Installation

1. Put EranoAPI.jar and FastWorldLoader.jar into plugins/.
2. Start the server. FastWorldLoader writes plugins/FastWorldLoader/config.yml and a templates/ folder.
3. Import a map as a template, then open worlds from it: Templates and worlds.

FastWorldLoader does nothing on its own — it opens worlds when you or another plugin ask it to. On a server with SurvivalGames, set world-loader: auto there and it uses FastWorldLoader for every arena; nothing else to do.

Where templates live
