Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/redlightbow.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
use-charges	true	true = finite tier charges, false = infinite charges
plant-charge-cost	1	Charges spent when a torch-planting arrow is loosed.
plant-sound	none	Sound played when a planted arrow places a torch (Bukkit Sound name). Set plant-sound to 'none' or blank to silence. Bows are silent by default.
plant-sound-volume	1	Volume of the plant sound.
plant-sound-pitch	1.2	Pitch of the plant sound.

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
charges-by-tier Charges granted per pattern Tier (1 = Tier 1 … 7 = Tier 7). Edit this table to override the baked default pool.	16	35	81	203	528	1426	4278
