TrueFalseQuiz [1.16 - 1.21.11]

TrueFalseQuiz [1.16 - 1.21.11] -----

Host a quiz on your server! Engage your players!

Added: German, French + Dutch language files
Changed: Made integrated placeholders more efficient behind the scenes

Please note that the legacy (messages.yml) file will still be used by the plugin if it exists, so people have time to update to the new system. Support for the legacy file will be removed in a future update. Make sure you transfer your messages from the "messages.yml" file to your chosen language file ("lang_en", "lang_es", etc).

----------, Mar 17, 2026

TFQuiz 1.5.1

Added: Multi-language support (Current languages: English + Spanish). Click here for more information.

Added: A console warning message to remove and transfer the contents of your legacy messages.yml file.
Please note that the legacy file will still be used by the plugin if it exists, so people have time to update to the new system. Support for the legacy file will be removed in a future update.

TFQuiz 1.1.0

Fixed: A bug where, if you closed a game, players would remain in it.
Added: Ability to start + end games via command

/tf game <gameID> start
- Starts the countdown, and the game will begin once the countdown gets to 0. This bypasses the minimum required players, but there must be atleast 1 player in the game.
- You cannot use this on games that have schedulers set up
/tf game <gameID> end
- This ends the game at the end of that round. It will announce all those who remain in play as winners.
- Ending a game when its in the countdown stage, just stops the countdown, all players remain.
- You cannot use this on games that have schedulers set up
/tf game <gameID> end -without
- Use the flag “-without” to immediately end the game without any winners.
- You cannot use this on games that have schedulers set up
