Morale Boost
A cooperative team morale system for Minecraft servers
This mod is used for RP with admins as gamemasters. Use function morale:add commands to give morale.
Overview
Morale Boost adds a shared Team Morale score that rises and falls based on what your team does together. Sleep through the night, and morale climbs. Watch a teammate die, and the whole team feels it. Morale directly affects every player's movement speed and attack speed, and going beyond the cap unlocks a buff state that makes the whole team faster and hit harder.
Designed for cooperative survival and medieval/roleplay servers.
Features
- Shared morale score — one value for the whole team, ranging from
0 to 150
- Death penalty — every death costs the team
-5 morale, with atmospheric flavor messages broadcast to all players
- Sleep bonus — each player who sleeps in a bed grants
+1 morale
- Passive drain — morale above
100 slowly drains back down over time (1 point per minute)
- Overflow buff — morale above
100 grants all players a +20% attack speed and +10% movement speed bonus
- Gradual penalties — low morale applies increasing attack speed and movement speed debuffs across multiple thresholds
- Debug command — built-in debug function for server admins

Morale Changes at a Glance

The overflow drain only ticks while morale is above 100. Once it returns to 100 or below, the timer resets.

Installation
- Download
Morale_Boost_release.zip
- Place the
.zip file into your world's datapacks folder:<world_folder>/datapacks/
- In-game or in the server console, run:
/reload
The pack initializes automatically on load. Morale starts at 100 if no previous value exists.
Compatibility
| Version |
Status |
| Minecraft 26.2 (pack format 107) |
✅ Supported |
| Minecraft 1.21.11-1.21.5 |

| Minecraft 1.20.x and below |
❌ Not supported |
This datapack uses the attribute modifier add command syntax introduced in 1.21. It will not function correctly on older versions.
Notes for Server Owners
- The death detection system works by comparing a running total of all player deaths each tick.
- The
on_join advancement uses minecraft:tick as its trigger, which fires once on a player's first tick. It is automatically revoked after granting, so it re-fires correctly if a player re-joins.
- There is no GUI or boss bar — morale feedback is delivered through chat messages and the
/function morale:status command.
