GauntletBot

Configurable PvP sparring bots for Paper. Practice sword, mace and SMP combat against bots with critical hits, combos and adjustable difficulty, all controlled from an in-game menu.# GauntletBot

GauntletBot adds configurable PvP sparring bots to your Paper server. Spawn opponents, pick a combat style, set the difficulty, and practice your fighting skills, all from a clean in-game menu.

Features

• Three combat styles
• Sword PvP: classic sword fighting with critical hits and combos
• Mace PvP: bots launch themselves into the air and smash down on you, with damage scaling by fall height
• SMP PvP: sword bots that pop totems and eat golden apples when low on health
• Four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. Difficulty changes accuracy, attack speed, movement speed and critical hit chance.
• Critical hits: bots jump and land falling hits for bonus damage.
• Combos: bots chain hits and reduce knockback to keep you in range.
• Random names: every bot gets a random player-style name.
• In-game settings menu: change everything without editing files.
• Per-player settings: each player has their own settings, and changes apply to their bots instantly.
