Force Item Battle
The Force Item Battle is a team-based Minecraft challenge inspired by the Force Item Battle by German streamer and YouTuber BastiGHG. This plugin is available in English and German, but the item names are displayed in the selected language.
Compete against other teams and collect as many different items as possible before the timer runs out. Every team gets its own item targets, a shared backpack, and a number of Jokers to skip certain items.
How to play
At the start of a battle, each team receives a target item. Your goal is to obtain that item as quickly as possible.
Once a team completes its current target, a new item is assigned automatically.
The team with the most completed items at the end wins.
Features
- Team-based gameplay — Configure multiple teams and let players compete against each other.
- Shared Team Backpack — Every team has a shared backpack that all team members can access.
- Jokers — Each team receives a configurable number of Jokers. A Joker skips the current target and the item is given to the player who used it.
- Configurable battle duration — The length of the battle can be set directly in the configuration.
- Configurable starter items — Startertools can be given at the beginning of the match.
- Timer — A live countdown shows the remaining time throughout the battle.
- Pause and resume — Pause the battle and continue it later without losing the remaining time.
- End Reveal — After the battle, completed items are revealed one by one in a dedicated results interface.
End Reveal
After the timer expires, the battle enters the results phase.
The completed items are presented one at a time. Each item shows its collection time and items completed using a Joker are marked accordingly.
Configuration
The plugin is designed to keep the important gameplay settings configurable.
You can configure things such as:
- Battle duration
- Teams
- Team members
- Number of Jokers
- Item-Pool
- Backpack size
This allows you to adapt the challenge to different server setups and group sizes.
