ArmorWeight

ArmorWeight adds weight to your armor! Heavier armor makes the player more immovable and slower. Decide twice if you want that heavy but strong diamond armor or if that swift leather armor would be better.

Main Features

  • Balance armor types! Strong armor now gets nerft by making the player slower and more immovable. Also, this increases the power of horses, as you keep your speed on them.
  • More realism! Add realism to fights and duels on your server.
  • More strategy! Tanky or good at escaping? Your players will have to decide and makeup strategies!
  • No mods / use of potion effects needed!
  • Fully configurable! Change every value and message for this plugin!
  • Supports Forge items! Just add the mod Material names to the config file and it will just work! Mod armor tutorial

Commands

/weight [player] Get the weight of a player
/armorweight<help;reload> Displays generic plugin help or reloads the plugin

How weight works

  • A "normal" Minecraft player weighs 100
  • Less weight (e.g. 80) means lighter (= faster)
  • More weight (e.g. 120) means heavier (= slower)
  • Player weight = normal weight + armor weight
  • A "normal" Minecraft horse weighs 500
  • Horse weight = normal weight + rider (player) weight + armor weight

Metrics

Since version 0.3.13 this plugin sends statistics data to bstats.org (respectively before 0.3.13 to mcstats.org). To disable this, set the value "metricsEnabled" config.yml to "false".

Cauldron Servers

If you get an exception regarding horse speeds on Cauldron, disable the horse speed effect.

Compatibility

ArmorWeight should work with all plugins that do not change the player or horse speeds. There are known compatibility issues when also having the plugin ZHorse installed. Disable the horse speed effect when using it.

If you encounter a plugin that is not compatible, please leave a comment I and will get to it.
