🌊 Poseidon#

Created and maintained by tastybento.

Poseidon is an immersive underwater survival experience for Minecraft. Stranded after a mysterious shipwreck, you awaken with the uncanny ability to breathe underwater—but there's a catch. Like a shark, you must keep moving to survive.

Welcome to a world where the ocean is both your sanctuary and your greatest threat. From deep-sea ruins to glowing coral cities, Poseidon challenges you to survive, build, and explore in a realm where the sea is your only constant—until you dare to set foot on the dreaded, burning land above.

🐚 Features#

• 🧭 Survival Reimagined: Keep moving to stay alive. Stillness invites danger.
• 🏰 Underwater Realm Building: Construct coral-covered castles and aquatic cities in the deep.
• ⚔️ Challenging Encounters: Face relentless drowned, sea monsters, and secrets buried beneath.
• 🌋 The Water-Filled Nether: Discover a submerged version of the underworld.
• 📖 Lore-Driven Challenges: Complete multi-level quests and unlock mysterious books that expand Poseidon's world.
• 🏝️ Custom Starter Islands: Choose your beginning—simple shipwreck, small monument, or a grand coral-laced domain.

🔧 Setup Instructions#

Recommended: Install alongside the BentoBox Challenges Addon for full Poseidon functionality.

1. Download and install the Poseidon addon.
2. Place it in your /plugins/BentoBox/addons/ folder.
3. Start your server – new worlds for Poseidon will be generated automatically.
4. Let pre-generation run. It only works when no players are online. The more chunks that are pre-generated, the better the performance.
5. Log in and configure challenges:
   • Use /padmin challenges
   • Click the 🕸️ web icon to download the Poseidon Challenges
6. Choose a starting island:
   • Shipwreck with coral
   • Shipwreck with a small monument
   • Shipwreck with both small and large monuments
   • Customize islands using /padmin bp
7. (Optional) Tweak config.yml or use the admin settings GUI.
   • Major changes may require deleting the database and resetting worlds.

⚠️ Notes#

• The End world is currently underdeveloped.
• Lag may occur if islands are not pre-generated. Allow pre-gen to complete before inviting players.

✅ Compatibility#

Player command#

The default player command is /poseidon or /po for short.

Config.yml#

The config.yml file is similar to other GameModes in that there is a section specially for Poseidon settings, and then more generic world and island settings. In Poseidon, islands are called realms. The unique Poseidon settings are:

poseidon:
  air-effect:
    # The time a player can be out of the water without suffering in seconds.
    grace-period: 3
    # Damage per second from being in the air.
    damage: 2
    # The time drinking water will prevent damage from air in seconds. Drinking water is the same as drinking a water breathing potion.
    water-effect-time: 30
  # Chance that water mobs will ignore posiedon's children. In percent.
  # Makes game easier..
  water-mob-ignore: 50
