Minigames are small games inside of the game Minecraft. Several plugins have been used to make a wide variety of games for players to enjoy.
Minigames are small games inside of the game Minecraft. They are uniquely developed in-house with player enjoyment in mind. To join a minigame, head to the '''/gamelobby''' and right click one of the minigame signs.
Let's start off with some basic [[Commands#Minigames |commands]].  
* To join a minigame, you type '''/mgm join [arena name]'''. For example <code>/mgm join KodaCove</code>
** Though, joining minigames will be done primarily through join signs, which you will do by right-clicking a sign in the '''/gamelobby'''.
* To exit a minigame, all you need to do is type '''/mgm quit''', or right click a minigame quit sign in the lobby of a map.


=== Gamemodes ===
== Commands ==
The server has ''many'' gamemodes for users to try out. Here is every gamemode on the server, with some of the more popular ones first.
: ''Main Article: [[Commands#Minigames]]''


==== Team Deathmatch ====
To manually join a minigame via commands, you can use <code>/mgm join <arena></code>. To quit, use <code>/mgm quit</code>, or right click a quit sign in the minigame's lobby.
Team Deathmatch (TDM) is a game where two teams face off against each other, attempting to get a certain number of kills before the other team does. An alternative version of the gamemode exists which pits four teams against each other for larger groups of people.


==== Capture the Flag ====
== Tokens ==
The point of CTF is to get into your enemies' base, grab their flag (by right clicking it with an empty hand), and take it back to your base. Capture The Flag is a gamemode that involves a lot more planning and strategy, rather than the straightforward killing presented in team deathmatch. Tactics vary between arenas.
Tokens are a unique currency found only in the game world and are given as a reward for performing well in minigames. Winning most minigame gives you a 1 in 2 chance of of receiving tokens. Players receive 5-10 tokens at a time (with a max of 30 tokens per day). These tokens can be spent on Minigame Collectibles which are assorted cosmetic items you can wear in the game lobby and in most minigames. These include particle effects, custom hats, arrow trails, and more. There's also a 1 in 50 chance at the end of every minigame that one very lucky player will receive a random collectible!


===== One-Flag CTF =====
For nerds, the chance of getting tokens is <code>1 / (2 * (highestScore - yourScore + 1))</code>. Scores are actually calculated using a hidden variable which attempts to track all actions that help your team such as flag-related events (grabbing the flag or killing someone with the flag) in [[Minigames#Capture_the_Flag|Capture the Flag]].
One-Flag CTF is a variation of Capture the Flag which only has one flag in the center of the base. One team must grab that flag and carry it over to the enemies' base and right click the capture flag sign with an empty hand.


==== Infection ====
: ''The daily cap for Minigame Tokens is multiplied by 1.5 on Minigame Nights, resulting in a cap of 45 tokens. ''
Infection contains 2 teams: the survivors and the infected. The survivors' ultimate goal is to survive as a human for the duration of the game, and outlast the infected. The goal of the infected is to find and kill the survivors to bring more to their side. Survivors win by living until the round ends, and infected win by killing all the survivors.  
: ''The daily cap for Minigame Tokens is multiplied by 2 if a boost from the [[Store]] is active, resulting in a cap of 60 tokens.''
: ''Finally, if a [[Store]] boost is active during Minigame Night, the cap rises to a whopping 90 tokens.''


==== Juggernaut ====
== Minigame Night ==
One player starts out as the juggernaut, which is signified by their red name in the scoreboard. Juggernauts are supposed to kill everyone else to get points. Everyone else needs to kill the juggernaut to become the juggernaut, then try not to die themselves.
Minigame night is an event that occurs every Saturday from 4-6 PM eastern time. Players from all different time zones come together to enjoy minigames as a large group. This brings our community together and provides a great experience to enjoy the server's minigames together. It's amazing how close you get to someone that you hack to pieces ;). Overall, it's a fun time, and a great chance for members of the community to interact with each other. At the end of the night, we put NPCs of the MVPs of the night on stands and take a screenshot to commemorate the week.


==== Free for All ====
== Gamemodes ==
The goal of FFA is simple: kill EVERYTHING! No teams, all you do is take your weapon and kill everything that moves. First person to reach the set number of kills, wins.
The server has many unique gamemodes for all types of gameplay, from combat to spleef to arcade games. The following is a complete list of all gamemodes.
 
