Werewolf
Beware of the full moon!
Are you a capable video-maker? Werewolf needs an updated instruction video!
I am looking for someone interested in making the official tutorial video for the Werewolf plugin. Please contact me if interested.
Want to contribute? Werewolf is open source!
Check out the official repository on github
Rules
To become a Werewolf, you have to get bitten (attacked) by a wolf or Werewolf at night and contract the Werewolf infection. This infection will turn the player into a Werewolf every night, starting the next night, if the player is under a open sky. To prevent turning, the player can stay inside during night.
- When in wolf-form, character skin changes to a Werewolf skin (Only visible to other players)
- When in wolf-form, players will become identifiable only as "Werewolf" in the playerlist and chat (Adding a element of mystery)
- When in wolf-form, werewolves speak in a language which appears as growling noises to normal players.
- A Werewolf automatically turns into his Wolf-form during a full moon, when under a open sky.
- A Werewolf automatically turns into his Human-form at dawn.
- A Werewolf only eats meat!
- A Werewolf gains health from killing mobs (Hunting)
- A Werewolf does high unarmed damage
- A Werewolf moves faster
- A Werewolf jumps higher
- A Werewolf has night vision.
- A Werewolf cannot wield Armor while in Wolf-form, but has a high natural defense
- A Werewolf can growl with /growl
- A Werewolf can howl with /howl
- Vampires cannot be infected with the Werewolf infection
- When a Werewolf gets killed, the player re-spawns in human form.
- Werewolves are very vulnerable to silver weapons.
- Werewolves are flock creatures and live in clans
- Werewolves are the natural leaders of wild wolves
- The Werewolf infection can be cured by drinking the werewolf cure potion
The Werewolf Clans
There are 3 Werewolf clans, each with their own skin and ability.
A werewolf will spread the infection from his own clan.
Any other infection method will result in a random clan.
| Clan Name | Appearance | Clan Skill |
|---|---|---|
| The Silvermanes | Grey wolf | Speed 2, Damage 3 |
| The Bloodmoons | Black wolf | Speed 2, Regeneration 3 |
| The Witherfangs | Comic Wolf | Speed 4, Jump 4 |
A clan member can view the ranked clan member list with the /ww list command.
The three werewolf clans get points for hunting other creatures while in Werewolf form.
Slaying werewolves from another clan, and especially the another clan's alpha, earns bonus points for the clan.
Clan Alpha
The Clan alpha is the natural leader of the clan.
The Clan alpha is selected as the most "senior" of the werewolves in the clan, when the clan has lost its old Alpha.
Ways of losing the alpha are:
- The alpha werewolf was slain by another clan member
- The alpha werewolf has not transformed for some days and is therefore auto-cured (See the auto-cure setting)
- The alpha werewolf has cured himself by drinking the cure potion
Alpha abilities are:
- /howl ability has a stunning effect on all living creatures nearby
- Double amount of damage
- Half the amount of damage taken
Werewolf Maturity
As a werewolf, you gradually mature and gain more control over your condition depending on how many full moon transformations you have experienced:
| Number of tranformations | Maturity |
|---|---|
| 3 | You no longer drop clothes and items when transforming |
| 5 | You can now transform at will with the /werewolf transform command |
| 10 | Gold items no longer causes extra damage on you |
Hunting werewolves
At any time, a bounty is being kept for the killing of a Werewolf.
Players can check the current bounty with /werewolf bounty and add to this bounty themselves by using /werewolf addbounty <amount>. A player can put himself into "werewolf hunting mode" by using /werewolf hunt. This helps him find the nearest werewolf simply using the compass. The player can disable "werewolf hunting mode" by using /werewolf hunt again.
The Werewolf bounty will be paid out to the first player to slay a Werewolf. Players can check the top 10 werewolf hunters with /werewolf top
NOTE: Werewolf hunting requires Vault to be installed.
Werewolf Infection Potions
A player can drink the Werewolf potion to infect himself with the Werewolf infection.
Note that drinking the infection potion must be done during a full moon!
Admins can use the /ww infectionpotion command to hand out infection potions to players
Curing werewolves
A Werewolf player can drink the Werewolf cure potion to cure himself from being a Werewolf.
Note that the player can only drink the cure while in HUMAN form. (Werewolf paws do not play well with bottles).
Admins can use the /ww curepotion command to hand out infection potions to players
Wolfbane Potion
A Werewolf hunter can choose to make use of the "Wolfbane" splash potion.
This potion is brewed from silver essence and is the nightmare of any Werewolf.
On hitting a werewolf, the potion has a 25% chance of un-transforming the werewolf for the duration of the night in addition to dealing poison damage.
Lore books
Finding it hard to get players to understand all the features and rules of this plugin?
No problem, just hand out (or get players to buy) werewolf lorebooks where players can read all about the werewolf lore.
Crafting potions, swords & books
Infection Potion

Cure Potion

Silver Sword

Lore Book

Signs for selling potions, swords & books
Admins or players with the correct permission nodes can place signs for selling Werewolf infection potions, Werewolf cure potions and Werewolf lore books.
Players can use these signs by simply right-clicking the sign to buy a potion or book.
NOTE: When using Vault, the selling prices from the config.yml is used. Without vault, all these signs will give away potions for free.
To use signs, first make sure signs are enabled in the config and place signs with the following lines:
Werewolf infection potion sign
- Werewolf
- Infection
Werewolf cure potion sign
- Werewolf
- Cure
Werewolf wolfbane potion sign
- Werewolf
- Wolfbane
Werewolf silver sword sign
- Werewolf
- Sword
Werewolf lore book sign
- Werewolf
- LoreBook
Werewolf trophies
Slaying a werewolf is quite an accomplishment.
After successfully slaying a werewolf with a any type of sword, the werewolf head is cut off and can be kept by the player as a trophy!

Posted Jul 17, 2012It says with spout I can see myself as a werewolf. Is this true, because I cannot and I am running both SpoutPlugin and the spoutcraft client but I cannot see myself.

I guess I didn't really explain what I meant well. With my suggestion vampires would still be able to become werewolves, who only have abilities while transformed, but while transformed into werewolves they would be unable to use any of their vampire abilities. This way the abilities would never stack and they would only be able to be either a vampire of a werewolf at any given time. I hope this is clearer.

I ultimately turned vampire infection off in permissions. That way, the only way to get infected is with /v o. It does it's job I feel like.

From what I have experienced with this plugin is that, when werewolves change back to their human form, they also change back to their original permission group. So yeah, that wouldn't protect them from the vampire disease to be honest.

Well I haven't really used this plugin, but couldn't you just enable the werewolf group feature and add negative vampire permissions, like - -vampire.kit.fullplayer, to it so that werewolves would not be able to use any of the benefits of vampires and vampires wouldn't be able to use any of the benefits of werewolves? The person would still be a vampire and a werewolf but at least the could only be one at a time then.

Posted Jul 6, 2012Hey Doggy,
Is there any reason werewolves are not able to attack each other? Or is it an intended plugin feature since they of course are all werewolves hehe. Thanks for everything so far! Just donated to your project for all the time you spend working on this! Thank you again! :]

Posted Jul 6, 2012I have a suggestion. Can you give us the option to add a penalty like losing money for dying if you're a Werewolf? Running this plugin and most players are exploiting the auto bounty feature, I'm going to turn it off for now but it was a nice way to encourage people to go after people who become Werewolves.
