# Contributing
## Requirements
- Java 25. The Gradle toolchain can download it automatically; `tools/build-plugin.sh` also provisions Temurin 25 under the project Gradle user home.
- A recent Paper server for runtime testing.
- The ScoreKeeper plugin, which is a required runtime dependency.
## Build and Test
From the project root:
```sh
./gradlew test
./gradlew build
```
The distributable plugin JAR is written to `build/libs/`. To use the repository helper, run:
```sh
tools/build-plugin.sh
```
## Local Paper Testing
Set `PAPER_VERSION` and `MINECRAFT_SERVER_PATH` in a local `.env` file at the MobScores project root, or export them in your shell. Set `MINECRAFT_ENV_FILE` if the helper scripts should load a shared environment file instead. Build ScoreKeeper and install it into the server first, then build and deploy MobScores:
```sh
tools/build-plugin.sh
tools/deploy-plugin.sh
```
Start the server with `tools/start-server.sh`. The script downloads a stable Paper build when one is not already present. Review the server log for dependency and plugin-load errors, then test score-table configuration and mob-kill scoring in game. Back up the server before testing against a world with data you care about.
## Configuration
The default resource is `src/main/resources/config.yml`; Paper copies it to `plugins/MobScores/config.yml` on first startup. `ScoreTable` maps Bukkit `EntityType` names to integer point values. To change values on a test server, edit the generated config and restart the server.
## Helper Scripts
- `tools/build-plugin.sh` builds with Java 25.
- `tools/deploy-plugin.sh` copies the latest non-`-all` JAR into `$MINECRAFT_SERVER_PATH/plugins/`.
- `tools/start-server.sh` downloads/resolves and launches Paper using `.env` settings.
- `tools/backup-server.sh` and `tools/restore-server.sh` manage server backups.
- `tools/publish-local.sh` publishes the artifact to Maven Local for dependent plugin builds.

# MobScores
No Commands
MobScores awards ScoreKeeper points for configured mob kills. It is a Paper plugin and requires the ScoreKeeper plugin to be installed and enabled first.
Edit plugins/MobScores/config.yml to set scores per mob.
## Requirements
- Paper 1.21.7 or a compatible newer server.
- Java 25 to build the plugin.
- ScoreKeeper 0.2.2 or the version declared by `build.gradle`.
Install both plugin JARs in the server's `plugins` directory. MobScores declares ScoreKeeper as a hard dependency, so it will not enable without it.
## Score Table
On first startup, MobScores creates `plugins/MobScores/config.yml` with default scores for supported entity types. Edit the `ScoreTable` mapping to change points; keys are Bukkit `EntityType` names and values are integer points:
```yaml
ScoreTable:
ZOMBIE: 25
CREEPER: 50
SILVERFISH: 0
```
Restart the server after editing the configuration. A configured value of `0` suppresses that entity from the score table shown to players when they join.
MobScores has no commands of its own. Current killer attribution is recorded for zombie entities directly damaged by a player; projectile and other mob attribution are not currently handled. Points are awarded through ScoreKeeper's existing player API and follow the player's UUID-backed score.
## Build
Run `./gradlew test` and `./gradlew build` from the project root. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for toolchain, local server, and helper-script details.
