PlexKillstreaks

A lightweight, configurable killstreak plugin for Minecraft Paper servers.

Track player killstreaks, reward milestone kills, prevent kill farming, and compete on lifetime leaderboards. Built to provide a complete killstreak system without unnecessary complexity.

Features

• Killstreak Tracking - Tracks current streaks and lifetime personal bests.
• Milestone Rewards - Execute configurable commands when players reach certain streaks.
• Announcements & Sounds - Custom messages, sounds, and action bar notifications.
• Anti-Farming - Prevent repeated kills against the same player from unfairly increasing streaks.
• Lifetime Leaderboards — Persistent rankings with offline player support and pagination.
• Streak Progress - Display progress toward the next milestone.
• Disabled Worlds - Exclude selected worlds from killstreak tracking.
• PlaceholderAPI - Eight placeholders for scoreboards, TAB, and other plugins.
• SQLite Storage - Persistent player data with asynchronous database handling.
• Customizable - Configure messages, milestones, rewards, sounds, and other settings.

Commands & Permissions

Command	Description	Permission
/streak	View your killstreak statistics	plexkillstreaks.streak
/streaks	Alias for /streak	plexkillstreaks.streak
/streak top [page]	View lifetime leaderboards	plexkillstreaks.top
/streakreload	Reload the configuration	plexkillstreaks.reload

Configuration

PlexKillstreaks can be customized through config.yml.

Example milestone rewards:

milestones:
  "5":
    enabled: true
    message: "<prefix> <white>{player}</white> <gray>reached a <red>5 kill streak</red>!"
    rewards:
      - "console:give {player} golden_apple 1"

  "10":
    enabled: true
    message: "<prefix> <white>{player}</white> <gray>reached a <red>10 kill streak</red>!"
    rewards:
      - "console:give {player} diamond 3"

Rewards support console and player commands, with {player}, {uuid}, {streak}, and {highest} replacements.

Anti-farming defaults:

anti-farming:
  enabled: true
  window-seconds: 180
  max-counted-kills-per-victim: 2
  notify-killer: true

By default, two kills against the same player count within a three-minute window. Additional kills during that window do not increase the killer's streak.

Other settings include world exclusions, action bar formatting, progress bars, configurable sounds, and MiniMessage messages.

PlaceholderAPI

PlaceholderAPI is optional. PlexKillstreaks automatically registers its placeholders when the integration is available.

Placeholder	Description
%plexkillstreaks_current%	Current killstreak
%plexkillstreaks_highest%	Highest lifetime streak
%plexkillstreaks_next_milestone%	Next milestone
%plexkillstreaks_kills_to_next%	Kills remaining until next milestone
%plexkillstreaks_last_milestone%	Last reached milestone
%plexkillstreaks_progress%	Streak progress bar
%plexkillstreaks_is_active%	Whether a streak is active
%plexkillstreaks_loaded%	Whether player data is loaded
