# SimpleBounty SimpleBounty adds a dynamic bounty system to your Minecraft server. Every player starts with a base amount of bounty points. Players can earn bounty points by killing other players, and their bounty grows over time under certain conditions. The higher a player's bounty, the more points you'll receive for taking them down. ![LeaderBoard](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/653a2d4124fbab45f06b36ed41cd30b3ddbda7c1.png) --- ## Features - **Starting Bounty**: Every player starts with 50 bounty points (configurable) - **PvP Bounty Transfer**: When you kill another player, you receive 20% of their bounty (configurable), and that amount is removed from their total - **High Bounty Growth**: Players with 5,000+ bounty points (configurable) gain +3 points (configurable) every 5 minutes (configurable) while online - **Dragon Egg Bonus**: Players holding a Dragon Egg in their inventory gain +10 points (configurable) every 5 minutes (configurable) - **Inactivity Decay**: Players who don't gain any bounty for 30 minutes (configurable) lose 1 point (configurable) every 20 minutes (configurable) - **Natural Death Penalty**: Dying to anything other than a player (mobs, fall damage, lava, etc.) causes you to lose 2% (configurable) of your bounty - **Top 5 Broadcast**: Every 15 minutes (configurable), a chat message shows the top 5 players by bounty, including how many points you'd get for killing them - **Admin Commands**: Add, remove, or set bounty points for any player - **H2 Database Storage**: All data is stored in a reliable H2 database file - **Public API**: Other plugins can hook into SimpleBounty to display bounty points on scoreboards, tablists, etc. --- ## Installation 1. Download the `SimpleBounty.jar` file 2. Place it in your server's `plugins/` folder 3. Restart your server 4. The plugin will generate its config file and H2 database on first run **Requirements:** - Paper 1.21.1 or higher - Java 21 or higher --- ## Commands | Command | Description | Permission | |---------|-------------|------------| | `/bounty` | Check your current bounty points | `simplebounty.check` (default: everyone) | | `/bountyadmin add ` | Add bounty points to a player | `simplebounty.admin` (default: OP) | | `/bountyadmin remove ` | Remove bounty points from a player | `simplebounty.admin` (default: OP) | | `/bountyadmin set ` | Set a player's bounty to an exact amount | `simplebounty.admin` (default: OP) | | `/ba` | Alias for `/bountyadmin` | `simplebounty.admin` | --- ## Permissions | Permission | Description | Default | |------------|-------------|---------| | `simplebounty.check` | Allows checking your own bounty | Everyone | | `simplebounty.top` | Allows viewing the top bounty list | Everyone | | `simplebounty.admin` | Allows admin bounty commands | OP | --- ## Configuration All settings are in `plugins/SimpleBounty/config.yml`. Here's what each option does: ### Core Settings | Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | `starting-bounty` | `50` | How many bounty points a player starts with | | `kill-reward-percent` | `20` | What percent of a killed player's bounty the killer receives (0-100) | | `natural-death-loss-percent` | `2` | What percent of their bounty a player loses on natural death (0-100) | ### Inactivity Decay | Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | `lose-points-on-inactivity` | `true` | Whether players lose points for not gaining bounty | | `inactivity-decay-amount` | `1` | How many points are lost per decay interval | | `inactivity-decay-start-minutes` | `30` | How long without gaining bounty before decay starts | | `inactivity-decay-interval-minutes` | `20` | How often an inactive player loses points | ### High Bounty Growth | Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | `bounty-increase-threshold` | `5000` | Bounty amount required to start growing (set to 0 to disable) | | `bounty-increase-amount` | `3` | Points gained per interval once above the threshold | | `bounty-increase-interval-minutes` | `5` | How often players above the threshold gain points | ### Dragon Egg Bonus | Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | `dragon-egg-bounty-enabled` | `true` | Whether holding the Dragon Egg increases bounty | | `dragon-egg-bounty-amount` | `10` | Points gained per interval while holding the egg | | `dragon-egg-interval-minutes` | `5` | How often Dragon Egg holders gain points | ### Chat Broadcast | Setting | Default | Description | |---------|---------|-------------| | `bounty-message-interval-minutes` | `15` | How often the top 5 bounty list is broadcast (set to 0 to disable) | ### Messages All chat messages can be customized in the `messages:` section of the config. Use `&` for color codes and the following placeholders: - `%points%` - The player's bounty points - `%player%` - A player's name - `%amount%` - An amount of points - `%reward%` - The reward for killing a player - `%position%` - Position in the top list --- ## How It Works ### Bounty Points - Every player starts with 50 bounty points when they first join - Points are stored in an H2 database file at `plugins/SimpleBounty/bounties.mv.db` - Points are saved to the database on every change, on player quit, every 5 minutes, and on server shutdown ### PvP Kills When Player A kills Player B: 1. Player A receives 20% of Player B's bounty points 2. That same amount is removed from Player B's bounty 3. Both players are notified in chat **Example:** If Player B has 1,000 bounty and Player A kills them: - Player A gains 200 points - Player B's bounty drops to 800 ### Natural Deaths If a player dies to anything other than a player (mobs, fall damage, drowning, lava, etc.): - They lose 2% of their current bounty - This is treated as a "natural death" - no points are transferred