This is a simple plugin that allows you to make signs that countdown to a certain time!

Dependencies

This plugin depends on KotKit to provide the Kotlin stdlib.

Usage

Creation

To create a countdown sign, it's /signadd <Unix Timestamp> <line of sign>, while looking at the sign you wish to update.

You can get the Unix Timestamp for any time at https://www.unixtimestamp.com/ - it's essentially a universal way for computers to count and understand time, and circumvents timezones.

The line of the sign, 1-4, is which line of the sign the countdown text will appear on.

Deletion

To stop a countdown sign from trying to update, use /signremove, looking at the sign you want to remove. This will not remove the text from the sign, only stop it from updating in the future - if you wish, you can break the sign once it's removed.

Permissions and commands

Permission setup is simple, there are 3 permissions attached to 3 relevant commands.

countdownsigns.add - default op - allows /signadd to create signs
countdownsigns.remove - default op - allows /signremove to delete signs
countdownsigns.reload - default op - allows /signreload to reload the config

Config

There's only one option in the config, format, which dictates the format for the sign. It supports MiniMessage formatting and has 3 available placeholders, {d}, {h}, {m}, corresponding respectively to days, hours, and minutes left on the countdown.
