# Gartic Phone for Minecraft

Turn your Paper server into a complete prompt-and-build party game. Players begin by writing a prompt, receive somebody else's idea, build it in Minecraft, guess what another player created, and continue the chain until every album is ready for the reveal.

How a round works

1. Start a game with every online player using /gstart.
2. Players privately submit an opening prompt through chat.
3. Each player sees their anonymous building prompt in a title and in chat.
4. Builders get three minutes on an isolated Creative-mode grass plot, or the game moves on as soon as everyone uses /done.
5. Players alternate between guessing builds and creating the next version.
6. The server reunites everyone for an automatic, anonymous album reveal.

During the reveal, each new build is positioned beside the previous one and the viewing area expands. Everyone can see the full visual evolution of the prompt instead of leaving each older iteration behind.

Configuration
