True Finals

Survive the ultimate test of skill. When the border closes in and the skies are filled with explosives, only the strongest PVPers will remain.

True Finals is a highly optimized datapack designed to host a SMP finale in a battle royale style. It brings a ton of features, like air drops, shrinking borders, falling explosives and much more...

How a match works

• Pre-game Lobby: Players wait while the admin uses a simple chat menu to hand out kits and start the countdown.
• The Drop: The game begins! Players drop into the map. From here on out, dying means you become a spectator.
• Border Shrink (200x200): The world border shrinks for the first time, forcing players closer together.
• Supply Drops: High-tier loot crates fall from the sky on custom parachutes. You can track them by looking for the smoke flares on the ground.
• Border Shrink (100x100): The border shrinks again to keep the action going.
• TNT Strikes (disabled by default): Explosives start tumbling down from the sky. They destroy the terrain and damage players, forcing everyone out of their hiding spots.
• Final Shrink (10x10): The border closes in completely for the final fights.
• Overtime (Sudden Death): If there is still no winner when the time runs out, the rules change. Every 30 seconds, a random event triggers to force a winner. This includes:
  • Players swapping places
  • Anvil rain
  • Everyone's max health cut in half
  • Getting teleported high into the sky
  • Hostile mob swarms
  • Global levitation, starvation, or blindness
