Witherbone

Inspired by AltarSMP.

Base item: Netherite Sword Command: /witherboneblade [player] Permission: customweapons.witherboneblade (default: op) Resource Pack: Install the AltarSMP Texture Pack - this plugin set is built around it and looks/sounds as intended with it installed.

Cross-Plugin Detection (/weapons)

Every AltarSMP weapon plugin registers /weapons [player], which hands you one weapon from every other AltarSMP plugin currently installed and enabled - a live check each run, nothing to configure.

Abilities & Triggers

Trigger	Ability	What it does
Right-Click	Triple Wither Leap	Launches you forward through a burst of soul particles, ideal for closing distance fast.
Shift+Right-Click	Wither Cleansing	Removes any active Wither or Poison effects from yourself in a burst of dark soul particles.

Notes

• The weapon is bound to the player who receives it via a persistent NBT tag, so lore/name changes won't break ability detection.
• The activating player is never hit by their own ability's damage, knockback, or negative effects, even for area attacks, explosions and travelling projectiles/waves.
