quicksand.sign - Create Join Signs!
First you want to build an arena. A good size arena has a few different levels, but yours can have as many as you want. Your arena floor must consist of 2 layers: a layer of tnt, and a layer of sand or gravel on top. Make two or three more layers under the first one until you think your players will be satisfied with what you've made. When your arena is complete, add a layer of water under your bottom layer. When players fall in water, their game is over and they lose. After that is done, go to the top layer and run command /qs setspawn. This is where players will spawn when the game starts. To set the place where players go before and after the game, use command /qs setlobby. Now you're good to go! Use a Join Sign or use the join command to play the game! After the winner is announced, the arena will regenerate itself so you can play again! Happy running!
What is it?
Quicksand is a unique plugin based off of the popular minigame TNTRUN. The goal of the game is to run across a layer of sand and gravel without falling through the holes that appear. When players move, the blocks under them disappear - creating hazards in the arena floor. If a player falls through a hole, they move on to the next layer. The game continues until they fall through the last layer and into a pool of water. When players hit water, their game is over and they are taken out of the arena. The last player still playing is the winner!You may have seen people like SkyDoesMinecraft play TNTRUN, and now YOU can join in on the fun!

quicksand.sign - Create Join Signs!
Join Signs
If you don't want your players using /qs join to join the game, you can use Join Signs. To make one, simply place a sign and make the first line say [Quicksand]. Second line should be the name of the arena you want players to join. Next, simply leave all other lines blank. You'll need permission quicksand.sign to make a Join Sign though. Your players don't need anything to use them.Setting up the game

suggestions:
if you make it in the plugin, it will be the best plugin i know.
Version 1.4.9 released, arena regeneration fixes. Added a fail-safe where if arena fails to regenerate, a simple server reload will force it to repair.
@FireBreath15
Please do 999Mockingjay999's improvements! This would make it one of the best plugins ever! :D
If the players are exiting the server, then the game will not reset.
@999Mockingjay999
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll make a note!
There are a few ways that I can see to improve this plugin.
1. Ability to set up multiple arenas.
2. Scoreboards containing the number of players left, and the time until the game automatically ends.
3. Option in config to be able to break any block from stepping on it.
4. Pre Game lobby.
5. Custom start timer. (Game will start after %time%)
6. Signs show the number of players in the arena.
It would be better if you would reset the arena at the beginning of the game. If players are playing and you do a restart, it won't regenerate...
I also dislike that spectators can fly..
Could you make it so it requires the user to have an empty inventory before joining?

I uploaded a 1.7 update but because so many other plugins are doing the same thing, it could take a while to get approved. But v1.4.8.5 works on 1.7 servers as far as I know.
A few updates ago we removed void support. So that's your problem. Just fill in the floor and add a layer of water. That should do it :)
Hi there, can you please tell me if this is going to be updated to 1.7.2? I am getting an error and I'm not sure if it is related to updating my server to 1.7.2 but people fall through the last floor and end up in deep space but never die. Therefore no one wins or dies and the arena does not regenerate. Any idea why? Thank you.
Hey! I would like to use this plugin on my server, and I wondred if u could make it so the game doesn't start directly when 2 players join, because its nearly impossible to play more then 2 players atm. so can you fix like /qs vote (vote for the game too start) otherwise it starts 3 seconds after 2 player joins?
regards

We can't help you without knowing your log , please give us the error it gives you, or be more clear about the context of the problem.
ATon: Same answer, we need your log
Sometimes the arena will not reset... Help pls!
I'm having an issue where the first time the game started, it was fine and everything reset. Now no matter how many people join quicksand, we get send to the lobby for half a second, then immediately get sent to the game, and the game doesnt start. Any help?
@PaucaM
We are probably gonna add something like a perk shop or any other type of rewards soon!
@Nightiky
We are aware of the problem and are gonna think about a solution :)
@ursak
Currently there is no reset game command, but you can leave the game! Let all the players leave the game with /qs leave and then rejoin maybe that will help :D
@xXOscarLPXx
I am not really sure what you mean but I suppose you are meaning the arena thats reset when a game has ended? This function is there to help you and auto reset the arena so you don't have to worry about remake the arena every time... Again not sure if that's what you mean..
Hello, I have the plugin Quicksand but if I do not want to play it again resets it? Why?
