Force Mob Battle
The Force Mob Battle is a team-based Minecraft challenge inspired by the Force Mob Battle by German streamer and YouTuber BastiGHG. This plugin is available in English and German, but the mob names are displayed in the selected language.
Compete against other teams and kill as many different mobs as possible before the timer runs out. Every team gets its own target mob, a shared backpack, and a number of Jokers to skip certain mobs.
How to play
At the start of a battle, each team receives a target mob. Your goal is to kill that mob as quickly as possible.
Once a team completes its current target, a new mob is assigned automatically.
The team with the most killed mobs 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.
- 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 mobs are revealed one by one in a dedicated results interface.
End Reveal
After the timer expires, the battle enters the results phase.
The completed mob are presented one at a time. Each mob shows its collection time and mobs 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

This allows you to adapt the challenge to different server setups and group sizes.
