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. |
🖱️ Right-click a bottle to drink. After a short activation, your power is unlocked.

🔴 The Patriot — like Homelander
The face of Vought. Untouchable, arrogant, absolutely lethal. Compound V's rarest roll — the V One variant is even stronger.
✈️ Permanent flight — automatic, no toggle- 🔥 Heat Vision — press F to toggle a high-damage eye beam
- 👁️ X-Ray — Sneak + Right-Click to reveal nearby entities through walls
- 🚀 Jump Start — Sneak, look up, then Jump to launch yourself skyward
- 💥 Sonic Boom Landing — fall from 30+ blocks for a devastating impact explosion
- 💪 Permanent Strength III, Resistance II, Regeneration & +10 bonus hearts
🩸 V One variant adds Strength IV, Resistance III, fire resistance, faster flight and a stronger Jump Start.
🟡 The Veteran — like Soldier Boy
The original supe. Pissed off, off the grid, and packing nuclear-grade firepower in his chest. V One exclusive.
- 💪 Passive Strength V and Resistance III
- ☢️ Chest Beam — Sneak + Right-Click to fire a thick yellow energy beam for 3 seconds
- Tears through blocks · ignites everything it touches · melts players and mobs
- Strips abilities from any supe it hits — yes, even another Patriot
- 💥 Ground Zero activation — releases a massive visual shockwave on cast (no terrain damage)
- ⏳ 45 second cooldown — use it wisely
✈️ Flight
Simple, clean, permanent. Vanilla creative-style flight controls. No combat boosts — just the sky.
🔥 Heat Vision
Press F to fire a long-range laser from your eyes. Configurable damage, range and whether it ignites blocks/entities or breaks glass and leaves.
⚡ Speedster — like A-Train
Press F to toggle Speed IV. Small Resistance bonus while sprinting. Outrun anything that breathes.
💪 Super Strength
Permanent Strength III and a Resistance bonus. No toggle, no cooldown. You just hit harder. Forever.
👻 Invisibility
Press F to vanish (Invisibility II) with a Resistance bonus. Same control as Heat Vision — your ability, your stealth.
♨️ Fire
A passive ring of fire around you ignites enemies automatically. Comes with Fire Resistance. Walking through a village has never been more chaotic.
