Plugin configuration

The default behavior of BeautyQuests should suit your basic needs. However, you might want to tweak some bits. Fortunately, many parts of BeautyQuests are configurable via its configuration file!

1. Open the plugins/BeautyQuests/config.yml file in your text editor.

2. Change the settings you need.

   Note

   The configuration file is a YAML file. If you are not familiar with this file format, you can read this guide.

   Useful configuration options

   To begin with, you might want to change the lang option from en_US to your own language (e.g. fr_FR for French). This is what your config.yml file should look like:

   # Chosen lang (file name) Available by default: ...
   lang: en_US
   lang: fr_FR

3. Save the file.

4. Restart your server.

   Danger

   Do not use the /reload command. This will most likely result in weird bugs.

Changing Minecraft objects language

A lot of BeautyQuests features rely on vanilla Minecraft objects. For instance, you can ask the players to fetch 10 oak logs or kill 5 spiders. By default, BeautyQuests will display those vanilla objects in the quest description in English. If your server is not in English and you changed BeautyQuests language (using the lang configuration option), then the description will be a weird mix of English and another language:

In order to fix that, BeautyQuests has a useful “vanilla translation” feature that uses the Minecraft language files to show the vanilla objects in any language you want.

1. Run /bq downloadTranslations <lang> where lang is the language you want to download.

   Language names

   The language name is usually in lowercase, e.g. uk_ua.

   You can find the list of languages in your Minecraft installation assets, or on an online viewer.

   

   If the command succeeded, a new JSON file appeared in your plugins/BeautyQuests folder (in our case, uk_ua.json). It contains the translated names of all Minecraft strings.

2. Open plugins/BeautyQuests/config.yml and set the minecraftTranslationsFile option to the name of the language you downloaded in the first step.

   minecraftTranslationsFile: ''
   minecraftTranslationsFile: 'uk_ua'

3. Save the file.

4. Restart your server.

Now the Minecraft objects are translated too!
