BoltCountdown is a lightweight and simple plugin that adds customizable countdown placeholders to your server.
It integrates with PlaceholderAPI, allowing you to display countdown timers anywhere placeholders are supported (scoreboards, TAB, chat, holograms, GUIs, etc.).

Features

• Create multiple daily countdown timers defined in the configuration.
• Each countdown resets automatically every day at the chosen hour and minute.
• Placeholders update in real time.
• Reload configuration with a simple command.
• Optimized for performance: no repeating tasks, calculations are only done when requested.

Usage

• Add your countdown timers in the configuration.
• Use the placeholders %boltcountdown_<name>% in your plugins that support PlaceholderAPI.
• Example output:
  • %boltcountdown_koth1% → 2h 15m 42s
  • %boltcountdown_event% → 0h 5m 23s

Commands

• /boltcountdown reload → Reloads the configuration.

Permissions

• boltcountdown.reload → Allows reloading the plugin. (default: OP)

Compatibility

• Built and tested for Paper/Spigot 1.20.x.
• Should work on 1.17 – 1.20.4 (Java 17 required).
• Not guaranteed for older versions (1.16 or below).
