⭐ NuLLStar — Join Effects

Give every player a spectacular entrance. NuLLStar is a lightweight, fully configurable join-effects plugin for Paper / Purpur 1.21.10. Players pick a particle, firework or combo effect from a clean two-level GUI, and it plays the moment they join your server. Every effect has its own permission, so it's perfect for ranks, crates, store perks and donor tiers.

Built for performance, packed with 30 ready-to-use effects, and with zero hard-coded text — translate or restyle absolutely everything.

✨ Features

  • 30 built-in effects across 3 tiers (10 each): Basic, Special, Administrative.
  • A real effect engine, not just spawnParticle. 16 animated shapes: HELIX · DOUBLE_HELIX · CIRCLE · EXPANDING_RING · FOUNTAIN · VORTEX · PILLAR · AURA · GALAXY · TORNADO · SPHERE · HEART_SHAPE · CROWN · BEAM · METEOR · WINGS
  • 6 effect types — PARTICLE, FIREWORK, LIGHTNING, FALLING_BLOCK (falling meteors), TNT_SCATTER (harmless TNT) and COMBO (stack several effects into one).
  • Beautiful two-level GUI with optional custom base64 skull textures and a live preview head.
  • Per-effect permissions — nstar.effect.<id>, or grant a whole tier at once with nstar.category.<basic|special|administrative>.
  • Persistent selections — SQLite (zero setup) or MySQL (great for networks), via HikariCP.
  • Admin force-grant — play an effect on join even without the permission.
  • Anti-spam cooldown between changes (bypass with nstar.delaybypass).
  • Custom join-messages module with per-effect overrides.
  • Full RGB / hex / gradient support via MiniMessage and legacy & codes.
  • PlaceholderAPI support out of the box.
  • Built-in Modrinth update checker.
  • Bilingual (English + Polish) with every string editable.
  • Custom sounds per effect.
