DeathCannon
About
I've been reading the Hunger Games series and I found the way that they announced the deaths in the arena with the cannon and the announcement at night was really cool, so I decided to replicate the same thing in plugin form (Panem anthem not included).This plugin won't really change any game mechanics, it simply replicates how death is dealt with in the Hunger Games arenas.
Features
- Thunder sounds every time a player is killed.
- Death messages and causes will not be displayed as they happen, only the thunder indicates a player has died.
- Death messages and causes are saved and displayed only once a day after sunset, just like in the series.
Configuration
When using this plugin for the first time, a config.yml will generate for you in the plugin directory. There are two options.
- World: [world name] This indicates the world that the plugin will keep track of the time in. Deaths will only be displayed after sunset in that world.
- AllWorlds: [true/false] This is whether or not you would like to have thunder and the death displays in all of your worlds or just the world listed in the first config option.
Installation
Just drag the DeathCannon.jar file into your plugins folder and restart your server (reloading not recommended). An editable config.yml (for settings) file and database.yml (for storage) file should automatically generate for you.
NOTE: You must be using Java JRE7 on your server to use this plugin! If you are getting an "UnsupportedClassVersionError", then you are using JRE6 and that is the reason why the plugin isn't working!
To-Do
- Requested features that someone may suggest.
- Fix any bugs that may occur. I greatly encourage and appreciate bug reports!

Announcement
I am also going to be working on a full Hunger Games plugin. Planned features include thirst, energy, map rollback, automatic chest filling, repeating rounds, and many more! We will be releasing Beta versions soon! Check out the plugin on it's bukkitdev page:
Please Please Please update this my server has The Hunger Games installed and when someone dies I need lightning to go off!
Oh man, we seriously need an update for 1.4.6, I've been looking for this for weeks!
Is this plugin dead?
hey where are the perms???
@TaterTotsYum
No, it will be optional. There are obviously many many people out there who would not download the client or perhaps don't even know about it. All the necessary things will be there for those that don't use Spoutcraft, but using Spoutcraft will definitely improve the experience. For example, we are planning to have energy and thirst bars in addition to health and hunger. Spoutcraft users will get a nice GUI with an energy bar and thirst bar while vanilla Minecraft users will have to type in a command to see their energy and thirst levels.
@tomjw64
Will spoutcraft be required to use the new plugin?
Also, I'm probably going to be working with @HaydenCappldona on a pretty big, SpoutCraft supporting Hunger/Survival Games plugin. Look for it in the near future. Also, I may be running some tests on it before we release it, so look for tester requests as well. Thanks to any of you who care! :)
It turns out that I only half fixed the threading problem, so I've uploaded a new version to fix it. I would only suggest updating if you are receiving errors with the current version.
@ARavinMadMonkey
Don't mind at all.
I hope you dont mind but I took the source and made it work with Java 6. Here it is:

EDIT:After testing I found out it doesn't work/ Sorry it doesn't work but ill still work and try and get it working
@hawkfalcon
I gave a github link to the source if you still want it.
@bladedpenguin
Read the "Installation" section.
I've got an error using the latest bukkit beta
I've just uploaded a new version. Look for v1.2.1. This version will fix any problems that those of you using NoLagg may have experienced. My bad, I should have been using thread safe methods.
@nightelfcov
Hm... After testing it, I don't see that problem. Make sure you are completely restarting just for good measure and make sure the config file is saved. I'm sorry to point to these simple things as the problem, but I just can't replicate it.
@hawkfalcon
Sure, I could do that. I was under the impression that nobody would want it. xD Look for it soon.
Source code on Github would be very nice! :)
@tomjw64
yeah , but with Innovation Gaming , we just can Launch and stop the server x)
Awesome! Thnx for the quick fix! I'll update my server soon, and report any bugs. And I'm looking forward to seeing the full HG plugin.
There we go. I just uploaded v1.2. It adds a config option to decide whether or not to do stuff in all worlds or just the one defined in the config. Thanks @zeotom!
v1.2 also changes the display of the deaths as well as makes it so that names cannot be repeated and end up spamming your chat (Sets ftw!)
Lastly, the plugin no longer uses database.yml. Feel free to delete it.
Sorry it took me so long to update, as I've been working on a full Hunger Games plugin. Tell me any bugs you guys find!
@zeotom
oops xD