=== Team Deathmatch ===
Team Deathmatch (TDM) is a game where two teams face off against each other in a classic fight to the death. The first team to reach the winning score takes the crown. An alternative version of the gamemode exists which pits four teams against each other for larger groups of people.
 
=== Capture the Flag ===
In Capture the Flag, both teams are trying to rush to the other team's base to steal the flag while also keeping defenders on guard to protect their own flag. To grab a flag, you must right click it with an empty hand, then bring it back to your base and capture it the same way. This gamemode involves a lot more planning and strategy than the straightforward killing presented in gamemodes like Team Deathmatch. Tactics vary between arenas.
 
==== One-Flag Capture the Flag ====
One-Flag Capture the Flag is a variation of Capture the Flag which only has one flag in the center of the map. One team must grab that flag and carry it over to the enemies' base to capture it by right clicking the capture sign with an empty hand.
 
==== Siege ====
Siege is a variation of Capture the Flag which simplifies the goals of the teams. One team defends their flag while the other attempts to steal the flag and capture it in their own base.
 
=== Infection ===
In Infection, Survivors must take shelter inside nooks and crannies littered throughout the map to survive the horde of Infected for roughly ten minutes. When a Survivor dies, they join the Infected in the hunt for Survivors. Survivors win by living until the round ends, while Infected win by killing all of the Survivors.
 
'''''Warning:''' Make sure to follow our minigame rules on proper sportsmanship. If you become Infected, don't hunt down survivors whose locations you learned as a Survivor unless their locations have been found by another Infected or they are the last Survivors.''
 
==== Hide and Seek ====
Hide and Seek is a variant of Infection in which the Survivors have taken upon the appearance of blocks and are hiding amongst many other blocks on the map. The gamemode plays a lot like Prop Hunt, though in this version the Survivors become Hunters upon death.
 
=== Murder ===
In this hidden role game, one of your peers has become a murderer. They've been given a knife and are tasked with killing the villagers. They must act quick, as the villagers can pick up 10 scrap to craft a gun, and one lucky villager even spawns with a gun. If the murderers takes too long, suspicion will quickly rise as the villagers wonder why you haven't crafted a gun yet. So be quick, but stay stealthy.
 
=== Juggernaut ===
One player spawns as Juggernaut whose goal is to kill as many players as they can to get points. Everyone else must attempt to kill the Juggernaut to become the Juggernaut, beginning the cycle anew.
 
=== Free for All ===
As the name implies, Free for All players have one simple goal: kill everyone in sight. The first fighter to reach the required score wins.


==== Last Man Standing ====
==== Last Man Standing ====
LMS is similar to Free for All because you need to kill everything you see, but every player has one life. This gamemode requires lots of strategy with determining when to run away from an enemy, who to attack, and more.

If you decide you want to quit, use '''/ma leave'''. Once you join, select a class from one the signs available. You can see the inventory of each class by right clicking the signs. Once your class is selected, ready up by hitting the iron block in the lobby. Enjoy fighting against an endless horde of monsters!

=== Thimble ===
In Thimble, players are placed on a diving board and tasked with leaping into a pool without hitting one of the solid blocks. The game features three variants:

* Always make sure your flag is properly defended by at least one or two teammates.
* If a player carrying the flag falls off the map, it will fall down to the ground and not return for a minute. During this time, the team whose flag has dropped can push hard on their offense since they have no flag to defend. The opposing team should then strengthen their defenses, or send a player or two to hide in the enemy's base until the flag respawns to grab the flag while they're all gone.


=== Tips ===
=== Infection ===
Communication is crucial in any form of team-based game modes. To properly communicate with your team, you should join the '''/discord''' server. In CTF, always make sure your flag is properly defended. Some arenas are in the sky, and if the flag carrier falls to the ground, the flag will remain down there for a minute. During this time, the team whose flag has dropped can go entirely on all offense since they have no flag to defend. The opposing team would then (logically) go entirely on defense to compensate for the fact that the entire other team will be charging them. It's important to note that if the flag is dropped on a half slab, it will disappear, and will take a minute to respawn. Infection is primarily hide n' seek. The infected are a lot faster and stronger than the survivors are. Though it is possible to fight the infected, it's recommended that you don't to improve your chances of survival. Hiding provides better results.

These tokens can be spent on Minigame Collectibles which are assorted cosmetic items you can wear in the game lobby and in most minigames.

Finally, if a Store boost is active during Minigame Night, the cap rises to a whopping 90 tokens.

Minigame Night
