Morale Boost

A cooperative team morale system for Minecraft servers

This mod is used for RP with admins as gamemasters. Use function morale:add commands to give morale.

Overview

Morale Boost adds a shared Team Morale score that rises and falls based on what your team does together. Sleep through the night, and morale climbs. Watch a teammate die, and the whole team feels it. Morale directly affects every player's movement speed and attack speed, and going beyond the cap unlocks a buff state that makes the whole team faster and hit harder.

Designed for cooperative survival and medieval/roleplay servers.

Features

• Shared morale score — one value for the whole team, ranging from 0 to 150
• Death penalty — every death costs the team -5 morale, with atmospheric flavor messages broadcast to all players
• Sleep bonus — each player who sleeps in a bed grants +1 morale
• Passive drain — morale above 100 slowly drains back down over time (1 point per minute)
• Overflow buff — morale above 100 grants all players a +20% attack speed and +10% movement speed bonus
• Gradual penalties — low morale applies increasing attack speed and movement speed debuffs across multiple thresholds
• Debug command — built-in debug function for server admins

Morale Thresholds

Morale is capped at a maximum of 150 and a minimum of 0.

Morale Changes at a Glance

Event Morale Change Player death −5 Player sleeps in bed +1 Overflow drain (above 100) −1 per minute

The overflow drain only ticks while morale is above 100. Once it returns to 100 or below, the timer resets.

Commands

All commands require operator permissions (/op).

Installation

1. Download Morale_Boost_release.zip
2. Place the .zip file into your world's datapacks folder: <world_folder>/datapacks/
3. In-game or in the server console, run: /reload The pack initializes automatically on load. Morale starts at 100 if no previous value exists.

Compatibility

Version Status Minecraft 26.2 (pack format 107) ✅ Supported Minecraft 1.21.11-1.21.5 Maybe Supported? Minecraft 1.20.x and below ❌ Not supported

This datapack uses the attribute modifier add command syntax introduced in 1.21. It will not function correctly on older versions.

Notes for Server Owners

• The death detection system works by comparing a running total of all player deaths each tick.
• The on_join advancement uses minecraft:tick as its trigger, which fires once on a player's first tick. It is automatically revoked after granting, so it re-fires correctly if a player re-joins.
• There is no GUI or boss bar — morale feedback is delivered through chat messages and the /function morale:status command.
