FAQ

Answers to things that come up repeatedly.

General

The plugin won't even load

Check the console for a missing-dependency error. FastAsyncWorldEdit is a hard dependency — the plugin refuses to start without it, and plain WorldEdit alone doesn't satisfy the requirement. See Integrations → FastAsyncWorldEdit.

Does /asb reload pick up a plugin update (a new jar)?

No. It re-reads config/messages/blocks/milestones/sounds/scoreboard files. Java is compiled once at server start — any change to the plugin's actual code requires a full server restart.

Arenas & Setup

How do I actually set up an arena?

/asb create <name> to register it, then /asb setup <arena> to enter wand-based setup mode and define its regions. /asb testsetup is available to sanity-check the wand flow itself if something feels off. Once set up, /asb enable <arena> opens it to players.

/asb duplicate failed with "make sure original has bounds"

The source arena hasn't had its region bounds properly defined through setup yet — duplication needs a complete, valid original to copy. Finish /asb setup on the original arena first.

A player's gate says "locked, wait for the countdown"

Expected — gates unlock on a timer rather than being freely toggleable. The open-duration itself scales with rebirth level (60s at rebirth 0, +10s per level after). There's no way to skip the countdown from the player side.

Rebirth & Prestige

/prestige won't let a player prestige even though they can afford it

Prestige isn't gated by money at all — it needs (1) a GOAT-rarity block currently sitting in storage, and (2) (current prestige + 1) × 10 total rebirths. Both conditions must be true at the same time; check Gameplay → Prestige for the exact numbers.

What actually happens when a player prestiges?

Their plot is physically rebuilt from a WorldEdit schematic in schematics/ via FastAsyncWorldEdit — it's a real structural change to their plot, not just a stat/number update.

Economy & Credits

Storage says full and won't accept a new block

Storage holds exactly one block at a time by design. Deliver it (let it ride the conveyor to completion) or sell/remove it before stealing another.

What's the difference between money and credits?

Money is the core gameplay currency — earned from stealing/delivering/selling blocks, spent on Rebirth. Credits are a separate premium-style currency, earned mainly from milestone rewards, and spent only in the Credits Store (/credits). They never mix or convert into each other automatically.

Can players pay each other?

No — there's no /pay command and no Vault integration, so no other plugin can move balances around either. /money//balance are read-only for players; only /asb money (admin) and /credits give/remove/reset (admin) can actually change a balance directly.

Permissions

A staff member has "the permission" but a command still refuses them

Almost certainly a spelling mismatch — check Permissions → A note on naming. The actual nodes are staleablock.admin (missing an "e") and stealblock.credits (missing the "a"), inconsistent with each other and with the plugin's own name. Copy the exact string from the Permissions page rather than typing it from memory.
