Lycohism

# Lycohism **Lycohism** is a server-side survival expansion for **Spigot and Paper** servers. It adds a layer of **nature magic, living tools, base growth, exploration and long-term progression** on top of vanilla survival. No client-side mod is required. Players still play survival normally: chop trees, mine, build a home and explore the world. As they play, the world starts to respond to **time, weather, moon phase and location**. Morning grass, rainy riversides, full-moon nights, mountains, caves, the Nether and expedition worlds can all produce different materials when the right conditions are met. ## Core loop **Observe nature → harvest phenomena → craft tools → repair facilities → store radiance → explore expeditions → challenge the Eclipse Warden → upgrade your base further** ## Features ### Natural phenomena The world gains harvestable materials that respond to vanilla conditions. Examples: * Morning Dew * Rain Breath * Moon Dew * Wind Trace * Leyline Sand * Flower Vein * Moss Bloom * Ember Bloom * Radiant Ore * Sun Core * Moon Core * Eclipse Crystal Most of this system is data-driven through YAML config files, so server owners can adjust many drop rates, conditions and values without rebuilding the plugin. ### Living tools Craft tools that make survival smoother while keeping the vanilla rhythm. Examples: * Dewlight Vial * Wind Vane * Leyline Probe * Flower Bookmark * Stonework Hammer * Building Wand * Moon Pouch * Solar Pickaxe * Radiant Focus Each tool has a clear survival purpose. The goal is to make exploration, building, farming and progression feel better without turning the game into a pure tech mod. ### Base facilities Repair and upgrade three home facilities: * Workshop * Study * Greenhouse Facilities start at Lv1. Higher levels require structure upgrades, radiance and later boss progression. ### Sun and moon radiance Players can gather **Sunlight** during the day and **Moonlight** during the night by standing under the open sky. Radiance can overflow into Energy Crystals, move through towers and relays, then be stored in a Radiance Nexus. It is used for facility upgrades, tools, altar crafting and automation. ### Base automation Lycohism currently includes several base machines: * Attunement Engine * Seedling Cultivator * Phenomenon Condenser They connect to a Nexus, pull inputs from containers and process materials by spending radiance. ### Expedition worlds and exploration Progression eventually opens expedition and exploration content: * Rainfall Forest * Moonless Waste * Tidal Depths * Eclipse Realm * Sealed Shrines * Infernal Ruins * Eclipse Warden boss line Expeditions are persistent server worlds designed to extend survival progression without requiring a client-side modpack. ### Path of Attunement Lycohism includes a progression path mapped onto vanilla advancements. It gives players a rough direction for the next step without revealing the whole system at once. ## How to start The first interaction most players need to know: **Sneak + empty hand + right-click a crafting table** to open the Workshop.

Most major systems are already playable, including natural phenomena, tools, facilities, radiance, automation, expeditions, structures and boss progression. Each development release is tested in game before publishing. The plugin has not yet gone through a long-term public multiplayer server run, so bugs, balance changes and data adjustments should still be expected. Feedback from survival servers is welcome. ## License Lycohism is released under **TinyYana Universal Software License v1.0**. In short: you may use and modify it, but you may not claim the plugin as your own work or use it as the core of a monetized product or paid service without prior written permission from TinyYana.
