TotalWar
by Darkness404
TotalWar, a Forge minigame mod for 1.20.1, gives server owners a session-based system for large-scale PvP battles with teams, rounds and scoring.
What it does
The mod lets players take part in large battles that use weapons, military equipment and large maps. Matches are organized as sessions, and the server controls their flow from start to finish through a match system with teams, rounds and scoring. Match logic runs on the server rather than through commands or plugins, so the gameplay flow stays consistent across large battles.
Most interactions take place in custom in-game GUI screens, where match control and player interaction are handled and server-triggered events are shown to players. The mod is intended mainly for server environments that host organized PvP events and mini-games. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Optional integrations with other installed mods are supported, but none are required.
Forge 47.4.10 or newer is needed to run the mod. The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Team-based matches

Match control screens
Screens inside the game let server staff manage a running match and let players interact with its state.
Server-side match logic
Match state is kept and synchronized on the server, so clients see the same session progression.
