TimeSteal

# TimeSteal - A new way to play Minecraft SMPs **Time is the ultimate resource.** TimeSteal is a unique Paper/Spigot plugin for Minecraft 1.21.x. Every player starts with a limited amount of time. Run out, and it's game over. For help, updates, and community support, join my (https://discord.gg/qQGQUStR72). ## Core Features - **Time as life:** Your remaining time is displayed in-game. When it hits zero, your configured punishment is applied. - **PvP stealing:** Defeat other players to steal part of their time. - **Crafting and trading:** Collect rare Time Shards to craft Hourglasses, trade time, or store it safely. - **Risk and reward:** Infuse swords with shards to steal more time in battle. If you die, your stored Hourglasses are lost. - **Configurable action bar:** Show the time display in the action bar, customize the format, disable it in config, or manage it in-game with a command. - **Placeholder support:** Use TimeSteal placeholders in supported display plugins via PlaceholderAPI. - **Plugin-owned punishments:** Out-of-time and combat-log punishments are stored by TimeSteal itself in the plugin folder. This creates constant tension, strategy, and unforgettable SMP moments: betrayal, last-second saves, and epic comebacks. ## Compatibility - Built for Paper 1.21.11 - Designed for Paper/Spigot 1.21.x servers - Java 21 required - PlaceholderAPI is optional TimeSteal comes with a flexible `TimeStealSMP/config.yml` allowing you to adjust starting time, kill rewards, out-of-time behavior, shard drop rates, recipes, action bar display, punishment messages, and more. ## Commands - `/timewithdraw <amount>` - Withdraw stored time into Hourglasses in your inventory. - `/timestats ` - View your or another player's remaining time. - `/timeadmin <reset|add|set|pardon> <player> ` - Admin command to modify a player's time or clear active TimeSteal punishments. - `/timeactionbar <on|off|toggle|status|reload>` - Enable, disable, check, toggle, or reload the action bar display. ## Placeholders When PlaceholderAPI is installed, TimeSteal registers these placeholders: - `%timestealsmp_time%` - Formatted remaining time. - `%timestealsmp_remaining_seconds%` - Raw remaining seconds. - `%timestealsmp_kills%` - Player kill count tracked by TimeSteal. - `%timestealsmp_stolen%` - Formatted total stolen time. - `%timestealsmp_stolen_seconds%` - Raw total stolen seconds.
