DeathSwapPlus

Implementation of SethBling's DeathSwap game as a Bukkit plugin.

Background

DeathSwap is a game, created by SethBling, in which you and an opponent play standard survival Minecraft in a randomly generated world. At random intervals, you and your opponent switch locations without warning. The aim of the game is to kill your opponent by setting up traps for them.

This implementation allows you to play against multiple opponents (players will cycle through each others locations).

Installation

Download the plugin jar file and install it in your server's /plugins folder.

Features

Faithfully replicates the gameplay of the vanilla DeathSwap game by SethBling
No requirement to have a spectator
Any players not participating will be invisible to players.
Matches can be of abitrary size (not limited to two players). If there are more than two players, they will cycle.

Usage

A list of commands is available by typing /help deathswap.

All players who want to take part in the game should enter /join to join the match. If they decide to leave, they can type /leave.
When players are ready to begin, they type /ready.
As soon as all joined players have marked themselves as ready, the match countdown will begin. There may be a brief period of lag at this point as the server pre-generates the chunks where players will teleport to.
At the end of the countdown, players will be healed and fed and teleported to their start locations. The world time is set to dawn.
The match continues exactly as it does in SethBling's vanilla game.

/leave - leave the match
