Deadly Disasters
PRO Version:
As this plugin has turned into more than just a challenge plugin I am introducing a pro version that has more customization and optimization for bigger servers and of course more content as a bonus. The development will still continue for the free version but at a slower rate and eventually, some pro features will drop down to the free version. Some of the pro features include:
-Block stability mechanic where you can configure different blocks and materials to be resistant to disasters and actually build survival bases
-Regenerating worlds, blocks damaged by disasters will naturally regenerate over time (Fully configurable)
-Custom mobs naturally spawning in worlds and fully configurable rates in the config
-New disasters such as Solar Storms
-New custom mobs, items, and enchants
-Serious amounts of customization in the config for optimization and survival features
-And much more
Check out the pro version here.
What's new in V9.2?
-Disaster tips for each disaster
-Lots of bug fixes
-New commands to summon mobs and disasters at coordinates
-Some new config features
-Blizzards now don't freeze strays and polar bears
-Each piece of leather armor now nullifies some damage from blizzard freezing instead of just the whole set
Deadly Disasters
Adds naturally occurring disasters to the game to make it more challenging. This is a really hard survival challenge and is really difficult. Most disasters have different levels of severity (levels 1-6).
Check out these awesome videos of the plugin!
Check out the video above to see some of the pro features!
There are currently 4 difficulty levels in the plugin:
EASY
NORMAL
HARD
EXTREME
CUSTOM
Each difficulty level has its own settings (Time, Offsets, Chances, Etc.) and each world has its own difficulty level that can be changed with commands. Custom difficulty overrides the values with your own custom settings in the worlds.yml file, every time an admin switches worlds they will get a message notifying them of the world's difficulty level (This can be changed in the config).
(Level 6 disasters can be disabled via commands or config if desired, level 6 events can cause major lag)
Every natural disaster has custom death messages but when the server is restarted or reloaded will clear the memory of old earthquakes and sinkholes, mobs will only freeze above surface level during blizzards to prevent major lag.
Keep in mind that this plugin was developed for 1.16 and above so earlier version support may be very laggy!
Config Options:
worlds.yml:
Languages:
This plugin now supports multiple languages, simply in-game use (/disasters language <language>), and most things will be translated. The languages currently supported are:
- English
- Chinese (Translations by KPC123)
Discord:
I have a discord server you can join if you need any help with the plugin or API to get fast support. You can also make suggestions for future updates! https://discord.gg/MhXFj72VeN
World Guard:
This plugin has a soft depend on world guard so you can protect your regions, world guard is not required and if you use world guard but do not want region protection you can disable the feature in the config. If world guard protection is enabled and you have world guard installed then disasters will not occur on or damage any regions regardless of flags. WARNING disasters might damage regions if they are not expanded vertically.
CoreProtect:
This plugin has a soft depend on CoreProtect so you can roll back any damage caused by disasters under the user "deadly-disasters". CoreProtect is completely optional and the plugin will work just fine without it. Note that blocks damaged after a disaster will not be logged by the user "deadly-disasters" such as leaves decaying from missing trees. Entities that are killed by disasters will not be rolled back as the API does not support this.
Towny:
This plugin has a soft depend on Towny and will not damage any claimed regions that are expanded vertically!
GriefPrevention:
This plugin has a soft depend on GriefPrevention and will not damage any claimed regions.
Lands:
This plugin has a soft depend on Lands and will not damage any claimed regions.
RealisticSeasons:
This plugin has a soft depend on RealisticSeasons so you can control the temperature and which disasters spawn on which seasons. When the plugin detects RealisticSeasons a file will be created to control the settings (seasons.yml) in the same folder as the config.
API:
This plugin has an accessible API which you can use to start disasters or listen for disasters in your own plugins, the documentation is here.
Custom Disasters:
Custom disasters are the newest feature in V9.0 letting players create their own disasters with a variety of tools. Players can then submit their disasters to the discord which then if verified will be added to the in-game disasters catalog (/disasters catalog) for anyone to download and install! This link leads to the guide on how to create your own custom disasters. There is fast and good support on the discord too if you need any help.
[PRO] Regenerating Worlds:
Blocks destroyed by disasters can now automatically regenerate over time, keep in mind world's disaster difficulty level must be set to CUSTOM. In the worlds.yml file you can configure the regen delay after disasters and in the config you can modify for each disaster the rate of regeneration. Keep in mind that this feature is new and in beta so some blocks may not repair and some may even duplicate! Use at your own risk and please report bugs to the discord.
[PRO] Block Stability:
You can configure in blocks.yml the resistance of materials and blocks to disasters, many materials are already pre-listed, and if a material you want is missing just add it in with its F3 in-game name. Block strengths vary from 0.0-1.0 where 0.0 means it will always be broken and 1.0 means it is indestructible for disasters.

