Destroy the Core III

—— A Minecraft mini-game without a single command!

Introduction

The DTC I & II, created by Hageeshow (Hageeshow), were once hugely popular.

However, using data packs has various drawbacks. After all, they are officially designed by Mojang for players, which means many things require going around in circles, or are simply impossible. The most significant problem is that its API is revised every time Minecraft updates, causing the created data packs to become obsolete.

晴 (_hueeey_) played the modified version of DTC II by just_like_bear and ItzYoyo, among others. Decided to remake the game as a plugin, and thus DTC III was born.

A brief introduction to the differences between DTC III and DTC II:

• Fast computation

Paper + plugin may be more than 10 times faster than Vanilla + data pack

• Profession titles

Such as [Guardian] Hi_Chocolate

• Information sidebar

Includes profession, stage, faction health, etc.

• Statistics

Displays wins, kills, attacks, and mining counts

• Translation system

Currently supports English and Traditional Chinese

• Map system

Supports dynamic map loading and automatically resets after each game

• More details and various particle effects

Mineral cooldowns have block breaking animations Many items have a magical aura-like glow effect

• Team-shared Ender Chest

For Players

Here, I directly copy the introduction of DTC II

• Map Name: DTC III
• Number of Players: Recommended at least 4v4, at most... I don't know XD (But of course, you can also do 1v1...)
• Game Time: Ends within 1 hour, may be faster depending on the intensity of player attacks
• Version Recommendation: 1.21.4+

How to Win

DTC III is divided into two factions: Red Team and Green Team The player's mission is to protect their own faction's core and destroy the enemy faction's core Victory is achieved when the enemy faction's health reaches zero

Map Introduction

(To be added later)

Faction Core

The core is that Ender Stone, containing powerful energy, and nearby enemy faction members will receive mining fatigue As long as the Ender Stone is mined, the faction's health will be directly reduced At the same time, the miner will gain 30 seconds of glowing due to the core's energy leaking onto them, and increase their sin value by 3 points Water, lava, and obsidian near the core will be directly absorbed by the core

Mineral System

The mineral system is different from DTC II. Iron and gold are not automatically smelted (but the speed of the furnace is 10× that of vanilla Minecraft) After a mineral is mined, it will turn into bedrock for cooling, and the mineral will regenerate after the time is up

Resource	Use
Iron Ingot	Crafting equipment and tools / Buying potions
Gold Ingot	Buying food / Exchanging for other minerals
Redstone	Buying bows and arrows
Lapis Lazuli	Enchanting
Emerald	Buying special items and tokens
Diamond	Crafting equipment and tools
Coal	Gaining experience points

In the default map, iron is in the left mine, diamonds are under the central river, and others are in the right mine

Game Stages

Each stage is 10 minutes:

• Stage 1: Core Invincible

The core cannot be attacked in this stage, so collect as many resources as possible to prepare for battle

• Stage 2: Exchange Opens

In this stage, you can start destroying the core Villagers are also open for trading

• Stage 3: Random Mission

At this time, a random mission will appear every 2 minutes. Completing the mission can earn rewards or give penalties to the enemy At the same time, the diamond mine in the center of the map is open for mining

• Stage 4: Death Penalty

The cooldown time of minerals will be halved Dying will deduct 1 point from the faction's health

• Stage 5: Core Double Damage

Originally, destroying the core only dealt 1 point of damage, but in this stage, it will deduct 2 points

• Final Stage: Core Wither

This is the final stage. To speed up the game, both sides' cores will lose health every 15 seconds

Sin Value

Sin value is a new system added in DTC II, which is simply the respawn cooldown time The initial sin value for each stage is different, namely 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 Killing a player will gain 2 sin points, and destroying the core will gain 3 sin points The minimum will not be lower than 5 points, and the maximum will not exceed 180 points

In order to prevent the defenders from killing people all the time, resulting in too high a sin value, here is a method to reduce the sin value As long as you crouch near the core and feel the core energy, your sin value will slowly recover after a certain period of time, and it will also give you a little experience

