Relics SMP

Six one-of-a-kind power relics for Paper. Hold one and the whole server hunts you.

Relics SMP puts legendary relics on your server, and only one copy of each. Claim one from its altar and you get a right-click power and a passive buff. You also get a boss bar with your name on it, on every player’s screen.

Every few minutes the holder glows and their coordinates go to chat. Kill them and the relic drops where they fell. Log out to hide and it waits for you, then flies home to its altar. Relics can’t be stored, stashed or copied.

Gems plugins give everyone a gem. Relics SMP gives your server one.

What it does

• One of each. Every relic exists once on the whole server
• Altars. The relic floats over its altar with a beam until the first player right-clicks it
• Nowhere to hide. A boss bar names every holder. Timed reveals make holders glow and post their coordinates
• Earned, not kept. Relics drop where you die, even with keepInventory on
• No logout cheese. Log out with a relic and it waits 10 minutes, then goes home
• No stashing. Chests, ender chests, shulker boxes, hoppers, bundles, item frames and armor stands all refuse it. Copies crumble to dust
• Fair fights. Powers switch off where PvP is off: world PvP, WorldGuard regions, listed worlds and the spawn area
• Relic board. /relics shows every relic’s status, holder, last-seen spot and cooldown
• Yours to tune. Every number in config.yml, every line in messages.yml (MiniMessage), plus every sound, particle, title and boss bar colour
