RacgoonsRods

Overview

RacgoonsRods brings a medieval social hierarchy to your Minecraft server! This plugin creates three distinct roles—Small Folk, Army, and Nobles—that change how players interact with the world, from combat to crafting.

Features

Three Unique Roles: Small Folk (commoners), Army (Knights & Archers), and Nobles
Role-Based Combat: Knights can only use melee weapons, Archers can only use ranged weapons, and Small Folk cannot attack at all
Armor Restrictions: Archers cannot craft heavy armor, while Small Folk cannot craft any armor or weapons
Sprint Control: Small Folk cannot sprint—only those in the Army or Noble roles can
Hiring System: Nobles and ops can use a special Pink Shulker to hire nearby players as Knights using gold blocks

How to Use

For Server Operators

Assigning Roles Use the /role command to give players their role:

/role <player> <role> [subrole]

Examples:

/role Steve smallfolk - Makes Steve a commoner
/role Alex army knight - Makes Alex a melee knight
/role Alex army archer - Makes Alex a ranged archer
/role Notch noble - Makes Notch a noble

Hiring Players

Rename a Shulker Shell to "Pink Shulker" (must contain both words)
Hold it in your hand
Right-click in the air to hire all nearby players within 10 blocks
Right-click a specific player to hire just them
Each hire costs 1 gold block from your inventory

For Players

Check your role anytime by typing /role with no arguments
Your role determines what you can craft, what weapons you can use, and whether you can sprint
Listen for chat messages telling you when you've been hired!

Tips & Tricks

Work together! Small Folk should stay near Army members for protection
Nobles should stock up on gold blocks if they plan to build a large army
Knights excel in close combat, while Archers should keep their distance
The hiring system only affects players who aren't already Nobles

Known Limitations

Role data is stored in memory and will reset if the server restarts (persistent storage planned for future updates)
