Installation

For server owners adding Realty to a Paper server.

---

What to install

• Paper 1.21.8 and Java 21.
• MariaDB (Database).
• Vault and a Vault-compatible economy. Without both, Realty disables itself at startup.
• WorldGuard and WorldEdit. Plots are WorldGuard regions, and staff use WorldEdit to select land for those regions and for /realty create and subregions.
• Essentials is optional.

---

Plugin file

Use a release JAR, or build with Gradle (Building). Use the realty-paper build whose filename ends with -all.

---

Setup steps

1. Database — Create an empty MariaDB database and a user who can create and alter tables.
2. Plugins folder — Add Vault, your economy plugin, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, and Realty to plugins/.
3. First start — Start the server once so Realty creates plugins/Realty/.
4. Connection — Set database.yml to a working connection (Database). An empty url disables the plugin until you fix it and restart.
5. Economy — If the console reports no economy, install Vault and an economy provider.
6. Config — Change settings.yml, profiles.yml, or messages.yml if you need to (Configuration).
7. Permissions — Give each role the nodes it needs from Permissions. Avoid blanket wildcards.
