Setup First Dungeon

This guide treats admin GUI as primary setup surface. Use detailed command reference in Admin Commands when you need full syntax.

Primary Workflow

  1. Install dependencies and boot server once so AramDungeons writes default files and plugins/AramDungeons/imports/.
  2. Put each stage schematic file into plugins/AramDungeons/imports/.
  3. Create template id with /ad admin dungeon create tutorial.
  4. Open admin GUI with /ad admin dungeon edit tutorial.
  5. In dungeon-level setup, save source dungeon anchor first, then save lobby, spectator, and exit points from same source/template build area.
  6. Open stage selector from dungeon editor and enter each stage setup screen. Stage buttons are labeled by stage number, such as Stage 1 and Stage 2.
  7. In each stage screen, save stage anchor first, then assign that stage’s schematic file after you import it.
  8. Save stage combat, supply, and checkpoint teleports from stage screen.
  9. Copy combat and supply regions from current FAWE selection by using stage region actions in GUI, or fallback command if you prefer command flow.
  10. Save all supply NPC roles from stage screen: augment, stats, potion, exp, and craft.
  11. Populate combat rounds from stage screen by adding spawn points for every required combat round.
  12. Populate boss spawns from stage screen for boss round.
  13. Return to dungeon editor and run validation.
  14. Use preview from dungeon editor to confirm saved anchors, teleports, NPCs, and spawns line up with source build.
  15. Enable dungeon from dungeon editor when validation passes.
  16. Start /ad admin test tutorial, or join through normal player flow after enable if you want end-to-end verification.

Commands You Still Need

Use commands only for steps GUI does not fully replace yet:

/ad admin dungeon create tutorial
/ad admin dungeon edit tutorial
/ad admin schematic import tutorial 1 stage-1.schem
/ad admin region copy tutorial 1 combat
  • Use dungeon create once to create or switch current template id.
  • Use dungeon edit to enter admin GUI.
  • Use schematic import for each stage after file exists in plugins/AramDungeons/imports/.
  • Use region copy only as fallback if you want command path instead of stage region button after making FAWE selection.

Stage Checklist

Repeat this checklist for every stage:

  • stage anchor saved from stage screen
  • schematic assigned and import file exists
  • combat teleport saved
  • supply teleport saved
  • checkpoint saved
  • combat region copied from FAWE selection
  • supply region copied from FAWE selection
  • augment NPC saved inside supply region
  • stats NPC saved inside supply region
  • potion NPC saved inside supply region
  • exp NPC saved inside supply region
  • craft NPC saved inside supply region
  • combat rounds populated for rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 unless main-config.yml changed round model
  • boss spawn populated for round 7 unless main-config.yml changed boss round

Validation Rules Worth Remembering

  • Missing dungeon anchor fails validation.
  • Missing stage anchor fails stage setup.
  • Missing schematic file path or missing import file fails validation.
  • Missing combat, supply, or checkpoint points fail validation.
  • Missing supply NPC role fails validation.
  • Missing combat spawns for required combat rounds fail validation.
  • Missing boss spawns fail validation.
  • Spawns outside combat region fail validation.
  • Supply NPCs or supply teleport outside supply region fail validation.
  • Unknown MythicMob ids fail validation.
