DifficultyManagement

Per-Player Difficulty Management

This repository is a fork of Difficulty Management by zmolahah. I am merely updating this script to work with modern versions of Minecraft and Skript.

Current Version Supported: 1.21.10

Dependencies:

Skript server plugin is required. Runs on Paper or Purpur.

Description:

This server-side plugin allows players to choose their own difficulty on a per-user basis. These settings do not conflict, and allow each user to play how they want to play!

Features:

• Allows each player to set their own difficulty, and each can be set differently at the same time.
• Compatible with your favorite permissions plugin.
• Highly configurable, tailor your own experience.
• Supports not just Easy, Normal and Hard, but also Peaceful and Hardcore (for the insane).
• PvE only! Does not impact PvP damage, nor will it conflict with PvP plugins.

Installation:

1. Download Skript and drop the .jar file in your server's plugins folder.
2. Run your server to create the Skript folder, move difficultyManagement.sk into \plugins\Skript\scripts directory
3. Stop the server
4. Edit server-properties so that difficulty=hard
5. Restart the server

Note: This plugin requires that your server difficulty be set to hard, as it works by utilizing hard difficulity stats and scaling down mob damage and hunger if otherwise set to lower difficulty.

*Player is server banned upon death.

Configuration:

• [default:normal] Default Difficulty - (peaceful, easy, normal, hard, hardcore) This is what new players difficulty will be set to
• [default:false] Zombies Break Doors - (true or false) if enabled zombies will be able to break doors
• [default:false] Use Permissions - (true or false) if enabled players will require a permission node to set their difficulty. See permissions
• [default:false] Require OP - (true or false) if enabled only people with OP can set their own difficulty
• Permission Message - type your own permission message for if the person is not OP or does not have permission. Requires Require OP or Use Permissions to take effect
• Hardcore Ban Message - type your own message to display to players who get banned when they die in hardcore mode
• [default:false] Disable PVP in Peaceful - if enabled you will not be able to attack or be attacked by players while in peaceful
