PointControl

by MrBedrockpy

PointControl lets a server place capture points that teams fight over, with dominance gained by holding them on Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.

What it does

Capture points can be created at the player's position, and each one covers a set zone of the world. Players standing within that zone add to their team's standing, and when one team has more members in it than the others, it gains control. If another team enters, the contest continues. Points are tracked automatically from nearby players, so no manual scoring is needed. Teams come from Minecraft scoreboard teams, and players must belong to a team for the capture logic to work.

The mod suits PvP servers, faction battles, territory control systems and adventure maps. Its commands require operator rights. Capture duration is configurable, and higher values make capturing slower. Progress can decay slowly while no one is present, at a rate that is also set in the config. The capture HUD animation is selectable, and points are visible to players on the capture HUD screen. PointControl provides simple events for integration with other mods.

Only the client needs nothing extra, and the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. It is released under the MIT License, and it is open source. Files are published for Forge only, across six game versions, with 1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Capture points anywhere

    Operators place a new capture point at their own position, and the point covers a set zone of the world.

  2. Team dominance

    Players inside a zone add to their team's dominance, and the team with the most players inside takes control.

  3. Configurable capture speed

    The time needed to capture a point and the rate at which progress decays can each be set in the config.

  4. Capture HUD

    Players see the points and their capture progress on a HUD screen, with a selectable animation style.

What the author says

A lightweight Forge mod that adds capture points to Minecraft. Players can fight for control of areas, and teams can capture and hold points to gain dominance. Points can be created anywhere and will automatically track nearby players and determine which team controls the area.
