Simple CTF

Simple CTF is a Minecraft Capture the Flag mod with multiple team flags, customizable platform structures, protected bases, configurable slowdown, and live match statistics.

I created this mod so I could play Capture the Flag with my son while keeping the game fair and enjoyable for both of us.

The match can be balanced for players with different skill levels. For example, the stronger or more experienced player can receive a movement slowdown, have more flags to defend, or be required to capture more enemy flags.

This makes it possible for adults, children, beginners, and experienced players to compete together without one side having a major advantage.

Build your own bases, choose how many flags each team has, adjust the slowdown settings, and create a match that fits your players.

Setup

Build the red and green platform structures.
Place red flags on red platforms and green flags on green platforms.
Structures and flags register automatically when flags are placed.
Assign players to teams:

/team join Red PlayerName
/team join Green PlayerName

Optionally configure the dropped-flag return time:

/ctf setreturntime 60

Optionally configure slowdown for the last flags:

/ctf setslowdown red 3 20
/ctf setslowdown green 0 0

This makes the last 3 red flags slow carriers by 20%.

Start the game:

/ctf start

The game announces how many flags each team has.

Useful Commands

/ctf status
/ctf stop
/ctf reset
/ctf return red
/ctf return green
/ctf return all
/ctf help

Teams are created automatically when the mod loads. /ctf setup can also be used to ensure the teams exist.
