Races

Races

A race asks players to do something in the world first: kill 5 zombies, mine 16 stone. The first to finish wins. Races are in races.yml; turn them all off with enable-races: false.

The races

hunt	kill mobs	mob types (and MythicMobs mobs)
mine	break blocks	blocks
place	place blocks	blocks

Setting up a race

hunt:
  enable: true
  timeToComplete_seconds: 180
  points: 1              # points the winner gets
  weight: 1              # how often the rotation picks it (0 = never)
  titleMessage: '&bHUNT'
  subtitleMessage: '&aKill %amount% %value%!'
  count-spawner-mobs: true   # do mobs from spawners and spawn eggs count?
  count-mythic-mobs: true    # does a MythicMobs zombie count as a ZOMBIE?
  data:
    ZOMBIE:
      3:                 # an amount: kill 3 zombies
        rewards:
          - reward_2
      5:
        rewards:
          - reward_1

Each round picks one target from data and one of its amounts. The winner gets the rewards listed for exactly that target and amount. The reward names (reward_1...) are defined in rewards.yml under races.rewards; see Rewards.

• Names: modern or legacy names both work (MOOSHROOM or MUSHROOM_COW, COD or RAW_FISH). Names your server version doesn't have (a 1.21 block on 1.8) are skipped, with a console note.
• MythicMobs: in a Hunt race, mythic:<MobType> targets one of its mobs.
• Creative mode: creative-enabled: false stops players in creative mode from taking part.
• Players in disabled worlds and players who turned games off don't take part.

Starting a race by command

/chatgames <race> <target> [amount], e.g. /chatgames mine stone 16. Without an amount, one of the amounts listed for that target is used. Any valid target works, even one not listed; it just has no rewards (points are still given). Tab completion lists the targets.

Global races

Every race can also be played as a global game: the whole server mines 500 stone together, and everyone who helped is rewarded.
