# ⚡ DeathBolt
A lightweight Spigot plugin that strikes **lightning** at the location of a player’s death.
When a player dies, a bolt of divine punishment (or comedic timing) strikes their last known location. By default, it **destroys your loot**, as God didn't really like how
you looked at that blade of grass.
### 🧪 Version Compatibility
**Tested Minecraft Versions:**
```
1.16.5 → 1.21.5
```
✅ Compatible with **Spigot**, **Paper**, and other Spigot-based forks.
---
## 🔧 Configuration
You can fine-tune the plugin's behavior in `config.yml`:
```yaml
# --- DO NOT TOUCH THIS ----------------
config-version: 1
# --------------------------------------
# Whether DeathBolt should activate at all on player death
# Set false to completely disable the lightning effect
enabled: true
# If true, lightning will destroy any dropped items at the death location on impact
# Set false to keep dropped items intact
destroy_items: true
# Chance (in percent) that lightning will strike on player death
# Use any value from 0 to 100 (e.g., 50 = 50% chance)
# Any invalid number will default to 0% or 100%
strike_chance: 100
# Delay before lightning strikes after player death (in ticks)
# 20 ticks = 1 second (so 40 = 2 seconds)
# Any negative number will be set to 0
strike_delay: 10
```
---
## 🛠 Example Setups
* **Default Configuration**
```yaml
destroy_items: true
strike_chance: 100
strike_delay: 10
```
* Has a funny comedic pause before the lightning strike.
* **PVP Configuration**
```yaml
destroy_items: false
strike_chance: 100
strike_delay: 0
```
* Keeps items for loot.
* Instant strike makes it more satisfying for PVP.
* **Gambler's Mindset**
```yaml
destroy_items: true
strike_chance: 50
strike_delay: 10
```
* 50-50 YOU WON'T.
