ukonki.
— The seventy-fifth poem, Kalevala
Valkea is a Paper server plugin that adds configurable spawn points, each with their own commands.
Valkea has no built-in management commands. Instead, all configuration
is done via the configuration file, which is in YAML format (.yml).
Valkea isn't published anywhere, because SpigotMC doesn't accept Paper-only plugins and Hangar is still in the closed alpha development stage at the time of writing1. Nightly artifacts are uploaded to GitHub Actions, and retained for ninety days.
- Download and extract the ZIP from GitHub Actions or build Valkea yourself.
- Place
Valkea.jarin your server's plugins directory. - Restart the server.
As a little exercise, let's try removing one of the two default spawn points included with Valkea, and adding our own one for the End.
- Open the plugins > Valkea > config.yml file.
- Write something a little like this:
spawn: display_name: "<rainbow>Rainbow spawn!</rainbow>" world: "minecraft:overworld" x: 143.5 y: 73.0 z: 269.5 yaw: 45 pitch: -90
- Save the file.
- Run the
/spawncommand to go to the spawn point. No reloads necessary!
You can always clone this repository manually and build it with Maven. That being said, if you have IntelliJ IDEA installed, the simplest way to compile Valkea is to use that instead:
- File > New > Project from Version Control...
- Enter
https://github.com/bluelhf/Valkeaas the repository URL - Clone, and wait for IDEA to clone the repository.
- Alt + Shift + F10 > Build with Maven
- Get the Valkea JAR from target
