NOTICE

This plugin is a work in progress! In the admin GUI compass, click the top-middle icon to switch the gamemode. For skybattle and parkour race, simply press "Start" in the menu (emerald at the bottom-middle). For other modes, you want to click "Teleport players" (bottom) to teleport players to the overworld before starting, and then once everyone is ready click the "Start" emerald. Use /gui at any point to open this menu again.

This will be made more intuitive in future updates.

ZappierGames

ZappierGames is a Minecraft server plugin (likely for Paper/Spigot or similar) that brings a collection of exciting multiplayer minigames to your server, all managed through an intuitive graphical interface. (Access via /gui) Currently in alpha development, this plugin includes popular game modes such as:

Sky Battle - A fast-paced, team-based PvP battle inspired by Minecraft Championship (MCC) and Skywars-style games. Teams start on separate floating islands with resources and infinite blocks for bridging/building. Players fight to be the last team standing as a closing border forces movement toward the center, rewarding spacial awareness, quick bridging, and pvp skills. Includes custom items as well.

Manhunt - One or more speedrunners attempt to defeat the Ender Dragon (or achieve other objectives) while hunter(s) track them down using tools like compasses, trying to eliminate the runners before they can win. Includes standard manhunt, infection (so extra runners aren't sitting their bored), and protect the president. Manhunt twists are a work in progress.

Loothunt - A treasure-hunting style minigame, and arguably the crown jewel of this plugin due to how addicted my friends are to it. Items are worth points, with increased points for collections like acquiring all the different door types or villager workstations. Features the one and only Infinibundle™ to solve your inventory woes. (It's a teamchest. Also does not work properly in creative mode, and never will. Meant to be used in survival mode only)

Parkour Race - A pseudo-randomly generated parkour race featuring various jumps, featuring disappearing platforms, slime jumps, and all sorts of other cool and weird jumps that my friends and I have created!

And more modes planned or in early stages! Key Features

Easy management with /gui - opens a user-friendly menu for starting games, configuring settings, joining teams, and more - no complex commands needed for most actions. (/loothunt endscore at the end of games or /loothunt getscore to get the value of a held item are commands that need to be known, as well as /gc to get a compass for manhunts)

Designed for fun on multiplayer servers, perfect for friends looking for a cool minigame to play.

Important Notes (BETA Status)

This plugin is in active BETA stage, so expect bugs, incomplete features, and potential instability. Also don't slap it on an SMP server as this isn't meant to run alongside a survival world, you'll lose your world.

Game state persistence exists (timers, twists, Infinibundle storage, etc.) with automatic saves on stop/pause and manual /loadstate reload. If your server restarts during a loothunt or a manhunt, use this command.
