Build multiplayer minigames out of blocks, not command blocks. Minigames Rewired hands map makers a full redstone-style toolkit for running team games in ordinary survival worlds: signal wire that carries who and which team, blocks that time rounds and pick winners, mob control with visible regions, weighted prize payouts, and player save-and-restore — all placeable, all configured in the world.
If you have ever built a minigame from a wall of command blocks and a spreadsheet of scoreboard objectives, this is the mod that replaces most of it.
The core idea: redstone that carries identity
Vanilla redstone moves one thing — a power level. Minigames Rewired adds two new kinds of dust that behave exactly like redstone wire, repeaters and comparators, but carry a payload along the signal:
- Playerstone carries a set of players.
- Teamstone carries a set of teams, each identified by a hex color.
A Player Button emits a pulse naming whoever pressed it. A comparator filters that signal against a player list. Converter blocks turn a player signal into their teams and back again. Everything downstream — spawners, teleporters, prize dispensers — reads the payload off the wire, so one circuit can route a specific player to a specific arena without a single command.
Teams
A server-wide team registry keyed by color, mirrored onto the vanilla scoreboard so every tool you already use keeps working. Drop a Team Manager to join and leave, a Team Assigner or Team Randomizer to sort a lobby, a Team Counter that outputs a comparator signal, and Team Spawn and Teleporter blocks that move players by team. Membership is the payload teamstone carries, so team logic and signal logic are the same wires.
Rounds and display
The Game Manager runs a round through an ordered phase timeline, decides a winner from configurable win conditions, and drives six output faces — round start, phase boundaries, round end, a whole-round "live" signal, and the winning or losing teams on teamstone. The Scoreboard block builds a vanilla sidebar from a title-and-lines config — team counts, live clocks, kill and death leaderboards, raw objectives, rich-text labels — so you never type /scoreboard again. A Digital Clock counts a round down on its face and on a comparator.
Mobs and regions
The Mob Spawner takes spawn eggs on its face, shows them as an editable grid, and can override each spawn's AI (hostile, neutral, friendly, or none), scale its health, and scatter mobs across a color's region. The Mob Killer sweeps a region clean. A matched pair of Mob Markers defines each region, and a color can hold as many regions as you place pairs. An Anchor keeps its own corner of the world loaded and ticking with no player nearby, so a far-off arena keeps running between rounds.
Rewards and persistence
The Prize Dispenser is a 27-slot container with a weight on every slot: a weighted random draw, an even split, or the same reward for everyone. The NBT Saver and NBT Loader snapshot a player's inventory, effects and stats into a server-wide vault and restore them later — hand players a loadout for a round, give their real inventory back afterward.
Selectors and commands
Two custom command selectors, @u and @t, resolve to the players and teams on the dust signal reaching a command block, so a command block wired into your circuit acts on exactly the players the signal is carrying. A small set of admin commands covers re-indexing, team edits and the snapshot vault.
A guidebook that writes itself
Every block and item documents itself. Craft the Minigames Rewired Handbook, or hold G over any of the mod's items, to open an in-game guide with a page per block: what it does, the signals it reads and emits, its config fields, and a rotating 3D wiring scene for the ones that need one.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.243 or newer
- GuideME 21.1.17 — required; it powers the in-game handbook
