💥 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.
• "vanilla" – Default Minecraft behavior.

🌋 Respawn Anchor Settings

anchor:
  enabled: true
  mode: "self"            # Same options as crystal
  break-blocks: true
  start-fire: true
  show-deny-message: true

Perfect for controlling Nether-based PvP or creative mechanics using anchors.

🔄 Command

/boomcontrol reload

Reloads the plugin configuration without restarting the server.
⚠️ Note: The enabled toggle and crystal.enabled require a restart.

🗨️ Custom Messages

messages:
  crystal-denied: "&cCrystal PvP is disabled on this server."
  anchor-denied: "&cRespawn anchor damage is not allowed."

Use color codes (&c, &7, etc.) to style your messages.

🏳️ WorldGuard Integration (Optional)

BoomControl integrates with WorldGuard to support region-based control using a custom flag.

🔖 boomcontrol Flag

If WorldGuard is installed, BoomControl registers a custom region flag:

boomcontrol

This flag allows you to disable BoomControl in specific regions, even if the plugin is globally enabled.

🧰 How It Works

• If the flag is set to DENY in a region, BoomControl will be disabled there completely.
  Explosion behavior in that region will follow normal Minecraft mechanics.
• If the flag is not set or explicitly ALLOW, BoomControl will apply as configured in settings.yml.

🧪 Example

To disable BoomControl inside a region:

/rg flag spawn boomcontrol deny

To enable it again:

/rg flag spawn boomcontrol allow

To remove the flag entirely:

/rg flag spawn -r boomcontrol

❗ Default Behavior

• If the flag is not set, BoomControl assumes ALLOW.
• This means BoomControl is active everywhere by default, unless explicitly denied via region flag.

🧠 Perfect For

• 🏰 SMP servers
• 🔒 Anti-grief setups
• ⚔️ PvP practice worlds with restricted meta
• 🛡️ Survival servers with balanced combat

✅ Lightweight & Reliable

No bloat. No complex dependencies. Just simple, effective explosion control. Make your SMP safer and more balanced with BoomControl.
