# CatalystMC: Forge Your Destiny
\n**CatalystMC is a comprehensive server-side plugin designed for Paper 1.21+ servers. It introduces a high-stakes economy and combat system based on Catalysts\u2014powerful artifacts that grant players unique abilities.**<\/p>\n
The core mechanic of this plugin is Scarcity. Unlike standard RPG plugins where everyone can max out their stats, CatalystMC enforces a strict “History” system: Specific Legendary Catalysts can only be crafted once per map. Once a player forges a Dynasty Catalyst, it is locked forever, making that item a unique artifact of immense value and power.<\/p>\n
### \ud83c\udf1f Key Features
\nThe Catalyst System
\nCatalysts are physical items (Tokens) held in your inventory that grant passive and active abilities. They are obtained through expensive, custom crafting recipes.<\/p>\n
### The “History” Mechanic (Server-Wide Limits)
\nThis plugin features a persistent storage system that tracks the crafting history of the server.<\/p>\n
**Unique Artifacts:** If a player crafts a Dynasty Tier catalyst (e.g., The Dragon), the server records this event.<\/p>\n
**The Lock:** No other player can ever craft that specific catalyst again.<\/p>\n
**The Economy:** This forces players to trade, fight for, or steal existing Catalysts rather than grinding for their own, driving player interaction and conflict.<\/p>\n
### \u2694\ufe0f The Catalysts
\nCurrently, the plugin supports a wide variety of playstyles, split into three tiers of rarity:<\/p>\n
