Halloween Plugin – boss fight with health bar

# 🎃 Halloween Plugin **Turn your server into a haunted house for the season.** Random scares, summonable pumpkin bosses, an animated grave ritual with three undead waves, Herobrine encounters, pumpkin buffs, a candy economy, statistics and a Discord webhook – one lightweight plugin for **Paper, Spigot and Purpur 1.21.3 – 26.x**. Free and open source (MIT). 📖 **[Documentation](https://softici.gitlab.io/halloween/)** · ❓ [FAQ](https://softici.gitlab.io/halloween/faq/) · ⌨️ [Commands](https://softici.gitlab.io/halloween/commands/) · ⚙️ [config.yml](https://softici.gitlab.io/halloween/config/) · 🐛 [Issues](https://gitlab.com/softici/halloween/-/issues) · 💬 [SpigotMC thread](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/129197/) ## ✨ What it does - **Scare events** – a carved pumpkin lands on a player's head, Slenderman flickers in front of them, harmless fire and lightning, a flash of darkness, and a four-stage **Herobrine** encounter at night. Every event has its own interval and on/off switch. - **Boss battles** – build a small altar (fence or lapis block + carved pumpkin), light it with flint & steel and fight the **Pumpkin Zombie Boss** or the **Halloween Skeleton Boss** with cursed-bat and phantom minions. Health bars, titles, configurable loot. - **Grave system** – coffin, RIP sign, stone cross, candles. Light the candle, watch an 18-second ritual, then survive **three waves of buffed undead**. Wave bar with countdown, team XP, a glowing reward chest. - **Candy economy & Pumpkin Trader** – **Halloween Candy** drops from Halloween mobs, bosses and graves; turn any villager into a **Pumpkin Trader** with trades you define (pumpkins, candy, emeralds, golden apples…). - **Pumpkin buffs, bat witches, pumpkin mobs** – potion effects while wearing a carved pumpkin, bats that turn into glowing witches, hostile mobs spawning with pumpkin heads. - **Statistics, leaderboards, Discord** – `/halloween stats`, `/halloween top `, a **PlaceholderAPI** expansion and a **Discord webhook** for boss kills, grave completions and the season-end top 3. - **Runs itself** – a **season scheduler** switches Halloween on/off by date, a daily **witching hour** doubles the scares, a **WorldGuard** flag and a world blacklist keep spawn and the Nether quiet, every player can opt out. - **Rewards your way** – items, random potions, candy, console **commands** and **Vault money** in every reward list, with per-entry chance. - **Every text is yours** – 170+ message categories in `messages.yml` with `&` and hex colours, random variations and case-insensitive placeholders. Translate freely; updates never overwrite your changes. ## 🚀 Install in 30 seconds 1. Drop `halloween-plugin-3.4.0.jar` into `plugins/` and restart. 2. `plugins/Halloween_Softici/config.yml` and `messages.yml` appear – tweak what you like, `/halloween reload`. 3. Halloween is on. `/halloween off` pauses everything; or set `season.enabled: true` and let it run 1 Oct – 5 Nov. Optional: **Vault** (money rewards), **PlaceholderAPI** (`%halloween_*%`), **WorldGuard** (`halloween-events` flag). ## ✅ Compatibility | | | |---|---| | Server | **Paper, Spigot, Purpur** – Bukkit API only, no NMS | | Minecraft | **1.21.3 – 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2** – one jar. **26.3**: compiled against the 26.3 API and tested on Paper 26.3 alpha; marked supported once Paper 26.3 is stable | | Java | 21+ | | Not supported | Folia; 1.21.1/1.21.2 (use v3.1.1 from SpigotMC) | Upgrading from any 3.0.5+ version is a drop-in: `config.yml` is smart-merged (values *and comments* kept), `messages.yml` is only extended, and a YAML typo never wipes your file. ## 🎬 Videos ## ⌨️ Commands & permissions (short) | Command | Who | |---|---| | `/halloween enable` / `disable` | players – opt in / out | | `/halloween stats`, `/halloween top ` | players (`halloween.stats`) | | `/halloween on` / `off` / `reload` | admins (`halloween.use`) | | `/halloween trigger [player\|@a]` | admins (`halloween.trigger`) – fire any event or boss now | | `/halloween set ` | admins – intervals in minutes, `0 0` disables | | `/halloween buffs …`, `sound`, `reset`, `cleanup`, `candy give`, `debug eligible` | admins | Alias `/hlw`; rename the command with `command_prefix` if another plugin uses `/halloween`.
