EffectMayhem

Every hour, your fate shifts — powered by your Chrono.

Effect Mayhem introduces a dynamic, per-player effect system driven by a risk-based Chrono economy. Fight well, build momentum, and tilt the odds in your favor — or fall behind and embrace the chaos.

Designed for competitive PvP servers that want controlled unpredictability.

⚔ How It Works

• Every player has a personal stat called Chrono
• Chrono increases when you kill players
• Chrono decreases when you die
• Every set interval (default: 1 hour), each player receives a random potion effect
• The type, duration, and amplifier of the effect depend on that player's Chrono

Your performance shapes your destiny.

💎Chrono System

• +1 Chrono per kill (configurable)
• -1 Chrono per death (configurable)
• Chrono ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity
• Chrono persists across server restarts

High Chrono → More likely beneficial effects Low Chrono → More likely harmful effects Neutral Chrono → Balanced chaos

The scaling curve is smooth and tunable via configuration.

🧪 Effect Scaling Model

Effect Mayhem uses a mathematical scaling system: scale = chrono / (|chrono| + k)

Where:

• k is configurable
• Higher k = slower scaling
• Lower k = faster, more extreme outcomes

This creates a smooth risk-reward curve instead of sudden jumps.

🛠 Commands

• /chrono check → View your current Chrono

• /chrono give <player> <amount>

• /chrono take <player> <amount>

→ Admin control (permission: effectmayhem.admin)

⚙ Configuration

# Effect Mayhem Configuration
# Amount of chrono gained or lost after killing/dying respectively
chrono:
  kill-reward: 3
  death-penalty: 2

# Used for scaling effect type probabilities (higher = slower scaling)
k-value: 40.0

# Interval between each per-player effect add event
interval-seconds: 120

Everything is configurable:

• Reward values
• Scaling sensitivity
• Effect interval timing

🔥 Perfect For

• Competitive PvP servers

• Hardcore survival servers

• Event servers

• Chaos-themed gamemodes

• Risk/reward gameplay systems
