Halloween Plugin
An advanced seasonal plugin that transforms your Minecraft server into a cinematic Halloween experience​

Developed by Softici s.r.o.

Overview
The Halloween Plugin adds a complete suite of atmospheric events, encounters, and visual effects to bring authentic Halloween immersion to your server.
It includes random scare events, boss fights, a dramatic grave system, ambient sounds, and custom pumpkin buffs — all fully configurable and optimized for performance.

This plugin is designed for both small community servers and large networks seeking an event‑ready, stable Halloween system with minimal setup.

Core Systems
  • Scare Events – Randomly trigger harmless but atmospheric effects such as lightning, darkness, fire flashes, Slenderman encounters, and Herobrine appearances.
  • Boss Battles – Summonable Pumpkin Zombie and Skeleton bosses with multiple combat phases, minion spawns, and configurable rewards.
  • Grave System – Build player graves to summon undead armies through an animated ritual sequence, complete with wave progression and treasure rewards.
  • Pumpkin Buffs – Wearing a carved pumpkin grants temporary configurable potion effects with optional glowing visuals.
  • Sound System – Play from sixteen curated horror sounds directly via commands for custom events or ambience.
  • Bat Transformation Event – Bats can transform into witches with enhanced health, potion drops, and pumpkin rewards.
  • Player Management – Each player can enable or disable personal Halloween participation, ensuring event flexibility across servers.

Key Features
  • Modular event control: enable or disable any system individually.
  • Automatic configuration migration from earlier versions.
  • Smart XP scaling for fair progression rewards.
  • Optimized entity management and cleanup utilities.
  • Cinematic animations for graves and boss spawns.
  • Fully localized messages in a separate messages.yml file.
  • No external dependencies required.
