# Headsteal SMP<\/p>\n
A unique, PvP plugin where every player is granted a powerful, indestructible artifact \u2014 their own head. Steal other players’ artifacts to collect their abilities, but be careful: you cannot hide them, stash them, or safely log out with them.<\/p>\n
Protect your head at all costs, trust no one, and conquer the server.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### The Artifact System
\nWhen a player joins the server for the first time, they are permanently granted an indestructible player head (their “Artifact”). As long as this item is in your inventory, it grants a continuous passive ability.<\/p>\n
There are **9 possible Innate Powers**:
\n* Speed
\n* Haste
\n* Resistance
\n* Health Boost
\n* Fire Resistance
\n* Strength
\n* Knockback Resistance
\n* Invisibility
\n* Hero of the Village<\/p>\n
### Active Bursts (Right-Click)
\nArtifacts aren’t just passive! **Right-click your artifact** to trigger a 20-second active “Burst” ability (2-minute cooldown per unique head).
\n* **Standard Powers:** Grants a Level II version of your passive effect for 20 seconds.
\n* **Fire Resistance:** For 20 seconds, standing in fire or lava completely cancels damage and **heals** you instead.
\n* **Knockback Resistance:** Become 100% immune to all knockback for 20 seconds.
\n* **Invisibility (Wraith Form):** Enters “Ghost Mode” for 20 seconds (uses SuperVanish if installed, otherwise vanilla Invisibility II).
\n* **Hero of the Village:** Grants Hero of the Village Level 99 for massive trading discounts.<\/p>\n
*Tip: Cooldowns are tracked per artifact. If you steal 3 different heads, you can cycle through all 3 active bursts back-to-back!*<\/p>\n
### Offhand Abilities (F Key)
\nPress **F** (swap-to-offhand) while holding an artifact to trigger a power-specific ability. Each power has its own independent cooldown \u2014 and like the right-click bursts, cooldowns are tracked **per artifact**, so multiple stolen heads each give you a separate F ability.<\/p>\n
| Power | F-Key Effect | Cooldown |
\n|—|—|—|
\n| Speed | Forward dash | 1 min |
\n| Strength | Next melee hit deals 1.5\u00d7 damage (crit) | 1 min |
\n| Fire Resistance | Next melee hit ignites the target for 6s | 1 min |
\n| Health Boost | +4 hearts of absorption (60s) | 1 min |
\n| Haste | Haste III + Speed II for 5s | 2 min |
\n| Knockback Resistance | Thorns: next attacker is launched back | 1 min |
\n| Invisibility | 5s invisibility + Speed II “phase shift” | 1 min |
\n| Hero of the Village | Drops 8 emeralds at your feet | 1 min |
\n| Resistance | Next incoming hit fully absorbed (no damage, no KB, no tilt) | 1 min |<\/p>\n
The “next hit” abilities are one-shot \u2014 they consume on the very next attack you make or take, so you can’t stockpile them.<\/p>\n
### Strict “Unstashable” Rules
\nArtifacts are massive targets, and players are forced to keep them on their person.
\n* Cannot be placed on the ground or in item frames.
\n* Cannot be hidden in the offhand (no matter the route \u2014 F-key, drag, hotkey swap, dispenser, etc).
\n* Cannot be moved into chests, enderchests, or hoppers.
\n* **Logout Drop:** If you have someone else’s stolen artifact in your inventory and log out, their artifact is instantly dropped on the ground at your logout location.<\/p>\n
### Tracker Magic
\nLost your head? Type **`\/findmyhead`** (1-hour cooldown).
\n* If another player is holding it, chat will reveal their name.
\n* If it is dropped on the ground, you are given a 5-second magical compass that points directly to it.
\n* If it was somehow destroyed by a glitch, the server will forge you a brand new one.<\/p>\n
### PvP Balancing & Failsafes
\nBecause the artifacts are so powerful, certain vanilla items can be globally disabled to keep PvP fair (all toggleable in `config.yml`):
\n* **No Potions:** Brewed, splash, and lingering potions blocked.
\n* **No Enchanted Maces:** Maces cannot be enchanted, anvil-combined with books, and any existing enchantments are stripped on contact.<\/p>\n

## Commands<\/p>\n
**Player Commands:**
\n* `\/findmyhead` \u2014 Locate your missing artifact or reforge it if destroyed.
\n* `\/headstealhelp` (aliases: `\/hshelp`, `\/headhelp`) \u2014 Show the in-game help menu.<\/p>\n
**Admin Commands (OP Required):** —<\/p>\n ## Configuration<\/p>\n Headsteal Core is highly customizable. You can toggle anti-cheese failsafes, adjust cooldowns and durations, and configure plugin integrations directly. Below is the default `config.yml`:<\/p>\n “`yaml # Powers that can be assigned to a player’s head. # How often (in seconds) to refresh innate effects on players. # Cooldown timers # Right-click burst duration (in seconds) # Compass tracker duration (in seconds) – how long the # Per-power F-key (offhand-swap) abilities. # ========================================================== # Disable consumable (drinkable) potions # Disable splash and lingering potions (throwing & dispensing) # ========================================================== # SuperVanish \/ PremiumVanish – used for the ACTIVE Invisibility # ========================================================== —<\/p>\n ## Dependencies<\/p>\n The plugin runs on its own with vanilla fallbacks for everything. The following are **optional** and only enhance the Invisibility power:<\/p>\n * **SuperVanish** \u2014 used for the Invisibility right-click “Wraith Form” burst (true vanish instead of just the vanilla Invisibility effect). For the best experience, configure SuperVanish to disable hitting entities, flying, placing blocks, and the fake join\/leave messages. If neither plugin is installed, both Invisibility effects fall back to the vanilla Invisibility status effect cleanly. Both integrations can also be disabled via `config.yml`.<\/p>\n **Server requirements:** —<\/p>\n ## Issues & Support This plugin makes it so player heads give special abilities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":79979,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"headstealsmp","_minecraft_project_id":"wxqKltSS","_minecraft_author":"_Umut","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":14,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"headstealsmp.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":139741,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:51:25.561141Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-05-07T23:42:33.740531Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-03T09:16:36.850265Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/headstealsmp","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":79979,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T14:39:03+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"76fec7821ff2f71d7d944c8bea68e5ee","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[89,127,128],"mod_loader":[132,133],"minecraft_version":[62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-79978","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"\n
