🌌 SoulForge

✨ The Ultimate High-Stakes Hardcore SMP Core ✨

SoulForge is an advanced, performance-optimized survival mechanics plugin designed for competitive SMP, factions, and hardcore networks. Merging the intense thrill of life-stealing networks with mechanical item-based value, SoulForge turns every PvP encounter into a brutal struggle for survival.

When a player falls in battle, their lifeforce is physically shattered into commodity pieces. Survival is no longer cheap—it must be forged.

🚀 Key Features

• ⚔️ True High-Stakes PvP: When a player kills another player in PvP, a physical Soul Shard drops at the victim's feet, accompanied by a dynamic lightning strike sound effect and special particle trails.
• 🛡️ Hardcore Life Insurance: If a player has a custom-crafted Soul Totem in their inventory upon taking fatal PvP damage, the totem is consumed to anchor their soul, keeping them safe and online.
• ❌ Vanilla Totem Rejection: Say goodbye to endless raid farm exploits. Standard vanilla totems are completely disabled and will shatter into glass pieces if used, forcing players to engage with the server economy.
• 🔒 Seamless Elimination & Revival: Players killed without a Soul Totem are temporarily banned ("Shattered"). Teammates must gather rare shards and diamonds to forge a Revival Core, right-clicking it to restore their ally to the living world.
• ⚡ Ultra-Optimized Backend: Built strictly with native Paper/Spigot APIs and utilizing standard PersistentDataContainer tracking. Zero reliance on external libraries means zero performance lag and complete security against item-renaming duplication exploits.
