🌿 GaiaBalance

Restore the Earth. Master the Elements. Maintain the Balance. GaiaBalance is a realistic environmental karma system for Paper-based Minecraft servers. Every action you take—from planting a single sapling to burning down a forest—is tracked by the spirit of nature. Will you become a blessed Druid of the forest, or face the decaying wrath of the Blight?

📊 The Karma System

Your relationship with nature is measured on a scale from 0% to 100%. Check your action bar at any time to see your current standing.

• 🌱 Restoration: Gain Karma by planting saplings, breeding animals, and living off a sustainable vegetarian diet.
• 🔥 Destruction: Lose Karma by clear-cutting forests, industrial furnace use, killing passive fauna, or using fire.

✨ Features of the Blessed (High Karma >80%)

When you protect the world, the world protects you.

• 🌸 Green Thumb: Nature blooms in your footsteps. Grass and flowers may sprout as you walk.
• 🐾 Animal Magnetism: Passive animals feel your gentle spirit and are naturally drawn toward you.
• 🌾 Abundant Harvest: Nature rewards your care with increased crop yields during harvest.
• ☁️ Part the Clouds: Look at the sky and sneak-click the air to instantly clear storms (Costs 40% Karma).

🥀 Omens of the Blighted (Low Karma <30%)

Betray nature, and it will turn against you.

• 🌵 Nature's Thorns: Vegetation becomes sharp and hostile; walking through brush will damage you.
• 🐝 Hostile Fauna: Normally peaceful creatures like Wolves, Bees, and Llamas will attack on sight.
• 💀 The Blight (<10%): The environment rots around you. Grass turns to coarse dirt, and flowers wither into Wither Roses in your presence.
• ⚡ Nature's Wrath: Face sudden lightning strikes, poison, or permanent rejection (Spectator mode) if your Karma hits zero.
