MinigamesLib
MinigamesLib
Currently there are 16 released and three unreleased minigames and more are planned to be added soon.
That's the API I'm using in all of my newer minigames. Of course you are free to use it too, be sure to drop me a message and I'll list your project here too. There's Arcade functionality already included which enables you to be able to play all minigames in one run, you just need to install MGArcade.

Development Files (towards MinigamesLib 1.13)
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk. Link: https://drone.io/github.com/instance01/MinigamesAPI/files (use the file in the mid)
I usually upload a new release on bukkitdev every 20-30 commits and sometimes they contain ciritical bugfixes. Here you can download these pre-releases while they're not on bukkitdev yet. You might want to turn off autoupdating in the MinigamesLib config if you use these builds.

Arcade and MinigamesParty Info
I started redirecting people from MinigamesParty as I don't plan on doing big updates on MGParty anymore. It's an old idea/system I was using there, MinigamesLib is my new approach. So how does this new system work?
Pretty simple, it consists of a core, MinigamesLib, and a bunch of minigames you can download seperatly and install on the server. You can now setup arenas for each minigame and change pretty much everything else what the minigame offers for customization. If you now want to have something like MGParty, install MGArcade which will automatically recognize all installed minigames and use the respectively first arena available, and that's pretty much it. A bit more setup work, but more stable and more customization. Also the minigames aren't limited to 1 minute! If there's still big demand on big MGParty updates with new minigames, I'll of course think about it. :)
Enchantments, PotionEffects and Sounds
- Please use the following enchantment names for the kits of all minigames: http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/enchantments/Enchantment.html
- For potioneffects use the following names: http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/potion/PotionEffectType.html
- For sounds use these names: http://jd.bukkit.org/beta/apidocs/org/bukkit/Sound.html
- Here's a tutorial on how to include enchantments and potioneffects in the classes.yml: Default Config explanation and Item Markup tutorial
MySQL
As of v1.4 MySQL Support is fully functional, each minigame creates its own table and will save stats like points, wins and loses into these. To use MySQL enable it in the config.yml of each minigame you want and create a database called "mcminigames". Reload the server, done.
Upcoming version: 1.12 (Uploaded 6th December)
- Fix XP
- Adds spectate command
- Will now use 1.8 titles to display you_lost or you_won message
- Adds option whether to use xp bar levels or not
- /mapi info will now output all arenas with their players
- Adds Holograms as damage indicators
- Make TP Fix distance lower
- Cleanup and some API work
- More user input validation when parsing items
Party system (v1.6)
People can now invite players to their party and join arenas together with their friends, just like many huge networks have these now. To change messages of the party commands take a look at partymessages.yml in the MinigamesLib directory. The main command is /party and shows all available subcommands with small descriptions.
Additional Information and disclaimers
Contact me if you would like to help me out or join the MCMinigames Organisation on github.
This plugin has an autoupdater included which you can turn off in the MinigamesLib config (auto-updating: false). Also, it utilizes Hidendra's Metrics system which sends information to his metrics server like java version, server version, plugin version, player count, OS version/name, Metrics version, which I can later look at and be happy with. Can also be turned off in the Metrics config which can be found at /plugins/PluginMetrics/ (opt-out: true). This is the only plugin having Metrics/Updater, all the minigames from above do not have stuff like that included.

Rewiev & Suggestion
Review
MinigamesLib is a very awesome Pack of Minigames :) I like the plugins very much and I love it to keep looking for updates, because the plugins are so good. Please keep doing stuff like that, I really enjoy that, and thank you for spending so much times in free plugins :)
Suggestions
- PlayerPoints support instead of own Point-System : http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/playerpoints/ - Vip-Hide Support : http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/viphide/
Sry if my english was bad :D
@Sebyoyo16 There is a messages.yml
How to change messages in source code ?
In MGSkywars, when the map is reset after a game, the "new reset method" is very glitchy.
The items in the chests are restored, but they have no quantity. Like when a diamond is restored, it shows a diamond, and the item amount shows a red 0.
I found this in a very big skywars map, the arena bounds cover 2 million blocks.
@AriArk
Several games have been planned, however you can make it yourself if you would like it done quicker using the API.
@BlueFiery
Glad you found the command, will make sure it is added to help.
@Floodeer
Thanks for the suggestion, it will be taken into consideration.
Hey, I was wondering if you were planning on making the Disintegration minigame from your minigames party plugin stand alone with this?
Could you add a command to check your stats of a minigame? Like if I do /stats mgskywars it would show my Wins/Losses
Edit:
Nvm i found the solution, it just wasn't in the /help
Add titles in the arcade to servers 1.8 "Next games is: {game}" For example.
@Elitewolves
What command are you doing?
@Redstone_Pro_73
Glad you like it! If you have any problems, feel free to ask for help.
@minfas_CZ
There are no permissions for joining and leaving standard arenas.
@Toshka17
Ok thanks for the report, this problem will be looked into.
I just want to thank you so much! This plugin helps our server so much
-RedCraft
When ever i try to make an arena nothing happens nothing displays no errors no successes nothing is debugged. I am running bungeecord 1.8 and spigot 1.8 what am doing wrong ;-;
Player can't join arenas because he haven't permissions, i need permission for join and leave arena.
I use latest build spigot 1.8 and latest buid MiniGamesLib 1.13.1 And... Do you have at least one plugin that works properly?

@DanSpedey
Again put the plugin on my server, and again got the same error! http://pastebin.com/v3uFxjfX
this is not a complete log of the error
@geor196
@budopey
Thanks for the suggestions, at some point in the future these games may be made, however if you want them done quicker you can make them yourself with the API.
@TheL0w3R
; can be used in any message to create a new line on MinigamesLib.
I hope you could make a color shuffle minigame. IDK abot coding but since it's like some of your games I hope it's easy
@kwakmantim
Wow, thanks! Never used ; :O
Thanks a lot!
@TheL0w3R
Does ; work?
Is it possible to create a new line in the kit item lore? I tried with /n, \n, \u00A7n and \u00A7\n but it doesn't work.. :/
I would like to set the kit description and the price, like that.
KITNAME Cost: PRICE Description: DESCRIPTION
I can do it adding a new line but I can't :/
