Highly configurable modes and lightweight performance make it perfect for small and medium servers.

Item-Only	10s	10m	Circular	Only items (no blocks): long & tough.

Player-Shuffle	10s	5m	Circular	All players randomly swapped every 10s.

Inspiration

This plugin is inspired by pillar-style minigames featured by creators like CheapPickle and large servers such as CubeCraft. This plugin is independent, open-source, and not affiliated with those projects.

Configuration

The configuration is designed to be simple and ships with comments, which explain themselves.

By default, the queue is disabled, so it needs to manually be enabled.
There are two queue modes: command (players use /queue) and auto (players are automatically queued).

Translations

Translations are auto-downloaded from our translation server; if the server is not reachable, the plugin falls back to English. (No sensitive data is sent.)

Info about Metrics collected

PillarPeril by default collects some data about how people use the plugin, so game modes can better be adjusted and the game can further be balanced.

This is a complete list of all data collected, besides FastStats defaults:

Amount of games running/started
Game modifiers most frequently used
Average amount of players per game

If you do not want to send any of these metrics, you can set disable-faststats in the configuration to true, or follow the instructions given on first startup with FastStats.
