Map Setup

This guide walks you through downloading and setting up a pre-built map for use with the Among Us in Minecraft plugin.

What you’ll need

A running Minecraft server (1.21.11)
The Among Us in Minecraft plugin installed
The files below:

File	Download
Map (`polus.zip`)	Download
Area file (`f4facaf7-...json`)	Download

Setup

Download and extract the map

Download polus.zip and extract it. You should get a folder named polus/.
Place the map in your server directory

Move the polus/ folder into the root of your server directory:
- Directoryyour-server-folder/
  - Directorypolus/ ← place it here
    …
  - Directoryplugins/
    …
  - server.jar
  - server.properties
  - …
Download the area file

Download f4facaf7-046f-40ec-9cc3-0ed13f965655.json.
Place the area file in the plugin folder

Move the .json file into the following directory:
- Directoryyour-server-folder/
  - Directoryplugins/
    DirectoryAmongUs/
    Directoryareas/
    f4facaf7-046f-40ec-9cc3-0ed13f965655.json ← place it here
Create the areas/ folder if it doesn’t exist yet.
Select the map in server.properties

Open server.properties and set level-name to polus:
```
level-name=polus
```
In the latest version, you no longer need to set the level-name in server.properties to world where you want to play. The plugin will automatically detect the correct world.
This works because the world folder name is now saved in the area file.
If you have previously used an older version of the plugin, this information may have been lost. To fix this, set the level-name in server.properties once to the map where the area is located. The plugin will detect it and save the world name in its area configuration.
After that, you can use a completely different map as your default world. The plugin will automatically load the required world when starting a game.
Start your server and play!

Launch your server. The map and area configuration will be loaded automatically. Create a new game with /au create test and you’re good to go.
