LancerCore

Features

LancerCore turns the vanilla Spear into a deadly, skill-based weapon. It introduces a combo system, visual effects, and advanced damage calculations based on speed and mounts.

• Grappling Trident (v4.0 NEW!): Experience unparalleled 3D mobility! You MUST equip a Lead in your off-hand and throw a Trident to anchor it to any surface. Right-click to pull yourself towards it. Hook distance scales with the Unbreaking enchantment!
• The Catalyst System (v4.1 & v4.2 NEW!): Hold specific items in your off-hand while striking with the spear to trigger powerful magical effects!
  • Name Tag (Marked): Reveals hidden enemies globally for 15s.
  • Magma Cream (Lava Trail): Target leaves a trail of fire when moving.
  • Nether Star (Gravity Well): Pulls all nearby enemies toward your target.
  • Totem of Undying (False Death): Grants 2s of invisibility + invulnerability.
  • Heart of the Sea (Tidal Pull): Drags the target forcefully toward you.
  • Prismarine Shard (Mirror Shield): Reflects 100% of the next attack received.
  • Prismarine Crystals (Refraction): Reduces incoming damage by 40% and reflects it back for 4s.
  • Nether Wart (Blood Curse): Target damages themselves every time they hit you for 4s.
• Advanced Damage Scaling: Configurable damage multipliers. Deal massive damage while riding horses, pigs, or camels with the Cavalry Bonus.
• Combo System: Chain attacks to build up your combo meter. Displays an animated Action Bar message and plays rising pitch sounds for satisfaction (Devil May Cry style!).
• Visual Effects: Unlock particle auras (Helix or Circle) when reaching high combos. Fully configurable particle types (Soul Fire, Flame, Redstone, etc.).
• Ghost Reach: Perform long-range attacks when your combo is high.
• Bleeding & Lightning: Enemies bleed on impact and lightning strikes on high combos.
• Balanced Mechanics: Add a configurable Hunger Cost to the Spear's "Lunge" attack to prevent spamming.
• Database & Stats: Built-in SQLite database to track Kills, Max Combos, and records without lag.
• PlaceholderAPI Support: Display stats on your Scoreboard or Tablist easily.
