⚔️ EC-DTC — Destroy The Core

EC-DTC is a configurable Destroy The Core event plugin for Minecraft servers.

Players compete to break a protected core, deal progress to its health, trigger event phases, climb the contribution ranking, and receive automatic rewards when the event ends.

It is built for servers that want a simple DTC event that can still be customized deeply: multiple locations, scheduled events, top rewards, Discord alerts, MiniMessage messages, and admin tools for managing event files in-game.

How Events Work

Each event has its own file:

plugins/EC-DTC/events/default.yml
plugins/EC-DTC/events/mina.yml
plugins/EC-DTC/events/your_event.yml

Example event structure:

Enabled: true
CoreHealth: 100
CoreMaterial: OBSIDIAN
Location:
  world: "world"
  x: 0
  y: 75
  z: 0

Schedule:
  ActiveDays:
    - "SUNDAY"
  Times:
    - "12:00"

hit-rewards:
  "100":
    - "eco give %player% 100"

The main config.yml is only for global settings such as language, bossbar, Discord webhook, top rewards, bedrock protection and duration.

Core data no longer belongs in config.yml.

---

Event Phases

Events can change as the core loses health.

You can configure phases like:

Phases:
  75:
    material: CRYING_OBSIDIAN
    sound: BLOCK_BEACON_ACTIVATE
    messages:
      - "<gold>DTC</gold> <gray>%event_id% reached</gray> <yellow>%phase%%</yellow><gray>.</gray>"
    commands:
      - "eco give %player% 50"
  50:
    material: ANCIENT_DEBRIS
    sound: ENTITY_WITHER_SPAWN
  25:
    material: NETHERITE_BLOCK
    sound: ENTITY_ENDER_DRAGON_GROWL

This lets the event feel more intense instead of being the same block from start to finish.

Migration From Old ECDTC

If you used the old ECDTC format, place the old folder here:

plugins/ECDTC/config.yml
plugins/ECDTC/lang.yml

Then run:

/dtc migrate v1

The migration will:

• Create backups before replacing files
• Move old core data into events/default.yml
• Move old language messages into lang/lang_es.yml
• Convert old RewardsTop lists into the new reward format
• Move old Times: into the new schedule format

---

Requirements

• Java 17 or newer
• Paper or Spigot
• PlaceholderAPI optional, recommended for placeholders
• Vault or an economy plugin if your reward commands use money

---

Installation

1. Stop your server.
2. Back up your current plugins/EC-DTC folder if you already have one.
3. Place the plugin .jar inside plugins/.
4. Start the server once to generate files.
5. Edit config.yml, events/*.yml and lang/*.yml.
6. Use /dtc validate to check event files.
7. Use /dtc reload after making changes.
8. Check console for warnings.
