Installation

1. Copy Checkers.jar into your Bukkit plugins/ folder.
2. Optional: If you want Economy support, you will also need to install the Vault plugin, if you don't already have it.
3. Optional: If you have WorldEdit installed, terrain will be automatically backed up when boards are created (and restored upon board deletion). WorldEdit v5.3+ is required - WorldEdit-5.3-SNAPSHOT or any earlier release will not work.
4. Optional (1.1.0+): If you have Dynmap installed, checkers boards will be marked on your maps.
5. Restart or reload your server.
