A collection of data packs to add a custom battle royale game mode to any Minecraft world!

To install MCBR to any of your Minecraft worlds, you must first get the desired datapack(s). Either click the green "Clone or download" button on GitHub, or clone this repository using

git clone https://github.com/Zakru/MinecraftBattleRoyale.git

Now that you have acquired the datapack files, copy the desired datapack(s) from the repository root folder into the datapacks folder of your world. The installation is completed by starting the server, entering the world or using the /reload command in-game.

First, find a location that has a good area for the gameplay around it (a 511x511 block square). Once you found the desired location, make sure all players are alive in adventure mode, and then run /function battleroyale:start (requires operator privileges). The game will automatically start once all plugins installed have completed their preparation.

At first, the game starts with a 511x511 square-shaped area around the point at which battleroyale:start was called. After a specific time interval (default time to first shrink is 10 minutes) the play area goes to 1023x1023, centers at a random point and starts shrinking back to 511x511, possibly forcing some players to move towards the new center.

After the play area has shrunk, there is another interval after which the area shrinks to half its dimensions. This repeats with shortening intervals until the play area is 7x7.

When the play area's dimensions are 7x7, it will slowly shrink to 1x1, making other players' locations ultimately obvious. After a minute, if the players have managed to avoid each other, the play area is removed entirely and "sudden death" begins, slowly killing the last survivors.
