Altar SMP S3

Bring legendary weapons and material-based altar rituals to your Minecraft server. Customize abilities, recipes, cooldowns, and effects to suit your SMP.

Development build: this version contains six obtainable items. Four have implemented ability systems; Carnage and Nichirin are currently placeholders without active powers.

Weapons & Abilities

Weapon	Abilities
Void Scythe	Summon and launch obsidian shards. Gain Speed II while holding the weapon.
Thunder Sovereign	Throw a blade that can lodge in a target, applying a timed wound with slowness and regeneration for the attacker.
Blood Greatsword	Throw your blade to inflict bleeding, or use Blink to teleport toward a targeted block and enter temporary stealth.
Mace	Pull a target toward you with Chain Pull or launch yourself forward with Dash. Includes Wind Burst I.
Carnage	Obtainable placeholder — abilities are not implemented yet.
Nichirin	Obtainable placeholder — abilities are not implemented yet.

Use right-click for primary abilities. Blood Greatsword’s Blink and the Mace’s Dash use sneak + right-click. Void Scythe uses one right-click to summon shards and another to launch them.

Altar Rituals

Create dedicated altars for all six items. Each altar displays its required materials and an item preview.

Interact with an altar to craft its weapon. Missing ingredients are reported; successful rituals consume the required materials and award the corresponding item.

Ritual settings include:

• Customizable ingredient lists
• Floating item previews and recipe text
• Optional solid altar barriers
• Completion particles and sounds
• Server-wide crafting announcements

Configuration

Adjust cooldowns, damage settings, effect durations, projectile settings, Blink distance, Mace pull range, Dash strength, and ritual recipes.

Optional cooldown boss bars show ability recovery. Sound settings support custom resource-pack keys or vanilla Minecraft sounds.

Configuration is generated at:

plugins/Legendaries/config.yml

Before public use: change general.item-name and general.menu-title, which currently default to test. The weapon names above identify their configuration entries.

Commands

Command	Description
/legandaries	Open the admin item menu
/ritual <1-6>	Place a weapon ritual altar
/maceritual	Place the Mace ritual altar
/cooldown <player>	Run the cooldown reset command
/legendaries reload	Reload the configuration

Admin permission: legendaries.admin — granted to operators by default.

The menu command is spelled /legandaries in this build.

Installation

1. Install Paper 1.21.11 with Java 21.
2. Place AltarSMP-S3.jar in the server’s plugins folder.
3. Start the server to generate the configuration.
4. Configure the plugin and install its matching resource pack separately.
5. Open /legandaries as an operator or place an altar with /ritual <1-6>.

The matching resource pack is required for the intended custom models and sounds. It is not bundled inside the JAR.

Compatibility & Development Status

Tested on Paper 1.21.11 with Java 21. Basic runtime checks covered the item menu, all six crafting rituals, and ability handlers.

Full PvP damage behavior, balance, resource-pack visuals and sounds, and complete cooldown-reset coverage still require further validation. Other Minecraft versions, Spigot, Purpur, and Folia have not been tested.

This S3 build has a different weapon roster from the older 13-weapon Altar SMP release. Older showcase footage may demonstrate features that are absent from this version.

The plugin internally reports Legendaries 1.0.0. This release is obfuscated.
