Description from the author on SpigotMC

What is LobbyAPI

LobbyAPI was created to manage multiple worlds and allow players to teleport to those worlds using user friendly menu, while being able to be fully configurable.Just by using the commands /lobby or /hub, the player has access to all worlds specified in the menu, where when they click on the block the represents a world they are teleported to location given to that world. LobbyAPI has tons of configurable methods to change the color of the block in the menu, the amount of that block, what spot it is located, and the description of the world, who can see or go to a world, along with the methods for how the world will interact with other worlds.

OLDER UPDATES AND COMPATIBILITIES:

As much as I will try add compatibility with older updates, this may not be possible with certain features or systems. Also, due to the major changes in 1.13, existing features may not work properly in order to support the current, recommended update. Although I will still try to help as much as I can, if a certain bug is specific to an older update or fixing the bug will create other problems for new updates, I may have to let a bug exist.

Dependencies and Compatibility

LobbyAPI does not depend on any other plugin, and should work with all other plugins. If you receive any errors from my plugin or features or not enabled for you, please make a comment or ticket of this page.
