BoomControl
BoomControl is a lightweight and focused plugin designed specifically for SMP servers that want to limit or nerf Crystal PvP. It offers fine-tuned control over End Crystal and Respawn Anchor explosions to prevent unfair advantages or griefing, while keeping gameplay fun and balanced.


Why BoomControl?
On many SMPs, End Crystals and Respawn Anchors are used in PvP for massive burst damage. BoomControl gives you full control over how these items behave:

• Disable or weaken crystal PvP
• Prevent griefing through explosion block damage
• Make explosions only damage the attacker
• Keep your SMP fun and fair without banning crystals entirely

Features

• ✅ Toggle the plugin globally
• Reload settings on the fly with /boomcontrol reload
• Full control over End Crystal behavior
• Full control over Respawn Anchors
• ❌ Block explosion grief (block breaking & fire)
• Custom denial messages for blocked actions

Crystal Settings
Modes:

• "disabled" – Crystals won't explode at all.
• "self" – Only the player who triggered the explosion takes damage.
• "vanilla" – Default Minecraft behavior.

Respawn Anchor Settings
Perfect for controlling Nether-based PvP or creative mechanics using anchors.

️Command
/boomcontrol reload

Reloads the plugin configuration without restarting the server.
⚠️ Note: The enabled toggle, crystal.enabled and anchor.enabled require a restart.

Custom Messages
Use color codes (&c, &7, etc.) to style your messages.


️ WorldGuard Integration (Optional)
BoomControl integrates with WorldGuard to support region-based control using a custom flag.

boomcontrol Flag
If WorldGuard is installed, BoomControl registers a custom region flag:

boomcontrol

This flag allows you to disable BoomControl in specific regions, even if the plugin is globally enabled.

How It Works

• If the flag is set to DENY in a region, BoomControl will be disabled there completely.
  Explosion behavior in that region will follow normal Minecraft mechanics.
• If the flag is not set or explicitly ALLOW, BoomControl will apply as configured in settings.yml.

Example
To disable BoomControl inside a region:

/rg flag spawn boomcontrol deny
To enable it again:

/rg flag spawn boomcontrol allow
To remove the flag entirely:

/rg flag spawn -r boomcontrol

❗ Default Behavior

• If the flag is not set, BoomControl assumes ALLOW.
• This means BoomControl is active everywhere by default, unless explicitly denied via region flag.

Perfect For

• SMP servers
• Anti-grief setups
• ⚔️ PvP practice worlds with restricted meta
• ️ ️Survival servers with balanced combat

✅ Lightweight & Reliable
No bloat. No complex dependencies. Just simple, effective explosion control.

Make your SMP safer and more balanced with BoomControl.
