HyperStones is an extremely configurable item **upgrade** plugin that introduces special items that can be used to upgrade weapons and armors inside the anvil. **Spigot Version required**: 1.8.x - 1.20.x ## Upgrades Upgraded Armors will grant greater protection, while upgraded Weapons will grant greater damage.\ Upgrades can be configured to require XP or Money (Vault required). ## Items ### Shards Shards are dropped with a configurable chance by mobs or mined blocks. Inserting an upgradable item (weapon or armor) and a shard inside an anvil you will be able to upgrade your item. ### Shields Shields are dropped with a configurable chance by mobs, mined blocks or during an upgrade.
