Get Started

Hello there, welcome to this quick start guide. This guide will guide you through the simple setup, and configuration of React!

Get React

Once you have purchased React Here, go ahead and download the latest version, and drop it into your plugins folder as usual. Once you have done this, there are three ways you can load it in

  • You could Use PlugMan /plugman load React
  • You could reboot your server
  • You could also use /reload, however this is not the best idea. Its not safe for a production environment.

Configure

Once you have react running on your server, you could leave it as is, however there are a few things you should check out before continuing. They are all configurable and easy to work with.

Once you have configured everything to your liking, go ahead and use /react reload (or /re reload). This will load the configuration files in and ensure they are working properly.

Monitor

Monitoring is a core part of react, and can help you determine your server performance, and what might be causing an issue. For more information on monitoring check out the Monitoring page for more details.

Problems & Issues

If you have any issues, please check this page FIRST!. We have put a lot of work in to this, and would be happy to help you. Please view that if you have an issue!

Although React is decent at supporting multiple versions of servers, there are always changes and all sorts of problems that can happen. To better help others who run into common issues, this page will be added to with issues and fixes for common problems.

Flavour of Bukkit

There are many types of bukkit flavours of bukkit which all do different things that can sometimes be unexpected. Please view the list below to see if your version is compatible.

  • Spigot (1.8/1.9) Supported, Tested
  • PaperSpigot (1.8/1.9) View Below for PaperSpigot
  • TacoSpigot (1.8/1.9) View Below for PaperSpigot; Untested
  • Migot (1.8) Untested
  • Bukkit (1.7.9) Should work, Not recommended. Use Spigot.
  • CraftBukkit (1.8/1.9) Not recommended. Use Spigot

Paper Spigot Users

Within paper spigot, there are some options that can hinder the way react works. Please ensure that within your paper.yml, you have

# Ensure you set this to true
# If it is set to false, react will not be able
# to fix any Redstone related problems.
fire-physics-event-for-redstone: true

Java Version

Although java can be forwards compatible, there are a lot of issues that can happen with outdated and unsupported versions. React runs on Java 8. You will need to have Java 8 or newer to use React.

Minecraft Version

Here, you can view any compatibility issues with your Minecraft version. X stands for anything. For example, 1.9.x consists of 1.9, 1.9.1, and 1.9.2.

1.9.X

All features of React are supported with Minecraft 1.9.x

1.8.X

All features of React are supported with Minecraft 1.8.x

1.7.X

All features of react work with Minecraft 1.7.x, however, some features cannot be used at the level of the newer versions of Minecraft such that:

  • Maps render very slowly. They work, but it can be difficult to read.
  • Monitoring via the Action bar does not work properly. A chat message will be sent instead

World Edit Version

Please ensure that your world edit version is up to date, as React needs to properly communicate with World Edit to determine lag sources. The current supported version of world edit is 6.1 or later.

If all else fails

If all else fails, try the following

  • Delete the React/ folder in the plugins directory, then use /react reload
  • Submit an issue Here.
  • Contact the developer on Skype (cyberpwn) or on Spigot
