RocketRaid is a simple and powerful plugin that turns fireworks into explosive RPGs when fired from a crossbow. Designed for PvP and raid-heavy servers, RocketRaid adds a fun and strategic twist by allowing players to craft or receive special “Rocket” fireworks that explode like TNT on impact.

Compatible with Spigot 1.21 and up

v1.0.0: Initial release with core functionality

How it Works

Players can craft or receive a firework named “Rocket.” When this Rocket is fired from a crossbow, it creates a TNT-style explosion on impact. Only fireworks with the exact name "Rocket" will trigger the effect, keeping your gameplay controlled and balanced.

Crafting

Players can craft a Rocket using a shapeless recipe:

• 1x Gunpowder
• 1x Paper
• 1x Fire Charge

These ingredients can be placed in any arrangement in the crafting grid. The result will be a custom firework rocket named "Rocket" that can be loaded into a crossbow and fired for an explosive effect.

Features

• Explosive firework rockets when fired from crossbows
• Shapeless crafting recipe using 1 Gunpowder, 1 Paper, and 1 Fire Charge
• Command to give Rockets directly to players
• Only named Rockets explode to prevent misuse