to anyone ### High Bounty Growth Once a player reaches 5,000 bounty points: - They gain 3 points every 5 minutes while online - This encourages high-bounty players to become bigger targets ### Dragon Egg Bonus If a player has a Dragon Egg in their inventory: - They gain 10 points every 5 minutes while online - This makes holding the Dragon Egg a high-risk, high-reward activity ### Inactivity Decay If a player hasn't gained any bounty points for 30 minutes: - They lose 1 point every 20 minutes - Any bounty gain (PvP kill, passive growth, admin add) resets the inactivity timer --- ## Public API SimpleBounty provides a public API so other plugin developers can display bounty points on scoreboards, tablists, or anywhere else. ### Getting the API ```java import com.johndinglesin.simplebounty.SimpleBountyPlugin; import com.johndinglesin.simplebounty.api.BountyAPI; // Get the SimpleBounty plugin instance SimpleBountyPlugin bountyPlugin = (SimpleBountyPlugin) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("SimpleBounty"); if (bountyPlugin != null) { BountyAPI api = bountyPlugin.getBountyAPI(); // Get a player's bounty points double points = api.getBounty(player); // Get an offline player's bounty points double offlinePoints = api.getBounty(offlinePlayer); // Get bounty by UUID double uuidPoints = api.getBounty(uuid, "PlayerName"); // Modify bounty points api.addBounty(player, 100.0); api.removeBounty(player, 50.0); api.setBounty(player, 1000.0); // Get configuration values double killPercent = api.getKillRewardPercent(); double startingBounty = api.getStartingBounty(); // Get the top 10 players by bounty List top = api.getTopBounties(10); for (BountyEntry entry : top) { String name = entry.getPlayerName(); double bounty = entry.getBounty(); UUID uuid = entry.getUuid(); } } ``` ### API Methods | Method | Description | |--------|-------------| | `getBounty(Player)` | Get an online player's bounty points | | `getBounty(OfflinePlayer)` | Get an offline player's bounty points | | `getBounty(UUID, String)` | Get bounty points by UUID | | `addBounty(Player, double)` | Add points to a player | | `removeBounty(Player, double)` | Remove points from a player | | `setBounty(Player, double)` | Set a player's bounty to an exact amount | | `getKillRewardPercent()` | Get the configured kill reward percentage | | `getStartingBounty()` | Get the configured starting bounty | | `getTopBounties(int)` | Get the top N players by bounty, sorted descending | | `getSimpleBountyPlugin()` | Static helper to get the plugin instance | ### BountyEntry Class The `BountyEntry` class (from `com.johndinglesin.simplebounty.data.BountyEntry`) represents a single player's bounty record: ```java public class BountyEntry { public UUID getUuid(); // The player's UUID public String getPlayerName(); // The player's name public double getBounty(); // The player's bounty points } ``` ### Example: Scoreboard Integration ```java // In your scoreboard update task SimpleBountyPlugin bountyPlugin = (SimpleBountyPlugin) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("SimpleBounty"); if (bountyPlugin != null) { double points = bountyPlugin.getBountyAPI().getBounty(player); scoreboard.getObjective("bounty").getScore(player.getName()).setScore((int) points); } ``` ### Example: Tablist Integration ```java // In your tablist update task SimpleBountyPlugin bountyPlugin = (SimpleBountyPlugin) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("SimpleBounty"); if (bountyPlugin != null) { double points = bountyPlugin.getBountyAPI().getBounty(player); player.setPlayerListName(ChatColor.GOLD + player.getName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " [" + (int) points + "]"); } ``` ### Example: Custom Leaderboard ```java // Get the top 5 players for a custom leaderboard SimpleBountyPlugin bountyPlugin = (SimpleBountyPlugin) Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("SimpleBounty"); if (bountyPlugin != null) { List top = bountyPlugin.getBountyAPI().getTopBounties(5); for (int i = 0; i < top.size(); i++) { BountyEntry entry = top.get(i); // Display on a sign, hologram, or GUI System.out.println((i + 1) + ". " + entry.getPlayerName() + " - " + (int) entry.getBounty()); } } ``` ### Adding SimpleBounty as a Dependency To compile against the SimpleBounty API, add the jar to your plugin's build path: **Maven:** ```xml com.johndinglesin SimpleBounty 1.0.0 system ${project.basedir}/libs/SimpleBounty.jar ``` **Gradle:** ```gradle dependencies { compileOnly files('libs/SimpleBounty.jar') } ``` --- ## Storage SimpleBounty uses **H2 Database** for reliable data storage, This provides: - **Atomic writes** - No corrupted data from crashes - **Concurrent access** - Safe for multiple players modifying data simultaneously - **Efficient queries** - Fast top-5 lookups even with thousands of players - **File-based** - Data is stored in `plugins/SimpleBounty/bounties.mv.db` The H2 database is bundled inside the plugin jar, so no additional installation is needed. --- ## Troubleshooting ### The plugin doesn't load - Make sure you're running Paper 1.21.1 or higher - Make sure you have Java 21 or higher installed - Check the server console for error messages ### Bounty points reset - Check that the `plugins/SimpleBounty/` folder has write permissions - Make sure the `bounties.mv.db` file exists and isn't corrupted ### Players aren't losing points for inactivity - Check that `lose-points-on-inactivity` is set to `true` in the config - Remember: the inactivity timer resets whenever a player gains bounty points ### The top 5 message isn't showing - Check that `bounty-message-interval-minutes` is set to a value greater than 0 --- ## Support If you encounter any issues, please report them to the Google [Form](https://forms.gle/RhQEKCtaMK3ZbYXf7)
