Replacing PhoenixLobby or AxLobby
Which ExyliaLobby module covers each feature a lobby plugin usually provides, and what to rebuild by hand.
There is no automatic importer: ExyliaLobby has its own files and menus, and every setting is edited in game. Switch the old plugin off, install ExyliaLobby, and rebuild each feature from the table. The settings themselves are on the module pages.
Feature by feature
| A lobby plugin's feature | ExyliaLobby | Where |
|---|---|---|
Spawn point, /spawn, teleport on join | spawn module | on-join, points, warmup |
| Void teleport, respawn at spawn | spawn module | void-return, void-y, respawn |
| Which worlds or regions are the lobby | Lobby areas | config.yml → areas |
| Adventure mode, full health and hunger, fixed time and weather, permanent effects, fly | state module | game-mode, full-hunger, time, weather, effects, fly |
| World protection (build, break, damage, mobs, fire, containers) | protection module | one switch per rule; /lobbyadmin build to bypass |

What stays elsewhere
- Chat formatting and ranks in the tab list names are not handled.
chatonly controls the flow of messages; keep your chat plugin for the rest. - Menus other than the ones listed (a custom menu behind a hotbar button) are built with ExyliaLib
menus or ExyliaScreens, and opened with a button's
actions.
Steps
Note what you had
Copy out the spawn, the join messages, the servers and the hotbar items.
Swap the plugins
Remove the old lobby plugin's jar, install ExyliaLobby and start the server.
Rebuild
Follow First steps, then the module pages for what you used.
Check from a fresh account
Join as a non-operator, then leave the lobby area and confirm you get your own things back.
