Races Plugin

Implemented a Spigot server plugin that lets players pick between four fantasy races via /race commands, each with bespoke combat and survival perks.

• Nord: Gains +20 max health (20 hearts total) and deals ~40% more damage with axes.
• Imperial: Small speed boost and stronger sword strikes; takes half-heart damage every few seconds in desert/badlands biomes unless fully wearing gold armor.
• Altair: Higher jump and immune to fall damage; unarmed hits deal at least 5 hearts of base damage; burns through hunger faster and loses air more quickly while underwater.
• Breton: Constant regeneration effect, immune to harming splash/lingering damage, and harming splash potions they throw deal extra damage; receives 20% more damage from swords and axes.

Using the plugin

• /race list to view options; /race set <race> to pick your own; /race info to check current selection; /race clear to remove a choice (commands can target other players with an extra name argument).
• Racial effects are stored per-player and re-applied on join or respawn; upkeep tasks keep potion effects and environmental drawbacks active.

Notes and limitations

• Desert heat checks include desert and badlands variants; protection requires all four gold armor pieces.
• Breton potion immunity targets harming-style damage; other negative potion effects may still apply.
• Altair unarmed damage is applied before armor reductions, so heavy armor can still mitigate it.
