Warrior Classes

WarriorClasses is a lightweight, high-performance RPG class plugin designed for Paper and Purpur (1.21.1+). Built specifically for survival and RPG servers that need deep player progression and balanced combat mechanics, and strict anti-farm limits. This plugin was created because I needed a classic warrior-class RPG solution on my own server, one that would offer real content to develop and differentiate those classes, with distinct, progressive effects and abilities that give players a genuine RPG server experience. It can be complemented with other plugins designed to provide that kind of experience, such as race plugins and dungeon and mob plugins. Now, while the general reason I created this plugin is the one I mentioned, the specific reason to use this one rather than an existing alternative is efficiency and resource usage. Other similar solutions radically alter the game and consume resources that must be shared with other plugins; a heavy, radical solution isn’t for everyone, especially if you want a less steep learning curve and adaptation process for new players.

• Open Beta Notice: This plugin is currently in Open Beta! All features, skills, and mechanics are fully functional. Feel free to test it, use it on your server, and report any feedback or bugs in our Discussion thread.
