Social Network

The Social Network is a plug-in that attempts to add a social environment to your server by allowing players to be placed into different types of social groups.

Uses Metrics for sending completely anonymous data to http://mcstats.org for usage tracking.

CraftBukkit 1.4.7-R1.0

The current version of Social Network appears to be working correctly on CB 1.4.7-R1.0. If you run into specific problems, please report it to me.

What are the social groups ?

There are multiple types of "social groups" you can belong to:

• Friends
• Relationships
• Affairs
• Children
• Engagements
• Marriages
• Divorces

Along with those, we also have:

• Divorce Lawyers
• Priests
• Admin commands

Optionally you can choose to use these to be the only way people can get married or divorced. By default players will be able to marry and divorce each other using their own commands.

What do we get for being in a social group ?

Social Perks

Each social group is also given what we call "Perks". Each of these Perks can be assigned in any particular manner to each group as you see fit.

Currently the following Perks are available:

• Sending private messages to each other while online
• Sending a "sticky" to a player via message system.
• Teleporting to/from each other. Also, choosing a "home" teleport.
• Sending cash or item gifts to each other via message system.
• Stopping players from being damaged by others in their group.

3rd Party Integration Perks:

• World Guard integration. Allows access to regions for members of social groups.
• LWC integration. Allows access to protected items for members of social groups.

NEW

• Earn extra xp when killing monsters with others.
• Regain: Regain health at a higher (or lower!) rate when near others in your groups.
• Share food gains when someone in your groups eats while near you.

To learn more about the Perks themselves, visit our Wiki Perk Library.

Permission Groups

Each social group can be assigned a permissions group allowing you to add/remove other plug-in features when they change into various social groups. These are additive-only and will not replace or remove existing groups for a person.

These are not the permissions of this plug-in, instead, these allow you to match permissions from other plug-ins to social groups.

For more details, visit our Configuration page.
