"This plugin single-handedly revived our SMP's PvP scene." — Server Admin
⚡ Features That Set You Apart
🛡️ Armor Penetration
Spears are the ultimate tank busters. Configure how much armor your spears ignore:
- Default: 20% armor bypass = True damage that melts tanks
- Fully configurable in
config.yml
🗡️ Extended Reach (+1.5 Blocks)
Win every trade. Spears give you a massive range advantage over swords and axes:
- Uses native Minecraft 1.21 Attributes (PLAYER_ENTITY_INTERACTION_RANGE)
- Zero performance impact — no hacky or fake entities
🏆 Scarcity Economy (Game-Changing)
Create legendary, one-of-a-kind weapons that players will fight wars over:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| NONE | Unlimited crafting. Standard vanilla rules. |
| SINGLE | 🔥 Only ONE SPEAR can exist on the entire server. Ever. |
| PER_TIER | One spear per tier = 7 legendary weapons maximum. |
Imagine the chaos when someone crafts the Diamond Spear first.