Item Drop System

After all, this is a battle game, and players will inevitably die in the game, so it is designed so that things will not all drop out after death But there is a 10% chance that equipment or items on the body will disappear There are a total of 36 slots on the player's body, plus 4 equipment slots, for a total of 40 slots of items. On average, 4 slots of items will disappear each time you die and be replaced with Chaos Matter

Enchanting tables and Ender Chests will definitely drop, while shields and skill books will not

Other Settings

Killing

Killing a player will increase the sin value by 2 points, and gain five seconds of Weakness II, Glowing, Blindness, and Slowness Killing 10 people in a row will become the Killing Leader, and killing them will reward 10 emeralds

Invisibility

Invisibility will be canceled when taking more than 1 heart of damage

Miscellaneous

• Luck effect will double the chance of mineral drops
• Opening the Ender Chest will be a large team-shared chest
• Blocks cannot be placed near the respawn waiting area and respawn point
• Players above the height of the respawn waiting area will get altitude sickness, triggering freezing and nausea effects
• Pistons cannot push minerals, wood, or the core
• Netherite blocks cannot be destroyed

Lottery

The lottery is 15% grand prize, 35% normal, 50% trash Each time you win a grand prize, the grand prize probability will decrease by 2% (the probability of trash will increase)

For Server Owners

DTC III provides dynamic maps and editing toolsets

Server Setup

I haven't tested it on Bukkit or Spigot, so you better use Paper or above server core

First, your server must have a world called lobby as the lobby

# server.properties
level-name=lobby

Each map exists in template-[name], and the map named castle will be loaded by default

Install ProtocolLib and this plugin, then just run your server

Commands

Format	Introduction	Remarks
/shout	Shout, so the enemy can see your message
/rejoin	If you disconnect, type this to re-enter the game
/night-vision	Turn on / off night vision effect
/shuffle-team	Random team assignment	Admin only
/revive [player]	Instantly revive someone	Admin only
/language <locale>	Set language	Admin only
/edit <lobby|game>	Enter edit mode	Admin only
/reset	End the game and reset the map	Admin only

/dtc world <name>	Let you travel in different worlds	Admin only
/dtc map <name>	Set map	Admin only
/dtc help	I didn't even make this command, using it will only give you a :3

Commands without /dtc can also be added with /dtc at the beginning For example, /rejoin and /dtc rejoin have the same effect

Editor

Editor Type	How to Use
Block	Right-click to set. If pointing at a block, it will be set to that block, otherwise it will become the player's current position The direction will be the same as the direction the player is facing Left-click to remove this position
Region	Need to set two corners, left-click will remove the entire region
Block List	Same operation as block, but there are many

Particle effects will be displayed when the editor is held in hand

Lobby

Use /edit lobby, you will get 5 tools:

Tool	Type	Introduction
Lobby Respawn Point	Block	Players will spawn here when entering the server
Start Button	Block	It doesn't have to be a button, right-clicking it will count down 5 seconds to start the game (press again to cancel)
Join Red Team	Region	Players who enter this area will join the Red Team
Join Green Team	Region	Players who enter this area will join the Green Team
Join Spectator	Region	Players who enter this area will join the Spectator

If your players are hyperactive, they may accidentally change teams It is recommended to put the team joining area in a more remote corner, or simply not place it and use commands to assign teams

Map

Set the Red Team's location, and the Green Team's location will be mirrored to (0, 0) (x, z will be the reverse of the Red Team) If the center position of the map you are currently building is incorrect, you can use WorldEdit to move the map

First use /dtc world template-[name] to enter the template world Use /edit game, you will get 7 tools:

Tool	Type	Introduction
Respawn Waiting Area	Block	The area where you wait when you die, blocks cannot be placed, destroyed, or used within 6 blocks
Respawn Point	Block	The player's respawn point, blocks cannot be placed above 3×3×3
Core	Block	Core
Mineral	Block List	The blocks that will turn into bedrock if the faction is blocked by minerals
Diamond	Block List	Diamond mine, will not be mirrored
Mission Point	Block	Central mission point, will not be mirrored
