About DeathPenalties
From SpigotMCControl the penalties that are applied to players when they die (health, inventory, commands & more)
Description:
DeathPenalties is a plugin that add more penalties to players when they die such as not giving them full health/food and/or execute commands on them (which can be used to apply potions effects or spawn mobs on them for example).
Features:
- Per world configuration.
- Flat and percentage values.
- Set chance that a penalty can be applied to the player.
- Set players health, food values when they respawn.
- Set dropped and/or destroyed items, experience, levels on death.
- Set money lost by players on death.
- Set bank account name where money lost by penalties goes.
- Send money lost to the killer of the player.
- Whitelist items so they are not dropped/destroyed by the plugin.
- Execute commands from players or from the server when they die and when they respawn (use %player% to add the target player name).
- Ignore OP and players with given permission to.
- Multiverse support.
- Vault support.
- MobArena support (ignore penalties when they die in an arena).
Usage:
Simply drop the .jar file in your "plugins" folder and restart/reload your server to generate default configuration. You can then edit it and restart/reload your server in order to apply changes.
Note: This plugin supports the default bukkit /reload command.
