✨ Core Features

🧾 Bounty Board UI

Players can open a modern bounty board with:

👥 Online player list

🔎 Search bar to quickly find a player

💰 Preset bounty buttons (like +1000 / +5000 / +10000)

✍️ Custom amount field for any value you allow

🎯 Place Bounties on Players

Players can put a bounty on someone to make them a target:

✅ The target becomes WANTED

✅ The bounty amount is shown in the UI next to their name

✅ Bounties can optionally expire after a set time

✅ Multiple Reward Types

💸 Economy Payout (Optional)

If enabled, when someone claims a bounty they receive:

💰 Money payout equal to the bounty total

Supports

TheEconomy

EcoTale

🎁 Item Rewards (Optional)

If enabled, bounty claims can also grant:

🎲 Random item rewards from your configured item list

Great for adding extra excitement or rare loot rewards.

🔥 Automatic “Wanted” System (Optional)

If enabled, the plugin can automatically place bounties:

⚔️ Players who reach a configured kill requirement become “Wanted”

🎲 The bounty amount is randomly picked from your configured bounty amount list

⏳ These can also expire (if expiry is enabled)

This creates natural PvP hotspots without admins needing to do anything.

🛡️ HyperFactions Support (Optional)

If HyperFactions is installed and enabled in config, the plugin can enforce faction-safe bounty rules:

🚫 No bounty abuse inside factions

❌ Players can’t place bounties on their own faction members

❌ Players can’t claim bounties from their own faction members

🤝 Ally protection

❌ Players can’t place bounties on allied factions

❌ Players can’t claim bounties from allied factions

🕒 Cooldowns for faction exploits (Optional)

Stops common abuse like “leave faction → place bounty → rejoin”:

The plugin can block bounty actions for a configurable period after faction changes.
