  # Reward sources for entities.

    player: 3
    zombie: 1
    iron_golem: 2
    # fire_dragon: 5  #Example MythicMobs entity reward source

  level-multipliers:
    1: 1.0
    2: 1.5
    3: 2.0
    4: 2.5
    5: 3.0

  # Multipliers applied based on LuckPerms primary group.
  # Example: vip group multiplies the reward by 2.5.

    default: 1.0
    vip: 2.5
    vip_plus: 3

  #Reward commands
  #Available placeholders are: %player% -> return player username, %amount% -> return reward amount in decimal.
  #Add as many as you want !
  reward-command:
    - 'eco give %player% %amount%'

messages:
  # Message sent to the killer when they receive coins.
  # Placeholders:
  #   %amount% = final reward amount
  #   %stars%  = star display for Wanted level
  #   %group%  = LuckPerms group name
  kill-reward: "&aYou earned %amount% coins thanks to your Wanted level (%stars%) and your group (%group%)!"

  # Message sent when the config is reloaded with /wantedreload.
  reload: "&aConfig reloaded successfully."

📜 Commands

• /wantedreload → reloads the configuration (config.yml)
  • Permission: wanted.reload

🪧 Placeholders (via PlaceholderAPI)

1.0 and 1.1

• %wanted_level% → current Wanted level (1–5)
• %wanted_stars% → star display (★/☆)
• %wanted_multiplier% → total multiplier (Wanted × group)

1.1.1+

• %wantedplayers_level% → current Wanted level (1–5)
• %wantedplayers_stars% → star display (★/☆)
• %wantedplayers_multiplier% → total multiplier (Wanted × group)

🎮 How it works

1. Each kill increases your killstreak (via PvPStats Plugin).
2. Your Wanted level is calculated based on thresholds.
3. On each kill, you receive a random reward (min–max) × Wanted multiplier × group multiplier.
4. Coins are added directly to your balance via Vault.
5. A custom message is sent with the amount, stars, and group.
