Quickstart

Get SigmaTools up and running on your server in 5 minutes. This guide covers the absolute essentials to get you started.

Prerequisites​

  • Minecraft server running Spigot/Paper 1.17+
  • Java 17 or higher
  • Admin access to your server

Step 1: Download and Install​

  1. Download SigmaTools-1.0.3.jar from the releases page
  2. Place the JAR file in your server's plugins/ folder
  3. Start or restart your server

The plugin will create a plugins/SigmaTools/ folder with default configuration files.

Step 2: Give Yourself a Tool​

Once the server has started, give yourself a tool to test:

/sigmatools give pickaxe YourName

Replace YourName with your Minecraft username. You should receive a SigmaTools Pickaxe in your inventory.

Step 3: Test the Tool​

  1. Equip the SigmaTools Pickaxe in your main hand
  2. Break any block (stone, dirt, etc.)
  3. You should see a 3x3 area of blocks break around the target block
  4. Check the action bar - it shows your charges, durability, and economy stats

Step 4: Basic Configuration (Optional)​

The default configuration works out of the box, but you can customize it:

  1. Edit plugins/SigmaTools/config.yml
  2. Make your changes
  3. Reload the plugin:
/sigmatools reload

Common First-Time Configurations​

Disable a tool:

tools:
  bucket:
    enabled: false  # Disable the bucket tool

Change economy currency:

economy:
  enabled: true
  currency: "coins"  # Use CoinsEngine instead of Vault

Adjust tool costs:

economy:
  costs:
    pickaxe: 10.0  # Cost 10 currency per use

Step 5: Verify Everything Works​

Run the debug command to see plugin status:

/sigmatools debug status

You should see:

  • Master Debug status
  • Enabled categories
  • Integration status

Common First-Time Issues​

Tool doesn't work​

  • Check you have the tool in your main hand (not off-hand)
  • Verify you have permission: sigmatools.use.pickaxe (default: true)
  • Check if the tool is enabled in config: tools.pickaxe.enabled

Economy not working​

  • Ensure Vault or CoinsEngine is installed and working
  • Check economy.enabled: true in config
  • Verify currency setting matches your economy plugin

Protection plugins blocking tool​

  • Check protection integration is enabled in config
  • Verify you have permission to break blocks in the area
  • Use bypass permission: sigmatools.bypass.protection (default: op)
