DynamicArrows

After seeing that MoArrows hadn't updated in a while and MagicArrows had stopped updating all together, I decided to take a stab at replacing them both in one, neat package (NOTE: I didn't use ANY of their code, I was simply inspired by their ideas). Introducing DynamicArrows, a plugin that gives every player a quiver of special arrows and enchantments to use.

Features

  • Each player is given a "quiver" that holds special arrows and arrow enchantments
  • Quivers can have a maximum amount of arrows (for realism's sake)
  • Each arrow/enchantment type can be enabled/disabled, given a cool-down, made infinite (so players don't have to purchase them to use them), and given a maximum amount that each player can have.
  • Cycling through arrows is as simple as punching with a bow in hand or punching with an arrow in hand (to cycle through enchantments).
  • Arrows/enchantments that a player doesn't have, that a player can't use, or that are cooling down won't show up when cycling, so you won't spend time trying to fire arrows you don't have or can't use.
  • (Currently) 8 arrow types and 7 enchantment types.
  • Use is extremely simple, players only have one optional command to check their quivers and admins set up shops simply by formatting a sign correctly.
  • Quick and straight-forward config.yml for easy setup.
  • Separate permissions nodes for enchantments and arrows (good for classes and ranks).

Types

Arrow

  • Stinger - Poison your enemy for a few seconds.
  • Bolt - Strikes a lightning bolt where the arrow lands.
  • Blast - Creates an explosion where the arrow lands.
  • Piercing - If a player is wearing armor, this arrow deals double damage.
  • Barbed - If a player is not wearing armor, this arrow deals double damage.
  • Blaze - Fires a flaming arrow that lights enemies on hit.
  • Slowing - Slow your enemy for a few seconds.
  • Heavy - Stun your enemy on hit (blindness and confusion)
  • Trap - Generate a small net of webs where the arrow lands that disappears after a few seconds.

Enchantments

  • Healing - Heals 5 hearts on hit.
  • Harming - Inflicts harming for a few seconds.
  • Freeze - Traps an enemy in (breakable) ice blocks, which disappear after a few seconds.
  • Pull - Teleports your enemy to you.
  • Transfusion - Deals and steals two hearts of damage.
