Getting Started

Install SoapsFloor 1.2.4 and confirm it loads.

Requirements

Requirement Details
Plugins (depend) SoapsCommon
Soft (practical) WorldEdit for schematic paste and room building
Server Paper 26.1, 26.2, 26.3 · Spigot / Folia not supported
Java 21+ (Java 25 recommended)

Downloads are ZIPs. Extract the .jar into plugins/.

Installation

  1. Download SoapsCommon and SoapsFloor; extract both jars.
  2. Install WorldEdit (needed to paste schematics and build rooms).
  3. Put jars in plugins/ and fully restart (not /reload).
  4. Confirm SoapsFloor is green and plugins/SoapsFloor/ exists.
  5. Optional: MythicMobs (custom mobs), Vault / SoapsAdmin / SoapsQuest (locked-floor currency), Essentials or CMI (run soft hooks). See Integrations.
Symptom Fix
Red plugin, no data folder JAR still inside a ZIP, or SoapsCommon missing
SoapsCommon green, Floor red Check logs/latest.log for enable errors

First-run files

plugins/SoapsFloor/
  config.yml
  messages.yml
  gui.yml
  weaknesses.yml
  rewards.yml
  packs/
  schematics/
  rooms/
  data/

Bundled drop / climb packs and schematics extract when missing. Existing files are not overwritten.

Full defaults: Config Reference

Admin path

  1. /sf wand create <id> — build a test room (Floor Editor + Room Settings)
  2. /sf schematics — browse schematics, templates, and stair packs
  3. YAML — timers, party scaling, join signs, weakness pools, reward tables
  4. /sf reload — after YAML edits

Prefer the wand for rooms; YAML for global defaults and tables.

Reload policy

Change What to run
Wand / room editor saves Applied when you finish the room
YAML file edits /sf reload
Jar upgrade / first install Full server restart (not /reload)

Verify

Check Passes when
Enable Console shows SoapsFloor enabled; folder exists
Commands /sf help, /sf list, /sf menu work
Loop /sf join <room> → lobby → clear or climb → victory
Soft deps WorldEdit paste works; optional currency hooks only if installed
Empty /sf list with no rooms feels empty (not an error spam)
/sf help
/sf list
/sf menu
/sf wand create test

Common goals
