This Plugin is the perfect method to count and store kills when playing the Survivalgames or any other pvp-based-maps. The Players can read out their score and the scores of other Players. Additionally, Players can see what the current highscore is, and which Player holds it. A Reward-System can give Players rewards if the Player reaches a specified amount of kills. The Players are able to see the scoreboard and their position in the scoreboard. (The Plugin also counts Bow-Kills).
Version 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the old plugin, including an API, faster algorithms and more efficient data storage.

Rewards system
You can reward players for their kills with items. If you set REWARD_KILLS in the config to 5, players will get the reward every time they reach an amount of kills that (KILLS mod REWARD_KILLS) = 0, that means for example with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 12995 kills.
Set REWARD_KILLS = to 0 or -1 to disable the rewards system

API
You can access the statistics from within another plugin easily. Just include KillCounter to your buildpath and add it as dependency. To access a users Stats-Entry do either Stats.get("playername") or Stats.get(playerobj). These objects hold all neccessary methods for viewing and editing the saved stats-values.
