Celeste is a simple plugin that adds shooting stars to your Minecraft server. Inspired by the shooting stars from Animal Crossing and the falling stars from Breath of the Wild, this plugin brings some celestial ambience to your Minecraft world.

Features

Add shooting stars to the night sky, with configurable frequency
Find rare falling stars that deliver precious materials in a sparkling package
Watch meteor showers that occur every new moon, increasing the rate of shooting and falling stars

In-Depth Functionality

Shooting stars and falling stars spawn on on any world that meets the following conditions:

Must have players in the world currently
Must be nighttime (between 13000 and 23000 in game time)
Must be clear weather (no rain or snow)
Will not spawn in the nether or end

Configuration

Installation is as simple as copying the newest build jar to your plugins folder. A configuration file is not added by default, but can be easily created by making a "Celeste" directory in your plugins folder and creating a "config.yml" within that directory. It is not necessary (nor recommended) to copy everything from the default config shown below, instead copy only the lines you wish to change.

Defaults

# The number of shooting stars to create per minute for each world
shooting-stars-per-minute: 6
# Whether to create falling stars or not

Falling Star Loot

Falling stars drop loot wherever they fall, and spark for 10 seconds (200 ticks) by default to show their location. The loot they drop is randomly selected from the loot table in the config, with each material being given a weight. For instance, in the default config, there is a 60% chance for a diamond, 20% of an emerald, and 20% chance of a fire_charge. Experience also drops from falling stars, 100 points (not levels) by default.

To define your own loot tables, add the falling-stars-loot attribute to your config (remember, you will have to create the plugin config if you haven't already done so) and list each item you want as well as the probability for it to appear. The names of the items must be from the list provided here. Remember to only add materials available in your server version.

Commands

Just one! /star creates a falling star near the person who summons it, which can be useful for testing purposes.
