⚡ EnergySMP - Player Guide

📖 What is Energy?

Energy is the core survival resource on EnergySMP.

It:

• Slowly drains while you are online

• Powers permanent buffs

• Determines how long you can stay alive on the server

• Bans you temporarily if it reaches 0

⚠️ Energy is limited. Play wisely.

🎮 Starting Out

When You First Join

• ✅ Starting Energy: 100

• ✅ Starting Max Energy: 500

• ✅ Energy only drains while you are online

• ✅ Every player has a personal drain timer

---

⏱️ Energy Drain System

• -10 Energy per hour while online

• Drain happens in small ticks every 5 minutes

• Your timer:

  • Pauses when you log out

  • Resumes exactly where it left off when you log back in

• Each player has their own independent timer

Example

You log in → 5:00 until next drain
Play for 3 minutes → 2:00 remaining
Log out
Come back later → still 2:00 remaining
After 2 more minutes online → drain occurs

This system prevents logout abuse and keeps things fair.

📈 How to Gain Energy

🗡️ PvP (Primary Method)

• +20 Energy per player kill

• 30-minute cooldown per player

• Killing the same player repeatedly won’t work

---

🧠 Energy Cores (Main Progression Method)

Energy is mainly gained by crafting and turning in Energy Cores.

🔋 What Are Energy Cores?

Custom craftable items that grant Energy when turned in via a GUI.

There are 3 tiers:

• Tier 1 – Early game

• Tier 2 – Mid game

• Tier 3 – Late game / high value

Crafting cores does NOT give energy. Energy is only granted through the Turn-In GUI.

---

📦 Turning in Heavy Cores

/energy turnin

• Opens a GUI

• Place Heavy Cores into the deposit slots

• Preview how much Energy you’ll gain

• Confirm to receive Energy

• Safe, dupe-proof, and fully automated

---

🧟 Mob Energy (Limited Support)

Mobs are not the main way to progress, but they help early or during low-pop hours.

• Before ever reaching 200 Energy

  • Hostile mobs grant small amounts of Energy

• After reaching 200 Energy (lifetime)

  • Mob energy is capped at 20 Energy per day

  • PvP and Heavy Cores become the main progression paths

This prevents AFK farming while still allowing solo play.

📉 How You Lose Energy

⏰ Passive Drain

• -10 Energy per hour while online

• Uses your personal timer

☠️ Death Penalty

• -15 Energy per death

• Dying repeatedly is dangerous

🛒 Buff Purchases

• Buying buffs costs Energy

• Higher levels cost more

• You cannot buy a buff if it would drop you below 10 Energy

---

🚫 What Happens at 0 Energy?

⛔ Temporary Ban

If your Energy reaches 0, you are automatically banned.

• ⏱️ Default ban time: 12 hours

• ⏱️ Some ranks may have shorter ban times

Example message:

You ran out of Energy!
You will be unbanned in 12 hours.

A server-wide message is also sent.

Staff can manually revive players in special cases.

How It Works

⚠️ Revives are staff discretion only. Do not spam requests.
