⚡ Temporal Decay: Living Economy & Survival Depth
Temporal Decay transforms player inventories from static storage into a dynamic resource management system. Instead of tools breaking, they gradually lose efficiency over time (even while stored in chests), creating a natural resource sink and encouraging constant interaction with the world.
🎯 Why Your Server Needs This Mod
Fight hoarding: Players can no longer craft 10 diamond swords "just in case." They must actively maintain their gear.
Exploration incentive: Repair requires resin clumps, found only in dangerous biomes (Pale Garden) or from mobs (Creakings). This restores the value of exploration.
Economy balance: Creates constant demand for resources without complex currency systems.
No item loss: Equipment never disappears—it only weakens to minimum efficiency (20%), preserving player progress while adding challenge.
💡 How It Works
Hidden degradation: Every item has a Decay value from 0 to 100. It decreases every 45 minutes of real time.
Visual feedback: Hover over items (or use F3+H) to see exact decay level and current weapon/armor stats. Color-coded indicators (green/yellow/red) instantly show item condition.
Anvil repair: Use resin clumps to restore stats. One resin clump restores +20 efficiency.
⚙️ Technical Advantages for Administrators
Full configuration: Adjust decay speed, maximum offline pause time (protects vacationing players), minimum efficiency, and repair costs.
Performance: Optimized plugin that doesn't constantly scan chunks—only processes active players and opened containers.
Compatibility: Works on Paper 26.3+, supports all standard items, armor, and tools. No conflicts with protection or economy plugins.
Localization: Automatically detects player language (Russian/English) and displays tooltips accordingly.
