Halloween Candy Event v1.1

v1.1 — Ghosts FX (particles + sound) & polish

New

• Ghosts visual FX when Candy drops from blocks (optional on open).
• Fully configurable: particle, count/spread, sound (enum or namespaced), Y offset, and optional floating text label.
• Safe defaults; toggle per feature.

Config (paste into config.yml)

Spoiler: Show YAML

Code:

ghosts:
  enabled_on_drop: true          # show when Candy drops from a block
  enabled_on_open: true          # show when Candy is opened (right-click)
  particle: SOUL                 # e.g., SOUL, SOUL_FIRE_FLAME, WITCH, ENCHANTMENT_TABLE
  particles: 10                  # number of particles
  spread: 0.2                    # XYZ spread
  extra: 0.01                    # particle "speed"/extra
  y_offset: 0.5                  # raise effect above block/player
  sound:
    key: "ENTITY_WITCH_CELEBRATE"  # enum or namespaced key
    volume: 0.6
    pitch: 1.4
  text:
    enabled: true               # floating label (TextDisplay)
    value: "&dBoo!"
    lifetime_ticks: 40          # 20 ticks = 1 second

How to use

1. Update the JAR → restart or /halloween reload.
2. Adjust ghosts.* in plugins/Halloween/config.yml.
3. Test by mining a whitelisted block; FX and sound should trigger on Candy drop.

Notes

• Paper 1.21.x, Java 21.
• Try sounds like ENTITY_VEX_AMBIENT or namespaced minecraft:entity.witch.celebrate if unsure.
• Disable the label via ghosts.text.enabled: false to keep only particles/sound.

Compatibility

• No breaking changes to commands or loot.
• Existing configs still work; ghosts is optional.
