ExplodingArrows
ExplodingArrows
Always wanted to have arrows explode in your server? Then this plugin is for you, it adds the ability to toggle exploding arrows on or off with on simple command. Most useful for griefing/pvp servers that want to have fun battles.
If you type /ea in-game you will toggle the exploding arrows plugin, thus arrows will explode on impact.
In depth description
This plugin, simply adds exploding arrows. They can be very fun if you have a PvP server and want to blow up the enemies castle. They can also be used in cave mining, if you want to clear out a big cave very quickly. That is where this plugin comes in handy as it does all those things. The explosion is 1 bigger than TNT so you will be dealing quite alot of damage to the player or the area you're trying to destroy.
Features
- Easy to use.
- Easy to setup and install.
- Good fun.
- Uses hunger as the 'Mana' so it is not to overpowered.
- Damages player 2 hearts, no matter how far away the player is from the initial explosion.
Command(s)
- /ea - Toggles the feature on or off.
- aliases: [explode, earrows, earrow, exarrow, exarrows]
Permissions:
- explodingarrows.use - Allows the usergroup to use the Exploding Arrows feature.
How to install
- Download ExplodingArrows.jar.
- Drag and drop it into your plugins folder in your server directory.
- If your server is loaded bring it to a stand still.
- Load it again and make sure the plugin loads correctly.
- Stop your server again.
- Reopen and use the plugin.
- Enjoy. :D
To-do
- Add permissions. - DONE
- Add other cool features.
- The arrow will only explode if it's at full velocity and the player has AT LEAST 10 arrows remaining. (Reduces overpoweredness.)

Will this plugin ever be updated?
Hey everyone! Sorry I've been SO inactive lately! I've had so much school work + exams etc. I'm now getting back into coding etc, so I'll have time to update this plugin AND make new awesome ones :)
@XlegitXcrazymanX
Why do you mean no hunger bar was recived?
When I spawn in bread and I ate 20 and no hunger bar was recived. Why is this?
@Iaintee
Done! :)
@YoFuzzy3
Thanks for your suggestions! I'll start getting to work on them as soon as I can. Could you post a ticket with your suggestions so I can find it easier when I need to see the suggestions again?
Thanks :)
This is a great plugin! I've got some suggestions to add to it. :)
If you could do all 3 then it would make setting up a special class on a PvP/RPG server a lot more configurable which would be great!
Thanks!
Keep track of dev builds here:

Hey, are you at full hunger? In the latest version you are required to be at full hunger.
Hey I have been using this plugin and given myself the permissions. It says it turned on when I do /ea but the arrows arent exploding. Any reason this isnt working for me?
@bigscary
Hmmm. Got the hunger bit working, now trying to figure out the arrow velocity method.
@bigscary
I really like your ideas! I'll get to work on them.
/reload can cause problems :p
Hey Lain, this is a cool idea. :) However I'm thinking it might be a little overpowered to give any player the option to toggle explosive arrows anytime he wants (I know you have a permission for it, but where's the fun if all players don't get it?).
May I suggest making explosive arrows happen only when the player is at full hunger and the arrow is completely pulled back before fired (I think you can check arrow velocity for this). The advantage to hunger is that it means any explosive arrow mode is temporary, and it's more temporary when the player is expending lots of energy or taking damage. :)
Alternately, you could "overload" one of the existing bow enchantments that's not much fun (like power) to randomly cause explosions on impact (high percentage for higher levels of the power enchant).
On installation instructions, you can tell folks to just /reload. That way they don't have to boot all players off by rebooting the server completely.
Thanks for 1,000 downloads. :P
