## \ud83d\udc41\ufe0f The Concept<\/p>\n

In standard Minecraft, a murder in a dark alley is just a respawn screen. **Witness** changes the stakes. If a crime is committed within the line of sight of another player, it is no longer just your word against theirs\u2014it is an **Official Testimony.**<\/p>\n

This plugin creates a tangible “paper trail” for every illegal act, forcing criminals to be calculated and victims to find protection.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \u2728 Key Features<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udcdc Official Testimony Records
\nWhen a crime (murder, theft, or griefing) is detected, the plugin automatically generates a **Testimony Book** for nearby witnesses.
\n– **NBT-Secured Data:** Includes the timestamp, coordinates, suspect’s name, and victim’s name.
\n– **Evidence Level:** Categorizes crimes from “Misdemeanor” to “High Felony.”
\n– **Non-Forgeable:** Records are signed by the server, making them valid evidence for trials.<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f Dynamic Detection Logic
\nWitness doesn’t just check radius; it checks **Line of Sight**.
\n– **Stealth Mechanics:** Sneaking or wearing certain gear can reduce your detection profile.
\n– **Environmental Factors:** Foliage and darkness can affect whether a witness “clearly identifies” the suspect.
\n– **Anonymous Tips:** Servers can be configured to allow witnesses to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation.<\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udccb The Criminal Record
\nEvery player has a permanent file accessible via the suite.
\n– **Active Charges:** Lists all witnessed crimes that haven’t been resolved.
\n– **Prescription System:** Minor crimes eventually fade, but major felonies stay on your record forever.<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd17 CivCraft Suite Integration<\/p>\n

**Witness** is the primary “data feeder” for the rest of the **CivCraft Ecosystem**:<\/p>\n

| Integration | Synergy Effect |
\n|————-|—————-|
\n| \ud83c\udff9 **BountyBoard** | Automatically puts a price on a suspect’s head once a report is filed. |
\n| \u2696\ufe0f **Tribunal** | Reports are used as the primary evidence in court cases. |
\n| \ud83e\udeaa **Reputation** | Being witnessed committing a crime causes an instant, massive drop in social score. |
\n| \u2694\ufe0f **ReanimateMC** | Failing to help a “Downed” player can be flagged as “Negligence” or “Abandoned.” |
\n| \ud83e\udea6 **Epitaph** | Linking a Testimony Record to a Gravestone displays the “Cause of Death” in detail. |<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n
