Set up a mini-game

Note: You must first have created an arena before configuring any ~~mini-game.~~minigame. See how to create an arena.

GlobalAdding a Minigame to Your Arena

Before configuring a minigame, you need to add it to your arena:

/baa game [arena_id] add [minigame]

Example:

/baa game 1 add spleef

Available minigames:

race

spleef

snow_ball_fight

all_against_all

one_in_the_chamber

traffic_light

mine_field

exploding_sheep

tnt_tag

red_alert

knock_back

fast_zone

run_from_the_beast

block_party

After adding, the minigame will be registered but DISABLED until you complete its configuration.

Common Setup Steps (All Mini-games)Minigames)

# Add pattern 2
(Build different pattern on floor)
/baa game 1 block_party pattern add

# Continue until you have at least 5 patterns

Troubleshooting

"Cannot enable game. Complete its configuration first"

Check the configuration checklist for your specific minigame above

Ensure all required steps are completed

Use /baa game [id] list to see the minigame status

"Add at least X spawns"

You need spawns equal to your arena's max players

Use /baa game [id] [minigame] spawn add more times

"Set the bounds before adding spawns"

Configure boundaries first using the Magic Stick

Then add spawn points

"Pattern does not exist"

Block Party requires at least 5 patterns

Use /baa game [id] block_party pattern list to check

"Both positions must be in the same world"

Your Magic Stick selections are in different worlds

Use /baa clearselection and try again in the same world

"Floor must be made of snow blocks" (Spleef)

Replace your floor with snow blocks
Use ~~slot~~/fill 1command or WorldEdit for large areas

"Floor must be made of white wool" (~~stick):~~Red Alert)

~~Left-click:~~Replace ~~One~~your ~~corner~~floor with white wool blocks
~~Right-click:~~The ~~Opposite~~plugin ~~corner~~will change the colors during gameplay
