Introduction
The first Minecraft Role-playing plugin created for the multiplayer server Herocraft! Heroes is a dynamic, flexible and highly configurable class, skill and experience system. Heroes itself is the hub of your players RPG experience, boasting classes, multi-tiering, and advanced skills. Along with classes, Heroes offers your players a new style of PvP & PvE through our well-developed skill system and our weapon + armor restrictions. No longer will your mages have the ability to use diamond swords, your rogues will no longer sneak around in their heavy diamond tunics and most importantly, you can now hurl fireballs and stun your targets. The best part of this? It's your choice how your Heroes is set up, don't want a certain skill, that's fine, you can just remove the skill and be done with it!

What can I do with it?
With Heroes, you can do almost anything you'd want to do on an RPG server. The main feature is our customizable tiered class system, which offers as much to the server owner as possible when tied with our skills and permission skills. Your Heroes could be totally unique to your server, it could be the reason players play your server over other servers. The same can be said about our skill system, it's unique to any of the other RPG plugins out there. Other plugins dub "Skills" as methods which you level up, this isn't the case with Heroes. Skills are abilities you can perform which are unique to your class. Some of our favorite skills are Fireball, Jump and Port. These are what makes Heroes unique.

FAQs / Untested / May have Issues

Q: Does Heroes work with Citizens?
A: Sorta.- Citizens - (NPCs loaded as playerObjects cause some conflicts - contact Citizen for possible fixes) Full support would require a major rewrite of Heroes Framework on how we load/save classes. Avoid using Citizens named as players on your server.

Q: Can I use /reload or reload plugins with Heroes Premium?
A: "/reload" will cause instability with the class manager. Do not use /reload. Spigot recommends not using it ever.

Q: What permission systems do you use or recommend?
A: We recommend using LuckPerms or zPerms. GM & PEX permission systems are untested/unsupported, YMMV.

Q: Can I use other RPG systems (like Mcmmo) with Heroes?
A: Most plugins will load and not cause errors, there may be some philosophical overlap due to both being "RPG" plugins.

Q: Does 1.7 and 1.8 versions work on Heroes Premium
A: 1.7 and 1.8 may have some issues. The more advanced skills may not function properly unless compiled against these versions. 1.8.8 is the only supported 1.8 build.

Q: Is Bukkit Supported?
A: Craftbukkit is NOT supported. You should use Spigot or PaperSpigot.

Q: Is there a language file with Heroes? Can you translate it
A: We do NOT have a full language file, there are sections you can customize and change descriptions however. Please use MessageFilter for the time being.

Q: Can I localize the skill descriptions?
A: Yes. You can do this in skills.yml by editing the Description section.

Q: Can I turn off stamina and use the food system?
A: Yes. You can do this in config.yml by editing the appropriate section.
