Blockshop Premium Pack - Custom World Spawn
Miami Metropolis

Virtual Gladiators is proud to present custom World Spawns for your use! We've partnered with some incredibly talented builders to offer you pre-made, ready to use World Spawns for a fraction of the normal asking price.

But wait, there's more! We've also spent several hours having these spawns meticulously placed in a biome-appropriate location in a new world, and then pre-configured several plugins to get you started with ease!

The Miami Metropolis Spawn Pack spawns players in a small city with towering skyscrapers. Scattered around town are merchants selling all kinds of vehicles that players can ride and fight each other with. At the initial spawn point is a sign that will give players a Miami Metropolis handbook that explains how to earn money and how each vehicle works.

Server Owner Instructions:

/op has been DISABLED for all of our world packs. Someone will inevitably give op to their friend, who ops their friend, and next thing you know spawn is full of TNT and we are asked to restore the server from backups.

You DO NOT NEED op permissions to be an admin on your own server! Instead, from the Multicraft Control Panel, click on Console, then make yourself an admin with the following command:

lp user YOURPLAYERNAME parent set admin

Where YOURPLAYERNAME is the name of your Minecraft player in-game. (DO NOT use a leading / in the console!) You will then have all the permissions you need to configure all plugins from in-game, as well as put yourself in creative mode so you can edit the spawn area to your liking.

Here are some things we have configured for you already:

Spawn area has already been protected and configured with everything players need to get started.

There is a CommandSign that will give players a detailed Handbook when clicked.

Added holographic displays that can be easily edited.

NPC's (non-player characters) are setup in shops around spawn for players to purchase vehicles and ammo.

Pre-configured Matrix, an incredible anti-cheat & anti-hack plugin.

Pre-configured some permissions using LuckPerms to allow players access to what they need, and admins to be able to control everything.

The server icon has already been configured.

This pack is ready to play with no owner intervention required! However, please be aware of some things we have enabled or disabled on purpose to ensure fair gameplay:

Vehicles that are damaged do not function as well.
Except for the Raft and Parachute, vehicles will smoke when damaged more than 50%, and start flaming under 35% health. They become less and less responsive and controllable the more they are damaged.

Players will receive $100 for killing another player.

Non-admins must use the NPC's to purchase vehicles.
Admins have the ability to use commands to open vehicle shops from anywhere. Give yourself some cash for testing with
/eco give yourplayername 10000

/vehicles shop <vehicle name>
/vehicles shop helicopter

All shop names: bike, broom, car, helicopter, hoverbike, parachute, plane, raft, submarine, tank, train

The broom vehicle is disabled.
It's simply too hard to damage players riding a broom. Only admins can purchase a broom from the shop using the shop commands above.

Terrain damage from Vehicles is disabled, but the explosion from missiles and bombs still hurts everything in the blast radius.
You can change the option "weaponsDamageTerrain" in config.yml if you want to enable terrain damage, but be warned that the world will be quickly destroyed!

Also, tanks shooting at each other becomes pointless very quickly, as a crater opens under them, forcing the player to get out, grab the vehicle, climb out of the hole, then find another spot to deploy the tank.

Vehicles cannot be damaged or stolen when parked.
This is both to ensure fair gameplay, and to reduce server lag.

If the number of abandoned vehicles becomes an issue, an admin can remove nearby vehicles with the following command:

/vehicles remove <mine | others | all> <radius>

So to remove vehicles that belong to OTHER players in a 10 block radius from where you're standing:

/vehicles remove others 10

*** DO NOT use the remove "all" or "other" options near the shops in spawn or the vehicles outside the shops will be removed!

Admins can ride and thus "steal" any parked player vehicle. A warning in chat will show if the vehicle is not your own. The permission node for this ability is "vehicles.override.owner"

Vehicles cannot be repaired by players.

An admin with can repair a vehicle by riding it and typing:

/vehicles repair

The permission node for this is "vehicles.repair", and admins have this by default.

Player damage while riding vehicles is nerfed appropriate to the vehicle type.

See the config.yml for "damageReduction" values of each vehicle. It's a percentage of damage reduced. Bikes have "0.2", which is 20%. That means if someone were to hit a player riding a bike with an attack that normally does 10 damage, the Vehicles plugin reduces that by 20 percent, making them only take 8 damage instead. Tanks have over 95% damage reduction, but tank and helicopter missiles do a LOT OF DAMAGE to begin with.

Vehicles only work in the overworld!

You can change config.yml if you want vehicles to work in the nether and The End.

Player Instructions:

Join the server with Minecraft client 1.12.2 through 1.14.4, grab a book from the sign and spawn and read the handbook to get started fast. It has everything you need to know to get started.

To the right is a random teleport portal, and behind the spawn point is a Nether portal.

Scattered around spawn are Vehicle Shops. To start, you'll only have enough money to buy a bike, so get your friends to join so you can kill them and start making money!

Once you buy some vehicles, random TP somewhere, have your friend join you with /tpahere <player>, then battle it out!

Special Credit:

The custom Vehicles plugin we've created was based on the Vehicles plugin by Pollitoyeye. (Unfortunately he abandoned the plugin leaving many paying customers without updates for newer versions of Minecraft.) We've borrowed heavily from his awesome plugin and then added a TON of missing features to make for fair and fun game play. This includes vehicle visible damage and handicaps, appropriate damage nerfing to players while riding vehicles, ability to purchase vehicle ammunition in the shops, tanks that crush the terrain as they drive, the ability to enable or disable terrain (block) damage from weapons, sound effects and visual effects when a vehicle is attacked, and a few more small things that weren't working properly or at all.
