Damage Announcements

File: plugins/MythicDropRefactored/announcement.yml

When a boss dies, MythicDrop can announce to all players on the server who dealt the most damage — like a mini leaderboard in chat.

Basic Structure

announcement.yml

1announce-on-death: true

3messages:
4  header: "&aLIST OF PLAYERS WHO HAVE INFLICTED THE MOST DAMAGE ON %BOSSNAME%:"
5  entry: "&e%position%. %player% - %damage% DAMAGE"
6  no-players: "&cNo players contributed damage to the mob."

8announce-specific-mob:
9  SkeletonKing: true
10  CaveSpider: false

Settings

announce-on-death

Global toggle. Set to true to announce when any mob dies, false to disable by default. Individual mobs can override this (see below).

messages

Field	Description
header	The first line of the announcement (shown once)
entry	Repeated once per player in the ranking
no-players	Shown if no players dealt damage to the mob

Variables

Variable	Replaced With
%BOSSNAME%	The MythicMobs internal name of the mob
%position%	The player's rank (1, 2, 3...)
%player%	The player's name
%damage%	Total damage dealt (whole number)

announce-specific-mob

Override the global setting for specific mobs. If a mob is not listed here, the global announce-on-death applies.

yaml

announce-specific-mob:
  SkeletonKing: true     # Always announce, even if global is false
  CaveSpider: false      # Never announce, even if global is true
  AncientDragon: true

How Many Players Are Shown?

Reward System	Players Shown
Top-3 mob	Top 3 players
Top-5 mob	Top 5 players
Custom TopN mob	Top N players
Standard drops (config.yml)	All players who dealt damage

💡 Tip

Disable announcements for common/trash mobs with announce-specific-mob: false to avoid chat spam. Only enable it for important boss mobs.
