DeathCountdown
DeathCountdown is a brand new RPG plugin, based off of the concept in the film 'In Time'.
The aim of the game is to survive (like most things), except there's a twist. You're against the clock. By default, you have 2500 seconds to live and time is going by every second. When you reach 0 seconds, you are permanently banned from the server, like Hardcore mode. You gain time (the seconds to live is known as 'time') by killing mobs and players. You lose time by dying.
The time you have is also the main currency, so you can use it to buy items at the 'time shop' (sign shops) and sell items to gain time.
Installing DeathCountdown is simple:
- Download the latest version of DeathCountdown from here.
- Place that version of DeathCountdown into the /plugins/ folder of your server
- Restart your server - DO NOT reload, it will cause DeathCountdown to crash
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Plugin updating feature As of DeathCountdown 2.0, the plugin can now show download links to the latest version, which is shown in the server's console log upon loading. To disable this feature, set 'UpdateCheck' in the config.yml file to 'false' instead of 'true'
Keeping the plugin up to date
- Updating is relatively simple, but it may require you to reset your config.yml - check the new features when downloading a new build to check if it adds anything to the config.yml. If it does adjust the config.yml, delete it and run the plugin as normal. Then you are free to adjust the config to your needs and it can be reloaded while the plugin is running with /dc reload.
Other Information
- Data used by the plugin is stored in an SQLite database (DeathCountdowndata.db) found in the DeathCountdown plugin folder.

Posted Jul 31, 2014Suggestion:
- Make players invencible and make mobs hitting the player make them lose time.
- Players don't get banned, let them just die.

Posted Dec 23, 2013Banning players from your server is counter productive... I would try this if the ability to configure options like: Player dies, loses all items and is taken back to zero for everything. Would work well if instead of having a spawn you had players start and "respawn" in random places throughout the world making it harder for them to find and regain lost items. OR Player reaches zero, dies and is rolled back to nothing and sent to spawn to start over? (support for core protect etc)

Posted Nov 18, 2013Can you make it so there is a config so instead of being banned, you get teleported back to main spawn? Then you cant use the world or go into it for 24 hours. Thanks in advanced.

I'm not going to say that it's impossible... but it would require a complete database rewrite. I'll see what I can do :)

Posted Nov 17, 2013Thanks, one more thing, you addet Multiverse support, so i can ban the users for just 1 map. can you add a posibillity, that each world have another another time? I mean: If you were baned from World 1, you can join World 2 with the 1800s? So you can go on playing in World 2. Can you do this? It would be very very nice ;)

Posted Nov 15, 2013Could you make it so instead of banning a player when his time is over, it executes a list of commands you can edit in the config, if this would be an option that can be toggled (either ban or execute the commands) you support both bungeecord as multiworld servers, like requested earlier in the comments.

In the latest update (1.2 - ETA 11th), there will be the /dc revive <player> command, so you could use another plugin which schedules commands (for example) to run that specific command.
DeathCountdown is trying to be as light as possible, but if enough people agree with this idea, I'll try and put it in :)

Posted Nov 1, 2013Seriously awesome plugin, isn't this plugin based on a movie called "In Time"? They gain "life time points" in the movie by having a job and they pay with "time" for food.. etc. Would be awesome if you added support for those things ^.
