Lottery
Lottery
Lottery is a simple text-based plugin for Minecraft Servers.
What exactly does it do?
A user is able to enter the lottery at any given time and will be given a number, the entry price is displayed in /lottery price the pot (/lottery pot) will be raised with the amount the user paid to enter it. Either when an OP executes the /Lottery draw command or the maximum amount of buyable tickets is reached (configurable), the system will automatically pick 3 random numbers, if the pot for example was 150$, the first person would win 75$, the second 50$ and the third 25$.
Why is this useful?
A lot of people would like to make money in an economy, and this isn't always an easy task. If they're feeling lucky, they are able to enter the lottery and who knows, maybe they'll hit the jackpot.
Won't this ruin my economy?
Not at all! The plugin is driven with the money that users paid for the tickets, so there will be no money taken or added to the economy at all.
What happens when I restart my server?
No problem! The plugin uses hashmaps and saves those in the server folder, making sure none of its data gets lost.
What if someone wins, but is logged out?
That also is stored in the hashmaps, as soon as they log in, they'll claim their reward, without the need of any kind of online database.
Are there any bugs or issues I should know about?
There are none at the moment.
Will the plugin keep getting updated?
Yes, and all future updates excluding fixes or performance improvements, will all be configurable so it'll all be optional.
Help! I found a bug, what do I do?
You can contact me on Bukkit or via e-mail at [email protected] I check my mails daily
This e-mail is also valid for suggestions and questions
with the auto-draw function how often does it do the draw?
It'll be available as soon as the file gets approved,
Thank you for the kind feedback so far :)
Nice to hear I was hoping that you were planning to keep it simple. I may have to look over to switching from lotery+ to this depending on how well it works :)
I saw this on the requests page too and really wanted to see it take off. I am glad to see it is being made, when will it be available for download
Glad it is simple, keeping it lightweight is a good way to go. ;)
Will be keeping an eye on this.
@lawliet555 Even if it was 99% the same, it is always good to have more than 1 dev working on the same type of plugin.
If one isn't able to update you always have another.

I created this plugin without taking a look at others.
A person on the Bukkit forums had requested a simple lottery plugin.
And mine is, in fact, very simple.
This plugin was more of a challenge to myself as it is the first plugin I have created, I've been using the Java programming language for years though.
I posted it here because if others desire to use it, they can.
I'm also taking suggestions, anything that people request will certainly be considered.
That way people can have the plugin just the way they want it. :)
What is the difference between this plugin and one such as Lottery+?
