Strength System

⚔️ StrengthSystem – PvP with Real Consequences Turn every kill and death into a meaningful power shift. StrengthSystem adds a persistent Strength stat that grows when you slay enemies and drops when you fall. Reach the top to deal massive bonus damage – but sink too low and you risk a permanent ban!

🔥 Core Features Kill = +1 Strength (capped at 5)

Death = -1 Strength (minimum -5)

Reach -5 Strength → Auto‑ban (configurable message)

Strength directly increases your melee damage

Each point = +20% damage

At Strength 5: double damage (100% boost)

💫 Strength Withdrawal Convert your Strength into physical Strength Stars using /winthray .

Strength decreases by the amount withdrawn (can go down to -5).

You receive one Nether Star per point withdrawn.

Right‑click a Strength Star to regain 1 Strength (up to the maximum of 5).

Perfect for sharing power with friends or saving for later!

🗡️ The Strength Sword – Legendary, One‑per‑Server A unique, craftable weapon with a custom texture (resource pack included).

Recipe: 7 Diamond Blocks + Netherite Sword + Enchanted Golden Apple

Effect: Killing a player gives +2 Strength instead of +1.

Global limit: Only one Strength Sword can ever exist on the server.

Admins can reset the limit (/strengthsword reset) or give the sword (/strengthsword give).

🎨 Custom Texture & Resource Pack The Strength Sword has its own 3D model and texture. We provide a complete resource pack template – just generate the sword texture using our AI prompt, pack the files, and host the pack. Players will see the glowing crimson blade with runes.

❓ FAQ Q: Does Strength affect ranged attacks (bows, crossbows)? A: No – only melee hits are boosted. This keeps the feature balanced for PvP.

Q: Can I disable the damage scaling? A: Yes – simply remove the onDamage method from StrengthListener.java and recompile.

Q: What happens if the Strength Sword is lost or destroyed? A: An admin can use /strengthsword give to spawn a new one, or /strengthsword reset to allow another player to craft it.

Q: Can I use the plugin without the resource pack? A: Absolutely – the sword will still function perfectly, it will just look like a normal Netherite sword.
