Contagion Signal

Inspired by AltarSMP.

Base item: Echo Shard Command: /contagionsignal [player] Permission: customweapons.contagionsignal (default: op) Resource Pack: Install the AltarSMP Texture Pack - this plugin set is built around it and looks/sounds as intended with it installed.

Cross-Plugin Detection (/weapons)

Every AltarSMP weapon plugin registers /weapons [player], which hands you one weapon from every other AltarSMP plugin currently installed and enabled - a live check each run, nothing to configure.

Crafting Recipe

. E .
G E G
. R .

Where:

• E = Echo Shard
• G = Gold Ingot
• R = Redstone Block

Drop the ingredients into a crafting table in that pattern (. = empty slot) to get the Contagion Signal. Recipe can be turned off in config.

Enchantments

• Mending I

Not a melee weapon, bow, or armor piece, so it doesn't carry combat/defensive enchantments beyond Mending. Still unbreakable.

config.yml

weapon:
  cooldown-ability-1: 40
  cooldown-ability-2: 0
recipe:
  enabled: true
  shape:
    - " E "
    - "GEG"
    - " R "
  ingredients:
    E: ECHO_SHARD
    G: GOLD_INGOT
    R: REDSTONE_BLOCK

Cooldowns are in seconds and reload from config on server start. Set recipe.enabled: false to disable crafting and hand the item out with /contagionsignal only.

Abilities & Triggers

Notes

• The weapon is bound to the player who receives it via a persistent NBT tag, so lore/name changes won't break ability detection.
• The activating player is never hit by their own ability's damage, knockback, or negative effects, even for area attacks, explosions and travelling projectiles/waves.
