A lightweight plugin created for my server (DireNode, thus the Dire before my plugins) to regulate the ender dragon.

When the ender dragon is killed, a message will be broadcasted to the server saying that it was killed, and by who, and a cooldown which can be set in the config (default to one hour) will start to count down. Once the cooldown reaches 0, any player can say /spawndragon and a new one will appear if they are in the end.

The ender dragon does not drop a portal, and instead the dragon egg and drops are inserted into the killer's inventory directly.

Commands

/spawndragon - Spawns the ender dragon if the cooldown is finished.

/dragoncooldown - Tells you the cooldown left on the ender dragon.

/forcedragon [Amount to spawn. Optional] - Forces a ender dragon to appear, even if the cooldown is not finished.

/setdragoncooldown [cooldown]- Set the cooldown of the ender dragon. See the cooldown formatting section.

/resetdragoncooldown - Sets the cooldown of the ender dragon to 0.

Permissions

diredragon.spawn - Gives access to /spawndragon. Default to all players.

diredragon.cooldown - Gives access to /dragoncooldown. Default to all players

Config

cooldown: The current cooldown left on the ender dragon. Default to 0, changed by the plugin.

Default Cooldown: The cooldown to be set after the ender dragon is killed. See the formatting section.

Dragon Alive: Whether or not a dragon spawned by this plugin is alive. Present so that users can't spam dragons once the cooldown is down.

Formatting

The config option "Default Cooldown" and the /setdragoncooldown use special formatting. You MUST set them as [number][modifier], where the modifier is either s for second, m for minute, h for hour, d for day, w for week, M for month, and y for year.

To-do List

-Destroy ender portals and give drops to the player who killed it to avoid a massive amount of portals filling up the end [Done]

-Respawn the Ender Crystals when spawning in a new dragon [Working on]

-Config option to customize the messages

-Spawn in Ender Crystals manually anywhere (How cool would that look at spawn?!)
