Your server version is not supported by Murder Mystery!
Sadly, we must shut off. Maybe you consider changing your server version?
Players can't join through signs
This is a very common problem in every minigame plugin.
It's caused by spawn protection feature in vanilla Minecraft.
To disable this go to server.properties and change spawn-protection value to 0.
note
Info! You can no longer create signs in radius of spawn protection since Murder Mystery 1.1.2, you'll be warned instead.
Corpses last words and their permissions
important
Since version 1.7.5 you can add as many last words + permissions as you want.
How to add new ones?
Last-Words:
'default':
Message: "&fPlease respawn :("
'meme':
Message: "&fDespacito 2 is confirmed by God"
Permission: "murdermystery.lastwords.meme"
'rage':
Message: "&fWHY YOU KILLED ME?!!?"
Permission: "murdermystery.lastwords.rage"
'pro':
Message: "&fIt was lagging..."
Permission: "murdermystery.lastwords.pro"
'hacker':
Message: "Turn off your hacks..."
Permission: "murdermystery.lastwords.hacker"
###HOW TO ADD A NEW ONE
'newLastWord':
Message: "Awesome new last word"
Permission: "murdermystery.lastwords.nicenewpermission"
How it works?
For all last words a player has permissions to, a last word is randomly picked and displayed.
If the player has no access to any last word, either the last word with no permission (priority) or the first one in the list will be picked out (fallback)
Deprecated (lower 1.7.5)
info
Last words are written in their permission order! First is meme so it will be displayed if player has both permissions for meme and pro for example.
| Priority | Last word | Description | Permission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Meme | Despacito 2 is confirmed by God | murdermystery.lastwords.meme |
| 2 | Rage | WHY YOU KILLED ME?!!? | murdermystery.lastwords.rage |
| 3 | Pro | It was lagging... | murdermystery.lastwords.pro |
| 4 | Default | Please respawn :( | None |
Bow trails
Which particles/trails are inside the plugin?
You can use all particles that are on your minecraft version as we are importing the particles of the server version that is running
How it works?
For all trails a player has permissions to, a trail is randomly picked and displayed.
If the player has no access to any trail, it will not display any trail.
What are the permissions for trails?
murdermystery.trails.<lowercased_particle_name>
tip
Example you want to give the heart particle to your players.
Particle name: HEART -> lowercased: heart -> Permission: murdermystery.trails.heart
Deprecated (lower 1.7.5)
info
Trails are written in their permission order! First is heart so it will be displayed if player has both permissions for heart and flame for example.
| Priority | Particle type | Permission |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hearts | murdermystery.trails.heart |
| 2 | Flames | murdermystery.trails.flame |
| 3 | Critical | murdermystery.trails.critical |
| 4 | Cloud | murdermystery.trails.cloud |
Can I increase chance of being Detective/Murderer?
You can check special permission nodes:
murdermystery.role.detective.<1/100>
murdermystery.role.murderer.<1/100>
Setting up for example murdermystery.role.detective.15 will give you 15 more points for being a detective
note
Info! Please avoid giving very high percentage values because other normal users will likely never be able to play as one of these roles
How to remove an special block?
Just look at any specialblock and type in
/mma removeblock
warning
Make sure that you have the permission: murdermystery.admin.removeblock
How does randomjoin work?
There are kinda like two cases:
All arenas on waiting for players stage: It will send players to a random arena
One (or more) arenas are on starting stage: It will send players to one random arena that is on starting stage
How can I enable my old Scoreboard after leaving the game?

You have to enable rewards in your config.yml ( Rewards-Enabled: true )
Please edit the following section in your rewards.yml file:
#Helpful for servers that are using more than one scoreboard!
scoreboard_remove:
