AuroraKoth | The Ultimate KOTH Plugin

ChatGPT Image Jun 17, 2026, 10_57_24 PM.png

AuroraKoth
The #1 All-in-One King of the Hill Plugin for Minecraft.
"Zone control, PvP and PvE — all in one event."

❝ Before you buy:
AuroraKoth is written 100% in Kotlin for Paper / Purpur 1.20.4+ (Java 21). The plugin is fully standalone — MythicMobs and PlaceholderAPI are optional, and it runs perfectly without them. Every message, scoreboard, sound and reward is customizable. Need a sample config or technical support? Join our Discord.

AuroraKoth is a next-generation KOTH plugin. Instead of the usual "stand in the zone to capture", you can mix two scoring modes (Score & Capture) with optional PvP and MythicMobs point rewards inside a single event — turning every match into a real PvP/PvE mini-game. Create an event in 60 seconds, select regions with an in-game wand, schedule it automatically by time of day, spawn MythicMobs bosses the moment the event begins, and reward players with command chains for each placement. All packed into one lightweight, fully asynchronous, lag-free plugin.

Features:

Two scoring modes + bonus point sources. Score and Capture decide the hill, while optional Player-Kill and MythicMobs-Kill rewards stack onto the same leaderboard.
Customize every message the way you want. Fully extendable configuration; colors support &, &#RRGGBB and <gradient:#hex:#hex>...</gradient> everywhere.
Minimal performance impact. Everything heavy runs asynchronously; only one event runs at a time, so there are never scoreboard/placeholder conflicts.
Zero hard dependencies. MythicMobs & PlaceholderAPI are optional. /akoth reload never interrupts a running event.

⚔ Scoring Modes
Two core modes decide how the hill is contested. Enable one or both per event:

Score — standing inside the zone grants points on an interval.
Capture — hold the zone long enough to capture it, with contesting & instant-win for classic KOTH.

YAML:

modes:
  score:
    enabled: true
    interval: 5                  # every 5 seconds in the zone...
    points: 1                    # ...grant +1 point

  capture:
    enabled: true
    capture-time: 300            # hold the zone for 5 minutes to capture
    reset-on-leave: true         # leave the zone => lose progress (classic KOTH)
    contested-pause: true        # 2+ players in zone => pause the count (contested)
    instant-win: true            # captured => lock & win when time runs out
    win-points: 500

Bonus point sources
On top of the scoring modes you can reward players for fighting. Both are optional and stack onto the same leaderboard:

Player Kill — award points for killing other players, with anti-farm on the same victim.
MythicMobs Kill — award points for slaying MythicMobs, with per-mob values by Internal Name.

YAML:

modes:
  player-kill:
    enabled: true
    points: 10
    only-in-region: false        # true = only count kills inside the zone
    same-victim-cooldown: 30     # seconds - anti-farm on the same victim

  mythicmobs-kill:
    enabled: true
    default-points: 5
    mobs:                        # per-mob points by Internal Name (set 0 to exclude)
      SkeletalKnight: 20
      Yamato_Boss: 100

Modules

🗺 Multiple regions per event
A single event can have multiple named regions across different worlds, and each region can be restricted to specific modes only — e.g. region A is capture-only while region B is score-only. Set them up in seconds with the in-game wand.

YAML:

regions:
  main:
    world: world
    pos1: "100,60,100"
    pos2: "120,80,120"
  hill2:
    world: world_nether
    pos1: "200,60,200"
    pos2: "220,80,220"
    modes: [capture]             # this region is capture-only

Quick setup: /akoth pos1 → /akoth pos2 → /akoth setregion <event> [region]

MythicMobs integration + Mythic Spawns
Declare bosses/mobs that spawn at exact locations when the event starts and are cleaned up automatically when it ends. Combine with MythicMobs Kill mode so players earn points by slaying bosses inside the arena — turning KOTH into a raid-arena.

YAML:

mythic-spawns:
  remove-on-end: true            # remove living mobs when the event ends
  mobs:
    - mob: SkeletalKnight        # Internal Name in MythicMobs
      location: "world,110,64,110"
      amount: 3
    - mob: Yamato_Boss
      location: "world,110,70,110"
      level: 2

❝ MythicMobs is hooked 100% via reflection (official API, supports both MM 4.x and 5.x). Servers without MythicMobs still run fine — the Mythic mode is simply skipped.

Automatic scheduling
Run KOTH automatically by time of day, in your own timezone — no external scheduler plugin needed.

YAML:

schedules:
  - "DAILY 12:00"
  - "SAT,SUN 20:00"
  - "MON,WED,FRI 19:30"

Supports DAILY and MON…SUN, multiple days separated by commas. Timezone is set in config.yml.

Dedicated scoreboard with gradient/hex colors
The scoreboard turns on automatically when a player joins and restores the old board when the event ends. The red side-numbers are auto-hidden on Paper 1.20.3+. Display by ALL / PARTICIPANTS / IN_REGION, and each event can override its own title & lines.

YAML:

scoreboard:
  enabled: true
  show-to: PARTICIPANTS
  title: "<gradient:#7FDBFF:#B10DC9>AURORA KOTH</gradient>"
  lines:
- "&#FFD700⌛ &fTime left: &#7FDBFF%time_left%"
- "&#FF85A2✦ &fPoints: &#7FDBFF%points% &7(#%position%)"
- "&#FFD700♛ &fCapturing: &#7FDBFF%capper%"
- "&#FFD700① &f%top_name_1% &7- &#7FDBFF%top_points_1%"

Discord webhook
Sends clean embeds when an event starts and ends (including the winner + top 3). Sent asynchronously, never touching the main thread. Each event can use its own webhook.

YAML:

discord:
  enabled: true
  webhook-url: "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
  on-stop:
    embed:
title: "🏆 KOTH %event_name% has ended!"
      description:
- "👑 Winner: **%winner%** (%winner_points% points)"
        - "%top%"
      color: "#FFD700"

Multi-command rewards by placement
Hand out rewards via console command chains for the winner and each top placement, with full player placeholders.

YAML:

win:
  min-points: 1
  commands:
    winner:
      - "give %player% diamond 16"
      - "eco give %player% 50000"
      - "broadcast &#FFD700%player% &fwon the KOTH event!"
    top:
      "2": ["give %player% diamond 8"]
      "3": ["give %player% diamond 4"]

Placeholders: %player% %uuid% %points% %kills% %mob_kills% %event% %event_name%

Full PlaceholderAPI support

Event: active, name, status, time_left, time_left_seconds, time_left_verbose, duration, region, region_players
Capture: capper, capper_time, capture_required
Schedule: next_event, next_time, next_schedule
Personal (viewer): points, kills, mob_kills, position, in_region, wins, region_time, region_time_seconds, region_time_verbose, capture_time, capture_time_seconds, capture_progress
Leaderboard: top_name_1..10, top_points_1..10

Inside the built-in scoreboard/broadcasts you can also use the short form without PAPI: %time_left%, %points%, %capper%, %top_name_1%…
