The Building Game
The Building Game
SethBling's 'The Building Game' - optimized for Bukkit
by Stealth2800
Version: 1.1.2-stbukkitlib
Tested on Bukkit: 1.6.4
Description
A plugin'ized version of SethBling's 'The Building Game' that fully automates the game for your server.
The Building Game is similar to the game of Telephone. Players enter an idea they wish to see other players build and the next player in the game builds it. Afterwards, the next player after that guesses and so on, until the game ends. Then players can see if their idea made it through multiple build/guess rounds successfully.
With this plugin, multiple games can run at the same time and are fully automated. No need to create rooms or reset them - the plugin does that on its own. Also, a big difference from the original game is that this plugin allows games to have different numbers of players rather than the default 7. Any odd number starting at 3 and above will work.
Looking for a gameplay video to demonstrate how the plugin works! PM me if you create a video or are interested.
Features
- Multiple arenas
- Multiple games at the same time
- Signs or commands to join games
- Support for theoretically any amount of odd-numbered players (3, 5, 7 [default], 9, etc.)
- Scoreboard like the original game has
- Saves player inventories, exp, hunger, exhaustion, etc. and restores them after they leave their games
- Prevents players from using signs or inventories while in game in order to prevent them from easily giving away their idea

Disclaimer
The original game idea is by SethBling. I claim no credit for the idea of the game. This plugin was created to replicate it and was created entirely by me, Stealth2800.
@Narmahar
I will create a list once the plugin is uploaded. :)
I would like to see any Servers using this, sadly there aren't that exist. And for me it's kinda hard to get 6 other friends because all of them are on a tight schedule... Can you put in a Server list of servers that have this plugin? (Whenever possible)
@Coookiii
I'm aware that plugin exists. This plugin is intended to recreate SethBling's version though.
EDIT: There's also a significant difference. 'Build my thing' is more of a game of Pictionary. One person builds while others try to guess. This game is more like the game of Telephone. First player thinks of something, second player builds it, third player guesses what it is, fourth player builds according to that guess, fifth person guesses again, sixth person builds to that guess, seventh person guesses, then the person that created the idea goes back and can see if their idea made it all the way through correctly.
There's already a plugin like this, It's called BuildMyThing
Nice Idea!
