Don't be last is a minigame plugin: every competing player gets one random challenge per round (mining, placing blocks, eating, ...). You have to do this challenge as fast as possible. If you are the last one to complete the challenge you will be eliminated.

Designed for a medium group of friends who want quick, tense challenges against each other.

Last To Kill A Chicken Dies

Requirements
Server Paper (or compatible fork) 1.21+
Java 21
Players At least 2 survival (non-spectator) players to start a session (configurable)
Dependencies None

Built against Paper 1.21.11; test on the Paper build you run in production.

How it works

  1. An admin runs /lastcall start. Everyone who is in Survival (not Spectator) at that moment is locked into the roster for this match.

  2. Each round, the plugin picks a challenge from a large pool. Difficulty is limited by how many players are still competing.

  3. While the round is active

    • If exactly one competing player has not completed the challenge, they get a large title + chat message and are eliminated.
    • If two or more players are still incomplete, no elimination countdown runs until someone catches up.

  4. If everyone has completed at least once this round:

    • With mercy enabled, and everyone has completed it within time, everyone survives.
    • Without mercy, the last player will be eliminated.

  5. Eliminated players become spectators until the match ends or an admin runs.

  6. The last competing player wins.

Mid-join: players who were not on the roster when the session started are set to Spectator if they join during a match.

Commands

/lastcall times Console / player lastcall.admin.reload Print loaded timing values (seconds) and YAML keys; use after reload to verify.
/lastcall mercy window <seconds> Console / player lastcall.admin.reload Writes mercy.all-must-complete-within-seconds-from-round-start to config.yml and applies it. 0 = no time limit when everyone finishes.

Permissions

Permission Default Purpose
lastcall.admin.start op Start a session
lastcall.admin.stop op Stop a session
lastcall.admin.reload op Reload config; mercy subcommands also save config.yml
lastcall.scoreboard true Toggle the LastCall sidebar

Configuration (config.yml)

On the server, edit plugins/LastCall/config.yml. The bundled file starts with a comment block listing every time-related key (all in seconds).

After editing by hand, run /lastcall reload (or restart), then /lastcall times to confirm what the server loaded.

game

Key Default Meaning
min-players 2 Minimum survival players online to allow /lastcall start.
first-round-delay-seconds 3 Wait after start before the first round begins.

round

Key Default Meaning
between-rounds-seconds 4 Pause after a round ends before the next challenge.
last-sole-player-elimination-delay-seconds 3 When only one player has not completed, how long until they are eliminated if they still fail.

mercy

Key Default Meaning
everyone-survives-when-all-completed true If true and everyone completed, normally nobody dies that round.
all-must-complete-within-seconds-from-round-start 90 If > 0, each first completion must be within this many seconds from round start for full mercy. If everyone finishes but the window is violated, the last player to complete is eliminated. 0 disables this rule.

In-game without editing the file: /lastcall mercy window <seconds> (alias venster) and /lastcall mercy survive on|off (alias iedereen).

season

Key Default Meaning
after-winner-delay-seconds 10 After a winner, wait this long before reviving everyone / reset.
auto-start-next-delay-seconds 0 If > 0, after reset automatically start a new match after this many seconds. 0 = require /lastcall start again.

difficulty

Key Default Meaning
tier-1-min-alive 10 While at least this many players are alive, only tier 1 challenges.
tier-2-min-alive 7 From this count upward (and below tier-1 threshold), up to tier 2.
tier-3-min-alive 4 From this count upward, up to tier 3.
max-tier-when-few-alive 2 When alive count is below tier-3-min-alive, never pick challenges above this tier (caps brutality for small lobbies).

HUD (what players see)

  • Title (center of the screen) when a new round starts — the task stays visible for several seconds. Competing roster players who join mid-round get the same title.
  • Boss bar — the green fill matches completion progress.
  • Sidebar scoreboard — task line, progress, and per-player completion. Toggle with /lastcall scoreboard.

Installation

  1. Download lastcall-1.0.1.jar from your build output (build/libs/) or from Modrinth.
  2. Place it in the server's plugins folder.
  3. Start or restart the server.
  4. Edit plugins/LastCall/config.yml if you want non-default timings or difficulty.
  5. Run /lastcall start when enough players are online.
