Simple Bounties

Simplebounties — Put a Price on Any Head, With Any Item

Tired of bounty plugins that only support Vault money? Simplebounties lets your players place bounties using literally any item in the game — netherite ingots, totems of undying, enchanted swords, stacks of golden apples, custom-named gear, even a single dirt block if they want to be funny. Whatever's in their inventory is fair game.

When the target dies, the killer claims the entire pool. Simple. Brutal. Addictive.

Features

Use ANY Material as Currency

No economy plugin required. No Vault dependency. Players just drop items from their inventory straight into a bounty pool — full item metadata (enchantments, custom names, lore) is preserved.

Polished GUI

• /bounty opens a paginated menu of every active bounty

• Each entry shows the target's player head, total item count, contributor count, and a top-5 breakdown of what's in the pool

• Click a head to see the full pool laid out inventory-style

• Contributors get a one-click withdraw button to pull their items back

Multi-Contributor Pools

Multiple players can stack contributions onto the same target. Each player's items are tracked separately, so withdrawals return exactly what they put in — but the killer takes everything. The bigger the pool, the bigger the target on their back.

Kill-to-Claim

When a bountied player dies to another player, the killer instantly receives the entire pool. Inventory full? Overflow auto-drops at their feet (toggleable).
Server-Wide Drama

Configurable broadcasts when bounties are placed and claimed. Watch chat explode when someone drops a stack of netherite on the server's top PvPer.

Fully Persistent

All bounties save to bounties.yml and survive restarts, crashes, and reloads. Item metadata included.

Anti-Abuse Built In

• No self-bounties

• Configurable cooldown between placements

• Smart tab-completion (only suggests materials in your own inventory)

• Admin override commands
