### An Advanced and Fully Customizable Minecraft Pi\u00f1ata Event Plugin<\/p>\n

![Java](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/Java-8-blue.svg) ![Spigot API](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/API-Spigot%201.13%2B-orange.svg) ![License](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/License-MIT-green.svg) ![GitHub Stars](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/github\/stars\/bentahsin\/BenthPinata?style=social)<\/p>\n

*Designed for Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and all compatible server forks.*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

**BenthPinata** is a comprehensive Spigot plugin that adds fun, rewarding, and fully customizable Pi\u00f1ata events to your Minecraft server. Designed for server owners, this plugin allows you to bring your community together to attack a common goal, compete for the top spot, and win amazing rewards. Breathe new life into your server with easy configuration and powerful features!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83e\udd14 Why Choose BenthPinata?<\/p>\n

* **\ud83c\udfc6 High Performance:** Built with modern coding practices and asynchronous operations to ensure the lowest possible impact on your server’s performance.
\n* **\ud83e\udde9 Smart Dependency Handling:** No rigid requirements! BenthPinata uses a smart hologram system. It prioritizes **ProtocolLib** for smooth, packet-based holograms. If not found, it falls back to **DecentHolograms**. If neither is available, the plugin runs perfectly without holograms, ensuring it never breaks your server.
\n* **\ud83d\udd27 Ultimate Flexibility:** Create the event of your dreams by customizing nearly every setting across `config.yml`, `rewards.yml`, and `abilities.yml`.
\n* **\u2705 Active Development:** A project that is consistently updated and values community feedback.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\ude80 Core Features<\/p>\n

* **Unlimited Pi\u00f1ata Types:** Create as many Pi\u00f1ata types as you want, each with different health, locations, and abilities.
\n * `Advanced Mob Support:` Make your Pi\u00f1ata not just a sheep, but a **Zombie, Horse, Llama**, or even a fully custom entity using **NBT tags**!
\n* **Advanced Ability System:** Trigger special abilities as the Pi\u00f1ata’s health drops, such as knocking back nearby players, blinding them, or applying negative potion effects.
\n* **Comprehensive Reward Mechanics:**
\n * **Per-Hit Rewards:** Players can win small, chance-based rewards with every hit.
\n * **Damage Thresholds:** Give guaranteed rewards to players who reach specific damage milestones.
\n * **Final Rewards:** Honor the top damage dealers with incredible prizes when the event ends.
\n* **Dynamic Visual Feedback:**
\n * **Smart Hologram System:** Displays the Pi\u00f1ata’s health dynamically. It uses high-performance, packet-based holograms with **ProtocolLib (recommended)**, falls back to **DecentHolograms**, or works without any hologram dependency.
\n * **Boss Bar:** A built-in Boss Bar provides real-time health tracking for all nearby players.
\n * **Stunning Effects:** Engaging **particle and sound effects** make the event feel alive.
\n* **Automatic Event System:**
\n * Start events automatically at set intervals (e.g., every 2 hours).
\n * Trigger an event when the server’s player count reaches a certain threshold.
\n * Schedule events for specific days and times (e.g., every Friday at 8:00 PM).
\n* **Statistics & Leaderboards:** Track players’ total damage and Pi\u00f1ata kills. Use the `\/pinata stats top` command to list the best players.
\n* **PlaceholderAPI Support:** Display plugin stats and leaderboards in other plugins like scoreboards, menus, and more.
\n* **Easy Management:** Manage events effortlessly with simple, permission-based commands.<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd27 Installation<\/p>\n

1. **Download the Plugin:** Grab the latest `.jar` file from the Releases page.
\n2. **Install Dependencies (Optional but Recommended):**

\n3. **Upload Files:** Place the downloaded `BenthPinata.jar` file (and any dependencies) into your server’s `plugins` folder.
\n4. **Start the Server:** Start your server. The necessary configuration files (`config.yml`, `messages.yml`, etc.) will be automatically generated in the `plugins\/BenthPinata` folder.
\n5. **Configure:** Edit `config.yml` to set your Pi\u00f1ata’s spawn location and other settings. Use the `\/pinata reload` command in-game to apply your changes.<\/p>\n
