❓ What is it?
LavaFalling is a survival minigame plugin where a massive lava layer slowly falls from the build height down to the void inside a controlled arena. Players are safely teleported to the center of the world, just above the ground, and must fight, run, and survive while the arena continuously fills with lava and the safe area shrinks over time. This plugin is perfect for simple minigames, private events with friends, or server-wide challenges where you want a quick, intense, and fully configurable last-man-standing experience.
🧱 Features:
- Safe teleport to the center of the arena, directly above the highest ground block.
- Automatic world border setup centered on the arena with configurable radius.
- Configurable lava starting height (default 319) and falling speed (layers per second).
- Lava generates full layers from top to bottom until it reaches the void.
- Optional broadcast messages when lava reaches specific configurable Y-levels.
- Fully customizable prefix and all plugin messages via config.yml.
- Commands: /lavafalling (or /lf) start, stop, and reload.
- Permissions: lavafalling.start, lavafalling.stop, lavafalling.reload [LuckPerms].
- Prevents starting a new game if one is already running.
- Prevents stopping when no game is active to avoid mistakes.
- Automatically resets the world border when the game stops.
- Ideal for simple minigames, events between friends, or quick community tournaments.
⚠️ Warning:
Between games it is currently recommended to delete the main “world” folder and restart the server before starting a new LavaFalling match. This guarantees a fresh, clean world without leftover lava, terrain damage, or structures from previous games.
