MazePvP

MazePvP

Tired of fighting other players on a dull, easy-to-navigate terrain? With this plugin, you can fight in a maze which is constantly changing shape while you're not looking! Even the players can reshape the maze with the right items. Beware of the mobs that appear and be on a lookout for treasure chests.
The source of this plugin is available in the jar files and also on github.

Features

• Ability to create multiple mazes of any size
• Indestructible bosses that can teleport and kill players instantly (by default)
• Projectile items such as eggs, snowballs and ender pearls behave differently inside mazes
• Mobs and chests randomly appear

Chasms

Holes can appear in the floor either naturally or because of players. They are filled with spikes, and anyone who falls into them instantly dies, so be sure not to fall! These can actually be jumped over if the timing and angle is exactly right.

Items

When a player enters a maze, he will get some items to use. When exiting the maze, the inventory gets cleared, so don't go near the exit if you are still planning to fight inside. You can find more items inside treasure chests, and you can store them in ender chests so that you don't lose them after dying. Some items behave differently inside mazes.

Eggs

Eggs can be used to break the walls and floor. However, they do not break the "pillars" that are marked as mossy stone bricks. The floor will smoke for a few seconds before disappearing, so use that time to find safe footing!

Snowballs

You can use snowballs to restore parts of the floor or walls. Just throw them at a pillar or in a chasm.

Ender pearls

Instead of teleporting to where the pearl landed, you will teleport to a random location inside the maze, and you won't suffer any damage. These can really come in handy if you're falling into a chasm or facing a lot of enemies!

Bosses

Bosses are zombies with black clothes and a wither skeleton mask. By default, one will appear in every maze. He can teleport to any location, so you never know when you'll encounter him! If he falls into a chasm, he will teleport away before hitting the bottom. His HP and strength can be customized in the config file. By default, he cannot be killed and he can kill players with one hit.

How to use/install, quick setup

To install the plugin, just drop the jar in your plugins folder.
Here's a quick example setup:

• Create a two-floored, 4x4 maze named "myMaze" where you are standing by using the command /mpcreate myMaze 4 2 2
• If you'd like your players to enter the maze using join signs instead of the entrances, put three signs next to each other somewhere, look at the first one and type /mpjoinsign myMaze
• Change the minimum amount of players by typing /mpsetplayernum myMaze 1 5
  This will allow at most 5 players to join, and 1 player is enough to start the fight.
• If you want players to be transported to a waiting area while they are waiting for other players, build your waiting room and inside it, type /mpsetwp myMaze
  
• Put up a sign somewhere in the waiting area, then look at it and type /mpleavesign myMaze
  This will create a sign that allows players to leave the waiting area if they get bored.
  

Now you're set! To test your maze, click on the join sign to get transported inside it. If you die 3 times or disconnect, you will return back to the join sign with your previous items.
You should only set the minimum players to 1 if you're testing the maze. When it's ready for other players to use, set it to a higher number.
Check the commands section below for details about the commands. You can also change the text of the signs and much more by editing the config.yml. Check the configuration section to see how.

Commands

These commands can be used to manage the mazes:

• /mpremoveitem [mazename] <property> [itemID] [amount], the property being something like startitems
  In this case, the item with the specified id and amount gets removed from the property. If itemID and amount is omitted, the item in the player's hand is used.
• /mpremoveitem [mazename] <property>, the property being something like boss.drops.item2
  In this case, the item specified by property is removed.

Permissions

mazepvp: Gives access to all commands in MazePvP. By default, this is given to all ops.

Configuration

This plugin has a config.yml file, in which various settings can be changed. Each maze also has its own config file in the Minecraft world folder with the name <mazename>.yml. When a new maze is created, it gets the configuration values from the main config.yml file.
Some settings can be changed individually for each maze by editing their config file or with the /mpset command. These settings will be marked in italics.

• <player>: The name of the player who triggered the event
• <allPlayers>: If this is in the text, the command will execute for every player and their names will be substituted where this is found
• <otherPlayers>: Same as <allPlayers>, except that it doesn't contain the player who triggers the event.

For example, if you want to teleport all players to the respawning player, you should put the following into commands.fightRespawn:
tp <otherPlayers> <player>

• <name>: The name of the maze the text is referring to
• <currentP>: The current number of players that joined the maze
• <minP>: The minimum number of players needed to start the fight
• <maxP>: The maximum number of players allowed in the maze
• <remainingP>: The number of players that have to join before the fight can start. This is basically minP − currentP
• <state>: The state of the maze: This shows whether the fight has started or not
• <timeLeft>: The amount of seconds left until the fight starts. This should only appear in the countdown message
• <livesLeft>: The amount of lives the player has left. This should only appear in the respawn message
  If you're not sure how to use these, check the default configuration file to see how they are used.

98:1 98 98 98:1
98 41 41 98
98 41 41 98
98:1 98 98 98:1
That means that the floor has gold blocks in the middle, stone bricks on the sides, and mossy stone bricks at the four edges.
If these values are set using /mpset, then for the value you have to write all the blocks in each row as one line, with the values separated by some character that's not ":" (because that's used to specify the data value for a block). For example, you can change the floor to the above pattern with the following:
/mpset blocks.floor 98:1_98_98_98:1_98_41_41_98_98_41_41_98_98:1_98_98_98:1
