Why Create This Mod?

First, I would like to say that I created this mod to make Minecraft combat & survival harder. I saw what Epic Fight with combat and immediately fell in love with it, and I understand they have their system set up for a very specific playstyle, but I wanted to dive just a little bit deeper into the Dark Souls RPG feel.

I want player's to think about how their actions in combat will have consequences, to strategize around that, and to approach combat in a more methodical manner. That is my target audience.

Stamina is now consumed by a multiple of very configurable actions. I'll go into detail about what all consumes stamina and how that can be borderline modified to your heart's content, but first I'll cover how the base mods drain stamina.

Paragliders

The Paragliders mod introduces a few different things like, well... paragliders. But it also introduces a new heart system and stamina system to the game. This mod in particular focuses on that stamina system.

Fresh out of the box the mod only drains stamina when the player is paragliding, but there is an option in the server config to allow running and swimming to also drain stamina. As well, the total amount of stamina and hearts can be heavily modified here. It's an excellently configured mod.

Epic Fight

The Epic Fight mod introduces a massive overhaul to Minecraft's combat system. It's very extensive, so I'll only cover its stamina system here. Epic Fight also introduces its own stamina system. This system drains stamina when a player uses certain skills like blocking, dodging, or certain special attacks.

How Does This Mod Tie Them Together?

To be brief, this mod takes the stamina system from the Paragliders mod and integrates it with the Epic Fight mod skills and attacks. Of course there is a lot more going on under the hood, but that is the basic idea of what's going on.

So, now whenever a player attacks, dodges, performs certain skills, or runs (if enabled) their stamina will drain. When the player's stamina reaches 0, they will have slowness from the Paragliders mod applied to them on top of mining fatigue and weakness applied from this mod (configurable). This will slow the player down, and make their attacks both weak and slow. I feel like this is a pretty good way to convey exhaustion to the player, but if you don't like it then this is all editable in the server config.
