# 👑 Friend Dictator
**One player rules. Everyone else survives.**
Friend Dictator turns your Minecraft server into a social experiment. When the game begins, one player is randomly crowned **Dictator** — granted Creative mode and the power to write the laws. Everyone else becomes a **Worker**, stuck in Survival, bound by whatever rules the Dictator decides to impose.
But power has a price: get too close to a Worker, and the Dictator's Creative mode shuts off. And if the Dictator ever falls... someone else takes the crown.
## ⚔️ How It Works
### 🕒 Waiting for Friends
The game won't start with fewer than 2 players online. Once a second player joins, a **120-second countdown** begins (with chat updates every 10 seconds) so the rest of your friends have time to connect. When the timer hits zero, a random participant is crowned Dictator. Anyone joining after that becomes a Worker automatically.
### 🧱 The Vulnerability Rule
Every tick, the mod checks the Dictator's chunk. If a living Worker steps into the **same 16×16 chunk**, the Dictator is instantly kicked out of Creative mode into Survival — with a warning on screen. Creative returns the moment the coast is clear.
### 🔥 Revolution
- **Killed by a Worker?** That Worker becomes the new Dictator immediately, crown and all.
- **Died some other way** (lava, mobs, fall damage, your own dumb rules)? A new Dictator is chosen at random from the survivors — never the one who just died.
## 📜 The Law: `/dictatorrule`
Only the current Dictator can issue commands, and every argument supports **TAB autocomplete**.
### 🅰️ Ban an Item
```
/dictatorrule clear <item_id>
```
Workers can no longer pick up the banned item — off the ground, out of chests, from crafting, anywhere. It gets stripped from their inventory automatically.
### 🅱️ Change the Rules of Biology
```
/dictatorrule changenumbers [max/min] [HP/food/itemvolue] <value>
```
Cap or floor a Worker's health, hunger, or max item stack size. Want everyone limited to holding one block at a time? Go ahead.
### 🅲 Booby-Trap the Ground
```
/dictatorrule if touch <block_id> [kill / tp <x> <y> <z> / effect <effect_id>]
```
Step on the wrong block and suffer the consequences — instant death, a forced teleport, or a status effect. All 36+ vanilla potion effects are supported, including the newest ones (Glowing, Raid Omen, Wind Charged, Weaving, Oozing, Infesting).
### 🅳 Punish Behavior
```
/dictatorrule if action <action_type> [kill / tp <x> <y> <z> / effect <effect_id>]
```
Outlaw specific actions, not just places:
| Action | Trigger |
|---|---|
| `leftatack` | Left-click attack |
| `rightatack` | Right-click / block interaction |
| `jump` | Jumping |
| `sneak` | Crouching |
| `walked` | Moving at all |
| `eat` | Eating food |
| `chat` | Sending a chat message |
| `open_inventory` | Opening the inventory screen |
| `look_at_dictator` | Looking directly at the Dictator |
### 🆘 Emergency Reset
```
/dictatorrule clearall
```
Wipes every active rule at once. Handy when the Dictator gets a little too creative and nobody can move anymore.

## 💡 Design Philosophy
Friend Dictator is built for **blind rule-making** — there's no validation, no conflict checking. The Dictator can stack contradictory laws, and the game won't stop them. Chaos is a feature, not a bug.

*Best played with 2+ friends who trust each other slightly less after every session.*
