Introduction

RedGames is a feature-rich Minecraft minigame plugin featuring 15 chat-based games, 8 solo arcade games, and 5 multiplayer GUI games. Players compete to type fastest, solve puzzles, answer trivia, play arcade games, and complete challenges to earn points, tokens, boosters, cosmetics, and leaderboard progress.

Installation

1. Place RedGames-*.jar in your server's plugins/ folder
2. Restart the server
3. Config files generate in plugins/RedGames/

Migrating from SimonSays

RedGames automatically migrates your player data from SimonSays on first launch.

1. Remove the old SimonSays jar from /plugins
2. Place the new RedGames jar in /plugins
3. Restart your server
4. Player data (stats, tokens, ranks) migrates automatically

First Steps

After installation, here's how to get started:

Start Your First Game

/rg start reaction easy

This starts a Reaction game on easy difficulty. Players type the displayed word to win.

Open the Games Hub

/rg hub

Opens a GUI where players can browse and join available games.

View the Leaderboard

/rg leaderboard gui

Opens the leaderboard GUI showing top players.

Check Your Stats

/rg stats

View your wins, points, and streak information.

Games Hub

The Games Hub is a unified interface for browsing and starting all game types.

Opening the Hub

/rg hub

Or use the alias: /rg arcade

Features

• Solo Arcade Games - Browse and start single-player puzzle games
• Multiplayer Games - View and join multiplayer lobbies
• Player Stats - See your tokens, points, and rank at a glance
• Difficulty Selection - Choose Easy, Normal, or Hard before starting

How It Works

1. Open the hub with /rg hub
2. Click on a game to start
3. Select your difficulty (Easy, Normal, or Hard)
4. Game begins immediately (solo) or lobby opens (multiplayer)

Configuration

Customize the hub layout and appearance in games-hub.yml.

Difficulty System

All arcade and multiplayer games support three difficulty levels with reward scaling.

Difficulty Levels

How It Works

When you start a game from the Games Hub, a difficulty selection GUI appears. Choose your preferred difficulty and the game starts with those settings.

Reward Scaling

Both base rewards and time bonuses are multiplied by the difficulty multiplier:

• Easy: Base reward x 0.5
• Normal: Base reward x 1.0
• Hard: Base reward x 2.0

Per-Game Settings

Each game has difficulty-specific settings in its config file:

difficulties:
  easy:
    time-limit: 90
    grid-size: 3
  normal:
    time-limit: 60
    grid-size: 4
  hard:
    time-limit: 45
    grid-size: 5

reward-multiplier:
  easy: 0.5
  normal: 1.0
  hard: 2.0

Command Reference

All commands use /redgames or the alias /rg.

Boss Bar Timer

Boss bars are isolated by context: chat games use a global timer, solo arcade games use player-specific timers, and multiplayer GUI sessions use group timers. This prevents overlapping games from fighting over the same boss bar.

effects:
  bossbar:
    timer:
      enabled: true
      title: "&e%time%s remaining"
      color: YELLOW
      style: SOLID

Win Holograms

      enabled: true
      duration-ticks: 120
      lines:
        - "&6Winner: &e%player%"
        - "&7%game% (%difficulty%)"

MiniMessage Formatting

Enable MiniMessage for gradients, hover text, and click actions.

Enable MiniMessage

messages:
  use-minimessage: true

Gradients

# Two-color gradient
prefix: "<gradient:#ff0080:#ffc800>[RedGames]</gradient> "

# Multi-color gradient
won: "<gradient:#00ff00:#ffff00:#ff0000>%player% won!</gradient>"

# Rainbow effect
display: "<rainbow>Type this word!</rainbow>"

Hover & Click Actions

Only work in chat messages (not titles/actionbar):

# Hover tooltip
won: "<hover:show_text:'Winner!'><gold>%player% won!</gold></hover>"

# Click to run command
help: "<click:run_command:'/rg leaderboard gui'>View Leaderboard</click>"

# Click to copy
display: "<click:copy_to_clipboard:'%word%'>Click to copy</click>"

Voting System

The voting system lets players choose which game runs next. Votes can open automatically after games or be started manually by admins.

Player Flow

1. A game ends
2. RedGames waits for the configured post-game delay
3. A vote opens with several game and difficulty options
4. Players vote through chat clicks, /rg vote <number>, or the vote GUI
5. The most-voted option starts when the timer expires

Commands

Configuration

voting:
  enabled: true
  mode: auto                  # auto or manual
  post-game-delay: 5
  vote-duration: 20
  option-count: 3
  show-live-counts: true
  allow-vote-change: true
  min-players: 2
  countdown-display: BOSS_BAR # BOSS_BAR, ACTION_BAR, or NONE
  reminder-at: 10
  option-history: 2
  extra-votes:
    redgames.vote.vip: 2
    redgames.vote.mvp: 3
  options:
    pool: []                  # Empty = build from enabled auto-run games

Weighted Votes

Players with configured permission nodes can have their vote count for more than one vote. For example, a player with redgames.vote.mvp can count as 3 votes if that permission is configured under voting.extra-votes.

