EventDirector

EventDirector is a simple, GUI-driven event management plugin for Paper that lets operators set a timer, configure PvP and worldborder behavior tied to that timer, show a custom title on finish, and display a customizable action bar countdown.

What it does

- Creates a configurable event timer that displays a live countdown in the action bar with a custom label, then runs end-of-timer actions like re-enabling PvP, expanding the worldborder, playing a dragon roar, and optionally showing a title. - Provides an in-game GUI to toggle “PvP off until timer ends,” enable worldborder expansion with preset sizes, configure a finish title (color and style), and set a custom action bar label.

Key features

- Timer set and start flow: set with duration, then start separately; live action bar countdown using a customizable label. - PvP control: disable PvP during the timer via GUI, auto-enable on completion, or force on/off globally via command. - Worldborder: default border set via command at the player’s position; optional fast expansion to a preset size on timer completion. - Finish visuals: optional title with color and plain/bold style, plus ender dragon roar sound on completion.

Commands (operator required)

- /EventDirector Timer <duration> Sets the timer duration without starting it; supports formats like 30s, 5m, 1h. - /EventDirector Timer Start Starts the previously set timer and begins the action bar countdown. - /EventDirector Timer Edit Opens the main GUI to configure PvP-off-until-end, worldborder expansion, title options, and custom timer label. - /EventDirector WorldBorder <size> Sets the default worldborder centered at the player; using 500 creates a 500×500 border at that location. - /EventDirector PvP on Enables PvP in all worlds immediately. - /EventDirector PvP off Disables PvP in all worlds immediately.

GUIs (opened via /EventDirector Timer Edit)

- Main menu - PvP Off Till Timer: toggles disabling PvP for the timer’s duration. - WorldBorder Expansion: toggles expansion-on-finish and opens a size selector if enabled. - Title Show: toggles showing a title when the timer ends; enabling adds “Edit Title.” - Edit Title: set color (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan) and font style (plain or bold). - Custom Timer Text: set the label used before the countdown in the action bar (default “Timer”). - Each submenu includes a red glass “Back” button to navigate to the previous menu.

Timer completion behavior

- Re-enables PvP if it was disabled for the timer. - Expands the worldborder to the selected size over a short, configurable duration. - Plays the ender dragon growl for all players and optionally shows a configured title.

Config (minimal)

- worldborder-expansion-duration: 60 Controls how fast the worldborder expands (seconds) after the timer ends.

Notes

- All slash commands require operator status and affect the current server state immediately as described. - Worldborder “default” is set manually via command and is not altered when the timer starts unless expansion-on-finish is enabled.
