⚙️ Sample config snippet (config.yml)

Installation

Install Vault and a Vault-compatible economy plugin (EssentialsX, iConomy, etc.).

Place flyingBounties.jar into your server’s plugins/ folder.

Start the server once — plugin will generate: config.yml, menu.yml, langs/ (en.yml, pl.yml) and bounties.yml. ⚙️

Edit config.yml, menu.yml and langs/*.yml to taste. Use /playerbounty reload to reload language/config without restarting.


❓ FAQ & Notes
• Do funds return when a bounty expires? — Yes. Expired bounties are refunded to the issuer (support for offline issuers included).
• Does it require Vault? — Yes, Vault is required for proper economy integration and payouts/refunds.
• Can I create a bounty on offline players? — Yes, plugin stores UUID and will match victims by UUID.
• How does stacking work? — When Bounty.Stacked is true, a single kill will claim all active bounties on the target and pay the total reward to the killer. When false, only the oldest bounty is claimed per kill.
• Multilang support — Put/edit translations in langs/en.yml or langs/pl.yml. The plugin loads the locale from config.yml -> settings.locale.
