# Sunburn<\/p>\n
**Sunburn** \u2014 a plugin that makes players vulnerable to sunlight, just like zombies. <\/p>\n
## Key Features
\n– \ud83d\udd25 Players ignite in direct sunlight when standing under the open sky.
\n– \u26d1 Helmets protect from sun damage but gradually lose durability.
\n– \ud83c\udfad Any other head-slot item may drop to the ground with a configurable chance, leaving the player exposed and burning.
\n– \ud83c\udf11 Burning depends on light level: by default, players are safe at `SunLight < 15`. This threshold is configurable. \n- \ud83c\udf0a Being in water provides full protection from the sun. \n- \u2699\ufe0f Flexible configuration: \n - adjustable burn duration \n - multiple shadow detection modes (`SKYLIGHT`, `ANYLIGHT`, `MATERIALCONFIG`) \n - customizable lists of helmets and transparent blocks \n - configurable drop chance for non-helmet head-slot items\n\n## Commands\n`\/sunburn on` \u2014 activates sunburn \n`\/sunburn off` \u2014 deactivates sunburn \n`\/sunburn status` \u2014 shows the current config parameters in chat \n`\/sunburn reload` \u2014 reloads the config \n`\/sb` \u2014 alias for `\/sunburn`\n\n> You must have **OP** to execute these commands.<\/p>\n
