Categories:
- Display — boss bar vs action bar toggle
- Spawn Location — X / Y / Z coordinates + scatter radius
- World Border — game size and post-game reset size
- Cooldown — duration in
s / m / hformat
Settings are saved to config/gamemod.json automatically.
How it Works
/game start flow
- Checks for an active countdown or game (blocks if already running)
- If cooldown > 0: counts down, displaying progress on all players' screens
- At zero (or instantly): teleports all online players to a random position within the spawn radius, sets world border centred on the spawn coordinates, sets everyone to Survival
Random radius teleport
- If
radius = 0: all players land on the exact spawn point - If
radius > 0: each player gets a random angle and distance within the radius; Y is found automatically using the terrain heightmap (players always land on solid ground, not in mid-air or underground)
Eliminated players
When a player dies while a game is active they are automatically switched to Spectator mode. /game stop returns all spectators to Survival.
Countdown display
| Remaining | Action bar colour | Boss bar colour |
|---|---|---|
| > 10s | 🟢 Green | Green |
| 6 – 10s | 🟡 Yellow | Yellow |
| ≤ 5s | 🔴 Red | Red |
