# PlayerMutations – Minecraft Java Plugin<\/p>\n
**PLUGIN IS STILL IN VERY DEVELOPMENT.**<\/p>\n
# Website<\/p>\n
A behavioral evolution system that mutates players based on their playstyle. Every cycle (default 3 days), the plugin analyzes player behavior and triggers mutations that fundamentally change how they play.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### \u26a0\ufe0f IMPORTANT: One Mutation Rule
\n**Players can only have ONE mutation active at a time!** This is by design for game balance. When a new mutation evolves, it replaces the old one (unless the old one is permanent). This creates meaningful choices and prevents overpowered combinations.<\/p>\n
### \ud83e\uddec 8 Unique Mutations<\/p>\n
| Mutation | Trigger Behavior | Effects | Downside |

\n| **\ud83d\udd25 Pyromaniac (Ember-Born)** | Starting fires, fire damage | Fire resistance, ignite on punch | Cold biomes deal damage |<\/p>\n
### \u26a1 Activated Abilities<\/p>\n
Each mutation grants a powerful activated ability. **Hold the activation item + Sneak + Right-click** to use:<\/p>\n
| Mutation | Ability | Activation Item | Effect |

### \u26a1 Core Mechanics<\/p>\n
– **Evolution Cycles**: Every 72 hours (configurable), player behavior is analyzed
\n– **Progressive Levels**: Each mutation has 5 levels – stronger effects with progression
\n– **Permanent Mutations**: High-level mutations have a chance to become permanent (written into DNA!)
\n– **Decay System**: Inactive players will see their mutations fade (unless permanent)
\n– **Visual Feedback**: Particles, sounds, and titles for immersive evolution events<\/p>\n
