WantedX

WantedX

WantedX is a vanilla-friendly Paper plugin that adds an item-based bounty system to your Minecraft SMP. Instead of using an economy plugin or virtual currency, players place bounties using real Minecraft items from their own inventory, creating meaningful rewards and player-driven stories.

Whether you’re running a small private SMP or a larger survival server, WantedX encourages exploration, rivalries, teamwork, and exciting player hunts while keeping the gameplay feeling like vanilla Minecraft.
