Highway Man
This is a small plugin I've been developing for a couple of days. It sits as a wrapper of sorts on top of the Citizens API. As such, Citizens is a dependency.
The Highway Man is a hostile human NPC that will spawn near players, but still out-of-sight. They roam the countryside randomly, until they find a potential target.
Default plugin config file; Not necessary as this is auto-generated.
Installation:
- Put Citizens jar into plugins folder
- Put Highway Man jar into plugins folder
- Restart/Reload Server
Some Technical Info:
- The Highway Man will target any Player or hostile mob near it.
- The Highway Man will despawn after 2 minutes without any contact.
- The Highway Man will spawn with random gear (with random durabilities).
- The Highway Man can use bows as well as swords. If they run out of arrows, they will try to punch you.
- The Highway Man has a chance of spawning with some certain rare items (music discs, Chainmail armor, Golden Apples, etc). In the future this will be configurable.

Posted Mar 24, 2020I love the concept of this plugin, but my players and I have run into some small bugs and annoyances.
Issues (Starting from most severe):
- Occasionally the highwaymen will spawn invisible and unable to be attacked.
- Very rarely, they continue to attack when dead (probably related to the previous issue) with no way to stop them.
- Highwaymen try to bumrush creepers and end up exploding a lot of terrain around AFK players.
- "Highwayman was slain by (monster)" tends to spam up the chat at night with no way to turn it off.
- The nameplates of highwaymen make them highly visible through walls, spoiling their intended element of surprise.
- Highwaymen overall are very fragile, 2-3 hits with only an iron sword even if they're armored up and freshly spawned.
Suggestions:
- Allow the nameplates and death notifications to be toggled on/off.
- Make highwaymen flee from creepers.
- Increase (or make configurable) the amount of health highwaymen can have.
- Allow highwaymen to use shields and circle-strafe around players when attacking (like creepers).

Posted Apr 13, 2019Hey dev, been using the plugin in my server and it works great. People seem to enjoy it a lot as well as it adds more diversity without having much server impact. Thank you!
