PillarFight

️ PillarFight | The ultimate pillar survival minigame









PillarFight is an action-packed, fully configurable minigame for your Spigot/Paper server. The gameplay is simple yet absolutely addictive: each player starts on their own narrow pillar above the abyss. Every 5 seconds, everyone receives a random item or block. The last player left standing—having sent everyone else plunging into the depths—wins!




The game mechanics

1. The start: The players are teleported to their assigned pillars.
2. The chaos: Every 5 seconds, a random item (building blocks, TNT for blowing things up, snowballs for knockback) drops directly into the inventory.
3. The fight: Players are not allowed to mine the arena map—but any blocks they place themselves can be both placed and destroyed.
4. The goal: Knock your opponents off their pillars! Anyone who falls off dies and becomes a spectator. The last survivor claims victory.

✨ Features

• ️ 100% Configurable: Every single message, menu label, countdown time, and reward can be customized in the config files.
• Automatic map reset: After every match, the arena is completely restored to its original state. No broken maps!
• Dynamic GUI system: An intelligent "Quick Join" button automatically places players into the fullest waiting lobby. A second GUI displays all arenas along with their live status (waiting, in-game, spectating).
• Integrated statistics: Continuously tracks games played, wins, kills, and losses for each player.
• Isolated Arena Chat & Tab List: Players (and spectators) in an arena share a dedicated chat and see only each other in the tab list. No spam for the rest of the server!
• PlaceholderAPI Full support for player prefixes/suffixes from your rank system (LuckPerms, etc.) as well as custom placeholders for scoreboards.
• Console Rewards: Automatically execute console commands at the end of a game (e.g., to award coins/money to the winner and for each kill).
• VIP Features: Server VIPs have the option to force-start games and showcase their status in-game with cool particle effects.
