Bloodnight Lottery is a horror-themed survival event plugin that transforms ordinary nights into moments of pure tension.
When a Bloodnight begins, one player is chosen as The Cursed — marked, hunted, and forced to survive until dawn… or be eliminated by the rest of the server.

Designed for SMP and Survival servers that want player interaction, risk, and unforgettable events.

Core Gameplay Systems

The Cursed Lottery
• Fair target selection based on configurable playtime
• Prevents the same player from being chosen twice in a row
• Admins can override the lottery and force a target via command or GUI

Blood Threat System (Progression)
A scalable power system that evolves during the night.

Vanilla Mode (Default)
• Strength II + Speed II
• No special abilities
• Clean, classic experience

Progression Mode (Optional)
• Level 1: Basic buffs, abilities locked
• Level 2: Unlocks Double Jump & Charged Jump, increased strength
• Level 3: Maximum threat (Strength III, Speed II)

Abilities are silently suppressed when disabled — no side effects.

Tracking & The Hunt

• All players receive a Tracker Compass pointing to the Cursed
• Optional advanced tracking adds random offset for unreliable tracking
• Fully configurable update delay for balance

Atmosphere & Immersion

Red Night Ambience turns the world into a nightmare:
• Red-tinted sky and fog
• Weather locked during the event
• Blood-themed particles and BossBar
• Night is locked until the event ends

Combat Pressure
• Players near the Cursed suffer temporary blindness
• The Cursed is briefly blinded when taking damage

Multi-Language Support
