# anomaly events

**Anomaly Events** are server-wide challenges that provide players with a chance to earn the rarest enchantments in the plugin.

## 🌌 The Event Cycle

1. **Spawning**: At random intervals (configured in `config.yml`), an Anomaly Crystal spawns in one of the allowed worlds.
2. **Mob Wave**: The crystal is protected by a shield. Players must kill a set number of "Shielded Mobs" to break it.
3. **The Crystal**: Once the shield is down, players can attack the crystal itself.
4. **Loot**: When the crystal is destroyed, it explodes into a shower of high-tier loot, including `ANOMALY` rarity books.

## 🛠️ Management

Admins can use `/enchants anomaly start` to trigger an event immediately for testing or manual server events.
