✨ Comprehensive Feature List

💻 100% In-Game GUI Management

The Master Editor (/koth editor) Never touch a config file again. Create arenas, toggle game modes, edit capture times, manage loot tables, and tweak particle visuals entirely through our sleek, interactive menu. Premium UI Aesthetics Clean, padded menus with gray stained-glass panes and tactile audio feedback (Pling for success, Bass for errors) makes configuring the plugin a joy.

🎮 Dynamic Game Modes

Capture Mode Classic KoTH. Hold the point continuously for a specific amount of time. If an enemy steps in, the capture is instantly marked as Contested! Score Mode Accumulate seconds on the point. The player with the most time held when the event ends is declared the winner. 🔥 NEW: Tug-of-War Mode A revolutionary team-based mode! The plugin natively hooks into your Team/Faction plugin to calculate team majorities. The team with the most players in the zone literally pulls a glowing particle rope towards their side. Includes advanced features like Overtime (if tied at 99%) and a Momentum Engine.

🛡️ Core Mechanics & Combat

Anti-Knockback Zones Prevent players from being easily bowed or knocked off the point. Can be toggled on or off per-arena in the GUI! Contested States If an enemy enters the zone while you are capturing, the zone becomes "Contested!" freezing the timer until the enemy is dealt with. Smart Cooldowns Set global or per-arena cooldowns to automate how often events can run.

🎁 Advanced Loot Tables

GUI-Based Item Adder Drop items directly from your inventory into the KoTH reward pool via the GUI. Chance System Set specific drop percentages (0 to 100%) for every single item. Command Rewards Execute custom console commands (e.g., giving money, crates, or ranks) when a player captures the point. Crate Selection Customize the physical block (Chest, Ender Chest, Trapped Chest, Barrel) that spawns at the center when the event ends.

🎇 Premium Visuals & Spectacles

Glowing Particle Rope In Tug-of-War mode, a physical glowing line of particles spans the capture zone with a thick knot that dynamically slides back and forth depending on which team is winning! BossBars A dynamic BossBar tracks the capture time, the current capper, and flashes red when the point is Contested. Scoreboard Integration Akoth seamlessly overrides a player's scoreboard while they are near the arena to show KoTH stats, and flawlessly restores their original scoreboard when they leave the area. Holograms Native Support Native hooks for DecentHolograms and FancyHolograms to display live, updating holograms above the capture zone. ActionBars & Titles Live progress actionbars and massive on-screen titles when events start, end, or go into Overtime! Fireworks Show A massive, randomized Firework display shoots from the center of the arena upon capture to celebrate the victor! 100% Customizable Visuals Every particle color, rope size, and text format can be edited instantly in the /koth editor or through messages.yml using modern MiniMessage format.

🔊 Hype Audio Engine

Server-Wide Alerts Plays an Ender Dragon Growl globally to grab everyone's attention when a KoTH starts, and a Triumphant tune when captured. Tension Countdown When the capture timer hits the final 10 seconds, players inside the zone hear a fast-paced "ticking" noise every single second to build massive tension!

⚙️ Developer & Admin Utilities

Discord Webhooks Ping your Discord server automatically when events start and end. Supports Global webhooks, or unique webhooks per-arena! SQLite Database Tracks player stats (Total Captures, Total Score) securely. PlaceholderAPI Hook Akoth natively registers powerful placeholders for your server's scoreboards or tabs!

🏷️ PlaceholderAPI Integrations

Use these placeholders anywhere PAPI is supported (like TAB, Scoreboard-Revision, etc.) to show live KoTH stats: Global Event Placeholders (Displays data for the currently active KoTH):

• %akoth_active% - Returns the name of the active arena (or "None")
• %akoth_active_capper% - Returns the current capturing player (or "Contested!" / "None")
• %akoth_active_time% - Returns the formatted time remaining (e.g. "05:30")
• %akoth_active_mode% - Returns "CAPTURE", "SCORE", or "TUG_OF_WAR"
• %akoth_active_world%, %akoth_active_x%, %akoth_active_y%, %akoth_active_z% - Location data! Player Stat Placeholders (Displays data for the player viewing it):
• %akoth_my_captures% - Returns the total captures of the player
• %akoth_my_total_score% - Returns the total score of the player
