Egg Hunt

Turn a useless item into an all-out King of the Hill competition!

 

Features:

  • The Dragon Egg cannot be stored in your ender chest, and it will drop on the ground if you log out with it
  • Other players can use a compass to track the Dragon Egg, wherever it is in the world
  • Ownership is tracked through a last-held system- picking up the egg will give you ownership of it.
  • Dying with the egg, having it stolen, or losing it will change ownership accordingly.
  • The egg can be located/tracked regardless of whether it's a block, an item, or in an inventory, and across any dimension
  • Server owners can customize what commands players can use, and can even make the egg invincible

 

Commands:

  • /eggowner - displays the name of the player who currently owns the egg
  • /locateegg - displays the current coordinates of the egg, as well as how it's being stored
  • /trackegg - points the compass in your hand towards the egg

 

Customization:

This plugin's configuration file (config.yml) allows for several gameplay customizations to accommodate different types of servers.

  • The egg can be made invulnerable, or can be set to respawn in The End when it is destroyed
  • If set to respawn, the egg can either respawn immediately, or only after the dragon is beaten again
  • When the egg teleports, it can become "lost", so it will no longer have an owner until a player finds it
  • Dragon eggs that are already stored in a player's ender chest can be excluded from the hunt
  • The egg owner is tracked with an entity tag, so you target them with the selector @a[tag=eggOwner] in any commands.
  • Scoreboards track the amount of time each player has owned the dragon egg, and can be configured to track named entities as if those entities actually owned the egg.

 

The egg can't be hidden, so how will you choose to protect it? Builders can make sophisticated prisons to defend the egg, PvPers can battle potential thieves. Redstoners can construct complicated machines to move the egg around, and trappers can hide it deep in a dangerous labyrinth. This plugin allows for a huge variety of playstyles, and encourages regularly playing on the server in order to protect or steal the egg.
