SMPServerStart

🌌 SMPStart SMPStart turns the start of your SMP into a full server event instead of just players spawning in. When you run /smpstart, the server goes through a short cinematic sequence with a countdown, particles, world border changes, and a shared “SMP HAS STARTED” moment for everyone online. ⸻ ⚙ What it does SMPStart is a lightweight but cinematic plugin for Paper servers that handles SMP openings in a more interesting way than just teleporting players into a world. It includes: * ⏱ 10-second start countdown with titles * ✨ Particle effects that scale up during the countdown * 🌍 World border animation (starts small, then expands at launch) * 🚀 Player launch into the sky at start * 🛡 Optional PvP grace period after launch * 📊 Bossbar showing grace time remaining * 🎛 GUI panel for controlling everything in-game ⸻ 🎨 Themes You can change the whole atmosphere of the event using built-in themes: * 🌌 Cosmic * ⛈ Storm * 🔥 Inferno * 🌿 Nature * 🌑 Void * ❄ Frost Each theme changes particles, sounds, and overall feel of the event. ⸻ 🌀 Particle system Instead of random particles, SMPStart uses structured effects like: * spirals * orbit rings * vortex shapes * helix-style effects * expanding shockwaves These get more intense as the countdown reaches zero. ⸻ 🌍 World border Before the SMP starts, the world border is kept tight for effect. When the event hits 0, it expands to full size in a cinematic way. ⸻ 🛡 Grace period After the launch: * ⚔ PvP can be disabled automatically (configurable) * 📊 A bossbar shows remaining grace time * 🔓 After it ends, PvP is enabled again ⸻ 🎛 GUI You can open a control panel with: /smpstart panel From there you can: * start/stop the event * change theme * toggle PvP * adjust timings * configure rewards ⸻ 📜 Commands * /smpstart — start the event * /smpstart stop — cancel it * /smpstart theme <name> — change theme * /smpstart panel — open GUI * /smpstart reload — reload config * /smpspawnset — set center point Permission: smpstart.admin (default: op) ⸻ ⚙ Setup 1.
