💥 BoomControl

BoomControl is a lightweight and focused plugin designed specifically for SMP servers that want to limit or nerf Crystal PvP. It offers fine-tuned control over End Crystal and Respawn Anchor explosions to prevent unfair advantages or griefing, while keeping gameplay fun and balanced.

🎯 Why BoomControl?

On many SMPs, End Crystals and Respawn Anchors are used in PvP for massive burst damage. BoomControl gives you full control over how these items behave:

• Disable or weaken crystal PvP
• Prevent griefing through explosion block damage
• Make explosions only damage the attacker
• Keep your SMP fun and fair without banning crystals entirely

🔧 Features

• ✅ Toggle the plugin globally
• 🔄 Reload settings on the fly with /boomcontrol reload
• 🧨 Full control over End Crystal behavior
• 🌋 Full control over Respawn Anchors
• ❌ Block explosion grief (block breaking & fire)
• 📢 Custom denial messages for blocked actions

🧨 Crystal Settings

crystal:
  enabled: true           # REQUIRES server restart to change
  mode: "self"            # Options: "disabled", "self", "vanilla"
  break-blocks: false     # Prevents block damage
  start-fire: false       # Stops fire on explosion
  show-deny-message: true # Inform players when blocked

Modes:

• "disabled" – Crystals won't explode at all.
• "self" – Only the player who triggered the explosion takes damage.

🌋 Respawn Anchor Settings

anchor:
  enabled: true
  mode: "self"            # Same options as crystal
