KillEffects

Author: 1.0 | Author: Paper 1.21.x | Author: GoldApic

Take your server's combat to the next level! KillEffects is a highly optimized, strictly cosmetic PaperMC plugin that rewards players with jaw-dropping, animated sequences whenever they secure a kill. Whether you are running a hardcore faction server, a minigame network, or a friendly SMP, these effects will make every victory unforgettable.

✨ Features

* Highly Configurable: None of the effect entities have AI that targets players, they cannot deal damage, and they cannot be killed for loot. All terrain modifications (like Emerald or Sculk blocks spawning) are perfectly calculated to only replace solid blocks and revert seamlessly after 5 seconds without destroying stairs, slabs, or custom builds. * Highly Configurable: Gorgeous, gradient-colored menus where players can equip their owned effects or preview locked ones. * Highly Configurable: Built-in failsafes guarantee that all entities are instantly removed when an effect ends or if the server restarts. * Highly Configurable: Every single effect’s duration and sound radius can be tweaked in the config. Don't want to use a permissions/economy system? Just toggle `all-effects-default` to `true` to give everyone access instantly!

🎇 Effects

Currently features 7 unique, high-quality animations:

1. Dragon Breath: A Warden dramatically emerges from the ground enveloped in a soul-fire circle, roaring before fading back to the depths. 2. Dragon Breath: The death location is instantly corrupted by Sculk Catalysts and soul particles, accompanied by terrifying shrieker sounds. 3. Dragon Breath: A circle of 5 Golden-Sword-wielding Zombies surrounds the death point, staring inward before crumbling to dust. 4. Dragon Breath: Two Piglins spawn and perform the official Minecraft "Hog Hunt" celebration dance while the *Pigstep* music disc blasts for nearby players! 5. Dragon Breath: The ground transforms into deepslate emerald ore and solid emerald blocks while a shower of emerald items rains down with lightning strikes. 6. Dragon Breath: The area freezes over into Snow and Powdered Snow blocks, releasing a massive burst of wind and white cloud particles. 7. Dragon Breath: An Ender Dragon fireball drops from the sky, exploding into a massive (but completely harmless) fuchsia Dragon Breath area effect cloud!
