A custom event world

Fighting the dragon in an end map you built, from loading the map to the first test event.

A custom world is an end map you built or downloaded. The plugin keeps the original folder untouched and fights every event in a fresh copy of it, so whatever players break or build is gone by the next event.

What you need

The map's world folder, built as an end world. The plugin loads it as the End, whatever it was saved as.
A world plugin to load the map once while you set the spawn points, such as Worlds or Multiverse-Core.

Step by step

Load the map. Put the world folder in your server folder and load it with your world plugin, for example /mv import mymap end with Multiverse-Core.
Set the player spawn. Go to the map, stand where players should arrive, and run /dragon setcustomspawn.
Set the dragon spawn. Stand where the dragon should appear and run /dragon setdragonspawn.
Save. Run /dragon save. Only the position and the facing are stored, not the world's name, so the two points apply to every copy of the map.
Unload the map. Teleport out, save and unload the world with your world plugin, and stop the server.
Move the folder. Move the world folder into plugins/uxmDragonEvent/. The uid.dat file is skipped when the plugin copies it, so you do not need to delete it.
Turn it on in config.yml:
```
custom-world:
  enabled: true
  type: CUSTOM
  folder-name: "mymap"
```
folder-name is the folder's exact name, capital letters included.
Test. Start the server, run /dragon start, join, and check that players and the dragon appear where you set them. Then /dragon stop.

Things to know


The copy	A new copy is made before every event, so changes you make to the original folder apply from the next event
The spawn platform	The plugin places a 5 by 5 obsidian platform at x 0, y 50, z -30 and clears the three blocks above it in every event world. Keep that spot free in your map
The world border	`world-border` applies to the copy. Set its centre to your arena. See Worlds and the border
No dragon spawn	If `/dragon setdragonspawn` was never run, the event ends as soon as it starts and the console says why
No player spawn	Players arrive next to the map's own spawn point, or on the platform with Worlds and `spawn-type: PLATFORM`. Set the spawn so it does not depend on the world plugin

You can also set or correct either point during a running event: /dragon teleport takes you into the event's copy without joining, and the commands work there as well. Run /dragon save afterwards.
