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.
MAIN FEATURES
• 44 kill effects 9 classic remakes + 35 new math-driven animations
• Paginated selection menu with Nether Star item (configurable)
• Per-effect permissions for rank shops and cosmetic monetization
• Player kills and mob kills (whitelist/blacklist supported)
• Trigger mode: killer's effect or victim's effect
• Preview command to test effects without dying
• YAML player profiles selected effect saved per player
• Multilingual: English, French, Spanish (extensible)
• Performance: view-distance culling, max particles per tick
• Victim heads on Devil Flame and Head Burst (player skin / mob skull)
• Fully configurable config.yml per effect
