🔨 MaceSMP — The Ultimate Custom Mace Weapon System

Transform your SMP's combat experience with MaceSMP, a high-powered Paper/Spigot plugin tailored for Minecraft 1.21.1+. Instead of standard vanilla weapons, MaceSMP introduces three unique, high-tier weapon paths featuring custom execution matrices, celestial mechanics, and leveling progression.

🌟 Core Loop & Progression System

Every weapon starts at Level 1 with baseline modifiers.

Upgrade by Domination: Defeating another player updates your weapon's internal data container, permanently ranking it up (+1 Level and custom density modifiers) and splashing a server-wide visual achievement!
The Hard-Core Risk: If you die, your weapon loses 1 Level and drops a physically floating Mace Level Container on the ground. Anyone can steal your lost level container and right-click it to upgrade their own weapon!
Crafting Alternative: Don't want to hunt players? Assemble a Mace Level Container using rare vanilla assets (Gold Blocks, Diamonds, and an Eye of Ender) to advance your weapon potential safely.

☄️ Weapon Archetypes & Mechanics

🪽 The Angel Mace (Celestial & Utility)

Level 1 — Astral Projection: Right-click to depart your physical frame! Enter a 10-second Spectator Mode to scout enemy lines. If your physical body is attacked, you immediately snap back. If it takes a fatal blow, trigger an automatic Angel Resurrection to restore your life and take flight!
Level 2 — Beyond Potential: Unleash creative-style flight for 10 seconds, leaving a vortex of wind trails behind you. Upon expiration, explode violently to blow back your pursuers—with built-in fall damage protection!
Level 3 — Angel Shower: Command an orbital bombardment, striking all nearby entities with cascading lightning matrices.
Bonus Action — Angel Beam: Right-clicking while flying or resurrected shoots a 30-block energy beam, dealing precision instant damage.

💨 The Breeze Mace (Kinetic & Agility)

Level 1 — Wind Burst: Right-click to launch yourself forward/upward into the sky using raw kinetic velocity. Full fall-damage immunity included!
Level 2 — Thunderous Smash: Landing a smash attack from a fall distance strikes your target with real lightning, multiplying damage scales based on how high you fell.
Level 3 — Cloud Jump: Drop a massive shockwave circle beneath you, leaping extraordinarily high. When you finally hit the deck, a heavy kinetic explosion clears out the battlefield.

🩸 The Damage Mace (Raw Power & Berserker)

Level 1 — Heavy Criticals: Passively scales an extra +15 flat physical damage onto your base hits, spawning heavy particle trails.
Level 2 — Adrenaline Rush: Right-click to inject yourself with a 20-second burst of Strength II and Speed II to turn the tide of an asymmetric fight.
Level 3 — Absolute Strength: Arm an absolute blow. Your next successful attack bypasses standard calculations to instantly strike for 250.0 damage, vaporizing your opponent in a flash of thunder.
