Party Extension for Duels Optimized v1.16.1

DuelsFlexParty v1.3.0
Party Alias Override, Time Limits, Whitelist/Blacklist & Critical Fixes​

---

✦ New Features

1. /party Command Override

• /party now overrides the Duels plugin's built-in /party command
• Toggle with party-alias-override in config
• Lets players use the shorter alias without conflict

2. Match Time Limit System

• Set match-time-limit in minutes (0 = off)
• If nobody wins within the time limit, the match ends as a draw
• Prevents stalled or AFK matches from running forever

3. Whitelist & Blacklist Command Restriction

• Command restriction now supports both modes via command-restriction.mode
• blacklist = block only listed commands (existing behavior)
• whitelist = allow only listed commands, block everything else
• Operators bypass all command restrictions during queue and match

4. Fully Customizable Help & Usage Messages

• All help and usage messages are now editable in config
• %cmd% placeholder support for dynamic command names
• Match your server's branding and language

5. Configurable Item Drops on Death

• Item drops on death are now configurable via death-spectate.drop-items
• Decide whether eliminated players drop their items or vanish them

6. Configurable Match End Delay

• Set match-end-delay in seconds to control the wait before players teleport back
• Lets you tune the post-match window to taste

---

✦ Changes

• Spectator-on-death removed eliminated players are now teleported back to spawn immediately (see Bug Fixes for why)
• /flexparty spec leave command removed no longer needed with spectator mode gone
• Risk inventory selected button changed from green wool to red wool for better visual feedback

---

✦ Bug Fixes

• Fixed teammates being able to kill each other during match end delay (2v2 friendly fire exploit)
• Fixed spectators spawning at world spawn instead of staying in the arena (feature then removed entirely)
• Fixed teammates spawning scattered in Teams mode, now grouped using spawn clustering
• Fixed item drops being cleared even in risk-inventory matches

---

✦ New Config Options

YAML:

party-alias-override: true       # override Duels' /party command
match-time-limit: 0              # minutes, 0 = no limit
match-end-delay: 5               # seconds before teleport back
command-restriction.mode: blacklist  # blacklist or whitelist
death-spectate.drop-items: false # item drops on death

---

Update now to lock down command abuse, end stalled matches cleanly, and fix the 2v2 friendly fire exploit.
All new options have safe defaults, existing setups continue working untouched.​

DuelsFlexParty v1.2.0
Risk Inventory, Command Blocking, Customizable GUI & more​

---

✦ New Features

1. Risk Inventory Mode

• Players fight with their own items instead of kits, and lose them on death
• GUI toggle button in party creation screen (slot 20)
• Command: /flexparty join risk-inventory [ffa|teams]
• Config toggle: risk-inventory.enabled: true/false
• Match winners keep their inventory; eliminated players lose theirs

2. Command Blocking (Queue & Match)

• Blocks commands like /tp, /home, /spawn, /warp while in queue or match
• Configurable list in config.yml → blocked-commands
• Add or remove any command from the list
• Custom deny message: messages.command-blocked

3. Kit Mode Toggle

• Enable or disable kit selection entirely: match-modes.kits: true/false
• When false, risk-inventory is forced and the kit selector is hidden from the GUI
• Works just like the existing match-modes.ffa / match-modes.teams toggles

4. Customizable GUI

• Auto-hide disabled options: gui.creation.auto-hide-disabled: true makes buttons for disabled features (FFA, Teams, Risk Inventory, Kit) automatically vanish from the menu
• Configurable slot positions: every GUI button position is configurable under gui.creation.slots
• Default slot layout:
  • teams-mode: 11
  • ffa-mode: 15
  • risk-inventory: 20
  • kit: 22
  • decrease: 30
  • count: 31
  • increase: 32
  • create: 40
• Change any slot number to rearrange your party creation menu

5. WorldGuard Region Restriction

• Restrict party create/join to a specific WorldGuard region
• Config:
  
  YAML:

  worldguard:
    enabled: false
    required-region: "lobby"

• Soft dependency, works without WorldGuard installed (restriction silently skipped)
• Custom deny message: messages.not-in-region (supports %region% placeholder)

6. Spectator Mode on Death

• Eliminated players enter Spectator mode in the arena (like the Duels plugin) instead of teleporting to spawn
• Players spectate until the match ends, then get teleported back
• Config: death-spectate.enabled: true/false
• Custom message: messages.now-spectating
