Getting Started

Install

  1. Install SoapsCommon and restart once.
  2. Place SoapsTowerDefense.jar in plugins/.
  3. Restart the server.
  4. Give yourself soapstd.admin (default: op) to build maps.

Create your first map

  1. Stand in the world where the map will live.
  2. Run /std wand create mymap (letters, numbers, _, - only, max 32 chars).
  3. Use the hotbar to place:
    • Green wool — mob spawn
    • Red wool — goal
    • Light blue wool — player spawn (optional)
    • Path blocks — route from spawn to goal
    • Yellow wool — tower build pads
  4. Run /std wand settings to set lives, gold, waves, and difficulty.
  5. Run /std wand done to save.
