WemmbuMace

A server-side Paper plugin that adds a single legendary weapon: the WemmbuMace. It's an indestructible, enchanted mace that unlocks stronger abilities the more kills it earns, from sky launches and orbital strikes to a purple beam and a custom elytra, the Wemlytra.

No resource pack and no client mods are needed. Players join with a normal vanilla client.

Features

• Orbital Nuke: calls down a huge wave of real TNT, followed by a shockwave and mushroom cloud.
• Orbital Stab: drills a shaft straight down to bedrock.
• Sky Launch: blasts you about 12 blocks into the air.
• Purple Beam: a sustained beam that damages whatever it touches.
• Kill-based progression: a mace's kills are saved on the item and unlock perks.
• Wemlytra: an indestructible elytra, awarded at 10 kills, with a dash ability.
• Fully configurable: cooldowns, kill requirements, TNT yields, block damage and more.

The abilities

Orbital Nuke

A red targeting laser marks the spot, then a barrage of real primed TNT falls from 120 blocks up: a huge center blast plus three rings of TNT. The blast ends with a fireball, an expanding shockwave and a rising mushroom cloud.

Orbital Stab

A targeting laser, then a chain of blasts digs down from the impact point until it reaches bedrock. It also clears a guaranteed 3×3 shaft, so tough blocks like obsidian and deepslate can't stop it. Bedrock is never removed.

Wemlytra

An unbreakable elytra unlocked at 10 kills. Sneak + right-click while gliding to dash forward, with no wall or kinetic damage during the dash.

• Nuke height, charge time, center yield and TNT rings

• strikes.owner-immune: caster takes no damage from their own TNT
• Targeting range and whether mob kills count

⚠️ Heads-up for server owners

The orbital nuke is very destructive and can briefly lag a server because of its huge TNT blasts. If your server struggles, lower center-yield or raise ring-delay-ticks. Anything that protects land from explosions should be tested with this plugin before you use it on a public server. Only give the mace to people you trust.
