Features

SkyGiants1058 is a feature-rich minigame plugin designed for high performance and ease of use. Below is a detailed overview of its key features.

Server Modes​

SkyGiants1058 can be configured to run in different modes to suit your network's needs:

  • MULTIARENA: Run multiple arenas on a single server instance. Players can join via signs or a GUI.
  • NETWORK (Bungee/Velocity): Dedicated arena servers that automatically handle player connection and server rotation.
  • SMP: Integrates into a survival world where players can start matches in designated areas.

Advanced In-game Setup​

Setting up arenas is intuitive and requires no manual configuration file editing:

  • Context-Aware Tools: Hotbar items automatically change based on your location (e.g., Team base tools appear when you enter a team's territory).
  • Region Visualization: Uses particle effects to show arena boundaries, team regions, and Beast spawn areas in real-time.
  • Integrity Validation: The /sga validate command checks for missing spawns, Giants, or settings before you save.

Gameplay Mechanics​

  • The Giants: Each team must protect their Giant. As the Giant's health decreases, the team becomes more vulnerable.
  • The Beast: A powerful boss that spawns in the center of the map. Defeating it grants significant rewards and buffs to the team.
  • Team Stores: In-game NPCs where players can spend gold earned from kills and objectives to upgrade gear and abilities.
  • Dynamic Phase System: Matches progress through Lobby, Warmup, Play, and Sudden Death phases, each with unique behaviors.

Lobby Join Signs​

Players can join arenas directly from your lobby using signs.

Setup:

  1. Place a sign in the lobby world.
  2. Write [SkyGiants] on the first line.
  3. Write the <arena-id> on the second line.
  4. Leave other lines empty.

The plugin will auto-update the sign with the arena status and player count every 5 seconds.

Permissions:

  • skygiants.admin to register/place a sign.
  • Only admins can place/break signs in the lobby world.

Scoreboard & TabList​

SkyGiants1058 features dynamic sidebars that change based on the game phase (Lobby, Warmup, Play, End).

Placeholders:

  • {money}: Current gold.
  • {on}/{total}/{max}: Player counts.
  • {phase}: Current game phase.
  • {time}: Remaining time.
  • {beastTime}: Time until Beast spawns.

The TabList is also customized with team prefixes and spectator hiding. It also integrates with PlaceholderAPI.

Achievements & Stats​

Track player progress with a comprehensive stats system and reward achievements.

Stats tracked:

  • Kills/Deaths/Assists
  • Wins
  • Beast Kills
  • Giant Damage
  • Gold Earned

Achievements:

  • Daily, Weekly, and Monthly tiers.
  • Rewards include gold (Vault), commands, or custom messages.

Dynamic Localization​

The plugin automatically adapts to the player's language.

  • Automatic Detection: Detects the player's client language and switches automatically.
  • Refresh System: When a player changes their language, the Sidebar, GUIs, and lobby items are automatically refreshed.
  • Customizable: Messages are stored in src/main/resources/languages/ and can be easily edited.

Web Events & External Integration​

For advanced networks, SkyGiants1058 can stream live game events to external services:

  • Redis & RabbitMQ: Stream kills, wins, and game status changes to external dashboards or Discord bots.
