Version: v1.0

HardcoreAdventure brings hardcore to any number of worlds. Hardcore basically provides each user with a set number of lives. If the lives run out, then they are transported to a separate location. Some of the features included in this build:

customization of lives (default 1)
enable/disable hardcore mode
- Hardcore mode is also known as adventures.
- If an adventure is started, then lives are monitored and stats are tracked. Also players will not be able to join (only admins can add after an adventure starts)
- If the adventure has not begun, then any player can join the adventure if they have permissions
set the respawn location of people that lose all their lives
track stats of players
- level
- blocks destroyed
- blocks placed
- monsters killed
- total experience
- diamond ore destroyed
- meters traveled
- creepers killed
- animals killed
track highscores for each stat tracked
track a players best score (because when you die all your stats are reset)
achievements for stats (each achievement grants a user a customizable item (dragon egg by default))
- 3 levels (gold, silver bronze)
- gold grants 3 items, silver 2 items, and bronze 1 item
Use 7 (customizable) dragon eggs to revive a player that is not currently alive
Multiworld support (can have any number of worlds, or all worlds if no world is specified)
Permisisons support (Currently tested with PermissionsEx)

Description

The logic behind the plugin is to set up adventures in worlds. Those that are not apart of the adventure are not impacted by the plugin.

Players join the adventure or are added to the adventure. If the adventure has already started, then a player must be added and cannot join.

Upon load of the plugin, 4 files are generated: config.yml, players.yml, highscores.yml, and personalbest.yml.

config.yml is basic configuration of the plugin. It contains details about basic configuration such as default lives, achievement values, world names, and whether an adventure has started or not.

players.yml contains the player data as well as statistical data. If a player loses all of their lives, they are removed from this file.

highscores.yml contains the top scores for each stat.

personalbest.yml contains all the personal best stats for each player even if they had died.

Installation Guide

Copy the HardcoreAdventure.jar to your plugins directory
Run /reload or restart the server
Depending on how you want your world set up, you can either have all worlds participate or only select worlds. To add select worlds use /hcadv addworld [worldname] to add a world to the list. You can also use /hcadv removeworld [worldname] to remove. In the server that I play on, we set up the server to have two worlds on the list: HardcoreAdventure and HardcoreAdventure_nether. In order to do this we used the plugin 'multiverse'. If no worlds are added, then all worlds are assumed to be hardcore.
/hcadv setrespawn
- Designates the respawn location for players that have lost all of their lives. In the server I play on, we configured to have a separate world as a respawn location. I recommend creating a separate world, such as a purgatory world where all dead players will be sent to.
/hcadv setlives #
- Designates the number of lives each player starts with when they join the adventure (by default this is set to 1)

Once these steps are done, then you are about ready. All that is left is for players to join an adventure or add players to the adventure by using either of the commands /hcadv add [playername] or /hcadv join [playername]. In version 1.1, I plan on adding auto join for players that are new to automatically join the adventure.

Once you have adventurers, then you can start playing using the command /hcadv start. You can stop tracking stats and lives at any time by using the command /hcadv stop.

With the adventure started, stats are recorded and highscores are updated in real time. When a player loses all of their lives, then all of their stats are wiped, and they are removed from the adventure and sent to the default spawn location.

There are two ways to add a player while an adventure is active:

use the command /hcadv add [player]
Collect 7 (7 is default) dragon eggs (is default) and use the command /hcadv revive $player$ (reviving a player will set that players lives to the default lives)

You collect dragon eggs by completing achievements.

Although it is not required, I recommend using this plugin alongside with multiverse.

I hope everyone likes the plugin and check out the plugin in action at: 'play.efcraft.net'
