Transform your server with Living Items, Passive Stats, and Dynamic Abilities.

BuffedItems is a powerful item engine that allows you to create unique custom items with persistent attributes, passive effects, and scripted active abilities—all managed through a comprehensive in-game GUI editor.


🛠️ Core Features

  • 🖥️ Full In-Game GUI Editor: Create, edit, and manage items without touching a single config file. Just type /bi menu.

  • 🎨 Advanced Visuals Engine (v1.7.0):
  • Particles: Attach stunning shapes like Helix, Vortex, Wings, Spheres, and Bursts to your items.
  • Trigger Modes: Play visuals Passive (while wearing/holding) or Active (on ability cast).
  • Priority System: Smart handling for multiple continuous effects.

  • 🛡️ Passive Effects: Grant permanent stats based on where the item is held/worn (MAIN_HAND, OFF_HAND, ARMOR, INVENTORY).
  • Potions: Speed, Night Vision, Jump Boost, etc.
  • Attributes: +Max Health, +Attack Damage, +Movement Speed, +Armor Toughness, etc.

  • ⚡ Active Abilities & Scripting:
  • Trigger complex command chains with a Right-Click.
  • Logic System: Use prefixes like [chance:50], [delay:20], and [else] to create RNG-based mechanics.
  • Internal Tags: Use [message], [actionbar], [title], and [sound] for faster, color-supported feedback.

  • 🔄 Live Item Updates: Change an item's stats or visuals in the editor, and all existing items in players' inventories will automatically update the moment they are used.

  • 🔋 Usage Limits (Custom Durability): Create items with a specific number of uses (independent of vanilla durability).
  • Actions: Choose what happens when depleted: DESTROY, DISABLE (Mark as depleted), or TRANSFORM (into another item).
  • Feedback: Custom sounds and messages for depletion events.

  • 🆕 Item Set Bonuses: Create RPG-style armor sets!
  • Combine specific items (Helmet, Chestplate, Sword, etc.) to unlock Tiered Bonuses.
  • Example: "Wear 2 pieces for Speed I, wear 4 pieces for +10 Health."
  • Manage sets entirely via the In-Game GUI (/bi menu -> Item Sets).

  • 🔨 Custom Crafting System:
  • Create custom shaped recipes (3x3) for your items directly in-game.
  • Advanced Ingredients: Supports Vanilla materials, other BuffedItems, and Exact NBT items.
  • Recipe Book: Automatically registers your custom recipes to the vanilla green Recipe Book for easy crafting.

  • 💎 Advanced Cost System:
  • Set requirements for using items or upgrading them.
  • Supports: Money (Vault), CoinsEngine, AuraSkills Mana, XP, Levels, Health, Hunger, Vanilla Items, and Custom BuffedItems.

  • 🆙 Upgrade Station:
  • Allow players to evolve their items (e.g., Rusty Sword -> Excalibur).
  • Configure Success Rates, Risk Factors (Lose item on fail?), and Failure Actions.

  • 🚩 Item Flags & Protections:
  • PREVENT_DEATH_DROP (Soulbound): Item stays with player on death.
  • PREVENT_DROP: Prevents dropping, storing in chests, or placing in item frames.
  • UNBREAKABLE: Item never loses durability.
  • PREVENT_ANVIL_USE / PREVENT_SMITHING_USE: Restricts item usage in various crafting tables.
  • PREVENT_CONSUME / PREVENT_INTERACT: Blocks eating/drinking or general right-click actions.
  • and many more...

  • 🎨 Visuals & Customization:
  • Full HEX Color support (&#RRGGBB).
  • PAPI Placeholders: Placeholders are accepted everywhere.
  • Leather Armor Dyeing: Set exact colors using hex codes.
  • Custom Model Data support (ItemsAdder/Nexo compatible).

  1. Design in-Game: Use /bi menu to create items. No config editing needed.
  2. Passive Engine: Automatically applies Potion Effects and Attributes based on the item's slot.
  3. Visual Engine: Spawns complex particle shapes and manages BossBars/ActionBars based on item state.
  4. Active Triggers: Executes scripted logic when an item is used, handling Cooldowns, Costs, and RNG.
  5. Live Updates: Any changes made in the editor are pushed to existing items in real-time.

  • Custom Armor Textures: This plugin only sets the CustomModelData tag. It does not manage resource packs or custom armor models. Wearable items (helmets, armor) using ItemsAdder/Nexo IDs will show the custom texture in the inventory, but will render as the default material (e.g., Diamond Helmet) when equipped on the player.
  • Configuration Files:
  • Editing: We recommend using the in-game GUI (/bi menu) as it handles everything for you instantly. However, you CAN edit yml files manually if you prefer! Just run /bi reload afterwards to apply your manual changes.

The main command is /buffeditems (Aliases: /bi, /buffitems).
