Most heroes don't get their powers in a lab. On your server, they will. One bottle at a time.
CompoundV is a modular ability plugin inspired by The Boys. Players drink experimental serums to roll for super powers — from flight and heat vision to a one-shot chest beam that vaporizes anyone in its path. Every ability has real controls, real cooldowns, and real consequences.
🧪 Drink. Pray. Survive. 🧪
| Serum | Color | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Compound V | 💙 | The classic. Random ability, permanent until death. Heroes are extremely rare. |
| Temp V | 💚 | A weaker, time-limited dose. Power fades after a configurable duration. |
| V One | 🩵 | The refined formula. Only rolls top-tier abilities. |
| Anti V | ❤️ | The cure. Drink to remove your current ability. |
| V-Null Virus | 🟣 | A bio-weapon. Infects and strips abilities from Compound V / Temp V / V One users on hit. |
🖱️ Right-click a bottle to drink. After a short activation, your power is unlocked.
All serums are crafted at the workbench using a chain of ingredients. Use /cv tutorial to receive the in-game handbook with every crafting step.

💀 What happens when I die with an ability?
By default, you lose it. Same risk Vought's heroes never had — and exactly what makes serums valuable and PvP genuinely tense.
⏱️ How long do Temp V abilities last?
The duration is rolled per drink between min_duration_minutes and max_duration_minutes (default: 15–120 min). When the timer runs out, the ability fades automatically.
🎲 Why is The Patriot so rare?
By design. Default weight is 1 against a combined pool of ~100+, so expect many bottles per Patriot roll. Tweak the weight in config.yml if you want him more common.
🧪 Can two players have the same ability?
Yes. Every drink rolls independently — there's no global lock.
🔧 Can I disable abilities or change roll chances?
Yes. Set any ability's chance to 0 in config.yml to disable it, or adjust the number to influence roll frequency. Run /cv reload to apply without restart.
🌍 What languages are supported?
English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Turkish, Russian and Simplified Chinese ship out of the box. Set language: en (or de, es, fr, hi, ru, zh) in config.yml. Drop a custom file into plugins/CompoundV/lang/ to add more.
