Hi, I am bringing you a few interesting tips, how to take the most from my plugins during Christmas.

Here is the first ones!

- Did you know you can give special gift to player, if he opens all windows in advent calendar? That's perfect way how to reward and motivate players, who were active during all season, isn't it?

To use this stuff, don't forget to enable benefit at Options.yml and assign rewards.

- Interested in this amazing style of Advent Calendar?

[​IMG]
Configuration of Calendar.yml:
To use Yellow presents as opened windows edit GUI.yml (AdventCalendarGUI -> Window -> Openable -> SkullData)

Code (YAML):
Openable:
  SkullData
: eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvYjZhY2ZjNjQzZjYwOGUxNmRlMTkzMzVkZGNhNzFhODI4ZGZiOGRhY2E1NzkzZWI1YmJjYjBjN2QxNTU5MjQ5In19fQ==
Also you need to change OrderType from RANDOM to STATIC. Options.yml (GUI -> Base -> AdventCalendarGUI -> Window -> OrderType)
Code (YAML):
Window:
  OrderType
: STATIC

Ho ho ho, who's back? Yeah, it's me with a brand new version of your favourite plug-in AdventSeason!

What’s new and improved?
  • I have decided to separate modules into separated plugins which opens new ways how to expand this mission of Advent Season. It allows me to create new plugins even faster and reliable.
    • So I have created AdventCore, which handles all common piece of code, GUIs, Centralised Rewarding and Storage System
    • This Advent Season contains 5 products, the same count as last year
  • All modules have been almost finished last year, there are quite difficulty to find new features which to implement. BUT I found something and I hope you will appreciate them.
  • All
    • Added ability to see remaining time before season starts.
    • Everything is configurable in-game using GUI system. That's a huge step away.
    • Ability to claim more Rewards at once
    • Configurable particles at Figures
  • Calendar
    • Removed some types how to claim rewards, for now only QUICK_ALL, QUICK_CHANCE and LUCKY_WHEEL remains.
    • Each window has own custom Icon
    • Each window has assigned slot in the GUI
    • Added permission of Benevolent claiming windows.
  • Christmas Mail
    • Ability to change gift sent to the player. Previous gift will be returned to player's inventory
  • Saint Nicholas
    • Configurable list of items which figure consumes. Previously only boots were allowed.
  • Melody Player
    • Carols module has the biggest change! It was renamed to MelodyPlayer, which allows to play different playlist at different locations. It was more years requested feature, so here it is, enjoy ;)
  • BugFixes and lots of improvements
IMPORTANT
  • Due to upload limit, each plugin contains only 4 versions(1.8.8, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20)
  • If you are running other version, please join a discord and create ticket, I have prepared files for all branches.
In following days, I will update WIKI and add here configurations, stay tuned.
If someone has a time, please try these plugins as much as possible before the December to ensure everything works correctly, thank you :)

Hi, I am bringing you a few interesting tips, how to take the most from my plugin during Christmas.

Here is the first one!

Did you know you can give reward to player, when he opens all windows in advent calendar? That's perfect way how to reward and motivate players, who were active during all season, isn't it?

To use this stuff, don't forget to enable benefit at Options.yml and set rewards.

A full version will be available probably on the 30th of November. (Beta version is fully functional, too)
