Hunger Games
About
Hunger Games is a minecraft server mod which enables any user to host Hunger Games on their server. The plugin has features which include, and not limited to, everything you see in the classic movie. The plugin features hidden chests, sponsorships, and sudden deaths! Not only does this plugin include all of the confusing details from the actual event, it automates them all for you! When downloading this plugin, we know you have two things in mind: Does it work to the extent that I want it to, and how much space is this going to take up? Easy. This plugin has been extensively tested and fleshed of all erroneous code, and made sure to be efficient as possible, while using only a fraction of data. Here, we made sure to emphasize that ANYONE can run a successful games on ANY server. Using this plugin, you can have the server that booms with a huge number of users playing, and a dedicated server for only Hunger Games, and the only thing you need is this plugin!. Also, if you're a smaller server owner, you can use this plugin alongside your other favorite plugins and still play a game or two with some friends. The plugin has NO dependencies, but also works with other plugins if you wish. Storing your players' stats is now a breeze. With large databases or just simple text documents, player kills, wins, deaths, points, and total games played are stored in either a MySQL database or a text document. What makes this plugin the best, is that everything that could possibly turn your games from boom to bust are configurable! Nearly everything is configurable and if there is something that is not but you want configurable, just ask or submit a ticket and we will try to accommodate you. Also when we update the default config, you don't have to let it regenerate or anything. It just adds the options that were missing for you.
Databases
- MySQL - When available and specified in the plugin's configuration file, the mod will take full use of database provided by you locally or externally. Simply enter the database information, and player stats will be stored safely away in the database. Changing data is also as easy as a command, or the administrator can choose to push data through a GUI. No confusing SQL queries!
- YML File - If you don't have a MySQL Database available, the plugin will use a yml document to store player data. Although this is not recommended, this provides an easy way for users to view and edit player stats.
Requirements
No plugins required! There are no other plugins required to run this plugin. Although, it is suggested that you get plugins for anti-cheating and multi-world to make it easier to use this plugin.

Can anyone at least explain the very basics, like how large an area should I have, and what do I do, go in an set the corners and spawn points (all 24 or?) ?
Soon with Hunger Games! :) Play.StrayCraft.Net
@SSzretter
Currently no, there's no official walk through besides the commands and permissions pages. However, the team should have example pictures and videos made available sometime this week.
Is there any documentation on how to actually set this up and how it works after you drop the jar in the plugins folder?
Yes of course. The game will run wherever you set the boundary.
Hi, Just a quick question, can i have regular server and run this plugin on a different world. So i can have my survival server running and a hunger games in a different world? Thanks!
@rnoa
the 0 is how many points the players have, so does not get disabled, doesnt affect other worlds, just put chests around set the spawns and corners. You can put chests in any spot you like. And no mercy time yet that will be added soon but for the moment it is 0
Hi, I've just installed the plugin on my server and I am about to create a world for it with multiverse. I have some questions though: 1. There is [0] in chat now appearing before each player's name. Is it the plugin that has created it or multiverse? What is it for and how do I disable it? 2. I don't find any information how I configure everything step by step and how the game will work for the players. Am I supposed to put chests in a ring in the arena or not? What's the "mercy" time for the players? What happens when the players die? 3. How will this plugin affect the other worlds?
I have never used a hunger game plugin before and I need more precise information about how everything works. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
@abertonica
Or you could download one the latest dev build that we host on our site.
Alright!! sounds good!!
@abertonica
wait for bukkit to accept 1.0.7, that has the ability to set a higher max player amount and idk when 1.0.8 will be probably soon but i am going to be adding a forcefield to stop them. And have ability to modify placeable blocks.
@pupnewfster
That would be great seen as how on the server I own, many more players want to play hunger games at one time and i cant just host 10 different games. It would be easier to host a few games with many player slots. At least make it modifiable so it can either be realistic, or totally different. As you say, "Here, we made sure to emphasize that ANYONE can run a successful games on ANY server". Right now, my players aren't considering a max slot of 24 a success : / other wise great plugin!!! Very efficient. Maybe add a force field to keep players from leaving the hunger games area in the next update as well. When do you think that will be?
@TheHuffen
map auto regenerates, And in 1.0.7 you can modify which blocks are breakable and in 1.0.8 once we are done you will be able to edit which blocks are placeable
Can you change in the config which blocks are breakable/placable? And does the map auto-regenerate?
I've not been able to test this, as I'm on my phone :/
@abertonica
The reason it is like that is to be more realistic like in the real hunger games that had 24, yet i think i can change it to be modifiable in config.yml, will add in 1.0.7 and will then change the specator spawn number to 0 so specator spawnpoint will have to be reset. The maxPlayers config option will also be max spawns
ok, thank you. Also, I noticed that the max number of spawns was 24... does that mean the max number of players is 24? And if so can you change that to unlimited? or a much higher number like 100, 200, or 500??
@abertonica
At the moment /hg setcorner 1 and /hg setcorner 2 This sets the corners of were the chest randomizer will look for chests We have yet to add a feature that stops you from leaving that area. So use world edit to make like walls or something
Or is the setcorner command used to define the border/ff of the area wanted?
So I quickly looked over the about, and the commands, and did not see a way to set a boundry. Does this happnen automatically? Is it an option in the .yml?
@Rickious
Yah we dont like forcing players to join if they dont want to. But glad you like it
