# \ud83d\udde1\ufe0f VkSpearSmp<\/p>\n
**VkSpearSmp** is a fully featured PvP progression plugin built around Minecraft\u2019s modern spear combat system, designed specifically for **Paper servers running 1.21.11 and newer**. The plugin replaces traditional weapon progression with a **skill-based, kill-driven spear system**, encouraging fast-paced combat, player movement mastery, and fair progression.<\/p>\n
Instead of crafting stronger weapons, players must **earn their power through combat**. Every player starts with a basic wooden spear, and only valid spear kills count toward progression. As players secure kills, their spear becomes stronger, gains enchantments automatically, and eventually upgrades into higher tiers \u2014 all without manual crafting or repairs.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd25 Core Gameplay Mechanics<\/p>\n
VkSpearSmp introduces a **kill-based upgrade system** where each confirmed spear kill increases the spear\u2019s effectiveness. Every kill adds sharpness to the spear (up to a configurable limit), and once the required number of kills is reached, the spear upgrades to the next tier:<\/p>\n
**Wooden \u2192 Stone \u2192 Iron \u2192 Diamond \u2192 Netherite**<\/p>\n
When a spear upgrades:<\/p>\n
* The kill counter resets cleanly
\n* Sharpness resets for balanced progression
\n* The spear transforms into its new tier automatically
\n* Upgrade particle effects are played for visual feedback<\/p>\n
Higher tiers unlock additional mechanics, such as **Lunge enchantments**, making combat more aggressive and rewarding for skilled players.<\/p>\n
## \u2694\ufe0f Advanced Spear Combat<\/p>\n
Combat in VkSpearSmp is designed to feel **powerful and momentum-based**. Spear damage scales with player speed, meaning faster movement results in higher damage. This rewards smart positioning, sprinting, and timing rather than simple click-spamming.<\/p>\n
Server owners can optionally enable **high-impact or one-shot potential**, making spear combat deadly when executed correctly, while still remaining configurable and balanced.<\/p>\n
All spears are:<\/p>\n
* **Unbreakable**
\n* **Non-craftable**
\n* **Non-enchantable by players**
\n* Automatically enchanted only through progression<\/p>\n
This ensures full control over balance and prevents exploits.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udcca Player Progression & Stats<\/p>\n
Each player has their own spear progression and statistics. Kills are only counted if the final blow was delivered using a spear, ensuring fair and accurate tracking. Admins can view, reset, or modify player progress using built-in commands.<\/p>\n
The system is designed to be:<\/p>\n
* Per-player
\n* Persistent
\n* Exploit-resistant<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Admin Control & Configuration<\/p>\n
VkSpearSmp includes a complete set of **permission-based admin commands**, allowing server staff to manage spears and progression easily:<\/p>\n
