DeathEffect
Thanks for coming to this page!
Basiclly, the DeathEffect plugin allows you to play custom effects and sounds whenever a player dies. This is fully customizable, you can use every effect, sound and particle effect!
How it works
Download and install the DeathEffect plugin. After you run it for the first time, it will create a DeathEffect folder in your plugins folder, and in that fodler there will be an Effect folder. All you have to do is create a .yml file in that folder, and you're done!
The download for this pugin contains an Example.yml, which shows how to format those .yml files, but lemme explain it here aswell
First, add this to your file (with a custom name of course)
name: Example
This is optional. This effect will only play for people with the said permission. Else it will select a random effect from all the effects without permissions
permission: de.example
Now let's list all the effects we want!
effects: - Thunder - Particle:SLIME:5 - Break:1 - Fireworks:BALL:255=0=0
- Thunder : Strikes fake lightning
- Particle:SLIME:5 : Plays 5 Slime particles at th players head and feet
- Break:1 : Plays the Stone break animation at the players head and feet (1 is the id for stone)
- Fireworks:BALL:255=0=0 : Plays a firework animation of a red ball (255=0=0 is the color RGB value, 0=255=0 would be a green color)
Those are all the (currently) available effects!
Now lets add some sounds!
sounds: - PIG_DEATH:1 - PIG_DEATH:2 - PIG_DEATH:-2
Write it like this: SOUND_NAME:pitch (use 1 for default pitch)
- PIG_DEATH:1 : Plays a normal pig death sound
- PIG_DEATH:2 : Plays a high pitched pig death sound
- PIG_DEEATH:-2 : Plays a low pitched pig death sound
So after all that, you get something like this:
name: Example permission: de.example effects: - Thunder - Particle:SLIME:5 - Break:1 - Fireworks:BALL:255=0=0 sounds: - PIG_DEATH:1 - PIG_DEATH:2 - PIG_DEATH:-2
and that's it!
Multiple effects
If you make more then 1 effect file, it will always select a random one. Except if the player has a permission listed in one of the files, then that effect will get played. If the player has multiple listed permissions, a random one will be selected.
Commands
You can use the /de command in-game to play and list effects
Permissions
The only permission is de.command, which is required for the /de command
Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
- Opting out of this service can be done by editing plugins/Plugin Metrics/config.yml and changing opt-out to true.
Coming Soon
