🤔Frequently Asked Questions

Here you can find a list of the questions we get asked the most. If you feel like something is missing, don't hesitate to let us know, and don't be afraid to ask! We'd love to hear your feedback.

Do Abyss plugins have Hex Color Support?

All Abyss Series plugins support Hex Color codes in the #hex format, which can be used for messages, GUIs, action bars, titles, and anything else you can think of. This is only available for 1.16 and higher as anything below that does NOT support hex colors and you have to use the default Minecraft chat colors and their appropriate formatting.

Do Messages support more than just Chat and Sound?

Yes! You can add action bars, titles, and you can even define fade-in/stay/fade-out values for them. All of our messages support this across all plugins. If any of these values aren't defined in the format, they won't be sent. So you don't have to keep them there and disable them either. You can remove them if you wish. Here's an example!

Message Format Example

"format-example":
    sound:
        enabled: true / false
        value: "BLOCK_NOTE_PLING"
        volume: 1
        pitch: 1
    action-bar:
        enabled: true / false
        value: "&aExample action bar"
    title:
        enabled: true / false
        title: "&aMain title"
        sub-title: "&Sub title"
        advanced:
            fade-in-ticks: 20
            stay-ticks: 20
            fade-out-ticks: 20
    message:
        enabled: true / false
        value:
            - "&aExample message line 1"
            - "&cExample message line 2"

What can I do with Items? Do they support Custom Model Data or Player Skulls? Potions?

In addition to the basic item customization options, you can perform a range of advanced modifications:

• Enchant Items: Apply enchantments to items, including specifying enchantment levels.

• Glow Effect: Define items as "enchanted" to make them glow.

• Potion Customization: Apply various potion types to bottles or potion arrows.

• Custom Item Flags: Add unique item flags to customize item behavior.

• Custom Skull Textures: Define skull textures using base64 encoding or by specifying a player's name.

• Leather Colorization: Change the color of leather items to any RGB color code you desire.

With these capabilities, you have extensive control over item attributes and appearances, enabling highly personalized and varied item configurations. Here's an example below!

Important Note: You cannot have all of these values at once as they aren't all compatible with each other. They are being displayed this way to show you all of the capabilities of your creative mind!

Can I change the storage type from JSON to a database, and will my data sync across my servers?

Depending on the plugin you're using, then yes 100%. All of our plugins that have Data Saving both implement JSON and SQL Storage types, and we are working on MongoDB support, which will be coming in the near future. Here's an example of thestorage.yml file that can be configured in every plugin that saves data.

storage.yml (Each plugin that handles data has a storage.yml)

storage:
  type: "JSON" # JSON | SQL
  host: 0.0.0.0
  username: "username"
  password: "password"
  database: "database"
  port: 3306
