Plants Vs. Zombies
Intro to PvZ
Plants vs. Zombies is the minecraft version of the popular iOS and Android (and pc, xbox, everything.....) game. This version of PvZ strives to resemble the original game while still having the fun of minecraft! This means that some modifications had to be made. The plugin is simple for both admins and players. It is fully customizable through custom messages and an extensive, but easy-to-use configuration. Perhaps the best part is that Plants vs. Zombies is fun with almost any number of players. If you want the game to start after only 2 players join, you can do that, and if you would like a different plants to zombies ratio, that's also configurable!

How It Works
Players first join a game using the /pvz join command. Different classes of plants or zombies can then be chosen with the /pvz type command. Once a game starts, players will be teleported to a plant spawn or zombie spawn, depending on which one they were selected to be. The plants try their best to survive the attacks of zombies for a configurable amount of time (default is 120 seconds). The zombies must reach the end of each row to win.
Features
- Config allows for all kinds of details to be changed to best fit your server
- Multiple arenas
- Built in selection tool (no need for World Edit)
- Semi-easy arena setup
- Multiworld support
- Different kinds of plants and zombies, each with their own abilities and permissions (so you can add them to a rank on your server)
- Good-looking scoreboard to let you know how much time is left and how many more rows need to be captured
- Zombie slowness
- Optional mob disguises
- Fireworks!
Dependencies
There are no hard dependencies, but if you would like to disguise players as mobs, simply set "use disguise craft" to true in your config.yml and add DisguiseCraft to your plugins folder. http:dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/disguisecraft/
Bugs and Feedback
If you find a bug, please submit a ticket. If you think of something that you would like to see implemented into PvZ, please post a comment. We are planning to add a few more features in the future to make the plugin more fun to play. We will also be releasing a video and two maps to play on fairly soon (one to two weeks). Here are a few of our plans for the future:
- Create a tutorial video as well as a gameplay video
- Upload maps
- Add more plant and zombie types
- Possibly add waves of zombies (with configurable real zombies)
- Possibly add an enderdragon bar or more stats to the scoreboard
- Make some minor adjustments to make the game more fun to play
- Add a command to delete arenas
- Teleport players to a lobby when games end
- Add a command to create a lobby

@Lactem
Well first off u clearly did not see what i wrote im sorry but let me tell you the real issue,its that everytime i type in the command /pvz add farm (Name) but everytime i insert a name it says farm does not exist so,is this a server problem or plugin?
@Mwguy52
First off, you do not need to put "1" in your command because it just adds. Second, I believe you forgot your farm name. Try it like this: /pvz add <farm name>. If this does not fix your problem, just submit a ticket!
@Mwguy52
There is a part in your config that you need to change, should look a little something like this:
map: farm1
Change that to the name of the farm that you specified in /pvz create <name>
why does it keep saying farm does not exist i put pvz add 1 and i tried names aswell how can i fix this?
@catprowler
Version 2.0 just got accepted!
@Lactem
Thank you :D
@catprowler
I already submitted it and it's awaiting approval!
Hi there, by any chance would you know when the next update for 1.7.5 will be out and the fix on the counter? Thank you. :D
@z250967086
I'm actually busy with stuff for a while. Perhaps I could help you in a couple weeks.
@Lactem
What is the PM mean?I am not good at English.I only a grade 7 studentBut I love the computer programming,Such as Java C or python.I don't know that what is the code.It such as if statements and others.I want to learn about this.Can you tell me your email?I will so thank you~
@catprowler
Sorry about the unclear setup. We're getting a setup video soon. PvZ should be compatible with 1.7.5, but if you found a bug, please file a ticket. I'll need some additional information, so could you PM me your Skype? Also, make sure your using the newest version because that contains some bug fixes. People have been downloading the old version when there's a new one available. Thanks
Hi there, just loaded your plugin in. Just wondering if this is compatible with 1.7.5? I am having some serious issues. 1. When you type /pvz leave it only pops up the list of commands and 2. when you join and pick your type the count before the start of the game goes on forever. I reached 132 seconds and had to log off because leave doesn't work. I setup the arena, but was a little unclear as how to mark the rows. I am guessing using the wand and clicking one corner all the way to the end of the other corner on the other side? If you want to test it out please feel free to come on the server. It is mobcraft.hopto.org I also received this error in the console: http://pastebin.com/R4zgt7n2 and for count down error I got this http://pastebin.com/xuMUF2kK I would really like to get this up and going and have a great little arena ready and waiting. Thank you.
@z250967086
Sure. PM me.
@Lactem
Thank~ My share at this “http://www.mcbbs.net/thread-261304-1-1.html”. And my email is “[email protected]” I want to learn some of Java.Can you help me?
@z250967086
Sure, share the plugin all you want! Please note, however, that our tester, sky8the2flies, has recently discovered two bugs that will not be fixed until version 2.0 comes out (sometime this week).
Is nice to learn about this plugin. I want to share this plugin to www.mcbbs.net and this bbs is China minecaft bbs. I want more China poeple know about this plugin. Can I do that? Please don't laugh me English. ^.^
@MGbeenieboy
Coming soon is a setup video, a gameplay video, and version 2.0! Stay tuned!
A short video would be nice
@holtbob
We currently have one map built by Chartx, but we could use another one. If you think that one would work, then please tell me. It has to have rows and endpoints, which is something I haven't seen in other PvZ mini game mods/plugins.
If you need a video now i could make one. I have had my builders making a map (not for this plugin) for PvZ.
