Survival Classes is a plugin I developed to add a new element to survival (or faction/minigame) servers. This plugin adds classes based on the armor that you are wearing. These effects are given on a timer that runs every 5 seconds. This should not cause any lag (I've tested it and noticed no extra RAM usage) You will see a bunch of small star particles if you have equipped the class correctly. Newest version adds Per-World Support in the config, also fixes various bugs, and coded more efficiently. This new version is made with the spigot server but should still work with CraftBukkit.
Here is a basic informational video of the Survival Classes plugin in its current update made by TheCraftKing. Please subscribe to his channel for more plugin tutorials and other cool videos.
Pyro does in fact work with any sword it's just a 50% chance. Diamond kit is fixed in the 2.1.1 update. The Ender kit will literally shoot an enderpearl exactly where you are pointing, even at 100 blocks away if the chunk is loaded.
