Ultimate Strength SMP Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I pick my weapon class?
A class selection menu opens automatically when you join the server for the first time. You can choose from Sword, Axe, Bow, Trident, Crossbow, or Shield—each grants different passive bonuses and ultimate abilities. If you need to change your class later, check your server's configuration for the command to reset your selection.
What happens if my damage goes negative?
If your attack damage drops below the elimination threshold (typically -10), you are removed from normal gameplay and moved to spectator mode or banned depending on your server settings. The only way back is if a teammate uses a Revive Beacon to bring you back into the game.
How do I convert damage points into Strength Dust?
You can withdraw extra damage points you've earned and convert them into physical Strength Dust items through a crafting recipe or command. These items can then be traded with other players or stored for later use.
Can I farm damage by fighting the same player repeatedly?
The mod tracks consecutive kills and combat patterns to prevent exploitation, so repeatedly killing the same weakened player may trigger diminishing returns or fairness checks. Focus on varied combat encounters to grow your damage sustainably.
What's the combo system and how do I use it?
The mod tracks consecutive hits you land during a fight to build up a combo multiplier. Higher combos increase your damage output, but missing a hit or taking damage resets your counter, so landing clean strikes in succession is key to winning fights.
How do critical hits work?
The plugin verifies true critical hits (such as hitting from above while falling) to ensure combat fairness. Critical hits deal bonus damage and are tracked separately from regular attacks to maintain balanced PvP.
What does the combat lock mechanic do?
Once you engage in combat with another player, both of you are locked in that fight and cannot simply run away. This prevents players from escaping fights they're losing and forces tactical decision-making during PvP encounters.
How do I revive a teammate who was eliminated?
Craft or obtain a Revive Beacon and use it to bring back an eliminated player. The beacon restores them to the game, though they typically return with reduced damage and must rebuild their strength.
Does my damage reset when the server restarts?
No—the plugin saves all player damage data and statistics to a database, so your progress is preserved across server restarts and crashes. Your damage points and elimination status will be exactly as you left them.
Can I use ultimate abilities from my weapon class in every fight?
Ultimate abilities are powerful class-specific moves that activate during combat, but they typically have cooldowns or resource requirements that prevent spam. Check your weapon class guide to learn when and how to trigger your ultimate for maximum impact.
