A custom airdrops for your Minecraft server!
Installation & Prerequisites

Quick Start:

Core Functionality
In-game Configuration
SkyDrops features a complete GUI-based settings editor, eliminating the need for manual file editing. All core parameters, including drop announcement times and scheduled intervals, are configurable in real-time.
Drop Claim Mechanics
To secure an airdrop's contents, players must interact with the drop chest a pre-configured number of times. This introduces a controlled delay to the claim process.
