HeadHunting - Head Hunting system v1.13.0

HeadHunting is a fully fledged mob head hunting and progression system.
HeadHunting 2.0 - Tracking & Bounty Update 🎯



What's New

📊 Enhanced Mob Kill Tracking
  • Universal Tracking: The %headhunt2_mobs_killed% placeholder now tracks ALL mob kills!
    • ✅ Naturally spawned mobs
    • ✅ Spawner mobs (from ANY player's spawner, not just yours)
    • ✅ Spawned-in mobs (eggs, commands, etc.)
    • ✅ Even locked mob types are tracked (rewards still require unlock)
  • Perfect for leaderboards, quests, and player stats!



💰 Bounty System Improvements
  • Smart Currency Display: Bounty messages now show the correct currency format
    • "500 Souls" instead of "$500" for custom currencies
    • Proper formatting for all supported currencies (Vault, PlayerPoints, TokenManager, custom)
  • Bounty Head Lore: When you kill a player with a bounty, their head shows all active bounties!
    Code:
    Active Bounties:
      • 500.00 Money
      • 100 Souls
  • Broadcast Control: Toggle bounty placement/claim announcements in config.yml



🛠️ Fixes
  • Fixed mob kill tracking to work for ALL spawner kills (any player can trigger)
  • Improved bounty currency formatting throughout the plugin
  • Better multi-currency bounty support



Updating from previous versions:
  1. Backup your HeadHunting2 folder
  2. Replace the HeadHunting2.jar with the new version
  3. Optional: Update 4 lines in messages/messages_en.yml for bounty currency formatting (see walkthrough)
  4. Restart your server

No database changes required — fully backward compatible!
We've given HeadHunting 2.0 a massive facelift and added some highly requested features! This update brings a fresh new look, expanded contract options, and better tracking capabilities.




🎨 New Visual Style
The entire plugin has been re-styled with a modern, high-contrast theme:

  • Vibrant Palette: Featuring Hot Pink (#FB5490), Gold (#FFD700), and Emerald Green (#2ECC71).
  • Clean GUIs: All menus have been updated with consistent formatting, better readability, and a sleek dark mode aesthetic.
  • Polished Messages: Chat messages now use the new color scheme for a premium feel.




📜 Expanded Contracts System

  • Custom Icons: Contracts can now have custom display icons defined in contracts.yml (e.g., NETHER_STAR for boss missions).
  • New Missions: Added new Daily and Weekly contracts, including:
    • 🧙‍♀️ Witch Hunt: Kill witches.
    • 🐡 Guardian Slayer: Hunt guardians.
    • ⚔️ Raid Captain: Defeat raid mobs.




📊 New Tracking & Placeholders

  • Mob Kill Tracking: The plugin now tracks your total mob kills and kills per mob type.
  • New Placeholders: Show off your stats with PlaceholderAPI!
    • %headhunt2_mobs_killed%: Total mobs killed.
    • %headhunt2_mobs_killed_<mob>%: Kills for a specific mob (e.g., %headhunt2_mobs_killed_zombie%).




🛠️ Fixes & Improvements

  • Mission Progress: Fixed an issue where "kill any mob" or "sell any head" objectives weren't tracking correctly.
  • Database Schema: Optimized database tables for better performance and new stat tracking.
  • Stability: General code cleanup and stability improvements.




⚠️ Updating from previous versions
IMPORTANT: This update includes major changes to GUIs and messages.

  1. Backup your existing HeadHunting2 folder.
  2. Delete the guis/ folder and messages/ folder to generate the new visual style.
  3. Delete contracts.yml if you want the new default missions.
  4. Replace the HeadHunting2.jar with the new version.
  5. Start your server.
Changelog:
  • Fixed PlaceholderAPI Support: Resolved an issue where placeholders using the %headhunting_%
    prefix (like %headhunting_heads_sold%
    ) were not parsing correctly.
  • Expanded Identifier Support: You can now use both %headhunting_%
    AND %headhunt2_%
    identifiers for all placeholders.
  • Backward Compatibility: Full support for the legacy headhunt2
    identifier has been retained, so you don't need to change your existing configurations!
Updated Placeholders:

  • %headhunting_level%
    / %headhunt2_level%
  • %headhunting_xp%
    / %headhunt2_xp%
  • %headhunting_next_xp%
    / %headhunt2_next_xp%
  • %headhunting_heads_sold%
    / %headhunt2_heads_sold%
  • %headhunting_title%
    / %headhunt2_title%
  • %headhunting_currency_<id>%
    / %headhunt2_currency_<id>%
