Clumps

Latest Version: 2.3

Description

Clumps is a Bukkit plugin designed to enhance the experience of collecting XP orbs in Minecraft by merging nearby XP orbs and instantly absorbing them when players are nearby. This functionality reduces lag and ensures a smoother gameplay experience. The plugin also introduces customizable world-specific settings, XP boosts, and particle effects for a more immersive experience.

Features

• XP Orb Merging: Automatically merges nearby XP orbs within a configurable radius to minimize the number of entities.
• Instant Absorption: XP orbs are absorbed directly into the player's XP bar upon proximity, eliminating the delay typically associated with collecting orbs.
• Customizable Settings: Configure the merging radius, minimum XP required for merging, merging interval, and instant collection radius through a user-friendly configuration file.
• XP Boost: Players near merging XP orbs now receive an XP boost, increasing their total XP gain.
• Merge Animations: Enable particle effects when XP orbs merge for a more visually appealing experience.
• World-Specific Settings: Customize XP orb behaviors for different worlds (e.g., Overworld, Nether, etc.) with individual settings for radius, merging frequency, and other parameters.
• Prevent Orb Duplication: Prevents the duplication of XP orbs in high-density areas to reduce server lag.
