The six relics

Storm, Inferno, Void, Gravity, Blood and Orbital: every active, passive and default number.

Every relic has a right-click active with its own cooldown and a passive that works while you carry it. Hover the relic in your inventory to see both on its tooltip.

Lite ships Storm and Inferno. PRO adds Void, Gravity, Blood and Orbital, and lets you build your own from PRO 1.1.0.

All numbers below are the defaults from config.yml. Damage and healing are in half-hearts.

• Active: a lightning barrage on the block you aim at. Five bolts land four ticks apart, scattered around the target. Each bolt hurts and knocks back enemies near it

Tune a relic

Every relic lives under relics: in config.yml. This is the Storm Relic as shipped:

plugins/RelicsSMP/config.yml

relics:
  storm:
    material: BREEZE_ROD
    bossbar-color: YELLOW
    cooldown-seconds: 25
    passive:
      effects: ["SPEED:0"]
    ability:
      range: 32
      strikes: 5
      spread: 3
      radius: 3
      damage: 4
      knockback: 1.2

Key	What it does
material	The relic’s item, as a Bukkit material name. An invalid name falls back to the shipped item
bossbar-color	PINK, BLUE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, PURPLE or WHITE
cooldown-seconds	Seconds between casts. Must be above 0
passive.effects	Potion effects while carried, as NAME or NAME:amplifier. Amplifier 0 is level I, up to 9
passive.no-fall-damage	true cancels fall damage while carried
passive.lifesteal-percent	Percent of melee damage that heals you, 0 to 100
ability.*	The power’s numbers from the tables above. Each must be above 0

Any relic can use any passive key. You could give Storm lifesteal or Orbital no fall damage. Effect names are Minecraft ids such as SPEED, JUMP_BOOST, FIRE_RESISTANCE, RESISTANCE, STRENGTH or SLOWNESS.

A bad value never stops the plugin. It falls back to the shipped default and the console names the key. /relics admin reload tells you how many values were ignored. A material or effect name the server doesn’t know is skipped without a console line: the relic uses its shipped item, and the effect doesn’t apply.

Relic names, symbols and the active and passive lines on the tooltip live in messages.yml under relic.<id>. See Configuration.
