***
\n### **What can you do with it?**
\nYou can create falling star events that:
\n1. Display stunning particle trails as they fall (LINEAR, SPIRAL, or RANDOM animations)
\n2. Play custom impact sounds and spawn ground effects when they land
\n3. Reward players with weighted loot pools, commands, and economy hooks
\n4. Track player collection statistics with global leaderboards
\n*Everything is handled through clean config files or an in-game GUI.*<\/p>\n
### **Spawn Methods that fit your server**
\nStars don’t have to spawn the same way every time.
\nYou can configure spawning based on:<\/p>\n
* Random chance as players move around the world
\n* Timed intervals for individual players or all online players
\n* Scheduled server-wide meteor shower events
\n* Area-based spawning within WorldGuard regions
\n* Manual admin commands for special occasions<\/p>\n
*If a player is AFK, they won’t receive random stars, configurable movement and look detection ensures only active players are rewarded.*<\/p>\n
### **Powerful Event System**
\nCreate memorable server events with full control.<\/p>\n
Events support:
\n* Center-based spawning around a specific location
\n* Player-targeted spawning with chance rolls per player
\n* Random player selection for exclusive rewards
\n* Customizable spawn windows and intervals
\n* Per-player cooldowns, daily limits, and max triggers
\n* Boss bar announcements with rolling multi-bar support<\/p>\n
*Events can be started via commands, and stars can be automatically removed when the event ends.*<\/p>\n
### **Full Integration Support**
\nFallingStars works seamlessly with your existing setup.<\/p>\n
* WorldGuard integration for region-based spawn control
\n* PlaceholderAPI support for leaderboards and statistics
\n* Full command-based reward execution
\n### **Compatibility & Performance**<\/p>\n
Designed exclusively for the latest Minecraft API to deliver maximum performance and future-proof stability.<\/p>\n
**Zero NMS** (Net Minecraft Server) Usage<\/p>\n
Since the plugin uses no NMS, updates are smooth and consistent, your server can usually update versions without needing a plugin update.<\/p>\n
### **Database Support**<\/p>\n
Fully supports **MySQL** and **MariaDB** (recommended for best performance).
\nLocal **H2** database works out of the box but is not advised for large servers due to limited scalability.<\/p>\n
### **Configuration & Documentation**
\nEvery configuration file is meticulously documented to ensure a smooth setup experience, even for beginners, or you can use the in-game GUI to configure the plugin without touching any files!<\/p>\n
Whether you’re customizing star appearances, tuning spawn chances, designing event schedules, or configuring reward pools, you’ll find clear explanations for every option.
