Tower Game
by Redynine
Tower Game turns a whole Minecraft world into a team battlefield, where Defenders hold a Tower Core while Raiders try to destroy it.
What it does
After the datapack loads, a clickable message in chat creates a game Lobby. Players in the Lobby pick teams, adjust the game settings and start a match at once. At the beginning, Defenders receive a Tower Core and have a limited time to choose where it goes. Once it is placed, a preparation phase starts: Defenders build a fortress and strengthen its defenses while Raiders spawn at random spots in the world. Later the playable area begins to shrink, which pushes both teams closer together as the match goes on.
The datapack runs on a server, and the server needs it; players join without installing it. Because the world is randomly generated and the Tower Core can be placed anywhere, no two matches play out the same. The mod works with custom worlds, resource packs and other datapacks, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3. Files target 26.3 as the latest release, and the code is not open source; All rights reserved applies.
Key features
Team tower defense

What the author says
Tower Game is a datapack that completely transforms the way Minecraft is played. It doesn't add new weapons, bosses, or hundreds of new items. Instead, it turns the entire world into a massive battlefield between two teams. Build a fortress, protect your Tower Core, or gather an army and destroy the enemy's base…
