Battle Royale
by hampfh
Battle Royale lets a server host Survival Games style matches in a single world, with players spread across the map and pushed together by a shrinking border.
What it does
A match is set up by a datapack placed unzipped inside the world's datapacks folder. Its init function, sg:triggers/init, prepares the game area, and the in-game options let a server owner adjust the settings. Each session is meant to run for 30 minutes or more, depending on those settings.
The mod works with World Battle Royale, Vanilla compatible, Lobby, Custom Rules, Shrinking Border and Fresh Maps. Because the pack can regenerate the map and move the entire playing area, several rounds can take place in one world, each on fresh terrain. Each new arena reduces repetition between rounds.
Battle Royale needs no client mod, so players join a server running it without installing anything. The server must run the mod, and the data is released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Automatic player spreading
Players are scattered across the map at the start of a match and then pushed closer together as the game goes on.
Shrinking world border
The border contracts during a match, which keeps the remaining players within a shrinking play area.
Repeatable sessions
Matches can be run again in the same world, and map re-generation moves the playing area so the terrain changes.
Coordinate toggle
Player coordinates can be shown or hidden, one of the simple in-game options for customizing a match.
