Halloween Plugin

Halloween Plugin v3.3.0 - Your Requests Colours, translations, vanish support, join-message toggle, buff level fix Everything in this release comes from the discussion thread - thank you for the feedback! Colours & placeholders &c, &l ... and hex &#RRGGBB colours work in messages.yml (and in the config messages) - § still works too Placeholders are case-insensitive: %player% = %PLAYER% 100% translatable Every text the plugin shows is now in messages.yml: help menu, "Halloween mode ENABLED/DISABLED", "effects enabled/disabled for you", permission message and all admin command feedback (84 new categories, appended automatically to your file) Vanish & spectators Vanished players (SuperVanish, PremiumVanish, Essentials, CMI - anything setting the standard "vanished" metadata) and spectators get no scares, buffs or rewards and are never named in boss/grave broadcasts Configurable: player_filters.respect_vanish / skip_spectators Join messages toggle login_messages.enabled: false keeps the join silent, login_messages.sound: false disables the spooky join sound Pumpkin buff level fix level: 1 now means Effect I (it used to give Effect II). Existing configs are converted automatically - your players keep exactly the same effects. /halloween buffs add|level validate the level instead of erroring Also Grave announcements now respect /halloween disable [HR][/HR] Requirements: Spigot / Paper / Purpur 1.21.3+ (incl. 26.1 / 26.2 / 26.3), Java 21+ Upgrade: drop-in for v3.0.5+ - stop, swap the JAR, start.

Halloween Plugin v3.2.2 - Minecraft 26.x Support + Fixes Runs on Paper/Spigot 26.1, 26.2, 26.3 - plus two important fixes v3.2.0 - Minecraft 26.x Minecraft moved to year-based versions (26.1, 26.2, ...) and Paper 26.x removed the legacy Attribute.GENERIC_* API. Uses the current Attribute.MAX_HEALTH / ATTACK_DAMAGE / MOVEMENT_SPEED API Built against Paper API 26.2 (Java 21 bytecode) - still Spigot compatible Existing configs (v3.0.5 - v3.1.1) are auto-merged, nothing to edit v3.2.1 - Grave event fix /halloween off during a grave event no longer spawns the next wave a few minutes later - every scheduled wave/timeout task is cancelled with the event ️ v3.2.2 - messages.yml typo protection A YAML typo in messages.yml (e.g. unclosed quote) no longer wipes your custom messages: the plugin logs the line/column, leaves your file untouched and uses defaults until you fix it and /halloween reload Removed the bogus "Could not save messages.yml ... already exists" warning on startup Requirements Server: Spigot / Paper / Purpur 1.21.3+ (including 26.1 / 26.2 / 26.3) Java: 21+ (Paper 26.x needs Java 25) Still on 1.21.1 or 1.21.2? Stay on v3.1.1. Upgrade Drop-in replacement for v3.0.5+: stop server → swap the JAR → start. Your config values, comments and custom messages are kept.
