My experience comes from previous internships and a large number of portfolio projects demonstrating advanced knowledge of many technologies—take a look at some of what I've done!

This time I am running a server software called purpur which is simply a fork of Bukkit

Suggestions.

After a while of testing it on your server, and now setting it up on mine. I have some suggestions.

• Allow you to change the co-ords of lobby
• Add a command to toggle building when in said lobby.
• Protect spawns against TnT & cannons

1.17.1 Support issue

latest 2.log
Massive Issue with timer and actually starting the game, ignore the very bottom of the log as we just mess around.

Urgent: Plugin fails/ed to initialise

Doing /pl on your server shows it didn't load

Couple of Questions.

Hi, while setting this up on my server, I have a few questions which you can take your time answering.

• In map_(name).yml on line 16, could you explain what 'attacker_block_prot_minute_z: (n)' Means in terms of protection which way does the protection occur from
• Is there multi map support, I see it on the roadmap, but is there any half completed support or not.
• Why are all the max & min's in Z, do the maps have to be oriented in this way to work.

Then 3 basic requests

• Can you add a config option for the assault command /help to not override normal /help if you have a permission?
• Add more game modifiers like First to 5 (stars) or Most stars in 8 minutes
• Options for multiple defender spawnpoints

World Protection

It does not appear to work for Cacti, Dead bushes, and Cobwebs

NPC's doesn't appear to spawn

Title says it all, this is again on your example server

Plugin won't initialise

Demo Server slightly broken.............

I don't know where to put this but your server advertised on https://thenathan.space/assault/ is a bit broken
Firstly it is raining in the hub
Secondly I get an error for everything server I attempt to connect to

Error on clicking star

https://hastebin.com/ogibolubol.yaml
All dependencies installed and running recommended software on latest version

assault:assaultadmin

commands listed by performing assault:assaultadmin have the command assault which isn't a registered command.

Being Kicked for spam and flying

On your test server I appear to be kicked from the game for spamming whenever I perform /shout and when I went to the other side of the island thing I got flung about and ended up being kicked for flying.

/all command is a bit broken

See video for explanation

Plugin won't start

I know this is a config error, but how can I resolve it?

Lobby allows dropping of Items

When in the lobby you can drop all items except the Guide. This allows for item duping as a side note
