WaterBar999

WaterBarPlugin is a comprehensive Minecraft survival plugin that introduces a realistic thirst mechanic to enhance gameplay immersion. Players must manage their water levels by collecting, purifying, and consuming water to survive. The plugin features dynamic biome-based water depletion, custom water items, purification systems, and configurable effects, making survival more challenging and engaging.

Features Dynamic Thirst System: Players have a water level that depletes over time based on the biome they are in. Hot biomes cause faster water loss, cold biomes slower, and default biomes moderate loss.

Custom Water Items:

Dirty Water: Can be collected from natural water sources with an 80% chance. Causes poison when consumed but restores a small amount of water. Clean Water: Can be obtained by purifying dirty water. Safe to drink and restores a larger amount of water. Water Collection: Players can collect water by right-clicking water or waterlogged blocks with a glass bottle. The plugin ensures realistic chances for dirty vs. clean water.

Water Purification:

Campfire Purification: Dirty water can be purified using a campfire with a custom campfire recipe. Furnace Purification: Dirty water can be purified in a furnace. The plugin listens to furnace smelting events to convert dirty water to clean water. Crafting Recipe: Players can craft dirty water by combining a glass bottle and dirt.

Thirst Effects:

Drinking dirty water applies poison effects. Low water levels apply slowness to simulate dehydration. When water reaches zero, players take periodic damage until they drink water. Visual Feedback: Water level is displayed on the player’s XP bar for a smooth and intuitive indicator.

Configurable: All key parameters such as water loss rates, restore amounts, potion effect durations, and damage settings are configurable via config.yml.

Robust Event Handling: Handles player join, respawn, interaction, item consumption, and furnace events to maintain consistent and bug-free gameplay.

Async Player Data Management: Player water levels are saved asynchronously to prevent server lag and data loss.

Permission-Based Commands: Provides commands for players and admins to check water levels and give water items.

Permissions thirstbar.use Allows players to use the /water command and experience the thirst mechanics. Default: true

thirstbar.admin Allows players to use admin commands such as giving clean or dirty water items. Default: op Commands /water check Displays the player’s current water level (0-100).

/water give <clean|dirty> Gives the player a clean or dirty water bottle. Requires thirstbar.admin permission.

/water help Shows help information about water commands.

Core Systems

1. Water Level Management Tracks each player’s water level as a double value (0 to 100). Water depletes periodically based on biome-specific loss rates. Water levels are saved and loaded from a persistent YAML file asynchronously.

2. Water Collection & Items Players collect water by right-clicking water or waterlogged blocks with glass bottles. The plugin differentiates dirty and clean water using persistent data keys on custom potion items.

3. Water Purification Purification is handled via campfire recipes and furnace smelting events. Dirty water smelted in a furnace or cooked on a campfire converts to clean water with XP rewards.

4. Effects & Damage Drinking dirty water applies configurable poison effects. Low water levels apply slowness. When water reaches zero, a repeating task damages the player periodically until water is restored or the player dies.

5. Visual & User Feedback Water level is shown on the XP bar. Action bar messages notify players of low water and dehydration status without spamming.

6. Configuration & Customization All parameters including biome water loss rates, potion effect durations, damage amounts, and recipe timings are configurable in config.yml for server owners to balance gameplay.

7. Event Handling & Safety The plugin carefully manages inventory changes, prevents exploits, and cancels dehydration tasks on player death or respawn to ensure smooth gameplay.
