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

1. Rename a Shulker Shell to "Pink Shulker" (must contain both words)
2. Hold it in your hand
3. Right-click in the air to hire all nearby players within 10 blocks
4. Right-click a specific player to hire just them
5. 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)
