ServerSelectorX Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first server selection menu?
Use the `/ssx-custom:menu` command to open the menu editor, then configure your layout, add server buttons, and customize icons and text to match your network. Save your menu and it will be ready for players to access through the command or item binding you set up.
Can I show how many players are on each server in real-time?
Yes, ServerSelectorX can display live player counts on server buttons—check the guide "Display Live Player Counts on Server Buttons" for configuration steps, which typically involves enabling the feature in your menu settings and choosing how to format the player count display.
How do I restrict certain menus so only VIP players can see them?
ServerSelectorX integrates with your server's permissions system, allowing you to assign permission nodes to specific menus or servers. Players without the required permission won't see those options in their menu.
Can I bind a server menu to a specific item like a compass?
Yes, you can bind a menu to an item interaction—follow the "Bind a Server Menu to an Item in a Player's Inventory" guide to configure which item opens which menu when clicked.
Does ServerSelectorX work with BungeeCord networks?
Yes, ServerSelectorX is compatible with both BungeeCord and Spigot, making it ideal for multi-server networks where you need to direct players across different servers.
Can I use placeholders like server names or MOTD in my menus?
Yes, the plugin supports PlaceholderAPI, so you can include dynamic placeholders such as server name, MOTD, and other variables to make your menus more informative and automatically updated.
What should I do after editing a menu to make sure changes take effect?
Run `/ssx reload` to reload the plugin configuration and apply all your menu changes without restarting the server.
Can I customize the look and feel of my server selection menus?
Yes, ServerSelectorX offers extensive customization options including different layouts, custom icons, and visual styles that you can configure to match your server's theme.
What happens if a server is offline—will it show in the menu?
ServerSelectorX displays real-time server statuses, so offline servers can be shown with a different appearance or disabled state, allowing players to see which servers are currently unavailable.
Can I have multiple different menus for different purposes?
Yes, you can create multiple custom menus using `/ssx-custom:menu` and bind them to different commands or items, allowing players to access different server selections depending on their needs.
