BreakableSMP is a competitive SMP plugin for Paper that introduces a single legendary netherite armor set, adrenaline-based protection, and permanent consequences for losing pieces.

The plugin was built from scratch to create a high-stakes experience where armor is not just gear — it's a limited, powerful resource that cannot be replaced. Every mechanic is designed to punish mistakes and reward preparation, keeping the server tense and engaging.

If you have a banner and/or icon for this plugin I'd appreciate it. Reach out on Discord: YetAnotherFollowerOfChrist

What it does

  • Adds one unique legendary armor set (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) that never duplicates
  • Adrenaline XP packs give 15 seconds of total armor protection, with a cooldown
  • Automatic activation when a piece is about to break — you don't need to use the pack manually
  • Each adrenaline activation permanently degrades the full set passive bonuses
  • If a legendary piece breaks, you lose permanent hearts (2 by default)
  • If a piece falls into the void, you lose 4 permanent hearts and the piece is re-scattered
  • Losing all four pieces results in a permanent ban
  • Full set bonuses: Speed II and Regeneration II while wearing the complete set, degrading with each adrenaline use (Regen II lost, then Speed II lost, then Regen I, then Speed I, then nothing)
  • Guardian Angel: once every 30 minutes, a fatal hit is negated and you are healed back to 1 HP with a brief regeneration boost
  • Armor stand recovery: place legendary armor on an armor stand to slowly restore degraded passives over time (25 min for Speed I, 45 min for Regeneration I)
  • Hint chests, clue books, and scattered armor loot spawn automatically after a configurable real-life delay (default 7 days)

Legendary Armor

  • Netherite pieces with top-tier enchantments (Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending, plus slot-specific enchants like Depth Strider III, Feather Falling IV, Swift Sneak III)
  • No Thorns — never damages attackers unintentionally
  • Each piece carries a unique internal ID and tracks its last holder
  • Cannot be destroyed while Adrenaline XP is active, even if durability reaches zero

Adrenaline XP

  • Special XP bottle item that is consumed automatically when a legendary piece would break
  • Gives 15 seconds of complete protection for the entire set (global, not per piece)
  • Has a configurable cooldown (default 20 minutes of online time)
  • Using adrenaline permanently degrades the set bonuses in a fixed order
  • Action bar shows a potion symbol while adrenaline is active

Punishments

  • Permanent heart loss on piece break (configurable amount)
  • Extra heart loss if a piece is voided (configurable amount)
  • Optional ban when all four pieces are broken
  • Hearts are stored in data.yml and applied every login, so they survive server restarts

Scattering and Loot

  • Hint chests spawn a few seconds after /breakable start, containing clue books and papers
  • Legendary armor chests spawn after a configurable real-life delay (default 7 days)
  • Scatter locations respect world borders, Nether height limits, and End island distance
  • If a piece is voided, it is immediately re-scattered into a new chest somewhere in the world

Full Set Bonuses

  • Wearing the complete legendary set grants Speed II and Regeneration II
  • Each adrenaline activation degrades these bonuses permanently in this order:
    1. Regeneration II is lost (Speed II remains)
    2. Speed II is lost (both gone)
  • Bonuses are applied automatically and shown only to the player via action bar
  • Degradation level is stored in data.yml and persists across restarts
  • Armor stand recovery can slowly bring back lost bonuses (Speed I after 25 min, Regeneration I after 45 min)

Guardian Angel

  • Once every 30 minutes of real time, if you would die while wearing the full legendary set, the death is negated
  • You are left at 1 HP with Regeneration V for 3 seconds
  • A charge is consumed and a sound plays; after 30 minutes, the charge returns
  • A message appears on the action bar when the charge is restored

Configuration

  • Almost every value is adjustable: scatter delay, heart loss, ban behavior, adrenaline duration, cooldown, recovery times, etc.
  • Messages are fully configurable and support color codes
  • Data is stored in data.yml and config.yml, both in the plugin folder
  • The plugin runs on any version between 1.21-26.1.2 and probably lower

Why this plugin exists

Existing competitive SMP plugins are often too complex, too forgiving, or require many other plugins to work. BreakableSMP was made to be self-contained, predictable, and unforgiving. It does exactly what it says: one legendary set, real consequences, no resets. The entire plugin was vibe coded by me (Lumyrix) using claude and deepseek
