⚡ TempoSMP

TempoSMP is a zero-sum, combat-speed SMP plugin built natively for Paper. Players compete for Tempo (%), an attribute governing temporal momentum, combat recovery, mobility, and survival.

Every kill steals Tempo; every death loses it. Maximize your reserves to unlock devastating combat perks, or flatline at 0% and face elimination until a teammate revives you.

⚔️ Core Mechanics

1. Zero-Sum Stealing & Elimination

• Baseline Tempo: New players start at 100% Tempo.
• PvP Kills: The killer steals +10% Tempo, and the victim loses -10% Tempo.
• Max Tempo Drops (250%): If you kill a player while already at max capacity (250%), the victim's lost 10% Tempo crystallizes into a physical Chrono Gear dropped on their corpse, while granting you +15s Absorption II and striking cosmetic lightning!
• Environmental Deaths: Dying to mobs, fall damage, lava, or the void deducts 10% Tempo and drops it as a recoverable Chrono Gear at your death point.
• ☠ Flatline Protocol (0% Tempo): Hitting 0% eliminates the player into Spectator mode until revived.
