Installation

1. Install the required plugins first

dBloodMoney depends on these being present in your plugins/ folder:

1. DzusillCore (DzusillCore-1.1.0.jar)
2. Vault
3. An economy plugin (e.g. EssentialsX)

⚠️ Order matters. dBloodMoney depends on DzusillCore. If DzusillCore is missing, dBloodMoney is disabled at startup with an “unknown/invalid plugin DzusillCore” error.

2. Drop in dBloodMoney

Copy one edition into plugins/:

plugins/
├── DzusillCore-1.1.0.jar
├── Vault.jar
├── EssentialsX-x.x.x.jar
└── dBloodMoney-PRO.jar      ← or dBloodMoney.jar for the free edition

3. Start the server

Start (or restart) the server. On enable you’ll see the banner:

  dBloodMoney v1.0.0 (PRO)
  Powered by DzusillCore

The (PRO) / (FREE) tag confirms which edition loaded. The PRO edition also logs:

[dBloodMoney] PRO edition detected — bounty, leaderboards and kill streak enabled.

4. Verify it works

Run /dbm info in-game or console:

[dBloodMoney] dBloodMoney v1.0.0 (PRO)

Then give two test players some money and have one kill the other — the killer should receive a reward message.

Hot-loading without a restart

If you use PlugManX (or similar), you can load without restarting — DzusillCore first:

/plugman load DzusillCore
/plugman load dBloodMoney

Some framework internals register at startup; if anything behaves oddly after a hot-load, do a full restart.

Configuration files

On first run dBloodMoney generates everything under plugins/dBloodMoney/:

File	Purpose
config.yml	All settings — see config.yml.
messages.yml	Every message, in MiniMessage — see messages.yml.
database.yml	Optional MySQL/PostgreSQL storage (PRO) — see database.yml.
stats.yml	PRO flat-file leaderboard data (auto-managed).
bounties.yml	PRO flat-file bounty data (auto-managed).
