Transform your server's Dragon Egg into a high-stakes game of "Hot Potato"! This plugin turns the Dragon Egg into a powerful relic that grants the holder massive buffs but makes them a target for everyone else on the server. Join The Discord For Suggestions To This or help!
Features
Dynamic Tracking: Any compass renamed to "Dragon Tracker" (customizable) will point directly to the current egg holder in real-time.
Powerful Buffs: The player holding the egg receives configurable potion effects (Speed, Strength, Resistance, and Haste).
Forced Glowing: The holder is outlined with a glowing effect, making it impossible to hide in the shadows!
Real-time Alerts: The entire server is notified via broadcast when the egg is claimed or dropped.
External Integration: Automatically generates a current_holder.txt file in the plugin folder, perfect for syncing with Discord bots or web dashboards.
Fully Configurable: Easily adjust effect levels (1-3), toggle glowing, and customize all chat messages.
Commands
/whereegg — Displays the current holder's username and their exact X, Y, Z coordinates.
