AstroPowers

Plugin info

The plugin adds 14 unique powers (Flying, Strength, Speed, Glitch, Blindness, Warden, Holy, Heart, Vampire, Arrow, Fire, Lightning, Atlantis, Adaptive). Each has passive effects and 1–2 active abilities. Players can have two powers at once (primary and secondary).
You use abilities with /ability1, /ability2, /ability3, and /ability4. Some powers support an extra mode (e.g. Arrow can use arrows from your inventory); toggle with /abilitymode <power>.
Powers are obtained by crafting: put the correct items in a 3×3 crafting table in the recipe pattern for that power. That starts a ritual; recipes are in the config and can be edited via /astropowers recipe edit <power> or the GUI.
Rituals last 30 minutes and cannot be cancelled. While a ritual runs, you can move freely. When it finishes, a power potion is dropped on top of the crafting table (or the highest solid block in that spot if something is stacked on it).
When a ritual starts, the entire server is notified: a boss bar appears in all worlds with the power name, your name, dimension (Overworld/Nether/End), coordinates, and a live countdown. A beacon-style particle beam appears at the ritual location. Active rituals also show on the locator bar.
Trust lets you protect others from your powers only: if you trust a player, your abilities skip them (one-way; does not block normal melee/PvP). Use /trust or /astropowers trust.
Admins can give or remove powers without crafting using /astropowers effect add/remove <player> <power>.
Your current powers are shown in the action bar above the hotbar. You can reduce particles/sounds with /astropowers reducedeffects. Resource-pack action bar icons are a beta option via /astropowers texturepack (when beta mode is enabled).
Recipes, cooldowns, languages (EN, NL, FR, ES), world border, and potion textures are configurable. PlaceholderAPI placeholders are available for scoreboards and chat (powers, cooldowns, trust, rituals).

Crafting system

Recipes

Stored in recipes.yml. Each power has a 3×3 recipe (2–9 ingredients).
Create via /astropowers recipe create, edit via /astropowers recipe edit <power>, or edit the file and use /astropowers reload.
Tab completion for all items.

Rituals

Place items in a crafting table in the recipe pattern to start a 30-minute ritual.
Ritual cannot be cancelled. On completion, a power potion is dropped on top of the block; drinking it grants the power.
Server-wide: when a ritual starts, all players see a boss bar with ritual name, player, dimension, coordinates, and countdown.
Beacon-style particle beam at the ritual location; rituals also appear on the locator bar.
Progress chat messages can show a matching item/effect icon next to the remaining time.
