Is normal survival Minecraft not challenging enough? Say no more.

GrowingWorld allows you and your friends to start out on just a small 10x10 area surrounded by a worldborder.

You can grow your world by working together and getting advancements!

Careful, it's hard to fight mobs when you only have one chunk to work with!



How to Play:

Drop the plugin into your plugins folder. Start a fresh world. Use the command /gwshrink, and join the world! It's recommended to play this with friends, because everyone's advancements count towards growing the worldborder!


GrowingWorld features a few commands to make life easier:

/shrinkworldborder - Shrinks the worldborder to 10x10. (Alias: /gwshrink)

/startworldborderexpanding - The worldborder will now grow every x minutes, depending on the settings in the config.yml. (Default = 2 minutes, alias: /gwstart)

/stopworldborderexpanding - Stops the world border from expanding over time. (alias: /gwstop)

/setallowrecipeadvancements [true|false] - Sets whether or not unlocking recipes should count towards the worldborder growing. (Default = false, alias = /gwrecipes)

/clearadvancements [Playername | @a] - Allows you to clear the advancements of any online player.

Metrics / Data-collection

GrowingWorld uses bStats to collect data. You can disable bStats data-collection in the bStats-config (Serverroot -> plugins -> bStats -> config.yml -> enabled: false). Additionally, you can also specifically stop data-collection for GrowingWorld by changing the allow-metrics field, in the config.yml, to false.


GrowingWorld collects the following datapoints:

• Amount of servers that run GrowingWorld and amount of players using these servers - I keep track of these metrics so I know what level of active development is expected of me.
• Online/Offline mode - I do not support the use Offline servers; therefore, I need to know if and when to block service for Offline servers.
• Server Software - Allows me to anticipate and mend problems based on the known problems and bugs of the server software.
• Plugin Version - Allows me to investigate what makes one version more appealing than another.
• System Information (Core count, Architecture, OS) - Allows me to anticipate and mend problems based upon System properties.
• Server Location - I may enable localization, but I need to know for what regions.
• Java Version - Once a significant amount of servers use Java 9 or higher, I too can switch to developing using a higher version.

Tech-support
In an effort not to clutter the plugin-page with tech-support, I'd like to ask you to either message me privately on Discord (GrinchDev#6592), or open a ticket over at the GrowingWorld Github Page.
