You can easily see how to config the range of amount or money. If you want it fixed, just use 1 number (without -).

PLAYER:

  • cost: Will it cost the balance of Player for dropping out money?
  • money: You can add "%" at the end for making it dropping % amount of player balance. Of course, you still can use 5-10% for range.
  • The others are the same as mobs

Spoiler: blocks.yml

Code (YAML):

  chance

Spoiler: language.yml

Code (YAML):

"&aYou have received {money}$"

dropOut
: You have dropped
{money
}$

noPermission
: You don't have permission!

noMoney
: You don't have enough money

miniumCmdDrop
: The minimum is

To use color code, you must write the message inside 2 " or ' like in the example.

To disable the message, you just have to leave the message in language.yml blank like

Code (YAML):

pickup
:
""

And that message will not be sent to player anymore.

Spoiler: limit.yml

This file is generated when you enable the limit.

It mostly uses only to store player data.

But you can set the
base time in here to.

In limit.yml, there is a option called 'time'. It's is the base time value in timestamp milisec that the plugin uses to check for the reset. The value is

automatically generated when the server first starts which the limit is enabled. And the plugin will start counting and reseting base on that time value. So if you want a nice base time such as mid-day or the end of the day, you have to
stop the server, then go to

http://www.epochconverter.com/ to get a timestamp of that time and set the 'time' to it. So the plugin will use that new time.
