What does the license include?

One payment of €25.00 grants a permanent license: the complete Pit plugin with all 35 perks, every event, contract, trade and economy system included — no per-feature upsells — plus updates for the current major version.

Does it have leaderboards, parties or custom enchantments?

No — and we will not pretend otherwise. There are no built-in leaderboards (a LeaderHeads placeholder bridge is included for external leaderboard plugins), no party system (teamwork happens inside the Team Deathmatch event), and no custom enchantments — vanilla enchanting is actively blocked in the arena. The progression loop is perks, permanent upgrades, contracts, bounties and prestige.

Why does it require MongoDB?

MongoDB is the storage backend: profiles, stats, perks, upgrades and prestige all persist there. It is also the resilience story — a circuit-breaker safe mode joins players instantly when the database is unreachable and restores their profiles automatically when it comes back. Redis is optional (a TTL cache plus optional inventory/enderchest/XP sync); it is a plain cache, not a pub/sub bus.

No — one pit world per server, the Hypixel Pit model. You scale horizontally: put one instance per backend server behind your proxy (Plugin.LobbyServer points players at the pit). The optional player sync keeps inventories and enderchests consistent across instances.

Is the gameplay close to the Hypixel Pit?

The Pit is inspired by the Hypixel Pit and rebuilt for 1.8.8 networks: the perk economy, prestige loop, bounties, contracts and events follow the same competitive shape with original engineering underneath.

The Pit is a complete Hypixel-Pit-style arena plugin for Minecraft 1.8.8, shipped as one self-contained jar with the MongoDB and Redis drivers bundled and relocated. Progression runs a 120-level ladder on the vanilla XP curve with 13 level-color tiers and feature unlock gates from respawn (level 1) to prestige (level 120); prestige cycles are gated by grinded gold and pay out renown, the prestige-only currency that buys prestige perks, five tiered permanent upgrades and weekly contracts. Loadouts are built from 35 configurable perks — 21 standard, 14 prestige — across four equip slots with level, prestige and renown gates and mutual-exclusivity rules.

Around the fight: killstreak milestones, a bounty system with particle auras and milestone payouts up to 5,000g, golden heads, 3 major and 5 minor scheduled events with boss bars and top-N gold payouts, six daily and five weekly contracts with rarity colors, an anti-scam trade system with double confirmation, a non-permanent items shop, enderchest sync and hotbar memory. MongoDB runs behind a circuit-breaker safe mode that joins players instantly when the database is down and restores profiles automatically, and a guided 13-step setup wizard with an action-bar helper, progress scoreboard and GUI takes a fresh world to production. PlaceholderAPI (%thepit_player_*%, %thepit_stats_*%), a LeaderHeads bridge, the public ThePitAPI and 13 custom events round it out.