Daily & Weekly Challenges

Challenges give players rotating objectives that reset on a schedule. Progress is tracked per-player and completion can trigger YAML script rewards.

How It Works

• Daily and weekly challenge definitions live in plugins/RedGames/challenges/
• RedGames picks active challenges using weighted random selection
• History settings help avoid repeating the same challenges too often
• Players open the GUI with /rg challenges
• Completing a challenge fires on_daily_complete or on_weekly_complete
• Completing all active daily challenges fires on_daily_sweep

Objective Types

Challenge Definition Example

win_3_action:
  name: "Action Star"

  difficulty: medium
  objective:
    type: WIN_GAMES
    amount: 3

Storage Backends

Performance Guidance

RedGames is lightweight for normal gameplay and is suitable for larger servers when using SQLite or MySQL storage. For high-population servers, avoid YAML storage because large player files and leaderboard scans can become slower over time.

YAML (Default)

Player stats, tokens, boosters, and challenge progress are stored under plugins/RedGames/data/.

Stored Data

• Player stats, points, wins, streaks, and best times
• Token balances, cosmetics, booster inventory, and active boosters
• Daily/weekly challenge progress and active challenge state
• Script cooldowns

SQLite

File-based SQL database. Good for medium servers.

storage:
  type: SQLITE
  sqlite:
    file: "redgames.db"

MySQL

For large servers or multi-server setups.

storage:
  type: MYSQL
  mysql:
    host: localhost
    port: 3306
    database: redgames
    username: root
    password: ""
    table-prefix: rg_

Troubleshooting

Economy Not Working

• Ensure Vault is installed
• Ensure an economy plugin is installed (e.g., EssentialsX)
• Enable rewards.economy.enabled: true in game configs

Placeholders Empty

• Install PlaceholderAPI
• Identifier is redgames (not simonsays)
• Some values are blank when no game is active

Scheduler Not Running

• Check auto-run.enabled: true
• Ensure enough players are online (settings.minimum-players)
• Check that game types are enabled in enabled-games

Voting Not Opening

• Check voting.enabled: true
• Check voting.mode; manual mode only opens votes when an admin runs /rg vote start
• Ensure enough players are online for voting.min-players
• Verify the voting option pool or auto-run enabled games contains valid game types

Challenges Not Progressing

• Check challenges.enabled: true
• Run /rg challenges status to confirm active challenges are selected
• Check the objective filters for game type and difficulty
• Run /rg challenges reload after editing challenge files

Scripts Not Running

• Run /rg scripts validate and check the console for warnings
• Make sure the script file is in plugins/RedGames/scripts/ and ends with .yml
• Check the trigger name, conditions, cooldowns, and permissions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will my data from SimonSays transfer to RedGames?

A: Yes! RedGames automatically migrates all player data (stats, tokens, ranks) on first launch. No manual steps required.

Q: Do I need to update my permissions after upgrading?

A: Yes. Update simonsays.* to redgames.* in your permissions plugin.

Q: What about my PlaceholderAPI placeholders?

A: Update %simonsays_*% to %redgames_*% in your scoreboard/hologram plugins.

Q: How do I use gradients in messages?

A: Enable messages.use-minimessage: true, then use <gradient:#color1:#color2>text</gradient>

Q: Where do I add custom words/questions?

A: In plugins/RedGames/games/<type>/wordlists/ or the game's YAML file.

Q: What's the difference between Points and Tokens?

A: Points are for leaderboards. Tokens are currency for the shop. Both are earned from winning.

Q: Do boosters activate when I buy them?

A: No. Boosters go into your booster inventory. Open /rg boosters to activate them when you are ready.

Q: How are challenge rewards configured?

A: Challenges track progress only. Rewards are handled by YAML scripts using on_daily_complete, on_weekly_complete, and on_daily_sweep triggers.

Q: Can players influence the next game?

A: Yes. Enable voting.enabled and players can vote after games or during manually started vote windows.

Q: How does difficulty affect rewards?

A: Easy = 0.5x, Normal = 1.0x, Hard = 2.0x. Both base rewards and time bonuses are multiplied.

Q: Is RedGames performant on larger servers?

A: Yes, with the right storage backend. Gameplay is lightweight, but larger servers should use SQLite or MySQL instead of YAML. MySQL is recommended for high player counts, frequent leaderboard use, or long-term production servers.

Q: Can cosmetics conflict with chat plugins?

A: No. Cosmetics only appear in RedGames win messages, not regular chat.

Q: How do I reset a player's data?

A: For YAML, edit data/players.yml. For SQL, use database commands.
