Getting started

Installation

The jars, the four files it writes, and the table it creates.

Installing

Drop in the jars

ExyliaArrows.jar and packetevents into plugins/. ExyliaLib is a soft depend — the loader installs it on the first start if it is not there.

Start the server

It writes config.yml, effects.yml, menus/effects.yml and database.yml, and creates its table.

Grant the permissions

Nothing is usable until players can open the menu and own at least one effect. See Permissions.

Files

File	Contents
`config.yml`	Behaviour, the token and remover items, the bow lines, menu wording, feedback, visibility and every message.
`effects.yml`	The six categories and the 120 effects. Hand-written, not schema-managed: your comments and your layout survive a reload.
`menus/effects.yml`	The one screen: tabs, grid, templates and buttons.
`database.yml`	Where selections are stored. H2 by default.

effects.yml is yours

config.yml is written from a schema, so an unknown key is dropped and comments are regenerated. effects.yml is not: it is a catalogue a server owner curates, and it is read exactly as written.

The table

arrows_players, one row per player:

Column	What it holds
`uuid`	The player.
`name`	Their last known name.
`effectId`	The effect they chose, or empty.
`particleVisibility`	`ALL`, `NONE`, `SELF_ONLY` or `OTHERS_ONLY`.
`favourites`	The effects they starred, comma-separated, in their own order.
`created_at` / `updated_at`	When the row was made and last written.

Ids are stored lowercase and read back without regard to case, so a row written by an older version — which stored them in upper case — still resolves.

A starred id the catalogue no longer declares is kept in the column and dropped where it is drawn, so a typo in a reload does not empty anybody's shortlist.

Updating

Replace the jar and restart. /arrowsadmin reload re-reads config.yml, effects.yml and the menu without touching the rest of the server — it deliberately does not reload the library, which is what /exylialib reload is for.
