GlobalWarming

Minecraft Server Java Edition (Spigot) plugin which adds game changing climate change mechanics.

Developer Setup
There is a Kanban board on Github where I'll be prioritizing work, feel free to help work on any of the tasks.
Pull requests welcome! This is a very new project and I appreciate contributions.

Ever had the hankering to turn a game meant for fun into a emulator of one of the modern worlds toughest challenges?
Observe the Prisoner's Dilemma first hand!
Players are best off when they co-operate and agree to reduce their emissions
However, each individual player typically believes they are better off for themselves to emit as much as they wish.
Avoiding a Tragedy of the Commons might be fun! If the players dont play nice and end up dealing with the consequences, they might decide to make an agreement to fix the planet.

Every furnace burn causes a "Contribution" to emissions with an associated numerical value (based on the model)
Every tree growth causes a "Reduction" from emissions with an associated numerical value (based on the model)
The global temperature is a function of the net global carbon score.
As the global temperature rises, the frequency and severity of negative climate damages increases.
Players can purchase "carbon offsets" which creates a tree-planting bounty for other players to furfill.

Scoreboard Integration - Players can compete for carbon neutrality! The worst polluters can be shamed.
Economy Integration - Carbon Offsetting using your in-game currency! Set up tree-planting bountys
Carbon Scorecard - Each player can see their latest carbon footprint trends via command line.
Multi-world - You can experiment with this plugin on one of your worlds to test it out!
Custom Models - The inner numerical workings are configurable as possible. Set thresholds, probabilities, and distributions.
Database storage - Load data on startup, queue DB changes to be done async and at intervals (instead of as they happen, that'd kill performance), and empty queue on shutdown.
Highly configurable - Almost everything will have some degree of configuration to suit your servers needs.
Efficient - Despite major mechanics changes and an extensive event listening setup, I plan to optimize this plugin to be suitable for up to medium to large servers.

Higher temps inherit the damages from the lower temps

Global Temp	Effect 1	Effect 2	Effect 3	Effect 4
14.0 C	None
15.0 C	Some mobs spawn less	some mobs spawn more
16.0 C	+1 Sea level rise	Some fish die	Ice/Snow stops forming
17.0 C	+1 Sea level rise	Flora species growth stunted	Aquatic life stops spawning	Ocean flora/fauna dies
18.0 C	+1 Sea level rise	Area Potion Effect Clouds	Farm yields lower	Snow/Ice melts
19.0 C	+1 Sea level rise	Forest Fires	Slower Health Regen	Frequent T-Storms
20.0 C	+1 Sea level rise	Severe Forest Fires	Violent T-Storms	Permanent Slowness Effect

These are just a sample of the possible effects, these will be configurable and implement randomness and probabilities.

Species have a temperature range for which they can survive
Plants also have niches (Sunlight, Temperature, Water, Nutrients, CO2, Soil, etc)
