🎯 What is Remote Kill?

Remote Kill gives operators a custom fishing rod that deals damage to a chosen player — or an entire group — every time they reel in. No commands per hit, no tabbing out, no cooldowns to manage. Cast, reel, repeat. The health bar drops on its own.

Built for Paper, Purpur, and Spigot on Minecraft 1.21.x through 26.x from a single JAR. No per-version builds, no NMS, no remapping headaches.

💣 Features

Feature	Description
🎣 Solo Targeting	Pick one player with /rk solo <player>. The rod knows exactly who it hunts.
👥 Group Targeting	Comma-separated names, @a, or exclusions like @a[name=!Alice] — hit everyone at once.
🔄 Toggle Activation	Reel in once to start the damage loop. Reel in again to stop. On, off, on, off — your call.
⏱️ 1-Second Damage Ticks	Every second, the target loses ~3.0 HP — tuned to match a full Thorns III armor set's average output.
🛑 Auto-Shutdown	If every target dies or logs off, the loop cancels itself and tells you. No ghost tasks, no lag.
🔐 Three-Layer OP Lock	Permission check, command guard, and rod-holder check — a non-OP who picks up the rod can't trigger it.
📝 Clean Death Messages	Kills made with the rod show as <victim> was slain by <killer> — no awkward "using [Remote Kill ...]" suffix.
⌨️ Full Tab Completion	solo/group modes, online player names, and @a hints — all suggested as you type.

🧩 Compatibility

Server Software	Supported Versions
Paper	1.21.x – 26.x
Purpur	1.21.x – 26.x
Spigot	1.21.x – 26.x

Requirements:

• Java 21 (Paper 26.x runs on Java 25, which is backward-compatible with Java 21 bytecode)
• Single JAR — no separate builds per version
• api-version: "1.21" — loads on anything 1.21 and above

---

⚠️ Notes & Caveats

• Selector parsing is minimal. The @a[name=!…] parser supports @a, comma-separated names, and one or more name=! exclusions. It does not support distance, gamemode, score, or nested range selectors.
• The kill loop runs every 20 ticks (1 second). Damage is attributed to the rod holder, so kills count as proper player kills.
• Death-message rewriting only triggers for kills made while holding a Remote Kill rod. Normal fishing-rod kills and unrelated deaths are untouched.
• OP-only, always. The command and the rod's activation are both gated behind isOp() checks — there is no config toggle to open it to non-OPs.
