Bounty
Bounty
Short Summary
This plugin allows players on your server to place bounties on other players and complete existing bounties by killing their targets. After performing a targeted kill, the assassin will be compensated with an in-game money reward, and any player who set a bounty on the killed player will receive a copy of this dead player's head. Bounty is meant to be a fun way to add incentive for combat on PvP servers.

Dependencies
Bounty requires Vault for economy integration and permission management.
Commands
The following commands allow players to create, check, and delete bounties:
- /bounty [-ao] <player> <$$$> Allows you to take out a bounty on another player (using -a makes the bounty anonymous, and using -o sets a bounty on the player even if they have never appeared on the server)
- /bounties Shows all bounties
- /bountyon <player> Shows the total bounty on a player
- /unbounty <player> Cancels the bounty on a player and refunds part of the reward
Permissions
Bounty relies on Vault for Permissions and will thus detect many different Permissions systems. This feature was added in version 3.0 and will not work in any version below that. The following nodes are recognized by the plugin in:
- bounty.set Gives access to the /bounty command
- bounty.view Gives access to the /bounties and /bountyon commands
- bounty.cancel Gives access to the /unbounty command
Customization Options
Admins can customize Bounty in the config.yml file by editing the following values:
- minBounty The smallest amount of cash which a player can use to create a Bounty
- cancelPenalty The percentage of money which is lost when a player cancels a bounty
- markSkulls If true, reward skulls will be watermarked with "(BOUNTIED)"
- globalBroadcast If true, global broadcasts will be made when a bounty is created or completed
- anonymousName The name to display for the creator of a bounty which has been marked as anonymous
- enableInAllWorlds If true, assassins will receive a bounty for a kill in any world
- enabledWorlds The list of worlds in which bounties are turned on (does nothing of enableInAllWorlds is set to true)
- colors A list of the colors which are used by the plugin
- awardHeadChance The probability that a skull will be given to anyone who sets a bounty (1 means always, 0 means never, and anything in between gives a percent chance)
To manually create a bounty, admins can add entries to the list which exists at the bottom of the config.yml file.
Common Issues
If edits to the config appear to be getting overridden for some reason, stop the server completely, make your edits, and then restart the server. However, this issue shouldn't be happening on newer versions of the plugin.
Language Customization
All text used by the plugin is available to be edited in the languageConfig.yml file. Change or translate it to your heart's content.

I managed to get a hold of 2.8, by changing the link for 2.7 (I incremented the first number in the link until it worked). We had to wipe the config file with old bounties because players were getting errors. (And we did give everyone the three permissions.) But, even though the errors were gone, when someone killed a bountied player (who left and rejoined), they did not receive any money, but they did get 2 heads. And sometimes /bounties shows there is a bounty on someone's head, yet /bountyon shows 0. Unless I set something up wrong, or if version 2.8 isn't the right one, the plugin doesn't work.

It's been under review for a while, I'm not sure what's taking so long. I'm currently setting up a repository so that you guys can download beta versions while the official one is still under review.
Hmm no update yet :/
@waco2
Great! I'd really appreciate it.
@ApparitionX
I've been meaning to do that for a while now. Sometime this week I should be able to set it up.
I don't mean to be demanding, but could you maybe post a link to your repository or, if you don't want to release the code, at least link to some (non-BukkitDev) site that hosts the development builds/unapproved files? I trust there is no malicious code, and we are rather impatient. Haha
@liltyskie
I just finished an update that adds Permission. It's currently awaiting approval by BukkitDev.
You really need to add permissions. I only want a certain group to use the commands and well, it's not possible.
This is a great plugin, would be better with permissions
@waco2
Great to hear! I am one of the admins on legendsmc.org It's both the website and the server address. However, the plugin has only been installed for a few days now, so only a couple of players have used it yet.
@ApparitionX
Don't worry, the update is almost done, although it may take a little while for the new file to be approved by Bukkit.
I can definitely add an option to disable anonymous bounties. If you don't mind, could you send me the link to your server? I'd like to see how the plugin is playing out and what percentage are anonymous vs. known.
I am awaiting the next update as well. Without UUID support, players lose their bounties as soon as they log out. A player wanted me to find a new plugin, but I decided to wait for this one to update instead, since this has nearly all of the features I look for in such a plugin.
One other request: Can you make possible to toggle anonymous bounties off and on in the configuration? We would prefer if players be forced to reveal their identity when they set a bounty.
Thank you!
@Gaurav1234
I'll release an update with UUIDs and some other changes soon!
@XenosMinecraft
A lot of admins have actually told me that they wouldn't really use Permissions with the plugin if I added them, but I can add them pretty easily, so I might throw them in for the next update. Get ready for some "new age shit" :P
Could this be updated for support of UUIDs?
Thanks!
I'm gonna throw a crazy fast ball at yuh. some new age shit.
add. permission. nodes. ffs. -.-'
@GabePizzolato
It should work with any version newer than 1.6.2
so we would use the 1.6.2 version?
By the way guys, if your server uses Bounty and you would like me to list it on the plugin page, just let me know!
@marubal21
It is now available, just took a while for it to be approved for upload, sorry!
When can we expect the next version to be available?
