ChatGames

A Minecraft plugin that adds interactive chat-based minigames to engage your server's players with trivia, math challenges, word scrambles, and reaction games.

Why use ChatGames?

  • Instant, lightweight chat minigames that keep your chat active.
  • Multi-platform: same core works across Spigot, Paper, Folia, and Sponge via a platform abstraction layer.
  • Fully configurable games, schedules, messages and reward commands.
  • Small, well-documented, and easy to extend.

Features

  • Multiple Game Types:

    • Trivia - Answer trivia questions correctly
    • Math - Solve math problems
    • Unscramble - Unscramble words
    • Multiple Choice - Pick the correct answer from several options
    • Reaction - Respond quickly
  • Automatic Game Scheduling - Games start automatically at configurable intervals

  • Customizable Rewards - Configure commands to run when players win (economy rewards, items, etc.)

Quick Install

  1. Drop the plugin .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
  2. Start the server once to generate default configurations.
  3. Edit config.yml, en-us.yml, and the individual game files.
