Minecraft “Skywars” Server Plugin

This is a skywars game I created working with the non-profit youth gaming community Lost Tribe. It runs in a Minecraft server plugin and includes systems for creating arena systems, managing and organizing loot tables and other aspects of arenas, and controlling games.

This is the second Minecraft server game that I made for Lost Tribe. While it lacks the team system that made the first game so difficult, it has new complexities in other places, most notably in that skywars is a game in which players are allowed to freely place and break things, but they must not break parts of the arena, and all changes to the arena made during a match must be restored afterwards. This is particularly difficult when there are so many possible interactions, including explosions, burning, and more that must not only be detected but also be traced back to the arena in which they took place so that they can be restored after a match. Additionally, I had to do a lot of work to clean up mistakes and obsolete code left over from the paintball game and the template I was given at the start.
