[WIP] Minecraft Wars

Minecraft Wars simply is a plugin to allow fair fighting between two or more groups.


Coding team:

This plugin is still in an early stage with the backbone almost complete.

Minecraft Wars will add many things to the game.
First, Classes.

Players will be able to chose a class (as of now Builder, Warrior, Healer, PotionMaster, Oddjob and Armorer)

Each class will have pros and cons. This will lead to having to include all classes in a group to be sucessful.

Builder: Has basic building blocks and leather armor
Warrior: Has an iron sword and diamond armor
Healer: has food products and golden apples to share with others
PotionMaster: has basic potion making ingredients including a Brewing Stand
Oddjob: a couple of random items and chainmail armor
Armorer: has raw ingredients, furnaces and a crafting table

Second, Groups.

Groups are still in the idea stage, but this is what they will accomplish:

May have up to 4 groups(number set by server owner)
Players in the same group can not harm eachother.


Third, Abilities

Abilities are also still in the idea stage:

After a time period(between 5 - 10 minutes) if you are still living you get a "perk"
Perks will be randomized per player.
Many different "perks" that will be awarded

Fourth, On death punishment

This is one of the key components that will be starting work on soon:

On death many things could occur(randomized)
1.)Could become a slave worker for an enemy group
2.)Could have "poison effect" (screen goes crazy) but respawns in the same group.
3.)Temp banned from server untill game has finished
4.) Open to suggestions

Fifth, Becoming Victorious

There is many ways to win Minecraft Wars:

1.)Conquer all land so you control everything.
2.)Kill all other players(temp ban or join your group as a slave)
3.)Destroy all of other groups land(Enough so that they can no longer survive)



Although Minecraft Wars is still a work in progress i feel that it can be a great plugin that many servers will choose to download and play. I will probably need help and this could take a long time to make it a playable plugin that ill be bug-free. If you have suggestions or other things please feel free to comment below

I think you should try and make the different classes customizable. Rather than modify and balance them yourself, let the admins and server owners do it. Otherwise, every server running this plugin is just a clone of the other. I think a big part of what makes plugins great, is the versatility that they can offer, meaning more can be done with them sometimes than even the plugin creators planned.

As for the slaves, I think that'd be a difficult thing to do, but there are some ways to do it. For example, you could make it so they can't build/destroy, and can only go back to their team after they've done tasks and given items to their captors. For example, they could do Fishing or hunting. Another possibility for this would be if they could only build/destroy outside of the territory of any group. Then they could do more valuable tasks in exchange for their freedom, such as mining.

 

I am going to make the classes customisable now, we just made them like that while we fix any other bugs with the arraylists etc..
We will also be adding in some other modes like free for all and zombie mode soon!

 

Since you said their will be teams, you could change the name above the players head the the team colour. If you want to but don't know how then you can follow my tutorial http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-teams-name-color-and-wool-hats-asigned-to-player.80835/

 

ProFatal Thanks for the tutorial! I'm pretty sure we will be using this in our plugin!

 

I don't know if it supports tekkit, but i think it should
