Introduction

AscendSMP is an ability plugin for survival multiplayer servers. Every player carries two ability slots: a secondary and a primary. Each ability gives you an always-on passive perk plus an activatable power that runs on a cooldown.

Abilities level up through PvP. Killing other players raises the level of both your equipped abilities, which shortens cooldowns and strengthens effects. Secondaries reach level 3 and primaries reach level 5.

Everything is visible in game. An action-bar HUD above your hotbar shows both abilities, their levels, and a live countdown while a power recharges. The ability menu shows your full loadout and kill record, and its built-in codex lists every ability with its description and crafting recipe.

Admins get a full set of management commands plus three special event abilities (Warden, Ender, and Wither) to hand out for server events. Event abilities run at full power and do not level.

Quick facts

The optional plugins are never required. PlaceholderAPI exposes ability placeholders to other plugins, ItemsAdder can supply custom HUD icons, and WorldGuard is supported as a soft dependency hook.
