Introduction

This Bukkit plugin was developed and tested using the Spigot API for Minecraft 1.8.9. It adds a per-player shield that knocks back all players in a certain radius around the player that has an activated shield. You can configure the plugin in the config.yml file that will be generated in the plugin's working directory (plugins/Repulse).

Installation

Download the latest release of the plugin and drop it into your plugins folder. Restart your server and the plugin should be up and running.

Commands and Permissions

/repulse - Toggle your shield

Permission: repulse.toggle

Config

The above-mentioned config file is easy to use. It consists of three major parts: General settings, shield-related settings and strings. I will go through each configurable feature explaining its effects on the plugin.

general.saveOnReload: true by default, enables or disables the storage of the toggle states of the player's shields

general.updateCheckerEnabled: true by default, enables or disables the automatic update checker

shield.strength: 1.5 by default, change the force a player is knocked back with
shield.radius: 5 by default, change the shield's radius
shield.ignoreOps: false by default, If true, the shield will ignore all players with the permission repulse.toggle

shield.yStrength: 0.7 by default, changes the force a player is launched into the air with when entering another player's shield area

strings.prefix: The prefix of all plugin-related messages
strings.noperm: The message that is sent to a player when they execute an illegal command
strings.activate: The message that is sent to a player when they activate their shield
strings.deactivate: The message that is sent to a player when they deactivate their shield
