Description

⚡ Smash Craft

🎮 Super Smash Bros. meets Minecraft — a total combat overhaul!

Smash Craft transforms Minecraft's combat into an explosive, percentage-based brawl inspired by Super Smash Bros. Every hit builds damage percentage, knockback scales the higher it climbs, and at critical levels — enemies get launched into the stratosphere with a spectacular Star KO. Grab your swords, charge your smash attacks, and send your friends flying!


✨ Features

💥 Percentage System

  • Every entity tracks a damage percentage that increases when hit
  • Damage dealt is multiplied by and added to the target's percent (critical hits multiply by an additional 1.5×!)
  • A beautiful color-coded HUD bar displays your current percentage — shifting from green to red as danger rises
  • Percentage is shown on the scoreboard below player names for all to see
  • Eating food heals 15% of your accumulated damage — strategic healing matters!
  • Percentage resets on death by void or Star KO, but persists through normal deaths

🌟 Star KO

  • When an entity's percentage exceeds 150%, every hit has an escalating chance to trigger a Star KO
  • The chance formula: (percent - 150) / 100 — at 250%, it's guaranteed!
  • Star KO'd entities are launched straight into the sky with Levitation 50, phasing through blocks until they reach Y=320 where they're eliminated
  • Massive explosion particles, firework bursts, end rod trails, and a shockwave ring of cloud particles erupt on impact
  • A custom Star KO sound effect plays alongside an explosion sound
  • The attacker gets knocked back from the sheer force of the impact
  • Damage Scaling: Launch speed, explosion size, crater size, and attacker recoil all scale with the weapon's damage!

🛡️ Smash Shield

  • Activate a particle shield bubble (blue dust particles) that absorbs incoming damage
  • Shield has 100 HP and takes 10× the attack damage — strong hits drain it fast!
  • Shield passively drains while active (0.2/tick) and regenerates when deactivated (0.5/tick)
  • When the shield breaks: glass break sound, plus 5 seconds of Slowness V and Weakness V — you're completely vulnerable!
  • A shield health bar (cyan) appears above the damage bar when shielding is active

💪 Smash Attacks

  • Charge up a devastating Smash Attack that multiplies your next hit's knockback by
  • A flashing "SMASH READY" indicator appears on your HUD (alternating yellow/red)
  • Directional Smash Attacks:
    • Look UP to perform an Up Smash (massive vertical knockback, low horizontal)
    • Sneak/Crouch to perform a Down Smash (massive horizontal knockback, purely horizontal trajectory)
    • Standard attack is a Forward Smash
    • Lands with explosion and firework particles for maximum impact
    • The charged state persists until you land a hit — time it right!

🦅 Double Jump

  • Perform a mid-air double jump once per airborne period — resets when you touch the ground
  • Launches you upward with a velocity of 0.8 and spawns cloud particles under your feet
  • A soft wool sound plays for satisfying audio feedback
  • Essential for recovery after being launched!

🧗 Ledge Grabbing

  • Falling near a ledge? Simply brush up against the wall, and you'll automatically snap to the ledge and hang there!
  • Press Jump to quickly launch yourself up and over the ledge.
  • Press Sneak to drop down.
  • A critical tool for surviving those intense blast zone recoveries!

🔮 Smash Ball & Final Smash

  • The legendary Smash Ball floats around the world! It has a rare chance to spawn near players (roughly every 8 minutes).
  • It takes 3-4 solid hits to break the glowing, rainbow-colored orb.
  • Break it to gain the Final Smash!
  • With the Final Smash, your next hit is an instant Star KO, completely ignoring the opponent's percentage!

🔄 Knockback Scaling

  • Vanilla knockback is completely replaced with a percentage-based system
  • Knockback multiplier: (1.0 + (percent / 40.0)) * (0.8 + dmgScale * 0.2) — knockback scales with both percentage and weapon damage!
  • High knockback hits spawn firework particles and trigger screenshake
  • Critical hits (falling + airborne) deal 1.5× percent damage and display a "CRITICAL HIT!" message

❄️ Freeze Frames

  • Star KO hits have a 40% chance to trigger dramatic freeze frames
  • Both the victim AND the attacker are frozen in place for a few ticks (duration scales with weapon damage)
  • Red dust particles swirl around frozen entities for cinematic flair
  • After the freeze ends, the victim is explosively launched with an extra explosion emitter particle burst

💣 Terrain Destruction

  • Star KO impacts create a crater at the impact point (radius scales with weapon damage)
  • Destroys blocks in a sphere, dropping items naturally
  • Respects block hardness — obsidian and bedrock are safe (hardness ≥ 50 is protected)

📸 Screenshake & Impact Frames

  • Camera screenshake with intensity scaling based on hit power — the screen rumbles!
  • Impact frames flash a red overlay across the screen for 3 ticks on devastating hits
  • Players within 64 blocks of a major impact feel the shake
  • Smash Attacks trigger intensity 0.8 shake; Star KOs trigger dynamic intensity up to 2.0!

🌐 Multiplayer Compatibility

Smash Craft is built with full multiplayer support from the ground up! All state is synced via custom networking packets, so every player sees percentage bars, shield particles, star KOs, and screenshake effects in real-time.

💡 Tip: Works great with the Essentials mod for enhanced multiplayer server features!

The mod must be installed on both the server and all clients for full functionality.


🔧 Compatibility Notes

  • ✅ Works on dedicated servers and singleplayer
  • ✅ Applies to all living entities — fight mobs with Smash mechanics too!
  • ✅ Scoreboard integration works alongside other scoreboard objectives
  • ⚠️ Terrain destruction from Star KO impacts does break blocks — consider region protection on build servers
