Afflictions

A supernatural afflictions plugin for Paper servers. Turn players into vampires or werewolves, raise werewolf clans, forge alliances and rivalries, curse players with custom debuffs, and more.

Currently in Beta

The plugin is in active beta. It is feature-rich but still moving fast, so it is best suited to people who do not mind being on the bleeding edge with the occasional bug. Planned for upcoming Release Candidates: MySQL/MariaDB storage (currently falls back to SQLite), an active abilities / skills system, and vampire siring. More PlaceholderAPI placeholders and built-in curses are also on the way.

Features

Vampirism - Sunlight damage, night bonuses, a blood system with feeding, and automatic time-based leveling (Fledgling, Nightstalker, Bloodborn, Elder, Ancient)
Werewolves & Clans - The Lycanthropy affliction with admin-defined, Alpha-run clans, per-role skins via SkinsRestorer, and a /werewolf transform toggle
Alliances & Relations - Vampires and werewolf clans form mutual alliances (allies and clanmates can't damage each other) or declare rivalries and enemies, plus Beta-vs-Alpha leadership challenge duels
In-game Menu - /aff opens a GUI with a detailed panel per affliction: vampire stats, your clan and pack roster, and a relations card
Curses - Configurable debuff afflictions (weakness, blindness, decay, or create your own)
Moon Phases - 8-phase lunar cycle affecting gameplay
PlaceholderAPI - Full integration for scoreboards, TAB, and chat plugins
Persistent Storage - SQLite with offline player support
Fully Configurable - MiniMessage formatting, per-affliction YAML configs, quiet-by-default console

Requirements

Paper 26.1.2 (the plan is to support the latest versions of Minecraft; as Minecraft moves toward newer Java versions, the plugin will always target the latest possible Java for the best performance)

Optional
