Feathers Weaponry

🪶 Feathers Weaponry

Feathers Weaponry turns combat, movement, and other physical actions into a stamina-management system powered by Feathers.

Attacking, blocking, sprinting, jumping, swimming, flying, and using ranged weapons can consume Feather. Push yourself too far and your actions may become weaker, be cancelled entirely, or trigger temporary punishments.

Feather costs, requirements, punishments, and many other mechanics are configurable, so the system can be adjusted from lightweight stamina management to a much more demanding survival mechanic.

---

⚔ Combat

Weapon attacks consume Feather, including configurable costs for:

• Successful hits
• Missed attacks
• Minimum Feather required to attack

When the player no longer meets the required Feather amount, attacks can be cancelled instead of allowing the animation to continue without actually attacking.

This works with swords, axes, tridents, and configurable modded weapons.

---

🏹 Ranged Weapons

Drawing bows and loading crossbows also interact with Feather.

Low Feather can reduce the effectiveness of ranged weapons, while insufficient Feather can prevent actions from completing properly.

Bow, crossbow, and trident behaviour can all be customized through the config.

---

🛡 Shields

Blocking is no longer free.

Holding up a shield can consume Feather over time, while taking damage while blocking can consume additional Feather.

This makes prolonged defensive play something the player has to actively manage.

---

🏃 Movement

Movement can also use Feather:

• Sprinting
• Jumping
• Swimming
• Walking
• Elytra flight

When Feather becomes too low, actions such as sprinting, jumping, and swimming can be cancelled until the player recovers.

Complex Elytra movement can also consume more Feather than simple flight.

📈 Learning & Training

Players can become more efficient through repeated use of different actions.

Training activities such as sprint-jumping can improve their related stats over time, reducing how demanding those actions become once the player is experienced.

---

💥 Punishments

Repeatedly exhausting the player can trigger temporary punishments such as:

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Swimmer's Shoulder
• Runner's Fatigue
• Pilot's Strain
• Walker's Cramp

These apply debuffs such as Weakness and Mining Fatigue.

By default, punishment mechanics are only enabled on Hard and Hardcore, but this can be changed through configuration.
