Slayer

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Minecraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Slayer adds new task-based gameplay to Minecraft with inspiration from RuneScape's "Slayer" skill.


Slayer


Notice

Due to my involvement with another very large project (Demigods 3, a continuation and complete remake from the ground up of Demigods 2), I will not be updating Slayer for a while. I will hopefully get to it within a month or two and start adding more features. I greatly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Stay tuned for eventual updates though. Thank you.


Installation

To install Slayer, simply drop the Slayer.jar file into your plugins directory and reload! A configuration file will be generated automatically along with two other task and string configuration files and you can use those to fine-tune your Slayer installation.


Slayer v1.2 Changelog


Updating

As of Slayer v1.1, the plugin includes a built in automatic update system so you never have to bother downloading from BukkitDev and messing with FTP again. You can set the plugin to automatically update on reload when a new update is available, or you can set it to a command (/slayer update) reserved for users with the slayer.update permission node. By default, Slayer will automatically notify those same users when a new update is available, but you can disable that too.

It's highly recommended that you keep auto update enabled as it allows for faster bug fixes and feature releases, but it's of course completely up to you if you want to leave it set to auto or not.


Features

  • Generates a tasks.yml file which allows you to completely customize your server's tasks.
    • Currently supports timed tasks, item obtaining tasks, mob killing tasks, and more to come!
    • Includes 17 creatively designed default tasks (all editable of course) which allow you to start playing immediately!
  • Extremely easy-to-use item processing screen to update your tasks.
  • Specify item rewards for task completions (with enchantments too!).
  • Rewards are saved in the players very own rewards "backpack" for easy viewing and obtaining.
  • Set limits on how many tasks players can have at any given time.
  • Tasks are extremely easy to choose via the Task Inventory which holds automatically generated "Task Scrolls" (/tasks).
  • Sends active progress messages to players upon completing elements of their assigned tasks and lets them know when they can fully complete a task.
  • Customizable messages for Slayer-related events via the generated strings.yml file.
  • If enabled, will automatically prevent players from camping at spawners for kills.


Planned Features

  • In-depth Statistics Mostly finished!
  • Leveling system to allow for greater expandability. Finished!
  • New UI-based task displaying (moving as much out of the chat as possible). Finished!
  • Rework the reward handling to be simpler and easy to use. Finished!
  • Leaderboard
  • Give players economy-related rewards (will work with most major economy plugins)
  • More task types and features!
  • Allow random rewards for tasks.
  • Possible NPC support. (?)
  • Allow admins to set time periods that tasks that can be used (a task can be reused after X hours).

Any planned feature listed above is subject to change or removal, though it's unlikely.


Known Issues

  • Already completed tasks are available again after the server is restarted.

These issues are at the top of my priorities to fix. If you run into any more, please leave me a comment below.
