bcBow
The plugin does not get any updates at the moment, but it´s open-source so feel free to update it yourself ;)
bcBow gives you a new mini games experience with fully automated arenas, different gamemodes, achievements and much more!
What is bcBow?
bcBow brings Bow Warfare to your server! Within this you have to fight the enemies in various gamemodes like FreeForAll or TeamDeathmatch with a bow which shoots very fast and linear arrows, so the bullet drop is very low. ;)
What features has bcBow?
It is much fun to play bcBow, because of the features! One of these are the gamemodes. In a FreeForAll game you are a lone wolf and have to fight all others, in infection there are zombies which try to infect the remaining humans! So there are many possibilities to play.

- FreeForAll (FFA)

You can change every message, but not the "[Bow] " prefix. To change a message just edit the message_en.yml file. However if you really want to change the prefix you could download the source, change the prefix in the main class (BCBow) and compile it. But look out for the right version! But i don´t plan to make the prefix configurable.
Bug 1 will be fixed with the next version. Bug 2 is a bug in Minecraft, although it is just wrong displayed, the shoot is still accurate, but you cant see it
I have some suggestions, can you make the [Bow] message configurable thanks
next things are bugs.
1.) When a player jumps into the void, they fall forever, and don't die
2.) When a player shoots the Bow, it isn't accurate and shoots some place else.
can you please fix these bug thanks :D
@ELSaitam
The new version for Sponge will have no dependency and has currently priority before I add new features to this plugin. But i will think about your suggestions and add some maybe later.
And yes this plugin is fully compatible to Spigot.
@Goasi
Sorry so late in responding. use more time this plugin and I love it. I I meant that it would be better that the plugin didn't have dependencies, but if so would rather it this well. I would like if possible that add you, a lobby of waiting upon entering an arena, to wait for enough players for the start of the game, which in the waiting lobby you can select teams and different kits for every style of play. These kits would be well able to configure them in the yml. Fireworks at the winner. Add benefits for vips, for example: enter full arenas, Double points Permission and Triple points Permission.
Here are several ideas to further improve this excellent plugin, I hope to implement some of these ideas and that they keep updating the plugin. ;)
does it work with spigot?
I hope you answer me please :D
@ELSaitam
Hi,
what exactly do you want? It's hard to guess what you are expecting, when you say that you don't like it. :)
What don't you like? The features of the signs? The design?
@Chrzi
love this plugin, I love, but the only thing I don't like are the signs, you could make a new model? or do 2 options to create the signs of joining?
I hope you answer me please :)
@to175
Yes, bcBow supports bcSignWalls. Select with WorldEdit one sign or a wall of signs and use the command "/bow lobbywall [start-id]" (the start id specifies the arena to show on the top of the lobbywall, default is 1). Lobbywalls show basic information about the arena (arena name or id, game state, current gamemode and the players currently playing in the arena), but you can only configure the language and the players need the permission "bcsignwalls.use".
If you want to have just a basic "Click to join" sign and no information about the arena, you can use the custom signwalls from bcSignWalls. Place the sign(s) with the content you want, create a custom signwall and add the "/bow join <arena>" command to it. More information here.
Is there Sign for Click to play in this plugin please ? :)
(And are they configurable ? ~ language :p)
@Estrong123
You can use the "/bow creategame <arena> [gamemode]" command (Permission node is: bcbow.admin.game.create). This command creates a new game in an empty arena and you can specify the gamemode, but there is currently no possibility to vote.
Yay, dankee :)
I've created an arena with a few different gamemodes, how do you choose which gamemode you want to play? I don't see any commands or voting that allows you to choose.

Der Bug ist mit der Version 1.2.1-RELEASE gefixt.
Momentan wird die Version noch vom Bukkit-Team durchgeschaut (was ein bisschen dauern kann), Du findest sie aber ebenfalls im Jenkins und kannst sie dort herunterladen.
Super, toll der Support :)
@Jvinnie97
Den Bug werd ich mir gleich mal anschauen, in den nächsten 1-2Tagen sollte der gefixt sein.
Wegen dem Schaden des Bogen werd ich mir mal was für die nächste Version überlegen, um das anpassbar zu machen. :)
Bei CTF "spawnt" keine neue Flagge, wenn der flaggn Träger getötet wurde und zu gleich beide Fahnen zugleich geraubt wurden. Es gibt dann einfach keine Fahne mehr und die User müssen die Zeit dann absitzen.
Zudem als kleine Idee, ich finde den Bogen etwas OP, vieleicht könnte man was hinzufügen, wobei man dies disablen kann und eigende Waffen pro Arena hinzufügen kann, als Flag oder so. :) Sonst finde ich das PL echt gur gelungen!
