How the game works
Players join your arena using commands or signs. When 2 or more players are queue'd up and ready to fight, a 20-second timer starts. After the 20 seconds, the queued players are sent to the arena to fight! Players get a Snowball Gun and a Diamond Sword as weapons. The goal of the game is to kill players on the opposing team as many times as possible. Each kill earns your team 1 point. Also, each kill you make gets you 100 killpoints which can be spent on Upgrades at the Backbone Store. The game lasts 5 minutes, and when the time is up all the players are teleported out of the arena.
Backbone guarantees your server an endlessly addicting minigame your players will adore. With support for up to 5 different Backbone arenas, the game won't ever get dull. Plus, Backbone updates will assure that you have the latest-and-greatest features and fun! So install Backbone today and see just how fun it can be!
DISCLAIMER: Be sure to set your arena, end, and lobbies in the SAME WORLD, otherwise you may get inventory storage problems!

If you would instead like to use Join Signs instead of commands, it's really simple to do! First, you must have permission backbone.sign (OP default). Then simply place a sign and follow this format:
Line1: [Backbone]
Line2: Join
Line3: Arena#
Line4: (leave this line empty)
Line3 is the arena number you want players to join when they click your sign. "1" (without quotes) is what you'd use to join arena 1. Using a Join Sign is a great alternative to using the boring join commands!

Hi, Nice plugin, however I don't think you should be handling everything through the config file. Use Maps, Lists, etc to handle all that stuff. For example, you could easily use lists as queues.
My suggestion is to have the lobby system be configurable, such as entirely disabling that part of it, making the required people need to start the game higher, and changing the waiting time. A lot of people on my server get VERY confused when they aren't sent to the arenas right away,
Hey your plugin is AMAZING!!!
But my question: can you add a language file? Where I can change the language? Because I have a dutch server and I like when game are in dutch...
(Sorry for my bad language im dutch)
@carsonfg
backbone.player should contain permissions for Joining, leaving, and using the store. I'll be making a permissions update though
Whats the player-related perms? Is it all permissions for players or just the /bb join, /bb leave, and /bb store
Which 1 does backbone.player get. All perms or just: Join, Leave, or store
Hello, if you want see the games on my server, the ip is : minecraft23.omgserv.com. I would put the plugin in a few days with 2 maps. My pseudo is Ciryond, i searsh a partnership to advertise, i can do pub on my website and you on your plugin page. Sorry for my bad English, i prefer don't use Google translate to train me for write English . There are not a lot players but we don't do pub, i will just finish my server RP, PVP Faction and MineZ
This looks really cool, but can a permission be added on the /bb join command? I would prefer it if my players were forced to use the sign.
Thanks! :)
And this morning I found that the sign is broken, it starts the game immediately with one player. :(
2 players joined the game later and they used /bb leave .There arent players in the game.When they used /bb join 1 it says : the game is still running.No error in console.
@wyattacarrell
Interesting idea - I'll write that down!
You Should add permissions to use certain items from the shop.
Great Plugin!!
To those reading comments, thanks to Google Translate I am multilingual lol. My first language is English and I'm studying Spanish. Just so you know ;D
@Ciryond
Le jeu est gratuit à utiliser. J'aimerais si votre serveur a elle! Aussi, désolé pour mon français J'utilise Google Translate.
Salut, j'ai un serveur 100% mini jeux et j'aimerais savoir si je pouvais l'utiliser, j'adore ce jeux, je t'encourage à continuer !
Backbone 7.5 has been officially released and is awaiting Bukkit approval. It will be download-ready in no time!
If you find any imperfections, please PM me. I won't be able to read comments as often as Private Messages. Thanks!
@souterain
Yes, I am aware of that and I hope to include that fix in the next update. But thanks for reminding me! And Merry Christmas :D
My players discovered an exploit where if they join a backbone game and then disconnect from the server, they return at spawn with 40 XP and a diamond sword.
Backbone 7.3.8 / Spigot build 1212
@fire54333
Not in the current version but if I see a big need for that, I'll add that option. But in the future theres a good chance that probably won't get added. But in the upcoming v7.5 update, snowballs only deal 1 heart
Is it possible to change the amount of damage the snowball gun does?
Final stage of testing!
We are almost ready to bring you version 7.5! Huge improvements need to be tested though. Only a little longer!
