Configurable Shields
Simple plugin to make shields configurable.
What the plugin allows you to do:
- Add items to disable shields with, each item can have its own cooldown (in ticks) overriding the vanilla one
- Modify the vanilla shield cooldown to your liking
CONFIG
The config is as follows:
# ConfigurableShields config.
# Uses MiniMessage for coloring. Take a look at https://webui.advntr.dev/
shields:
cooldown: 20 # The default shield cooldown in ticks. This overrides the vanilla one, ticks are amountofseconds * 20.
messages:
# A customizable reload message is better than nothing.
reload: "<dark_green>Reloaded successfully!</dark_green>"
# List of additional items to allow disabling the shield with followed by their cooldown in ticks, overrides the cooldown above,
# NAMES MUST BE UPPERCASE. List available at https://jd.papermc.io/paper/1.21.10/org/bukkit/Material.html
items:
# WOODEN_SWORD: 20 <- As you can see here, it's the item enum name followed by the cooldown in ticks for it. this will disable the shield for a second (20 ticks = 1 s) when hit by a wooden sword
