Installation · FlareTokens Wiki

Getting started

Download FlareTokens-<version>.jar and put it in plugins/.
Start the server. All files are created by themselves (see the table below).
PlaceholderAPI is downloaded and started automatically if missing (auto-install in config.yml).

File
`config.yml`	main settings
`lang/en.yml`	every message
`shops/`	your shops (`main.yml` hub, `ranks.yml`, `items.yml` examples)
`menus/`	the plugin menus (`tokens.yml`, `top.yml`, `history.yml`, `confirm.yml`, `admin.yml`)
`drops.yml`	tokens from mobs (off by default)

Tip: keep only one FlareTokens jar in plugins/. Two jars (for example 3.1.5 and 4.0.0) means the server loads the wrong one.

Updating from FlareTokens 3.x

Updating from 3.x

Just replace the jar. On the first start:

your old files are saved in plugins/FlareTokens/backup-3.x/
storage, MySQL, first-join tokens, pay and cheque settings move to the new config.yml
your shops move from shop/ to shops/ (same format, they work as they are and can be edited in the editor)
balances are not touched: same data/data.db, same MySQL table, same data/data.yml
old cheques can still be redeemed; the 3.x placeholders and permissions keep working
messages are now in lang/en.yml: if you edited the old locale/en.yml, copy your texts from the backup

Removed in 4.0: check(javascript,...) (Java has no JavaScript engine any more, use check(expression;a;op;b)) and [op(...)] (unsafe, use [CONSOLE] with {player}).

Updating between 4.x versions

Replace the jar. New options and messages are added to your files by themselves; your edits are never touched.
