Demons — Holy Blade vs Hellspawn

Project Page / Modrinth Listing Info

Summary

DemonPlugin is a survival plugin that turns every zombie into a deadly demon that can only be slain using a sacred weapon — the Angelic Sword. Designed to pair with a custom resource pack, this plugin makes nights terrifying and rewards players for surviving hell's invasion.

Features

Supernatural Zombie Overhaul:

• Every zombie becomes a Demon automatically
• Custom name & behavior
• Optional fire resistance
• Increased movement speed
• Configurable health & damage
• Only damageable by Angelic Sword
• Fully resource-pack compatible

Angelic Sword:

• Uses Heart of the Sea as the item base (for custom textures)
• Only weapon capable of harming demons
• One-hit demon kills
• Breaks after configurable uses
• Recipe fully configurable in config.yml

Vault Rewards:

• Earn money per demon kill
• Configurable min/max rewards

• Automatically disables if Vault is missing (no errors)

Permissions

(No admin abuse commands — fully survival-focused)

Dependencies
