Frequently Asked Questions

How do I revive a player?​

Players can be revived by using /varo revive <player>.

How do I remove the name tags at spawn?​

Spawns can be deleted with /varo spawns delete <spawn>. If the spawns are already deleted and only the name tags are still there or you reset the plugin without clearing up the spawns first, you need to kill the armor stands manually. On Minecraft 1.8.8 you can use /minecraft:kill @e[type=Armorstand] to kill all armor stands. On other Minecraft versions, the command may vary slightly. Please always make a backup before using /kill!

How do I give a player more sessions?​

You can edit the player's stats through the GUI. Use /varo player <player> and change the number sessions by clicking. Alternatively, use /varo stats add sessions <number> <player> or /varo stats add sessions <number> @a to give sessions to all players.

My time is incorrect!​

The time is set by the server, not the plugin! On Debian or Ubuntu, you can easily change the time by running dpkg-reconfigure tzdata in a shell (tested on Debian 12). If you do not have access to a shell, you need to contact your server provider.

My server isn’t open to everyone, what should I do?​
