EffectKill | 44 Kill Particle Effects 1.8–26.x

EffectKill turns every elimination into a visual spectacle.

Players choose their kill effect from a paginated GUI menu or commands. When they score a kill on another player or a mob a trigonometric particle animation plays at the death location: spirals, torus, Lissajous curves, supernovas, DNA helixes, polar roses and 38 more.

This is the modern rewrite of the classic EffectKill plugin by Souyard, rebuilt for Spigot 1.8 through 26.x with a clean architecture, performance budgets, multilingual messages and zero external dependencies.
