Halloween Plugin v3.4.0 - Admin Toolkit, Statistics & Candy

The biggest update since 3.0 - everything optional, defaults keep your current behaviour

Season scheduler
Halloween turns itself on when your season starts and off when it ends (season.start / end, MM-DD). Players joining shortly before see a countdown. Manual /halloween on|off still works.

⚡ /halloween trigger
Fire any event on demand: /halloween trigger <pumpkin|slenderman|fire|lightning|darkness|herobrine|zombieboss|skeletonboss|batwitch> [player|@a]. Great for events, streams and testing.

Witching hour
A daily window (real or in-game time) where scares come twice as often, with announcements and ambient horror sounds.

Statistics & leaderboards
/halloween stats, /halloween top <stat> - scares survived, Halloween mobs killed, bosses defeated, graves completed, candy earned... You decide which stats players may see. PlaceholderAPI expansion %halloween_<stat>%, %halloween_top_<stat>_<n>_name%. Season-end top 3 announced in game and on Discord.

Discord webhook
Boss spawns and kills, grave completions, season start/end and the leaderboard posted to your Discord channel.

❤️ Boss bars & titles
Health bars for both bosses, a wave bar for grave events (Wave 2/3 · 5 mobs left · 1:30) and titles for boss spawns, wave starts and grave completion.

WorldGuard flag
/rg flag <region> halloween-events deny - no scares, bosses, graves or traders in your spawn or market.

Rewards: command, money, candy
Every rewards list accepts - command: "give %player% ...", - money: 100 (Vault) and - candy: 5 next to items. chance now works for boss rewards too (it was ignored).

Halloween Candy & configurable Pumpkin Trader
Candy drops from Halloween mobs, bosses and graves and is spent at the Pumpkin Trader, whose trades you now configure yourself (cost / result / max_uses, item: CANDY). Defaults keep the classic emerald ↔ pumpkins trades; existing traders pick the new offers up automatically.

⚰️ Grave polish & fixes
✅ The reward chest glows until someone opens it - no more hunting for the loot
✅ Completion is measured over all waves (a timed-out wave now lowers the reward instead of reporting 100%)
✅ The "30 seconds remaining" warning no longer fires during the next wave
✅ /halloween reset cooldowns [player] clears boss & grave cooldowns; /halloween debug eligible [player] shows why a player does (not) get events


Requirements: Spigot / Paper / Purpur 1.21.3+ (incl. 26.1 / 26.2; 26.3 expected to work), Java 21+. Vault, PlaceholderAPI and WorldGuard are optional.
Upgrade: drop-in for v3.0.5+ - new config sections and 45 new message categories are added automatically; nothing you customised changes.
