Ranked Minigames
by Climbby
Ranked Minigames is a Forge client mod for 1.8.9 that tracks an Elo score for each player as they win and lose minigame matches.
What it does
Players gain Elo when they win a game and lose Elo when they lose one, so a score replaces a simple tally of wins and losses. The mod is aimed at players who want competitive play on their favourite minigames, with a figure that updates as results come in. Its author notes that win streaks are not tracked, since the Elo figure is meant to show skill across matches.
The system lets players measure their position on a competitive ladder, and the author presents it as a way to quantify skill against other players. Minigame support is limited for now, and the author plans to add more minigames to servers in later updates. Because the build is an early alpha, bugs are expected, and the author asks for issue reports and feedback to guide development.
The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need it to host ranked games. Files exist for Forge 1.8.9 only, and the license is the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Elo score per player
Each player has an Elo value that rises after a win and falls after a loss, updated in real time.
Win and loss tracking
Every finished match adjusts the Elo value, so results are recorded on the ladder rather than as a streak.
Competitive ladder
The ranking lets players compare their standing against others who play the same minigames.
Early alpha build
The 1.0 alpha has limited minigame support, and more titles are planned for later updates.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
