⚡ EventPulse
Seven event types run themselves on a random timer, with a live scoreboard and automatic rewards.
By zArrowTan, part of Arrow Plugins.

📋 Overview

EventPulse runs automatic server wide mini competitions. Every so often the plugin picks an event, announces it, tracks what players do for a set duration, then announces the winners and hands out the rewards.

The point of it is to make normal server activity feel like a competition. Your players are already mining, farming, fishing and fighting mobs, and the plugin measures that activity for a short window and rewards whoever did it best. Names, durations, what counts, how much each thing is worth, messages, rewards and scoreboard lines are all config, and nothing is required to run it.

The event scoreboard: island leaderboard, your rank and score, and the time left

Screenshots are from a French server. English, French and Spanish all ship with the plugin.

🧩 Dependencies

No required dependencies. EventPulse runs on its own, drop it in and go. A few optional plugins each unlock more of what it can do:

PlaceholderAPI (optional) exposes the eventpulse placeholders for your scoreboard, tab or holograms. Get it here
Vault (optional) plus an economy plugin, for paying event rewards as money. Get it here
SuperiorSkyblock2, BentoBox or IridiumSkyblock (optional) any one of them enables team mode, where every member of an island adds to one score

⏱ Events That Run Themselves

Set a shortest and a longest wait and leave it alone. The plugin picks an event at a random interval between the two, announces it, runs it, and starts counting down to the next one.

It never repeats itself straight away. The last few events that ran are skipped in the next pick, and that memory survives a restart
Only the running event is being counted. Listeners sit idle the rest of the time, so nothing is measuring your server between events
Staff can step in at any point to force an event, end one early with or without paying out, skip the wait, or change the duration of a running event on the fly

🏆 Seven Event Types

Type	What it counts
`MINING`	Blocks broken, with a point value per material
`FARMING`	Crops harvested, age based crops only when fully grown
`LOGGING`	Logs broken, every wood type
`FISHING`	Fish caught, with a list of allowed catches
`ENCHANTING`	Items enchanted at the table and at the anvil
`COMBAT`	Damage dealt to hostile mobs, after armour and trimmed for overkill
`FARMPOINTS`	Everything above, converted to one shared score

Every type is a list you curate. Which materials count, which catches count, and what each one is worth are yours to set in events.yml, and farmpoints.yml holds what every action is worth once they all share a score.

📊 A Scoreboard for the Event

While an event runs, a scoreboard shows on the right with the event, the time left and the standings, as in the shot at the top. It goes on top of whatever board the player already had, and the old one is put back the moment the event ends, so it never fights with your existing scoreboard plugin.

The layout is yours in scoreboard.yml, with a separate solo and team version, and any player who would rather not see it can turn it off for themselves.

🤝 Team Mode

Any event can run in team mode, where everything each member of an island does adds to one score and the whole team places together. It reads your existing island plugin, so no separate team setup is needed: SuperiorSkyblock2, BentoBox and IridiumSkyblock are all supported, and staff can force a specific event to run solo or team.

🎁 Rewards That Land

When the timer runs out the winners are announced and paid automatically. Anything owed to a winner who is offline is parked until they next join, and they claim it with a command, so nobody misses a payout for logging off at the wrong moment.

Wins, participations and lifetime FarmPoints are kept for every player, with a leaderboard that can be read overall or for one event on its own.

⌨️ Commands

Main command /eventpulse (aliases /event, /events, /ep).

Players

/eventpulse show the current event, or the time until the next one
/eventpulse next time until the next event
/eventpulse top [id] lifetime leaderboard, overall or for one event
/eventpulse stats [player] wins, participations and FarmPoints
/eventpulse toggle turn the scoreboard on or off for yourself
/eventpulse claim claim pending rewards

Admin

/eventpulse start <id> [solo|team] [force] force start an event
/eventpulse stop [rewards|norewards] end the running event, with or without paying out
/eventpulse skip cancel the current wait and start a fresh random event
/eventpulse time <add|remove|set> <duration> change the duration of the running event live
/eventpulse list list every event and whether it is enabled
/eventpulse reload reload all config and language files

If another plugin already registers one of the aliases, whichever loads first takes the plain name and this one stays reachable as /eventpulse:event.

🔐 Permissions

eventpulse.use every player command above (default: everyone)
eventpulse.admin every admin command above (default: op)
eventpulse.bypass nothing this player does is ever counted, meant for staff in creative
eventpulse.notify receives the start and end broadcasts (default: on)

🔗 Placeholders

Identifier eventpulse.

Code

%eventpulse_active%           %eventpulse_name%
%eventpulse_action%           %eventpulse_time_left%
%eventpulse_next_in%          %eventpulse_score%
%eventpulse_position%         %eventpulse_team_score%
%eventpulse_team_position%    %eventpulse_wins%
%eventpulse_farmpoints%

%eventpulse_top_<1-10>_name%  %eventpulse_top_<1-10>_score%

The same names in their short form work inside scoreboard lines and messages with no PlaceholderAPI installed at all.

🎛 Fully Configurable

File	What is in it
`config.yml`	Language, storage, scheduler, team mode, defaults, logging and sounds
`events.yml`	Every event, what it counts and what it pays
`farmpoints.yml`	What every action is worth in FarmPoints
`scoreboard.yml`	The board, both the solo and the team layout
`lang/en.yml`	Every message, with `fr.yml` and `es.yml` alongside it

config.yml, scoreboard.yml and the language files update themselves on an upgrade. New keys are added while your values and your own comments are left alone. events.yml and farmpoints.yml are lists you curate, so nothing you delete there ever comes back.

🧪 Requirements

Minecraft: 1.21 or newer, including the 26.x line
Server software: Spigot or any fork of it, Paper included. No Paper only APIs are used
Java: 21 on the 1.21 line, 25 on the 26.x line
Storage: the database drivers are downloaded by the server itself on first start, so the jar stays small and nothing is shaded that should not be
Languages: English, French and Spanish bundled, plus your own files

One thing only Paper can do: hiding the red numbers down the right hand side of the scoreboard needs the score format added in 1.20.3, and Paper is the only one that puts it on the API. On plain Spigot the numbers stay and the plugin says so once in the console. Everything else works the same on both.
