BountyBoard

A complete, free bounty system.

ReleasedFreePlayer experience

A wanted board and bounty-hunting system with pooled bounties, a deliberately imperfect tracking compass and leaderboards.

  • Spigot
  • Paper
  • Purpur

Features

  • Pooled bounties: several players can add money to the same target.
  • Native wanted board and hunter leaderboard menus with player heads; no menu plugin needed.
  • Compass tracking with configurable drift, so it is never an exact GPS.
  • Combat-log guard pays the last valid attacker when a target disconnects mid-fight.
  • Durable payout queue: claims and refunds are retried after a restart or when the player joins.
  • PlaceholderAPI expansion and cancellable developer events.

Usage example

Place a bounty, track a target and review claims.

text
/bounty place <player> <amount> [anonymous]
/bounty track <player>
/bounty history [player]
