Bukkit

Features

• A global score.
• Give players global score when he joins, kills a player, craft a diamond pickaxe, et cetera...
• You can also take away some of the player's score. For example when he primes TNT.
• Command to view and modify the score.
• Scoreboard support! You can activate the scoreboard feature to show the global score in the scoreboard. The sidebar, the playerlist and below the player's nametag are possible positions for the score to show up.
