Bannerhunt
Bannerhunt is a server-side capture flag minigame in which players hold and defend placed flags to score points until one player reaches 10.
What it does
Players claim flags by placing them, and each placed flag shows a beacon-like beam that marks its location. A player who possesses a flag for five minutes earns one point, so holding flags across the map is the main route to victory. Holding a flag also applies debuffs, which discourages a single player from camping on one.
Bannerhunt runs as a mix between Capture Flag and King of the Hill, and its ties are settled by a separate rule. Because it is free-for-all, it suits ongoing servers and new servers that want a recurring event. Rules and settings can be changed, and commands handle disposal of flags. The mod is server-side, so the server runs it and players join without installing anything.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt under the MIT License, with one 1.0 file for 1.20.1. It is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. A data pack build is also available for servers that prefer that format.
Key features
Capture flag gameplay
Players place flags to claim areas, and a flag destroyed in battle is replaced by a new one that spawns elsewhere.
Point scoring
Holding a flag for five minutes awards one point, and the first player to reach 10 points wins the round.
Holding debuffs
A player carrying a flag receives debuffs, which limits how long any one player can keep control of the map.
Adjustable rules
Rules and settings can be changed on the server, and commands handle the disposal of flags.
