Survival is a PVP plugin that turns you into a "ghost" when you die. This unique feature allows players who have lost(died and become a ghost) to watch the rest of the PVP battle up close and personal.

The object of the PVP plugin is to eliminate the remaining survivors in order to win and become the sole remaining survivor. A player wins when everyone else online at the time has been killed.

The advantage of having this plugin is to allow the dead/defeated to watch the remaining battle unfold instead of simply being kicked and banned from the server until the PVP battle is over. Also this provides ghosts to have some interesting things to do while they are waiting so that they aren't bored.

While designing this plugin I kept in mind that, logically ghosts should not be permitted to pickup items, grief the world or attack others. Essentially they shouldn't be able to interfere with the on going battle.

Ghost ussage: Right clicking on an animal allows you to posses the animal's body. Alternately left clicking while in possession of an animal will allow you to separate from the animal's body.

Future Features As a ghost players will still be able to interact with a select few things that won't interfere with the actual PVP game play on the server. Here are also some planned features.

On log-in display previous winner Add a survival achievement/stats Ghosts don't trample dirt Reset to a predefined world template when someone wins Probable custom world template Fun abilities as a ghost like mind control of animals Flight & speed hax permitted only as a ghost Improved possession method(more visually and technically appealing) team pvp & in match re-spawn some configurable settings
