🌿 GaiaBalance
Restore the Earth. Master the Elements. Maintain the Balance. GaiaBalance is a realistic environmental karma system for Paper-based Minecraft servers. Every action you take—from planting a single sapling to burning down a forest—is tracked by the spirit of nature. Will you become a blessed Druid of the forest, or face the decaying wrath of the Blight?
📊 The Karma System
Your relationship with nature is measured on a scale from 0% to 100%. Check your action bar at any time to see your current standing.
