SocialCredit | Server Reputation System & Social Experiment (v1.6) Turn your Minecraft server into a chaotic reputation-driven social experiment.
SocialCredit is not designed to sit quietly in the background. It is a gameplay system that changes how players behave toward each other.
Every player has a persistent Social Credit score.
Behave well, contribute to the State, and your score rises. Cause chaosโฆ and the Ministry will notice.
Over time servers naturally develop rivalries, alliances, informants, and propaganda as players try to protect their reputation โ or destroy someone elseโs.
The result is a server that slowly evolves into its own political ecosystem.

Core Gameplay Concept SocialCredit introduces a persistent reputation system that tracks how players behave.
Players quickly begin to:
โข Compete for the highest Social Credit โข Sabotage rival players โข Donate resources to the State โข Attempt to avoid suspicion โข Build reputations as heroesโฆ or notorious criminals
Servers often develop unexpected player politics and social dynamics, which is exactly the point.
This plugin intentionally creates emergent gameplay.
Core Features Global Social Credit Score Every player on the server has a persistent Social Credit score.
Scores can increase or decrease depending on behaviour, server systems, or administrative decisions.
The entire server begins to react to reputation.
State Resource Department The State requires resources.
Players can donate materials to the government and receive State Credits in return.
These credits can then be used for rewards configured by the server owner.
This creates a simple but effective gameplay loop:
โข Donate resources โข Earn State Credits โข Buy rewards โข Compete to become the most valuable citizen
All items, exchange rates, and rewards are fully configurable via YAML.
Daily Join Rewards Players receive a Social Credit reward once every 24 hours when joining the server.
This encourages server activity and gives new players a starting boost.
Administrative Controls Server operators can directly modify Social Credit using commands.
Examples:
/socialcredit add <player> <amount> /socialcredit remove <player> <amount> /socialcredit check <player>
Moderators can reward positive behaviour or punish chaos.
Advanced Systems (v1.6) Heat System Suspicious behaviour now generates Heat.
Players who accumulate too much Heat may attract the attention of the State.
High Heat can lead to:
โข inspections โข investigations โข raids โข imprisonment
Heat is fully configurable and exposed through the plugin API.
Jail System Uncooperative citizens may enjoy temporary state accommodation.
Server owners can configure:
โข jail duration โข penalties โข enforcement behaviour
Inspection & Raid Infrastructure The Ministry now has the ability to investigate suspicious activity.
These systems are designed as framework hooks that server owners and addons can expand.
PlaceholderAPI Support SocialCredit integrates with PlaceholderAPI so scores and status can be used in:
โข scoreboards โข chat formatting โข holograms โข GUIs โข tab lists
Example placeholders:
%socialcredit_score% %socialcredit_rank% %socialcredit_state_credits% %socialcredit_status%
Configurable Feature System Most gameplay systems can be toggled in config.yml.
Server owners can make SocialCredit:
โข a light reputation system โข or a full chaotic political simulation
Built for Expansion SocialCredit is designed as a framework plugin.
The core system intentionally stays lightweight while allowing the ecosystem to grow through addons.
Example addon:
SocialCredit: BlackMarket
Adds:
โข illegal player shops โข contraband trading โข inspections and informants โข underground economies โข propaganda announcements โข Discord broadcasts
This creates a dynamic political economy layered on top of the SocialCredit system.
Performance โข asynchronous operations where possible โข lightweight core framework โข modular systems โข safe config handling
Designed for Paper / Spigot 1.20+ servers.
