Capture of zones
by Vinlanx
Capture of zones adds a team-based point-capturing mechanic to a Forge world, where blue and red teams fight over zones.
What it does
Admins create rectangular capture zones and set their size, height and capture time. Players on the blue and red teams contest a zone, and progress changes while they stand inside it. A zone left empty returns to a neutral state, and once one team has captured it, the zone switches ownership. Players on scoreboard teams whose names do not contain blue or red are treated as neutral and shown in grey.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Before the mod can assign zones, an admin has to register the teams with the vanilla team add command, and each team name needs to contain either Blue or Red. Installing Lightman's Currency is optional, and version 2.2.6.4 is the one to use with it. The mod requires Cloth Config API, which provides the config screen where the toggles live. Files target 1.20.1 only, with 0.1.8-a as the latest Forge build, released under a custom license that is not open source.
