MashStrikeDrops

MashStrikeDrops is a Paper plugin for building custom "strike mobs" that players hit repeatedly for rewards.

Instead of normal combat, each configured mob acts like an event target:

• every successful hit can give an item reward
• every successful hit can run server commands
• the final hit can give a separate reward pool
• the final hit can run a separate command pool
• mobs can broadcast spawn and death messages
• admins can create and edit mobs entirely in-game

The plugin is aimed at event servers, crates-style mob encounters, grind zones, boss-lite content, and custom reward systems without needing MythicMobs or a larger RPG stack.

Features

• Create reusable mob templates with /sd create
• Spawn strike mobs at your location or fixed coordinates
• Configure hit count, entity type, scale, AI, knockback, and cooldown
• Add per-hit item rewards from the item in your hand
• Add final-hit item rewards from the item in your hand
• Add grouped command pools for hit rewards and final-hit rewards
• Configure optional spawn messages and death messages
• Support for several entity-specific settings:
  • slime size
  • sheep color
  • villager profession
  • baby/adult state for ageable mobs
• Optional top-hitter broadcast on death
• Optional persistence for active mobs across reload/disable
• Clickable active mob admin controls in /sd listactive

Requirements

• Server software: Paper 1.21.x
• Java: 21

Paper-compatible forks may also work, but the plugin is built against the Paper API.

Installation

1. Download MashStrikeDrops-1.0.0.jar
2. Place it in your server's plugins/ folder
3. Start the server once
4. Stop the server if you want to edit the generated config first
5. Start the server again and configure mobs with commands or YAML files in plugins/MashStrikeDrops/Mobs

Quick Start

Create a basic strike mob:

/sd create zombieboss &6Zombie Boss
/sd modify zombieboss hits 25
/sd modify zombieboss entity zombie
/sd modify zombieboss scale 1.5
/sd modify zombieboss cooldown 0.4
/sd spawn zombieboss

Add per-hit rewards:

1. Hold the reward item in your main hand
2. Run /sd modify zombieboss drops add

Add a final-hit reward:

1. Hold the final reward item in your main hand
2. Run /sd modify zombieboss finaldrop item add

Add a per-hit command pool:

/sd modify zombieboss command add coins eco give %player% 25

Add a final-hit command pool:

/sd modify zombieboss finaldrop command add jackpot crate key give %player% rare 1

Configuration Notes

Main config file: plugins/MashStrikeDrops/config.yml

Notable settings:

• drops.give-directly: gives rewards straight to the player inventory instead of throwing them from the mob
• hit-message.enabled: sends hit progress messages
• active-mobs.persist-on-disable: keeps active mobs through plugin disable/server stop
• active-mobs.persist-on-reload: keeps active mobs through /sd reload
• sounds.hit, sounds.death, sounds.spawn: sound effects
• top-hitters.enabled: announces the top hitters when a mob dies
• global-hit-commands: commands that run on every successful hit

Mobs are stored as separate YAML files in plugins/MashStrikeDrops/Mobs/.

Placeholders

Supported placeholders in messages and commands include:

• %player%
• %mob%
• %drop%
• %hits%
• %pos%

Notes

• Strike damage is handled by the plugin, so normal combat damage against active strike mobs is cancelled.
• Environmental damage to active mobs is also cancelled and cleaned up by the plugin.
• Active mobs use persistent data so they can optionally be restored after reload/disable, depending on config.
