DynamicArrows

After seeing that MoArrows hadn't updated in a while and MagicArrows had stopped updating all together, I decided to take a stab at replacing them both in one, neat package (NOTE: I didn't use ANY of their code, I was simply inspired by their ideas). Introducing DynamicArrows, a plugin that gives every player a quiver of special arrows and enchantments to use.

Features

• Each player is given a "quiver" that holds special arrows and arrow enchantments
• Quivers can have a maximum amount of arrows (for realism's sake)
• Each arrow/enchantment type can be enabled/disabled, given a cool-down, made infinite (so players don't have to purchase them to use them), and given a maximum amount that each player can have.
• Cycling through arrows is as simple as punching with a bow in hand or punching with an arrow in hand (to cycle through enchantments).
• Arrows/enchantments that a player doesn't have, that a player can't use, or that are cooling down won't show up when cycling, so you won't spend time trying to fire arrows you don't have or can't use.
• (Currently) 8 arrow types and 7 enchantment types.
• Use is extremely simple, players only have one optional command to check their quivers and admins set up shops simply by formatting a sign correctly.
• Quick and straight-forward config.yml for easy setup.
• Separate permissions nodes for enchantments and arrows (good for classes and ranks).

Types

Arrow

• Stinger – Poison your enemy for a few seconds.
• Bolt – Strikes a lightning bolt where the arrow lands.
• Blast – Creates an explosion where the arrow lands.
• Piercing – If a player is wearing armor, this arrow deals double damage.
• Barbed – If a player is not wearing armor, this arrow deals double damage.
• Blaze – Fires a flaming arrow that lights enemies on hit.
• Slowing – Slow your enemy for a few seconds.
• Heavy – Stun your enemy on hit (blindness and confusion)
• Trap – Generate a small net of webs where the arrow lands that disappears after a few seconds.

Enchantments

• Healing – Heals 5 hearts on hit.
• Harming – Inflicts harming for a few seconds.
• Freeze – Traps an enemy in (breakable) ice blocks, which disappear after a few seconds.
• Pull – Teleports your enemy to you.
• Transfusion – Deals and steals two hearts of damage.
• Splash – Creates water at the landing point that disappears after a few seconds.
• Barrage – Drops 30 arrows from the sky surrounding the landing point.
