Upgrading Core +
This plugin is an up-to-date remake of the plugin Upgrading Code
Features
- Entities drop cores that you can upgrade selected items with
- Items can be upgraded up to 6 (or more if specified in the config) levels
- many configuration options
- every in-game text is localizable
- fully customizable lore
How to use
Depending on the configuration, certain mobs will drop certain cores. You can right-click this core to update an Item. Each core may only be used for certain Item-types (again, configurable).
Once upgraded, the Item gains permanent armor (if it's an armor item such as chest plates, leggings, e.t.c.) or damage (for swords, axes or other aggressive items)
The update-menu is quite simple to understand. Simply put the core in the slot that is surrounded by orange glass-panes on the left side and the item to upgrade in the slot that is surrounded by orange glass-panes on the right side. After that, you can click on the anvil on the bottom of the menu to forge the core into the item.
Commands
/getcore <Name> [<amount>] - gets one or more cores with a certain name - permission 'uc.get'
/ucreload - reloads the config - permission 'uc.reload'
/listcores - lists all aailable cores - permission 'uc.list'
Permissions
uc.drop.<core name> - determines if a core should drop from a mob when killed by a player
uc.upgrade.<core name> - determines if a player can upgrade an item with a certain core
Configuration
This is the default configuration that will be generated if none is present. It should be fairly self-explanatory:
Entity-options: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/entity/EntityType.html
available materials: TURTLE, TRIDENT, WOOD, STONE, LEATHER, CHAIN_MAIL, IRON, GOLD, DIAMOND, NETHERITE
colors: https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/ChatColor.html
If the version is 1.16.1+, the color may also be in the format '#rrggbb'
Localization
This plugin has native support for English (option 'en-us') and German (option 'de-de'). The language can be chosen by setting the 'locale'-option in the config.
Every in-game-text can be localized. If you wish to add another language, you will have to put a valid '.lang'-file inside the plugin-folder. You can take this default language as a hint on how to write this file:
If you encounter any Bugs/Glitches/Unexpected behavior/typos please let me know in the discussion section.
Lore
The lore of every core is fully customizable. You have two options; you can have localized lore and non-localized lore.
If you choose to localize the lore, the plugin will attempt to find the strings you provided inside the current locale-file. For example, if you choose 'uc.description1' as the first line and have 'en-us' as your language selected, the lore will read 'An item that can be used to upgrade your weapons'. If you would have chosen 'de-de' as your language setting, the lore would have started with 'Kann benutzt werden, um Rüstung/Waffen zu verbessern'
If you do not want to localize the lore in that way, you can simply enter any text you want. However, note that you also have to add the config-option 'localizeLore' and set it to false. You can still use the special string '{materials}' to display a list of all materials that can be upgraded using this core.
Planned features:
- Better looking GUI
- multiple language-support
- more permissions
- a chance for an upgrade process to fail
- add more weapons (shovels, pickaxes, tridents, e.t.c)

Lore
The lore of every core is fully customizable. You have two options; you can have localized lore and non-localized lore.
If you choose to localize the lore, the plugin will attempt to find the strings you provided inside the current locale-file. For example, if you choose 'uc.description1' as the first line and have 'en-us' as your language selected, the lore will read 'An item that can be used to upgrade your weapons'. If you would have chosen 'de-de' as your language setting, the lore would have started with 'Kann benutzt werden, um Rüstung/Waffen zu verbessern'
If you do not want to localize the lore in that way, you can simply enter any text you want. However, note that you also have to add the config-option 'localizeLore' and set it to false. You can still use the special string '{materials}' to display a list of all materials that can be upgraded using this core.
Planned features:
- Better looking GUI
- multiple language-support
- more permissions
- a chance for an upgrade process to fail
- add more weapons (shovels, pickaxes, tridents, e.t.c)
