StrengthSMP Season 5

What is Strength SMP?
Strength SMP turns your survival server into a fight over power. Every player is given one of nine weapon classes when they first join, each with its own passive and a powerful ultimate. On top of that, every player has a strength value that goes up when they win fights and down when they die.

The stronger you are, the harder you hit, and only players at full strength can use their ultimate. Lose too many fights and you will be the one hunting for strength tokens.

How Strength Works

• Every player has a strength value from -3 to +5 (configurable). New players start at 0.
• Each point of strength adds half a heart of melee damage. Negative strength can lower your damage too (optional).
• When you die, you drop a Strength Token and lose 1 strength.
• Right-click a Strength Token to gain 1 strength, up to the maximum.
• Use /withdraw <amount> to turn your strength back into tokens to trade, store or give away.
• Your weapon's ultimate unlocks at strength 5. Passives work from strength 0.
• The vanilla Strength potion can be disabled so the only way to get stronger is the strength system.

The Nine Weapons
Every weapon has a passive that is always on, and an ultimate that you charge up in combat, then trigger with /ability or Shift + F.










All numbers above are the defaults and can be changed in the config.
