Frequently Asked Questions

General​

What happens when a group leader disconnects?​

Leadership is not automatically transferred on disconnect. The leader retains their position. If the leader leaves the group with /group leave, leadership transfers to the next member.

Do groups persist across server restarts?​

Yes. Permanent groups are saved to disk and restored when the server starts. Temporary groups (created by external plugins) are not persisted.

Can a player be in multiple groups?​

No. A player can only belong to one group at a time. They must leave their current group before joining another.

What is the maximum group size?​

The default maximum is 16 players, configurable via MaxGroupSize in config.json.

Can group members damage each other?​

By default, friendly fire is disabled. This can be changed via the FriendlyFire setting in config.json.

Commands​

Why can't I use group commands?​

Check that you have the appropriate permission. Each command requires a specific permission node (e.g., groupmanager.group.invite). See the Permissions page for the full list.

What do the aliases /g, /party, /p do?​

They are shortcuts for /group. All subcommands work the same way: /g invite Steve is identical to /group invite Steve.

I received an invitation but /group accept says "no pending invitations"​

Invitations expire after a set time. If you waited too long, ask the sender to invite you again.

Integration​

How do external plugins create temporary groups?​

Through the GroupService API:

GroupService api = GroupManagerProvider.get();
GroupResult result = api.createTemporaryGroup(leader, memberList);

Can I use GroupManager with other plugins?​

Yes — GroupManager exposes a full API that other plugins can use to manage teams during matches, minigames, or any group-based activity. See the Integration Guide for details.

The HUD isn't showing, what should I check?​

  1. Ensure either AutoMultiHud or MultipleHUD is installed.
  2. Check server logs at startup for HUD detection messages.
  3. Verify the player is in a group — the HUD only appears for grouped players.
