Primal Claws
Yet another smp plugin to spice up your 2 week minecraft phase, it's pvp focused and is based around dinosaurs. Imagine if Minecraft steve had a baby with the guys from jurrasic park. I'm getting off point here.....anyways read below.
This plugin introduces 10 unique dinosaur claws which each give 2 abilities. These claws can be given via commands, or crafted via 10 different altars. The crafting recipies can be changed via the config file, along with damage, cooldown and enabling/disabling entire dinos.
| Dino Name | Abilities |
|---|---|
| Ankylosaurus | The Defense Dino, gives a tail swing that charges up and does damage, as well as a defense state which gives Resistance 3 for a temporary amount of time. Passive Abilities Include Extra 2 Hearts. |
| Araneo | The spider dino, shoots a web at enemies and can also pull them in for attacks, usefull for straps and slowing down players. Passive Abilities Include Perma Weaving effect. |
| Dilophosaur | Venom Spit, giving poison to players. Saturation, which gives regen 2 and absorbtion to self. No Passive Abilities |
| Mosasaurus | Gives Strength 1 when ability activated, and the second ability gives dolphins grace, Passive abilities include Water Breathing while in Water |
| Patchy | Headbutt, an ability that yeets players far away, similar to if a dino heatbutted them.....duh. As well as Shield Break, which stuns shield for longer and does more durability damage than axe |
| Pteranodon | For them mace players out there, Ability 1 is Sky Slam, which launches you up into the sky for a mace attack, doesn't take fall damage on return. Ability 2 is to push another player backwards. No Passive Abilities |
| Raptor | Gives Pounce Ability, which allows you to jump towards the entity you are aiming at, Dash is Ability 2 which gives you a leap forwards no matter what, as well as giving you speed 2 afterwards. Passive Abilities include perma speed 1 |
| T-rex | Ahh yes, the best one (also the most expensive to craft) Gives you Ability to Bite players, which does massive damage as well as give bleeding afterwards. As well as the Stomp Ability, allowing you to push players back in a set radius while also doing damage. Passive Abilities include extra 5 Hearts. |
| Dodo1 | No active abilities, Passive abilities include +2 Damage when Dodo1 is nearby |
| Dodo2 | No active abilities, Passive abilities include +2 Speed when Dodo2 is nearby |
All abilities can be edited in config file, Passive Abilities can also be stacked, multiple claws can be used at the same times
