Strength Trials

Strength SMP Season 5

A faithful, high-performance,recreation of the official Strength SMP Season 5 weapon and combat system, engineered natively for Paper.

Core Strength Mechanics

Starting Strength: All players start at +3 Strength upon first joining. Minimum / Maximum: Strength ranges from +0 (no extra damage) up to +5 (equivalent to Potion of Strength II: +6.0 damage). Damage Scaling: Every strength level increases all melee attack damage by +1.2. PVP Kill & Death Rules: Dying causes you to lose 1 Strength (cannot go below +0). Killing another player awards you +1 Strength. Zero-Strength Protection: Killing a player who is at +0 Strength will not grant strength and will not drop a star. When killing a player while already at max +5 Strength, they drop a Strength Star item on the ground. Ultimate Requirement: You must have +5 Strength to activate your weapon's Ultimate ability!

Weapon Specialties (Passives & Ultimates)

Players are assigned a random specialty weapon when an admin starts the event. Ultimates are triggered via /ultimate or Shift + Offhand keybind.

1. ⚔️ Sword Passive: Landing a 3-hit combo turns your 4th hit and all subsequent attacks into guaranteed Critical Hits until you swing and miss or let 1.5s pass. Ultimate: After landing a 5-hit combo, dual-wield swords to gain -50% attack cooldown (doubled attack speed) for 15 seconds. Your offhand item is safely stored and restored after the ultimate ends.

2. 🪓 Axe Passive: Every 5th critical hit completely stuns and freezes your opponent on the ground for 1 second. Ultimate: Crits deal Double Damage for 15 seconds (calibrated so that armor penetration does not inflate damage beyond 2x).

3. 🏹 Bow Passive: Arrows apply a random harmful debuff (Slowness, Weakness, Poison, Wither, Blindness, Darkness, Nausea, Mining Fatigue, Levitation, Hunger) clamped to a maximum duration of 30 seconds. Arrows pierce through shields. (Beneficial effects like Strength, Resistance, and Weaving are blocked). Ultimate: Teleports and swaps positions with your target upon arrow impact, perfectly aligning you with their facing direction.

4. 🛡️ Shield Passive: Having your shield disabled by an axe or trident reduces all incoming damage by 25% for 5 seconds. Ultimate: Become completely invincible to all damage for 15 seconds.

5. 🔨 Mace Passive: Mace hit cooldown is reduced by 50% (1:30 minutes instead of the server-wide 3:00 minutes). Ultimate: Gains Wind Burst II and zero cooldown on attacks for 30 seconds. All temporary enchantments are cleaned when the ultimate ends.

6. 🔱 Spear Passive: Supports all tiers (Wooden through Netherite) with an attack speed of 1.6 (matching a sword) and +3.0 bonus damage. Ultimate: Propels you forward with extreme velocity (Lunge III) and provides 5 seconds of fall damage immunity.

7. 🛡️ Armor Passive: All equipped Diamond Armor automatically upgrades into Netherite, and reverts back to Diamond with its exact durability intact when unequipped or dropped. Ultimate: Grants 0 Knockback and causes Golden Apples to grant Absorption IV for 25 seconds.

8. 🔱 Trident Passive: 1.6 sword attack speed and disables shields like an axe (causing shield break sound and 5s shield disable). Ultimate: Summons a 20-second Thunderstorm where every critical strike summons lightning and deals bonus damage. The thunderstorm clears when the ultimate ends.

9. 🏹 Crossbow Passive: Arrows shoot through shields and have a 50% chance to ignite targets with True Fire (bypasses Fire Resistance). Ultimate: Temporarily overcharges the crossbow with Power V and Quick Charge V for 20 seconds.
