Info Module

Introduction

The Info module simply attempts to provide information to the player, in the form of either a Message Of The Day (MOTD), or a series of info pages.

Message Of The Day

Nucleus creates a file at config/nucleus/motd.txt that will be displayed on join to anyone with the nucleus.motd.login permission, or if they run /motd (with the nucleus.motd.base permission). The text file supports Minecraft colour codes prefixed with an ampersand (&), and will convert URLs automatically where it sees them.

To update the file, simply edit the file, Nucleus will pick up the updated contents automatically. If you want a different (or no) title for the MOTD, this can be changed in the main.conf file, see info.motd-title.

The MOTD supports links and placeholder tokens, see this page to see how tokens and links can be created.

Server Info files

Nucleus creates a folder at config/nucleus/info, and drops two files into it, color.txt and info.txt. These form two sections in /info. To create an additional sections, create a new text file (with the extension .txt) and save it in the same folder. Upon /nucleus reload or a server restart, the contents of the file will be available for reading - the filename (minus .txt) will appear in the /info list.

Editing an existing .txt file does not require the use of /nucleus reload.

When creating additional chapters, note the following:

  • On case sensitive file systems, if files only differ by case, only one will be picked up.
  • To add a custom title to a section, on the first line of the text file in question, start with a # and add the title to that line. The title can be no longer than 50 characters.
  • Colour codes and formatting are supported.
  • URLs are supported.
  • The info files also support the tokens listed on this page.
  • The permission to view info files is nucleus.info.base.

The following are incompatibilities that may occur with this module, along with how to resolve the problem. For the full mod/plugin incompatibility list, see the compatibility page.

The following configuration is the default for this module:
                            info {
    # If "use-default-info-section" is true, this section is displayed when a player runs "/info", not the section list.
    default-info-section=info
    # If true, when a player runs "/info", the section specified in "default-info-section" will be used, that is, /info will work the same as /info <default-section>. 
    # The list of sections can still be viewed by running "/info -l", if the user has the "nucleus.info.list" permission. If false, or the section does not exist, this list is shown, regardless of this permission.
    use-default-info-section=false
}
motd {
    # The amount of time to wait (in seconds) before sending the MOTD to a player who has just logged in.
    motd-login-delay=0.5
    # The title to show at the top of each MOTD page. Colour codes are supported. If blank, this hides the title completely.

    # If true, show players the MOTD as defined in "motd.txt" when they log onto the server.
    show-motd-on-join=true
    # If false, this disables the pagination system for the MOTD. Set this to false if you have one page, do not want a title, and do not want the << >> marks to appear, otherwise, it is recommended to set this to true.
    use-pagination=true
}
