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.

New version in development. Features include:
Two new features which will not be included in this update but will be considered in the future are:
EDIT: Development of new version is finished! After some quick bug testing, version will be released in 24 hours.
@GodsDead I think many of the features which you mentioned are already added, possibly in a slightly different form (head is already delivered, there is already a scoreboard of the amount of money bountied on a player). I like the idea of taxing the bounties so that people can't just cancel them, and I also think server-wide notifications are a good idea.
Take some inspiration from http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/herobounty/
@FuRiouSOne
All very good ideas. I especially like the tax idea, and it could be expanded so that you can't just set a bounty and then cancel it before the player dies.
I'll release a massive update of the plugin in June probably, so until then, everyone feel free to keep giving suggestions here!
Another feature that could be added.
Ad some type of server tax to the config which takes out a percentage of the bounty amount once a bounty is placed?
Things thats needed.
Hi, only 2 questions 1 - If I create a "bounty" reward put what I must pay? 2 - The commands have permissions?
The plugin is great. :)
@1234smauel1234
That's a really good idea! I'm planning on releasing a new version during the summer, so if anyone has any more suggestions, feel free to post them.
otherwise the plugin is great :)
You should add a scoreboard system such as when a player has 50 bounty it says in a belowName Scoreboard: Bounty: 50 And if a player have 100 in bounty it says: Bounty: 100 That feature would be awesome! Also add permissions to every command so the owners of the server can give players access to not all commands :)
@CharzParz
Is Bounty included when you type /plugins? My Skype is lambdaviking, feel free to add me.
I put the bounty plugin into my plugins folder when I launch the server and type /bounty help no commands are shown
I don't get a error message when ever I do the /b or /bounty command it doesn't do any thing or when I do /bounty help it says "unknown command do /help for list of commands" I also don't get a bounty file with the config in side or a bounty file over all I would be happy to skype and share my screen
@CharzParz
Please PM me or send over the Facebook the error message which appears in your server logs.
@CharzParz
Wow, I'm sorry, but do you really think this is going to get you help? Did you even look in your logs? You provide no information to go on. As far as I can tell you don't know what you are doing and that's your problem.
The plugin doenst work for me please help!!! >.< I want it on my server so bad!!!
@SeeingBlue
Currently there are no permissions (anyone can use any bounty commands), but if a good amount of server admins would like bounty commands to have permissions attached, we can add them.
Are there any permission nodes?
@tizleee
Thanks for your support!
It is intentional that it only shows five bounties on the /bounties command because I thought that more than that would be too much. Currently it shows the top five most expensive bounties.
I'm not sure what you mean by auto-updating, but I'll add you on Skype so we can talk! Awesome to hear that you would be willing to help support the plugin.
@tizleee
I already mentioned the auto update (I think you mean broadcast).
