About HungerGames

From SpigotMC

Lightweight HungerGames plugin that supports Multiple Arenas, Kits, & Teams.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
JT122406 has taken over this resource and will be providing updates for it from here on out.

HungerGames is a simple yet fun, and very lightweight PvP arena system.
It provides advanced kits, spawns, and a very simple arena setup. If you've never heard of the books/movies HungerGames, it's basically a free for all. You must hunt for food and items, and attempt to kill others before they kill you. The last man standing wins!
Unlike some HungerGames plugins, this one does not require you to setup a whole server for the game. You can just easily setup multiple arenas anywhere in the world.

This is a revamp of one on my old favourites that has since been abandoned.
This plugin was originally developed by bob7l and then later taken on by Spoopy. It's now my turn to bring this plugin into the 1.13+ world.

VERSION NOTES:
- This plugin will ONLY work on 1.14.4+
- This plugin will NOT work on 1.13.2 or lower and will never be updated to work on those versions. If you would like to try this plugin on those version you can download Spoopy's old version HERE

FEATURES:
- Create multiple arenas for your players to play in
- Auto-updating lobby signs
- Custom min/max players and arena timers per arena
- Very lightweight
- Does not require its own server or world
- Vault economy support
- Simple arena setup
- Random items will generate in arena chests
- Bonus chests will generate even more items (separate loot table)
- Per-Arena Loot Tables allows for even more customization
- Spectating Feature allowing players to watch the game close up
- Smart mob spawning engine with customizable mobs also supports MythicMobs
- Highly configurable
- Customizable kits
- Per-Arena Kits
allows for even MORE customization
- Customizable messages
- Player teams
- Full rollback System
- Leaderboard placeholders via PlaceholderAPI
- World border system, pushes players towards the center of the arena when time is running out
- Party Support with Parties and Friends Extended Edition for Spigot and BungeeCord/Velocity and Parties by AlessioDP

COMMANDS & PERMISSIONS:
see WIKI

ARENA SETUP:
see WIKI
NOTE: An arena's lobby signs WILL NOT WORK in vanilla spawn protection, make sure to either put your lobby signs outside of vanilla spawn protection, disable vanilla spawn protection or move vanilla spawn protection.

CONFIGURATION:
- Config.yml
- Items.yml
- Mobs.yml

LEADERBOARDS / PLACEHOLDERS :
- HungerGames stores wins in a leaderboard file, this data can be accessed via ( PlaceholderAPI) placeholders and used in other plugins such as scoreboard or hologram plugins.

API:
- HungerGames has a pretty open API, check out our JavaDocs

VIDEO TUTORIAL:
Awesome video tutorial by @SoulStriker_ which showcases both the setup (including configs) as well as gameplay.

MAJOR CHANGES:
Since Spoopy's version I have done some major changes to the plugin. I went thru the discussion tab on his resource and made sure to fix any bugs that were reported, and implement features I felt would fit nicely.
