IOGrindatron

Grindatron minigame in Minecraft, as featured on the (https://www.creeperslab.net/).

Every four hours, a target is generated: for example, 1 x elytra, 2 x snowball, 8 x stone, etc. The players must then gather these materials and place them in an enderchest placed somewhere, ideally at the spawn point of the world. Successfully providing the set item gets them a point!

This means there are six potential targets to complete every day, keeping the players busy. A scoreboard is displayed to show how many targets each logged in player has succesfully accomplished. A limited amount of energy given forces the players to strategize their moves.

To force people to return to the spawn point, regular players aren't allowed to place their own enderchests.

This event is designed to run for multiples consecutive days. Using a full month before a reset is the suggested duration.

# Why is this plugin reliable? I use all of my plugins on my own servers, and I like my plugins to be stable, reliable and low maintenance. Breaks on version upgrades are not expected, but should they happen, they will be quickly fixed.
