✨ What is PXEffect?

Imagine every player on your server is constantly one tick away from receiving a Speed boost — or a Wither curse. PXEffect makes chaos part of your server's DNA.

Every 2 minutes (fully configurable), each online player is handed a randomly selected potion effect. Higher XP levels? Stronger effects. The countdown ticks live in the action bar. The tension is real.

Whether you run a survival, minigame, RPG, or event server — PXEffect adds a layer of unpredictable energy that keeps players on their toes.

🚀 Core Features

🎲 Random Effect Engine

Randomly selects from all vanilla positive and negative potion effects every interval

• ✅ Full pool of positive effects — Speed, Strength, Regeneration, Night Vision, Absorption, Luck, and more
• ✅ Full pool of negative effects — Slowness, Weakness, Poison, Wither, Blindness, Levitation, and more
• ✅ Toggle positive and negative categories independently
• ✅ Customise which specific effects are in the pool via config.yml
• ✅ Configurable effect duration in ticks

⚡ XP Level Scaling

Effect strength automatically scales with the player's XP level

🎓 XP Level	💪 Effect Strength
Level 0 – 9	Level I
Level 10 – 19	Level II
Level 20 – 29	Level III
Level 30 – 39	Level IV
Level 40+	Level V

Fully customisable tiers in config.yml — set your own ranges and amplifiers.

⏱️ Live Action Bar Countdown

Players always know exactly when their next effect is coming

Next Effect: 01:59

Next Effect: 00:03

• 🔄 Updates every second in real time
• 🎨 Fully customisable format with MiniMessage support
• ✨ Hex colours, gradients, and legacy & codes all supported

📣 Effect Notifications

When an effect lands, players are informed clearly and stylishly:

• 💬 Chat message — shows effect name, level, and whether it's positive or negative
• 📋 Title + Subtitle — dramatic on-screen announcement (configurable fade times)
• 🔊 Custom sounds — different sounds for positive vs negative effects
• ✨ Particle burst — visual particle effect at the player's location
• 🎨 All messages fully customisable with MiniMessage

📊 Boss Bar Display (Optional)

An optional countdown boss bar at the top of the screen

⚡ Performance

PXEffect is engineered for 500+ concurrent players:

• 🏎️ Single repeating task — one 1-second scheduler handles everything (cooldowns, action bar, boss bar, effect firing). Zero per-player tasks.
• 🧵 Thread-safe statistics — AtomicLong counters, no locks needed
• 💾 Memory-efficient — ConcurrentHashMap for cooldown/bossbar state
• ♻️ Hot-reload safe — scheduler shuts down cleanly before config reload, then restarts
• 📦 Shaded bStats only — no unnecessary bundled libraries

---

1. Download PXEffect-1.0.0.jar
