HiRewards
HiRewards is a lightweight plugin that gives custom rewards when players greet a joining player with things like "welcome" or "hello!" The plugin aims to build a strong community by encouraging your player base to greet both new and returning players. The plugin is designed as a very supplementary and unintrusive cousin of the various "chat games" plugins out there.
Features
- Custom rewards (compatible with any economy plugin)
- Different rewards for greeting new players & greeting returning players
- Custom trigger words (supports regex)
- Custom response window intervals
- Custom cooldown intervals
- Anti-exploit system
A Fabric port of this plugin is not planned.
