Background

Once upon a time, The Hive was on Java edition. My favourite game on the server was Deathrun, I liked it enough to want to build my own map. In 2018, I built the map and uploaded it to Planet Minecraft. But...I’m not entirely sure it worked (sorry if you played it and it didn’t). Now, four years later, I have updated it, made sure it works, added more, and made a plugin with additional features.

How to Play

It’s imporant to read all the signs for things I might’ve missed here.

Once everyone is ready, someone can press the ‘Start Game’ button at the cloud lobby. This teleports everyone to the starting area, and randomly picks a player to be death.

RUNNERS: the people trying to get to the end of the map first by safely traversing the 21 traps.

• Crimson pressure plates set the initial spawnpoint
• Acacia pressure plates increase score (to see who is where)
• Polished blackstone pressure plates are checkpoints (spawnpoints)
• Pressure plates above emerald blocks give jump boost
• Pressure plates above red wool give speed boost
• The warped pressure plates at the end give jump and speed boost

The first runner to jump into the sun and press the button is the winner!

DEATH: the person trying to stop the players from reaching the end by activating traps

• Start pressure plate #1: spawnpoint
• Start pressure plate #2: join team “Death” (grants invisibility)
• Start pressure plate #3: speed
• Start pressure plate #4: message

Each of the 21 traps (except the natural ones) has a button to activate it.

Deathrun+ Plugin

The plugin is NOT required to play the game.

Deathrun+ is a spigot plugin that adds a few additional features to Deathrun. I don’t feel like putting it on the Spigot website, so you’ll need to know how to put in on your server a different way.

COMMANDS:

/traps

(Only death can use this command.) Opens a menu that lets Death teleport to any trap.

/lobby

Teleports the player to the lobby

OTHER:

• Void deaths are instant.

Problems

• Traps have no cooldowns. (I tried my best to come up with a way to make them in Vanilla Minecraft, but I couldn’t. With Spigot I managed to get the buttons to dissapear for a few seconds after being pressed, but I couldn’t get them to reappear in the right orientation.) I usually tell Death to give 5 seconds between activations.
• The TNT trap (#11) will eject the closest player, no matter where they are. I usually tell Death to only activiate the trap once per person
