What it does

Loot

• Every player gets their own vault loot
  • Chests, barrels, droppers and pots too, if you want
  • Or make it a race: first player claims the vault, it stays shut for everyone else
  • Build your own loot tables. By weight, or by plain % chance
  • Different loot per chamber
  • Edit it all in a menu. No YAML (optional)

Resets

• Chambers restore on a timer you set
• Players get a warning first
• Set it to 0 to only reset by hand

Protection

• Nobody breaks blocks or spawners inside a chamber
• Optional: let players tunnel in through the wall. They get no drops, the wall heals on reset

Custom chambers (optional)

• Use a datapack, such as Crazy Chambers
• Or make rooms yourself, the plugin stitches them into a new chamber

During a fight

• Boss bar shows wave progress
• Spawner mobs stop killing each other
• Leftover spawners glow so nobody hunts for the last one
• Dead players can spectate their team

After completion

• Statistics; Vaults opened, mobs killed, chambers cleared, time spent
• Leaderboards
• 30+ PlaceholderAPI placeholders

Under the hood

• Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish and Folia
• Won't lag your server! Big chambers load in small pieces (smooth even with only 4GB ram)
• SQLite or MySQL
• Every message is editable in one file (fully translatable)
• Config updates itself, keeping your settings.

Want more?

This plugin stays free. Three paid add-ons, if you want them — esmp.fun/plugins:

• Mythic Trials — chambers get harder every time a player clears them -> 25 difficulty tiers with custom tweaked smarter vanilla MobAI, better rewards and optional seasons
• Wild Spawners — (custom-mob) trial spawners, anywhere on the map and/or in your shops
• Vault Crates — crates that use real Trial Vaults instead of chests (no resource packs!)
