EventPulse
Automatic server wide mini competitions. Players keep mining, farming, fishing and fighting the way they already do, and every so often that becomes a contest with a live board and a prize.
- Spigot and Paper
- Minecraft 1.21 to 26.x
- 7 event types
- SQLite or MySQL
Features
What is in the box
Every card goes to the page that documents it, config keys and all.
Event types
Mining, farming, logging, fishing, enchanting, combat, and a mixed event where everything counts.
Read moreScheduling
A random wait between two limits, a player count, blackout hours, and a memory that stops repeats.
Read moreScoring rules
Placed blocks, creative mode, staff bypass and disabled worlds are worth nothing, and the console says why.
Read moreTeam mode
Every member of an island adds to one score. Points stay with the island they were earned on.
Read moreScoreboard
Top three, your place, your score and the time left, on top of whatever board you already run.

Three things worth knowing before you buy
Normal play is the competition
Nobody has to join an arena or type a command. The plugin waits a random time, checks there are enough players online and that it is not the middle of the night, picks an event by weight, and announces it. For the next ten or fifteen minutes whatever people were doing anyway is being counted.
Between events every listener returns straight away, so the plugin costs nothing while it waits. The same event cannot come round again until enough others have run, and that memory survives a restart.
Team mode that follows the player
With SuperiorSkyblock2, BentoBox or IridiumSkyblock installed, any event can score per island. The island is read again on every point, so a move mid event splits the points instead of carrying them across, and a player who leaves an island takes their share off it.
At the end each player is paid once, on the best placed island they belong to. A deleted island cannot hold second place, and the same person is never paid twice.
One jar, both version lines
The jar is built against the oldest Minecraft it supports and loads unchanged on everything newer, up to and including the 26.x line. Spigot, Paper and any fork of either all work.
Only one thing needs Paper, hiding the red numbers down the side of the scoreboard. On Spigot the numbers stay, the console says so once, and everything else is identical.

Inside the docs
Drawn, not just described
The pages carry diagrams of the parts that are easier to see than to read.
Who each reward block pays
Single places, ranges such as 4-10, participation, a minimum score, and what happens to a winner who is offline.

What an action has to pass
Game mode, the bypass permission, disabled worlds, placed blocks and cancelled breaks, each explained once in the console.

Run /event start
Start one by hand to see the board and the payout, then let the scheduler take over.
SQLite works with no setup at all. MySQL is there if you are running a network.
Everything is documented
Every config key, every event key, every command and every permission has a page. If something is still unclear, ask in the Discord.
