Practice Features

Optional practice modules: round-based practice duels, totem reaction training, golden heads, death messages, VIP kit editor tools, and complex door gates.

Prefer /shyamduels

Admin practice commands live under /shyamduels. The legacy root /practice alias (and /shyamduelspractice) still works but is deprecated. Player commands like /practiceduel and /totempractice are registered separately when their modules are enabled.

Module Toggles

Enable or disable each feature in config.yml under modules:

modules:
  practice-duel-command: true
  practice-right-click-duel: true
  practice-death-messages: true
  practice-golden-head: true
  practice-totem-practice: true
  practice-kit-editor: true
  armor-trimmer: true
  shield-customizer: true
  enchant-table: true
  kit-room-shulker-editor: true

See Configuration Files for the full module list.

Practice Duel

Round-based sparring outside ranked queue. Uses the practice duel system, not the ranked /duel invite flow.

Command	Aliases	Permission	Description
`/practiceduel [player]`	`/pduel`, `/roundsduel`	`shyamduels.practice.duel`	Challenge a player to a practice duel, or open the challenge GUI if no player is given.
`/practiceduel accept <player>`	-	`shyamduels.practice.duel`	Accept a pending practice duel request.
`/shyamduels practiceduel [player]`	`/sd`, `/duels`	`shyamduels.practice.duel`	Same as above via the main admin command tree.

Totem Practice

Reaction minigame: pop the correct totem as fast as possible. Opens a GUI with difficulty options.

Command	Aliases	Permission	Description
`/totempractice`	`/totem`	`shyamduels.practice.totempractice`	Opens the Totem Practice GUI.
`/shyamduels totem-practice`	`/sd`, `/duels`	`shyamduels.practice.totempractice`	Same feature via main command.

Configure scoring and GUI layout in config.yml under totem-practice:.

Death Messages

Toggle custom kill/death chat messages per player. Separate from the ranked duel system.

/deathmessages

Permission: shyamduels.use. Requires modules.practice-death-messages: true.

Customize message templates and rank-based kill commands in config.yml under death-messages:.

Golden Head

A configurable consumable for UHC-style kits. Its base Minecraft item stays a honey bottle, while its item model can render as the custom Golden Head texture.

Honey Bottle Base Item

The default item.id: "minecraft:honey_bottle" preserves honey-bottle consumption behaviour. The configured texture value changes only the appearance, so the item still reports minecraft:honey_bottle in its component data.

Recommended Configuration

yamlmodules:
  practice-golden-head: true

golden-head:
  cooldown: 3
  item:
    id: "minecraft:honey_bottle"
    texture-value: "<base64 texture value>"
    display-name: "&#FF780C&lGOLDEN HEAD &#AAAAAA(Right-Click)"
    lore:
      - "&#FFFA45&lLEGENDARY CONSUMABLE"
  effects:
    - "ABSORPTION:120:1:true:false"
    - "REGENERATION:8:2:true:false"
  advanced:
    consume-duration: 1.6
    max-stack-size: 16

texture-value is the Base64 texture property used by the item model. The optional texture-url is retained in the configuration for reference; rendering uses texture-value.

Setting	Purpose
`item.id`	Base Minecraft item. Use `minecraft:honey_bottle` for the Golden Head behaviour shown above.
`item.texture-value`	Base64 texture that supplies the Golden Head appearance.
`effects`	Potion effects in `TYPE:seconds:amplifier:ambient:particles` format.
`advanced.consume-duration`	Consumption time in seconds.
`advanced.max-stack-size`	Maximum number of Golden Heads per inventory stack.

After editing, run /shyamduels reload-practice before creating new items. Existing Golden Heads keep the data they were given.

Command	Permission	Description
`/shyamduels golden-head`	`shyamduels.practice.goldenhead`	Shows golden head admin help.
`/shyamduels golden-head give <player> [amount]`	`shyamduels.practice.goldenhead`	Gives golden head items to a player.

Complex Door Gates

Animated start gates for duel arenas. Full setup guide: Gate Setup.

VIP Kit Editor Tools

Available in the Kit Room / Kit Editor when the player has the matching permission (included in shyamduels.vip):

Armor Trimmer: /shyamduels armor-trimmer (shyamduels.practice.armortrimmer.use)
Shield Customizer: /shyamduels shield-customizer (shyamduels.practice.shieldcustomizer.use)
Shulker Editor: in Kit Room (shyamduels.practice.shulkereditor.use)
Virtual Enchant Table: in Kit Room (shyamduels.practice.enchanttable.use)

See Kit Setup for kit room configuration.

Killstreaks and Auto-GG

Killstreaks: broadcast milestones at configured tiers (killstreaks: in config.yml, toggle modules.killstreaks).
Auto-GG: players can toggle automatic post-match GG messages in /settings (auto-gg: in config).

Right-Click Player Interaction

When modules.practice-right-click-duel: true, players can right-click another player in worlds listed under enabled-worlds.right-click-duel. The default action opens the Player Profile GUI (right-click.action: profile). Set action: command to restore legacy duel-invite behaviour via right-click.commands. See Kit Sharing & Profiles and Configuration Files.

Match-Start Potions

Scans kit splash potions at match start and auto-splashes approved buffs (like Speed II and Fire Resistance). By default (take-from-inventory: false), it splashes these effects without consuming items from player inventories (Minemen Club / MCPVP style). Set take-from-inventory: true in config.yml if you prefer consuming potions from inventories. Configure per kit:

/kit matchstartpots enable <kit>
/kit matchstartpots disable <kit>
/kit matchstartpots scan <kit>
/kit matchstartpots list

Requires shyamduels.admin. See Kit Setup for details.

Custom Kits (Player-Built)

Players create kits via /kitcreator and queue them with /customkits or /customkits play. Admins manage categories with /shyamduels customkits edit-category and reload with /shyamduels customkits reload.

Unlock slots with permission customkits.unlock.<kitId> or grant all with customkits.unlock.all
GUI configs: menus/customkits-*.yml and runtime categories.json
