Icarus

[i made this plugin for fun and to try out spigot programming, don't expect a perfect bug-free experience]
(check out GitHub as well, there might be newer versions)

A Minecraft Plugin focused on adding aerial and military-inspired combat mechanics.
There is a resource pack which adds custom sounds, but the plugin will work perfectly fine without it.

You can either host it yourself or add the following into your server.properties file:

resource-pack=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kehessen/Icarus/main/resourcepacks/Icarus.Soundpack.zip
resource-pack-sha1=31b29df6a50e4c694452377bde0355e348b12042

Some crafting recipes are available from the start, others are discovered by crafting / obtaining certain items.
The entity-activation-range for misc has to be set at least to the turret range for the turret shots to look good, otherwise the arrows will start to group up instead of constantly firing.
(this should get detected and changed automatically, but it's better to do it yourself to prevent any issues)

Many features are configurable in the config.yml file.

Quality of Life features

• /spawn, /tpa
• Spawn can be set with /spawn set

Teams

• You can join teams by using /join [teamName]
• Any player in the team can accept or deny join requests
• By default, all players are in the "Default" team
• Teams have to be created by operators using /team add [teamName] and the first player has to be added using /team join [teamName] [playerName]
• There will be "random" UUIDs in the team list, these belong to the turrets as they can only be used by the team that created them

Bases

• Every team can have one base
• Teleport to your base by using /base
• Bombs and Airstrikes will (by default) not explode in bases (Napalm will still work)
• Creepers will not explode in bases

Bombs

• Craft 50kg, 100kg and Hydrogen Bombs to attack enemy teams in the air
• Ammonium Nitrate and Plutonium cores can be dropped by creepers when killed by a player without using looting
• Ammonium Nitrate has a 5% chance to drop; the Plutonium Core has a .5% chance to drop (drop disabled for creeper farms)
• Can be used against enemy bases or turrets
• It is generally suggested not to craft Hydrogen Bombs in your base, as something might happen rarely

Turrets

• Craft turrets to defend against enemy bombers and other aerial attackers
• The required ender pearl can be dropped by Endermen without using looting
• Right-click the turret to add ammo, activate / deactivate it or change the shot delay

Planned Features
