MaceSMP
A lightweight Lifesteal-style plugin focused entirely on the Mace.
Players spawn with a bound starter mace. Every time you kill another player you earn mace points. Spend those points in a clean GUI shop (/maceshop) to upgrade your mace with powerful enchants.
Vanilla Enchanting Table, Anvil (books), and Grindstone are completely blocked for maces — the only way to enchant them is through the point system.
Target: Paper 1.21.4+ (Java 21)
Version: b2.5
Author: UniDex101
Features
- Starter mace given on first join (bound to the player)
- Crafted maces are automatically bound to the crafter
- Kill → Points system with anti-farm protection (last 3 unique victims)
- Modern double-chest GUI shop (
/maceshop) - 6 buyable enchants with configurable max levels:
- Density (V)
- Breach (IV)
- Wind Burst (III)
- Fire Aspect (II)
- Unbreaking (III)
- Mending (I)
- Strong protection against vanilla enchanting bypasses
- Pure renaming on anvil is still allowed
- Full MiniMessage support for messages
- Simple YAML player data storage
