Unstable Ban

# 💀 Unstable Ban — Minecraft Plugin **Unstable Ban** brings **true hardcore vibes** to your Minecraft server by turning **player deaths into bans**. Every life counts — **one mistake and you're out**. It functions just like the **banning system on Unstable SMP**, with a **few additional features**, but it's **fully configurable** to behave *exactly* like **Unstable SMP** if desired. --- ## ⚡ Core Idea Death is no longer just a setback. * You don't respawn * You don't keep playing * You get **banned** Whether temporary or permanent — **death finally means something**. --- ## 💬 What Happens When a Player Dies * The plugin **detects the death instantly** * A **ban command is sent to LibertyBans** * The player is **automatically banned** * A **Wither spawn sound** plays * Nearby players **see the death message and hear the sound** (configurable radius) * The player sees a **custom ban reason** (killer or natural cause) ```yaml # The radius in which the death message/sound will be seen/heard when someone dies. 1 = 1 Block death-radius: 1000 # Should the plugin send a death message in the chat and/or play a sound when someone dies ONLY IN THE ASSIGNED RADIUS? death-message: true death-sound: true # Only use sounds that are listed in https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Sound.html death-sound-type: ENTITY_WITHER_SPAWN # The reason the player should see if he dies # %player% = the name of the player who died # %killer% = the name of the player who killed the player (if there is one) # %banCount% = the amount of bans the player has after being killed ban-reason: "You were killed by %killer%!" # when there is no killer, the player should see this message ban-reason-natural-causes: "You died!" ``` No delays. No loopholes. Just **pure consequences**. --- ## ⏳ Ban Progression System Unstable Ban supports **escalating ban durations**, just like on **Unstable SMP**. ```yaml # m = minutes, h = hours, d = days, mo = months # for permanent bans, delete all durations except the first one and set it to "perm" ban-durations: - "10m" - "1h" - "6h" - "24h" - "7d" # Should a players bans be reset after the last/longest ban time ban-durations-last-reset: true ``` Each death increases the punishment. After reaching the longest duration, bans can automatically reset (optional). Survive longer — or **pay the price**. --- ## 🔄 Earn Your Way Back In If you're using **temporary bans**, players can **reduce their ban counter** in two ways. ### ⏱️ By Spending Time on the Server ```yaml # Should someone lose one ban after a certain time period? lose-ban-after-time: true # s = seconds, m = minutes, h = hours, d = days lose-ban-after-duration: "2h" # use -1 to remove all bans after the time period lose-ban-amount: 1 ``` If a player is on ban level 2 and the time passes, they'll drop back to ban level 1 — meaning **shorter bans next time**. When they join while this system is active, a **boss bar countdown** shows the remaining time. ```yaml # the color of the countdown boss bar countdown-bossbar-color: "RED" # The title on top of the boss bar # Use %time% to show the remaining time until the next ban is removed countdown-bossbar-title: "§cYou will lose one ban in %time%" ``` --- ### ⚔️ By Killing Other Players High risk. High reward. ```yaml # Should someone lose ban(s) after getting a kill? lose-ban-after-kill: true # use -1 to remove all bans after the time period lose-ban-amount-on-kill: -1 ``` One kill can **wipe all previous bans** — if you're brave enough. --- ## 🧠 Why Unstable Ban Is Different * **Death = Consequence** * **Escalating punishments** * **Redemption through skill or patience** * **Public deaths with sound & messages** * **Full logging & moderation transparency** * **Fully configurable hardcore experience** It's not just a plugin — it's **a ruleset for tension**. --- ### 📢 Join & Leave Radius Control Join and leave messages can also be limited to a specific radius. ```yaml # Should leave messages only be sent to players in a certain radius around the player who left? leave-msg-radius-enabled: true leave-msg-radius: 1000 # Should join messages only be sent to players in a certain radius around the player who joined? join-msg-radius-enabled: true join-msg-radius: 1000 ``` --- ## 🎮 Perfect For * Hardcore SMPs * Competitive survival servers * Events & challenges * Content creators * Servers that want **real stakes** Every fight matters. Every heart matters. Every decision matters. --- ## 📋 Commands — Unstable Ban | Command | Function | Permission | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------- | | `/unstableban bans` | Check your current ban count | Player | | `/ub bans` | Alias for `/unstableban bans` | Player | | `/unstableban togg
