Burning Daylight

Burning Daylight is a Minecraft plugin that introduces a new survival mechanic: players take damage when exposed to direct sunlight. Use the environment, time of day, and protective gear to survive.

Features

• Sunburn Damage: Direct exposure to sunlight causes damage—find shade or go underground to stay safe.
  • Damage duration and intensity are fully configurable.
• Nighttime Safety: Reduced damage at night. This is configurable through settings.
• Weather Protection: Rainy or stormy weather diminishes sunlight. This is configurable through settings.
• Grace Period:
  • Players start with a 5-minute grace period (default), during which they are immune to sunburn damage.
  • Grace periods can be applied on the first join or upon respawning, with customizable start/end messages.
• Customizable Damage Prevention:
  • Sunburn damage can be prevented in specific dimensions, such as the Nether or the End.
  • Fire Resistance potions can also grant immunity if enabled in the configuration.
• Armor Protection:
  • Leather armor is the default protective gear, reducing damage by 25% per piece (full leather armor negates 100% of damage).
  • Other armor types (iron, gold, diamond, netherite) can be configured for protection through the settings.
  • Fire Protection enchantments further reduce damage.
• Daytime Durability Damage:
  • Armor takes durability damage from sun exposure during the day (default).
  • Durability loss can also be toggled for nighttime and weather.
• Exempt Players: Specific players can be exempted from sunburn damage via configuration.
