Morale Boost

A cooperative team morale system for Minecraft servers

This mod is used for RP with admins as gamemasters. Use function morale:add commands to give morale.

Overview

Morale Boost adds a shared Team Morale score that rises and falls based on what your team does together. Sleep through the night, and morale climbs. Watch a teammate die, and the whole team feels it. Morale directly affects every player's movement speed and attack speed, and going beyond the cap unlocks a buff state that makes the whole team faster and hit harder.

Designed for cooperative survival and medieval/roleplay servers.

Features

• Shared morale score — one value for the whole team, ranging from 0 to 150
• Death penalty — every death costs the team -5 morale, with atmospheric flavor messages broadcast to all players
• Sleep bonus — each player who sleeps in a bed grants +1 morale
• Passive drain — morale above 100 slowly drains back down over time (1 point per minute)
• Overflow buff — morale above 100 grants all players a +20% attack speed and +10% movement speed bonus
• Gradual penalties — low morale applies increasing attack speed and movement speed debuffs across multiple thresholds
• Debug command — built-in debug function for server admins

Morale Thresholds

Penalties (morale ≤ 100)

Morale is capped at a maximum of 150 and a minimum of 0.

Morale Changes at a Glance

The overflow drain only ticks while morale is above 100. Once it returns to 100 or below, the timer resets.

Commands

All commands require operator permissions (/op).

Check Morale Status

/function morale:status

Displays the current team morale to all players, color-coded by range.

Manually Adjust Morale

/function morale:add_morale_1
/function morale:add_morale_5
/function morale:add_morale_10
/function morale:add_morale_15
/function morale:add_morale_25

Adds the specified amount to team morale. Caps at 150.

Debug Info

/function morale:debug

Broadcasts an admin-facing debug panel showing current morale, overflow timer (in ticks), and cumulative death count.

Installation

1. Download Morale_Boost_release.zip
2. Place the .zip file into your world's datapacks folder:

   <world_folder>/datapacks/
   

3. In-game or in the server console, run:

   /reload
   

   The pack initializes automatically on load. Morale starts at 100 if no previous value exists.

Compatibility

This datapack uses the attribute modifier add command syntax introduced in 1.21. It will not function correctly on older versions.

Notes for Server Owners

• The death detection system works by comparing a running total of all player deaths each tick.
• The on_join advancement uses minecraft:tick as its trigger, which fires once on a player's first tick. It is automatically revoked after granting, so it re-fires correctly if a player re-joins.
• There is no GUI or boss bar — morale feedback is delivered through chat messages and the /function morale:status command.
