Nexus Factions

Plugin category: Mechanics/Addon For Factions Plugin

Suggested name: NexusFaction

What I want: I would like this plugin to allow a new mechanic to be added to factions. The ability to create a nexus to store your factions power. Essentially each player in the faction is a power node, and they can each store 10 power, but, a nexus can be created to store the faction's power. A small, default nexus (a block of endstone on top of a netherbrick fence, can hold 20 power. A medium nexus, (a beacon on top of a netherbrick fence), can hold 50 power. A high powered nexus, (an endercrystal, that doesn't blow up instantly, on top of a piece of bedrock, can hold 90 power. When a nexus is placed it starts with 0 power, then, depending on how many players, and the amount of players, and how fast the players regenerate their power, that is how fast the nexus will get filled with power. Whenever someone is in a 16 x 16 x 16 area, a boss bar appears at the top of their screen saying &c%factionname%'s nexus if they are an enemy, &f%factionname%'s nexus if they are neutral, &d%factioname's nexus if they are in truce, &5%factionname%'s nexus if they are an ally, and &aYour Faction's Nexus.

Players cannot build in the 16x16x20 block vicinity, despite being a member of the faction, or an enemy.
The chunk which the nexus is in is referred to as the nexus chunk, resembled on the f map with as an N.

To damage the small nexus players must mine the endstone block. A fire particle effect appears when so, and the endstone appears again instantly, with a anvil placing noise playing to all the members of the enemy faction, and the person mining the nexus. A msg saying '&cYour nexus is being attacked' every time it is attacked. The nexus then loses 3 HP, whenever it is attacked. The small nexus should have 90HP.

To claim a nexus chunk you must type /f claim n. You cannot claim any other land till you have claimed your nexus chunk. By default all factions start out with a small nexus. All claimed chunks around it should be connected to the nexus. You cannot have 2 nexuses in a faction. To upgrade the nexus type /f n upgrade.
A furnace gui saying what you need on the right side, and where you put the items in on the left side. The materials to upgrade your nexus should be configurable in the config. When that happens you either upgrade, the nexus, if there is only one item to put in, for example just 16 obsidian, but not 16 obsidian and 1 wood,or will need to put a different type of item inside the furnace gui by reopening it with /f n upgrade. You will be notified of what you need next by a msg saying '&aGood, now you need %item% to upgrade your nexus, reopen it with /f n upgrade.'

To damage the medium nexus, the enemy must mine the beacon. Mining the beacon should be as fast as mining endstone, to avoid it being too op. The medium nexus should have 120HP. Should play the same sound, and display the same msg. Whenever mined it should also lose 3HP.

To damage the high powered nexus, the enemy must hit the endercrystal with anything they have. The endercrystal does not blow up until its fully destroyed. It will only take damage from diamond tools or weapons, cannot be shot with a bow. Whenever it is hit it it takes 3HP damage. The high powered nexus has 321HP. It plays the same noise and displays the same msg when hit. When it runs out of health it explodes like a tnt explosion.

When a nexus is destroyed, the faction gets disbanded.

Ideas for commands: /f n upgrade (Upgrades Nexus)
/f n downgrade (Downgrades the Nexus, but doesn't give back the items, shows an are you sure screen)
/f n (Tells You What Level Your Nexus Is, The Power It Holds, and its HP)
/f n claim (claims nexus chunk, area in the 16x16x16 area is cleared out, and then a small nexus is placed)
/f n pickup (Picks up the nexus, but virtually, not as an item, and u can /f n claim to place it down again.
When it is picked up the enemy can overclaim)


Ideas for permissions: nexus.admin (allows you to instantly upgrade and place down nexuses) (Default OP)

When I'd like it by: Any time

Added note for /f n pickup.
When picked up, the area cleared by the nexus remains, till it is replaced, then it will regen, and a new area will be cleared.

 

Is this a copy of The Nexus? Lol.

 

No, the nexus doesn't have this.... read the whole thing

 

This seems like its own plugin in itself.

 

This is a really unique idea. It's not illegal to edit FactionsUUID code as long as you don't sell it, nor claim it all as your own.

I hope this becomes a thing and someone takes on the challenge

 

Bump

I do hope someone takes the challenge, for if this is created I believe it could be the next Hunger Games, or the next Prison.
