CloudVolcano — an improved version of the FunTime volcano (1.16.5+)
Welcome to our new article!
We figure almost everyone has heard of a project like FunTime, and one of the most memorable events there was the volcano. We decided to bring that idea to life our own way and present CloudVolcano!
Without dragging it out, let's go straight to the main features of this great plugin! It's a unique temporary dungeon that helps players get valuable items as fast as possible… or die!
As with many of our plugins, we offer the widest possible customization, so you can change the schematic, the claim size, the chest location, and the time and place the event appears!
The plugin automatically finds the chest inside the schematic, and there is no limit on the number of chests — if your schematic has 4 chests, all of them will work as the volcano and generate loot at the end!
The volcano is a fairly complex event with 3 consecutive phases. By default the interval between phases is 5 minutes, but you can set any interval and any duration in the configuration!
When the volcano first appears, it doesn't generate items for the first 5 minutes: the chest is locked and nothing can be done with it. This time is given so interested players can run to the volcano before it activates.
For the next 5 minutes the volcano actively throws valuable items around itself — in a random amount and a random direction. And which items it erupts is up to you!
As you may have noticed, besides regular items the volcano also throws out yellow heads. One of the unique features of our plugin is a special item, the "Hot Piece". You can see how it works in the video below:
So that players don't grab everything indiscriminately, the volcano can generate "hot pieces" — items that, once in the inventory, apply a slowness effect for 3 seconds and set the player on fire, over and over until they drop the "hot piece"!
In the configuration you can also set the chance of a "hot piece" appearing, the strength of its effects, and add new kinds of embers that will fly out of the volcano!
The last phase is dying down. Once the volcano has erupted everything it can, a chest with very valuable loot opens in the crater. This phase also lasts 5 minutes, after which the schematic, the chest, and all items near it are permanently removed from the world.
As you can see, our plugin is a worthy and in places even more refined alternative to the FunTime volcano plugin, which is now extremely hard to find online! Still, we want to tell you about this plugin's main strengths in case you're still unsure about getting this event:
- Event schedule
In the config you can set the time zone (for example, Moscow time or any other) and the times the volcano appears:
- Loot adding system
Loot in this event is split into 2 categories: items for the eruption and items to generate in the chest. You can add items to the loot.yml configuration manually, specifying all parameters, or add an item with a simple command in Minecraft:
/volcano additem *drop/chest* *chance in %* (holding the required item and its quantity in your hand)
- Temporary region for the event
To protect the volcano from attempts to break it, blow it up, build over it, or damage it in any other way, a temporary claim in a 15x15x15 zone is created when it appears, forbidding block placement and destruction, explosions, and any other actions that could destroy the volcano.
- Configuration:
Here, I think, no extra words are needed — you'll see everything yourself:
That's where the features of our wonder plugin end. As you can see, it has the maximum level of customization, so it will fit the theme of absolutely any server! What's more, since the plugin is supported by the studio, it will soon get new features.