Every physical entity attack has a chance to activate a yeti roar that will knock back and freeze all entities caught in its radius. Yeti's blessing can be applied to any type of chest plate and wearing armor with this enchant also provides protection from freezing in snowstorms. There are three levels of yeti's blessing each gained by combining more yeti fur to your chest plate, higher levels mean increased radius and chance of a yeti roar activating, also provides increased protection to snowstorm freezing (2 pieces of leather armor at level 1, +1 piece of armor per level after, full protection being at level 3).

Hello! what if i use a plugin called "GriefPrevention" instead of world guard?
Will the land that we claim be affected by the disasters or not?
Please reply Thanks!
In reply to v1ad1y:
Currently, there is only support for World Guard so no, maybe in the future probably not because their API is outdated.
In reply to jewishbananas:
oh ok thanks!
Does this plugin feature any type of per world settings? would love to test this plugin but don't want to risk/destroy my main world if possible. please and thanks.
In reply to kamikazifrosty:
Yes it does, it has a blacklisted worlds feature in the config that will prevent disasters from naturally occurring in these worlds. Keep in mind that admins can still spawn disasters in these worlds using commands. The format for the config is as follows:
blacklisted_worlds: [world1, world2, anotherworld]
Can you please write an example of the commands
/disasters mintimer <seconds> - sets the minimum time in seconds for a natural disaster to have a chance of occuring, default is 90 (Very difficult!).
/disasters <enable | disable> <all | maxlevels | disaster> - toggle all disasters from occurring or toggle level 6 disasters from occurring (level 6 disasters will convert to level 5's) or toggle a specific disaster.
-/disasters <enable | disable> all - This is the command to toggle on or off all disasters from naturally occurring
/disasters <enable | disable> eventmsg - enable or disable the broadcasting of natural disasters occurring.
Because when I write it nothing happens :/
I managed to enable with /disasters enable all but else nothing :\
And do I have to install WorldGuard or is it just better?
In reply to burgerbob75:
World guard is not necessary and is only needed if you want to have zones protected from disasters occurring. All of the commands have auto tab-completion in-game, here are examples for the commands:
/disasters enable all - toggle on or off all disasters
/disasters enable maxlevels - toggle on or off level 6 disasters
/disasters mintimer 120 - every 120 seconds a disaster has a chance of occurring at a random player (this is an individual timer for each player)
/disasters start sinkhole - will start a random level sinkhole under you
/disasters start sinkhole 5 - will start a level 5 sinkhole under you
/disasters disable eventmsg - disables the message that is broadcast when a disasters occurs
In reply to jewishbananas:
Thank you :) but can I like change mintimer for other players for example I am op but I want all of the players to have the same mintimer (for example 100) or do they have to do a /disasters mintimer 100??
And can I start something (for example sinkhole) under other players??
In reply to burgerbob75:
The mintimer command changes it for all players so no they do not need to all type that command and no currently there is no way to start disasters under other players only yourself at the moment the only disasters you could start at other players are acid storms, blizzards, and extreme winds because that is across the world you are currently in.
In reply to jewishbananas:
Thank you 🤗
For Blacklisted worlds
blacklisted_worlds: []
Is this acceptable formatting?
blacklisted_worlds:
- PartyGames
- Spawn
- IRWorld
- dev
- Survival
In reply to cecilyfox:
The format would be:
blacklisted_worlds: [PartyGames, Spawn, IRWorld, dev, Survival]
Keep in mind that disasters can still be spawned in these worlds by commands which can only be used by admins.
In reply to jewishbananas:
Ok tysm!
That is the original config I set, however I guess we were able to spawn them in blacklisted world because we were opped lol.
Also can you please allow for an area equal to the worldborder to have random disasters, or just near players and not on top of them? ty ty
In reply to Kornixz:
I was thinking of that but then almost all the disasters won't affect the players but just destroy their builds which wouldn't be much fun, perhaps I will look into making that an optional feature.
Using spigot and no other plugins, 1.16.4, and extreme winds and tornadoes didnt pick me up. Got thousands of this error in the console.
[20:27:05] [Server thread/WARN]: [DeadlyDisasters] Task #3 for DeadlyDisasters v2.0 generated an exception
Note: also happens with craftbukkit, paper, and 1.16.5 paper and craftbukkit. Also, tornadoes don't actually "pick" any blocks up, they just duplicate them and shove them around. Is this a bug?java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sk89q/worldedit/bukkit/BukkitAdapter

In reply to Kornixz:
This was a bug with V2.0 and was fixed in V2.1
PraxicLIVE just had a config error which was resolved so no need to worry it is fixed in the latest version
In reply to jewishbananas:
ok, thanks.
In reply to jewishbananas:
this bug is still happening in the new version
when i do the command to start it just says /usage disasters start <disaster> [level] and nothing happens, is there something I need to do or am i doing it wrong?
