FuseChase

FuseChase — One TNT. Keep Running!
FuseChase is a configurable TNT Tag minigame for Paper 26.3. Run, chase and hit another player to pass the TNT before the fuse runs out!

There is exactly one TNT holder at a time. When the TNT explodes, only its holder is eliminated. A new holder is randomly selected from the survivors, and the chase continues from their current positions.

Support for up to 16 players, custom kits, NPC entrances and an arena setup GUI makes FuseChase suitable for dedicated minigame servers or an additional activity on your network.

Gameplay

• One TNT holder: pass the TNT by hitting another player.
  
  
• Tag-back protection: prevent immediate returns to the previous sender; configurable in YAML, with a three-second default.
  
  
• Continuous matches: survivors keep their positions after an explosion.
  
  
• Random reassignment: distance does not affect who receives TNT after an explosion.
  
  
• Shortening fuses: increase pressure as the match progresses.
  
  
• Last survivor wins.
  
  
• Action bar countdowns: display the fuse timer and ability cooldowns.
  
  
• Centered assignment title: notify the initial holder and newly assigned holders after explosions.
  
  
• Configurable elimination effects: particles, sounds, titles and harmless visual lightning.
  

Arena Setup GUI
Create and configure arenas through the admin menu:

• Select the arena region using a wand.
  
  
• Confirm or repeat your selection.
  
  
• Set the waiting lobby, game spawn and spectator location.

Arena selection has no block-volume limit. The plugin does not scan the entire selected region when starting a match.
