❓FAQ

Common questions and fixes.

Find quick answers about installation, configuration, and common issues.

Include server version, plugin version, and the full console error in bug reports.

Installation & startup

The plugin does not load on my server. What should I do?

Check these items first:

• Your server runs Paper, Spigot, or a compatible fork.

• Your Java version is Java 17 or newer.

• The plugin .jar is inside the plugins/ folder.

• The console shows no startup errors.

If the console shows errors, read the first stack trace.

It usually points to a missing dependency or invalid config.

Configuration files

Where are the plugin configuration files located?

All config files are generated after the first startup.

Location:

/plugins/DealOrNoDeal/

Important files:

• config.yml

• rewards.yml

• banker.yml

• languages/

Starting a game

How do I start a DealOrNoDeal game?

Start a game with:

/dond start <player>

Example:

/dond start Steve

Rewards

How can I edit the rewards used in the game?

Rewards can be updated in two ways.

Option 1: edit the file

Edit rewards.yml in the plugin folder.

Option 2: use the in-game editor

Open the reward editor GUI:

/dond edit rewards

How many rewards should be configured?

A standard game uses 24 boxes.

Configure 24 rewards inside rewards.yml.

Each reward is randomly assigned to one box.

Banker AI

How do banker offers work?

Offers are generated by the Banker AI.

The offer depends on:

• average reward value

• median reward value

• game round

• board risk level

• random variation

All banker behavior is configurable in banker.yml.

Can I disable the Banker AI?

Yes. Disable it in banker.yml:

banker:
  enabled: false

Then send offers manually:

/dond offer money <amount>
/dond offer item <material> <amount>
/dond offer swap

Languages

How do I change the plugin language?

Set the language in config.yml:

language: en

Or run:

/dond language set <language>

Example:

/dond language set ru

Economy (Vault)

Do I need Vault to use the plugin?

Vault is optional.

Vault is required for:

• money rewards

• economy integration

• entry tax

• ticket system

Without Vault, the plugin can still use item rewards.
