UHC ELOUD is a lightweight, configurable Paper plugin for hosting Ultra Hardcore (UHC) matches on Minecraft! It's inspired by the classic UHC España series by ElRichMC, bringing its competitive, episode-based format to life.
It handles everything you need: lobby, scatter, chapters, border, teams, PVP timing, supplies, scoreboards, victory system... and much more to come! You can run a full match from an in-game Admin Panel without editing config files.

🤔 Why use it?
- Server side plugin: Players don't need to install anything, everything runs on the server.
- Run a whole UHC from one panel: no juggling multiple plugins or commands mid-game.
- The UHC España experience: episodes, gentleman's pact, golden heads, hidden identities, death heads.
- Modern Minecraft, classic PVP: optional 1.8-style combat on current versions.
- Multilingual: Spanish, English, French, German and Italian, chosen per player.

📥 Requirements & Get Started
- Paper server (recommended) or Purpur (see the Compatibility section for supported Minecraft versions).
- Java 25
- Dependencies:
Drop UHC ELOUD into your plugins folder along with TAB and SkinsRestorer, which it needs to handle nametags and skins. You'll need a Paper or Purpur server running Java 25. Restart, run /reset, and you're ready.
Not sure where to start? Open /uhcadmin. Gamemode, chapter length, border, teams, PVP episode and shulkers can all be configured from there. When you're happy with it, run /start <border-size> and confirm.
Forgot a command? /uhccommands opens an interactive menu that shows you what's available, split into player and admin commands.
