Elden

Elden is a Paper/Spigot plugin that brings Elden Ring inspired RPG progression and action combat to Minecraft servers.

It is designed for servers that want more than vanilla survival or simple combat tweaks. Elden adds a darker action RPG feeling with meaningful progression, custom combat systems, class identity, persistent player data, and a growing set of gameplay systems inspired by Elden Ring.

Elden transforms Minecraft into a more challenging and rewarding RPG experience. Instead of relying only on vanilla combat and survival mechanics, players can progress through rune-based leveling, build their character around classes and attributes, discover and attune Sites of Grace, use flasks strategically in combat, fight with stamina-based systems, and expand their build through custom gear, spells, Ashes of War, and Spirit Ashes.

The goal of the plugin is not to recreate Elden Ring one-to-one, but to bring its feeling of progression, danger, exploration, and combat depth into Minecraft in a way that works well on Paper/Spigot servers.

Sites of Grace

Sites of Grace are one of the core progression systems of Elden. Players can interact with grace points to attune them, use them as checkpoints, and depending on configuration and permissions, travel between unlocked grace points. They also act as important respawn anchors and help create a world structure closer to an action RPG experience.

Elden includes a Grace GUI for interacting with Sites of Grace. This allows players to manage important grace-related actions in a more immersive and user-friendly way instead of relying only on commands.

Runes and Progression

The rune system adds a real risk-and-reward gameplay loop. Players can collect runes during gameplay, use them for progression, and lose them on death. Lost runes can be dropped into the world and recovered again by their owner, adding more tension and value to exploration and combat.

Classes and Leveling

Players can choose from Elden Ring inspired starting classes and progress further through attribute-based leveling. This makes character progression more meaningful and supports different playstyles depending on how a server wants to balance builds.

Stamina Combat

Combat is expanded far beyond vanilla Minecraft. Elden adds stamina-based combat systems that can affect attacking, sprinting, dodging, and other mechanics depending on configuration. This makes combat slower, more tactical, and more deliberate.

Dodge Mechanic

Players can perform dodge moves with stamina cost and cooldown. Optional invincibility frames can be enabled for a more authentic action RPG feel. This adds an important defensive layer to combat and rewards better timing and positioning.

Jump Attacks

Elden also includes jump attacks to make combat more dynamic and closer to the source of inspiration. This gives melee combat additional variety and impact.

Flask System

Healing is handled through flasks instead of normal vanilla healing-focused gameplay. This allows servers to create a more controlled combat flow and can make healing feel more strategic, especially when used with animations, delays, or combat pressure.

Custom Weapons and Armor

Elden supports custom weapons and armor, allowing servers to build a stronger RPG identity and a more unique equipment progression path. These items can be integrated into progression systems, rewards, drops, or shops.

Ashes of War

Ashes of War expand build variety by allowing special combat-related item systems inspired by Elden Ring. This gives more room for playstyle diversity and future content expansion.

Spirit Ashes

Spirit Ashes allow players to access summon-based mechanics inspired by Elden Ring. This adds another layer of build identity and combat variety, especially for servers that want stronger RPG class fantasy and companion-style combat options.

Elden includes a spell system to further expand player builds and combat styles. This helps support magic-focused progression paths alongside melee-oriented characters.

The smithing system gives servers a way to support gear progression and weapon improvement. This makes equipment progression feel more meaningful and fits naturally into the plugin's RPG structure.

Torrent and Spirit Springs

Elden includes a Torrent-inspired mount system for movement and exploration. Together with Spirit Springs, this helps create more dynamic traversal and a stronger open-world RPG feeling insi
