MuffinGames
MuffinGames turns your server into a high-stakes Runners vs Hunters race. The Runners must complete randomized goals โ obtaining specific items or earning advancements โ before the Hunters track them down and the clock runs out.
This is the free edition: the complete game, free to download and run, including on monetized servers and in monetized videos/streams. MuffinGames Pro adds the show โ the animated Hweel, nickname/skin disguises, and a broadcast-grade win screen (see the comparison below).
Inspired by Sloimay's CamGames plugin, as used by Camman18 in his "Speedrunning random items while viewers hunt me down" series.
โจ What you get (free)
- Full Runners vs Hunters gameplay โ two teams, one objective race, one timer. The complete game, not a demo.
- Seed-aware goal roller โ
/random_goalinstantly picks a goal. It's smart about what it picks: items abundant near your world's spawn show up far more often, common starter items get a boost, and rare items stay rare but still possible. - Items and advancements โ roll for survival items, advancements, or a balanced 50/50 mix.
- Riggable goals โ force a specific goal for events/showmatches via the optional rigging argument.
- Flexible game flow โ timed games, untimed games, pause/resume, manual end, instant world regeneration.
- Admin quality-of-life โ freeze players, timed whitelist, automatic stat resets.
- Zero dependencies โ drop it in and play.
The free goal roll is instant and clean โ it picks and announces the goal in chat with no animation. The full animated Hweel (a physical, spinning, ticking wheel that snaps onto the winner) is a Pro feature.
