--- **Everything a duels server needs, in one plugin — and zero dependencies.** Drop in one jar and your players get 1v1 challenges with Best-of-1/3/5, kit-based matchmaking, 2v2–4v4 team duels, party tournaments with a real bracket, one-click rematches, personal kit layouts, live spectating, leaderboards with floating holograms — each match in its own isolated arena world that is created and deleted automatically. --- ## Why EpicDuels? - **Set up in five minutes.** `/duel setlobby`, build one arena, save one kit — done. Everything else is GUI-driven; your players never have to memorize commands. - **No dependency roulette.** No hologram plugin, no world manager, no economy required. PlaceholderAPI is supported but strictly optional. - **Made for real servers, not just duel networks.** Every single feature — matchmaking, rematch, tournaments, spectating, even the join-time lobby handling — has its own config toggle. Run it as a full duels server or as one mode on a survival hub. - **Cheat-proof by design.** Every duel runs in a fresh copy of the arena, placed blocks reset between rounds, kits can only be *rearranged* by players (never modified), and inventory backups survive crashes and disconnects. - **Speaks your players' language.** All messages ship in English and German and live in an editable MiniMessage file — add your own wording or a whole new language without touching code. ## Highlights ⚔️ **Duels the way players expect them** — challenge via GUI (player → kit → rounds → map), clickable Accept/Deny, countdown, victory screens, automatic draw handling with a match clock, and a `[REMATCH]` button after every fight. 🎯 **Matchmaking queues** — players queue per kit and are matched instantly, with live queue time on the action bar. 🎒 **Personal kit layouts** — every player can rearrange any kit's hotbar, armor and offhand for themselves in a drag-and-drop editor (`/duel kits`). Pure reordering, so there is nothing to exploit. 👥 **Parties, team duels & tournaments** — group up (2–8 players), fight 2v2/3v3/4v4 with auto-balanced teams, or run a single-elimination bracket where eliminated players automatically spectate the remaining matches. 👁 **Spectate anything** — `/duel spectate` opens a live browser of all running duels (players, kit, map, duration) — one click to watch. 🏆 **Stats, leaderboards & holograms** — wins, losses, win rate and a consistency-rewarding score; top-10 in chat or as floating in-world holograms (no hologram plugin needed). Optionally sync stats across servers via Supabase or Firebase. 🧩 **PlaceholderAPI support** — `%epicduels_wins%`, `%epicduels_losses%`, `%epicduels_winrate%`, `%epicduels_score%`, `%epicduels_in_duel%` for scoreboards, tab and chat plugins. 🛡 **A lobby that stays pristine** — Adventure mode plus 15 individually toggleable protection rules, with a per-admin bypass that never weakens protection for regular players. ## Getting started 1. Drop the jar into `plugins/`, restart. 2. `/duel setlobby` where players should wait. 3. `/duel arena create map1` → build → set the two spawns → `/duel arena save`. 4. Equip gear and `/duel kit create pvp`. That's it — players open everything else through `/duel`. ## Requirements **Paper 1.21.1-1.21.11** and **Java 21**. Does not run on Spigot or Vanilla. --- Full command reference, configuration guide and setup for multi-server stats: see the [GitHub README](https://github.com/nuroso000/EpicDuels) and the release notes. *Licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — free to use on any server, including revenue-generating ones.
