NeoBB

A custom version of the popular BlockBattles (or Block Battle) game, where originally two, but with this plugin as many as you want, players compete in a turn-based match. Each block does something, like attacking your opponent, damaging him, or whatever else the game mode you're running has to offer.
This custom version aims to provide all your nostalgic servers as game modes.

If you want the full feature set or simply don't want to host it yourself, please consider joining the Hectus Discord server for all the latest news and updates. Read more at the bottom!

Game Modes

This is a list of all currently existing game modes:

• Default: The default NeoBB rule-set, as used by Hectus 2.0.
• Legacy: An old rule-set from Hectus 1.0 (2022-23). This is more complex and unbalanced, but has an insane amount of turns.
• HereStudio: The rule-set of an abandoned server. It plays more like a card game, where each turn just deals damage without any complicated mechanics.
• More Soon: There are many other game modes planned, including the original, which will come soon. They may not release in the public version, but will 100% be on the Hectus Minecraft server.

Usage

To use the plugin, just create a PaperMC or PurPur server and add the plugin to your plugins/ folder.

I highly recommend also downloading the custom world, which can be downloaded here.

Start/Manage Game

Managing games and starting them is also quite simple. There is the /games command, which does all you need.

Start

For starting a game, just do /games start <mode> <players>. If you want to exclude players, you can also do @a[name=!PlayerName] in the parameter.

Stop

Stopping is even simpler, everything you need to do is type /games stop <id>, where the ID will be auto-completed. Each game gets assigned a random ID for internal usage. If you don't know a game's ID, refer to the command below.

List Games

To get info about all currently running games, you can use /games list. This will provide you with each game's ID and info like the amount of players, time left, etc. This can also be used to find out a game's ID in case you need to stop it.

Support & Updates

This plugin will keep being updated with new features and game modes. However, the plugin will be split into an open-source version, which is available here, and a closed-source version with more features available on the Hectus Minecraft server.

Once the Hectus server completely releases, this plugin will probably not be updated as much, to limit the possibility of other servers stealing our content.
