Project NARCISSUS: The Final Solution to Low Self-Esteem
Are your players suffering from Generic Minecraft Silence (GMS)? Do they place blocks without being told they are architectural deities?
The Framework solves this by implementing a heuristic-driven psycho-acoustic feedback loop. It monitors every mundane action your players take and recontextualizes it as a legendary feat of human excellence using procedurally generated, gradient-colored affirmations.
✨ Features
This plugin listens for 9 diverse triggers and rewards players with scientifically optimized compliments.
- Tactile Feedback Loop (Inventory click): Celebrates the profound act of moving an item from Slot A to Slot B.
- Motion Worshipper (Sprint/Sneak): Validates velocity changes via the Action Bar.
- Pain Rebranding Initiative (Damage): Recontextualizes taking damage as "demonstrating structural integrity."
- EXP Vacuum (XP Pickup): Treats experience orbs as "raw data ingestion" with particle effects.
- Block Interaction Celebrator (Place/Break): Occasionally displays dramatic titles for placing dirt.
- Nutritional Excellence Observer (Eating): Praises metabolic efficiency.
- Magnificent Arrival (Join): Welcomes players like returning kings.
- Linguistic Appreciation (Chat): Validates chat messages as literary gold.
- Ambient Validation (BossBar): A permanent / rotating BossBar that reminds players they are statistically significant.
- RGB Gradients: All messages use Adventure MiniMessage gradients.
- 28+ Presets: Includes "Cosmic", "Aurora", "Sunset", "Coral", and more.
- 90 Billion Combinations: Vocabulary expanded to 1,000+ scientific/hyperbolic words to ensure unique compliments.
Every aspect of the experiment is configurable in config.yml. You can toggle specific triggers, change gradient styles, or disable specific sound effects.
