Essence Arrays brings a new dimension of magic to your server, allowing players to design, build, and activate powerful formations. By arranging blocks in specific patterns and using a unique activation item, players can unleash a wide range of configurable effects, from healing auras and protective barriers to devastating storms and arcane traps.

Key Features

• Extremely Customizable Formations: Every aspect of a formation can be changed via configuration files. Define the block pattern, activation item, duration, radius, particle effects, and gameplay mechanics.
• 20+ Unique Effects: The plugin comes packed with over 20 built-in effects, including HEAL, DAMAGE, VORTEX (pull), REPEL (push), STASIS (slow time), LIGHTNING, HARVEST, SMELT, and many more!
• Advanced Particle Engine: Design breathtaking visuals for your formations with 7 different particle shapes like RINGS, PILLARS, DOMES, and HELIXES. Customize the particle type, density, speed, and color.
• Team & Ally Integration: Effects can intelligently distinguish between friends and foes. The plugin automatically hooks into BetterTeams, SimpleClans, and vanilla Minecraft Scoreboard teams.
• Blueprint System: Allow players to build complex formations instantly using a "Blueprint" item. Perfect for server rewards, quest items, or donor perks.
• Unique Activation Items: Go beyond simple materials. Create custom activation items with unique names and lore, preventing players from easily crafting them.

Installation

1. Stop your server.
2. Place the EssenceArrays.jar file (or your chosen name) into your server's `/plugins` folder.
3. (Optional) If you use BetterTeams or SimpleClans, the plugin will automatically detect them.
4. Start your server. The default `config.yml`, `formations.yml`, and language files will be generated.
