Burning Daylight

Burning Daylight is a Minecraft plugin that introduces a new survival mechanic: players take damage when exposed to direct sunlight. Use the environment, time of day, and protective gear to survive.

Features

  • Sunburn Damage: Direct exposure to sunlight causes damage—find shade or go underground to stay safe.
    • Damage duration and intensity are fully configurable.
  • Nighttime Safety: Reduced damage at night. This is configurable through settings.
  • Weather Protection: Rainy or stormy weather diminishes sunlight. This is configurable through settings.
  • Special Sun Gear:
    • Leather armor mitigates or eliminates sunburn damage, making it essential for survival.
    • (Full leather armor during nightime negates all damage with default damage settings.)
  • Grace Period:
    • Players start with a 5-minute grace period (default), during which they are immune to sunburn damage.
    • Grace periods can be applied on the first join or upon respawning, with customizable start/end messages.
  • Customizable Damage Prevention:
    • Sunburn damage can be prevented in specific dimensions, such as the Nether or the End.
    • Fire Resistance potions can also grant immunity if enabled in the configuration.
  • Armor Protection:
    • Leather armor is the default protective gear, reducing damage by 25% per piece (full leather armor negates 100% of damage).
    • Other armor types (iron, gold, diamond, netherite) can be configured for protection through the settings.
    • Fire Protection enchantments further reduce damage.
  • Daytime Durability Damage:
    • Armor takes durability damage from sun exposure during the day (default).
    • Durability loss can also be toggled for nighttime and weather.
  • Exempt Players: Specific players can be exempted from sunburn damage via configuration.

Commands

  • /burn reload: Reloads the plugin's configuration file.
  • /burn exempt <playerName>: Exempts a player from receiving damage.
  • /burn unexempt <playerName>: Unexempts a player from receiving damage.
