Craftings

This plugin changes some mechanics of the original Minecraft making experience more valuable. For that purpose, two crafting recipes for the Experience Bottle were added:



There are some additional crafting recipes for special items like the “Life Insurance”. This item will allow you to keep your inventory when dying and can still be used as a normal totem. The objective of this item is to encourage players to explore beyond their limits and fight fearless.



Another custom item is the “Disgusting Onion”, which is used to clear wild zones (Check the section Wild Zones for more information) just by eating it while standing on a wild zone. It can also tell you if the zone is already cleared.



The last custom item is the “Extremely Poisonous Potato”. When consumed, all the abilities of the player will be set to 0 (you’ll be left just like you started your journey in the server). However, the player will get half its levels back (Check the section Limitations for more information).



Limitations

In order to achieve a longer experience and fomenting team work, plenty of Minecraft original mechanics were “limited”, this means, you will need to gain experience and upgrade certain roles in order to unlock features. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to use these features, this only means that all stages of the game WILL HAVE to be experienced almost fully, expanding the gameplay.

You can have access to all the information about the locked and unlocked features in a menu opened when clicking while holding a stick on your opposite hand. This menu is also used to max your roles.

Between the limited features you can find:



In order to unlock these previous features and obtain some new ones (all roles have new cool mechanics explained in the “Unlocked” in-game menu), levelling up roles will be necessary. There are 8 main roles (with a max level of 300) and a small one (with a max level of 50):



Wild Zones

The objective of the plugin is to encourage players to explore and fight as a team, but going always in group sometimes makes the game way to easy. Having that in mind the Wild Zones were added.

A wild zone is just a chunk that has “enemies” hidden on it. Each 200 seconds (with the default configuration) all players have a chance of “showing up” all the hidden enemies in the chunk the player’s standing. If there’s more than one player in a chunk when the enemies are “showing up”, the number of enemies will increase.

This enemies will have different potion effects and max life depending on the level of the player who “showed them up”: the more level a player has, the more max life and effects the enemy will have (a level 10 player might spawn a common zombie, a level 100 player might spawn a zombie with resistance, and a level 300 player might spawn a zombie with resistance II and strength I).

Once all enemies show up in a zone, it will not spawn enemies any more, therefore, that zone (chunk) is not wild any more.

The Disgusting Onion is used to force enemies to show up and cleaning bigger zones without waiting for the enemies to show up naturally.


Bosses

Each time a monster (or a fish) spawns naturally (now with a spawner) in the overworld, it has a small chance of spawning an Evil Spirit. Killing this little boy with a physical attack (this means an arrow won’t work for example) will spawn a boss depending on the biome it’s in.

There are four main bosses:

-Sea Spirit: spawns when killing an evil spirit on the sea.

-Sand Spirit: spawns when killing an evil spirit on any dessert or hot biome (it can’t rain in those biomes).

-Ice Spirit: spawns when killing an evil spirit on any cold biome (it snows instead of raining).

-Earth Spirit: spawns when killing an evil spirit on any other biome.

Each boss has different special attacks and despawns if all players are too far away for a while. The level of the boss is the same of the evil spirit’s killer. The more level the boss has, the more life it will have.

Loot: All bosses will drop “ability experience bottles” depending on their max health (which also depends on the boss level… and that depends on the player’s level). When drank, these bottles will give 500 of ability experience each (they don’t give normal Minecraft experience). Furthermore, killing a 100+ boss will drop a special item: there are four bosses and each one has 2 possible item drops, making a total of 8 possible items. Each item belongs to a specific role and can only be used if the player has 100+ levels on that role.


Main Mechanics

The main mechanic added by the plugin is a parallel system of experience called: ability experience.

How to get ability experience:


Levels and Ability points:

Each time you get to 1000 XP (ability experience), that experience will be used to increase your level in one. Each time you gain a level, you’ll also obtain an ability point, which can be used to increase the role level in the in-game menu this plugin adds (remember you can open it with a stick).

The maximum reachable level with the default configuration is 700 (You can change this value in configuration).


More Information

Suported languages:

You can change the language in the configuration file (accessible in the LevelProgression folder inside the Plugin folder). You must restart the server for the changes to take place.

After updating your version of LevelProgression it's recomended to delete all the files inside LevelProgression folder.
If some item appears to have "null" in the name or description, delete the language files inside the Plugins/LevelProgression folder.
