What is Force Item Battle?

Players are assigned a random Minecraft item and must obtain it before the timer runs out. Miss the deadline, or burn one of your limited skips to move on. The team with the most completed challenges wins.

Inspired by the BastiGHG Force Item Battle video format, now brought to multiplayer with proper team mechanics.

Features

👥 Teams 1–100

Create as many or as few teams as you need — up to 100. Each team gets a unique color. Teams are numbered for simplicity, support up to 100 competing groups, and persist across server restarts.

📦 Live Item Display

• The required item floats above every player's head as an armor-stand display
• It also appears next to the player's name in tab and above their name tag
• A live action bar shows: current item · time remaining · skips left

🏆 Animated Ranking Reveal

Run /fadmin reveal when the game ends. A chest GUI opens for all players and teams appear one by one from bottom to top — worst place first, winner last — with a 4-second dramatic pause between each reveal.

🃏 Skip / Joker System

Each team starts with a configurable number of skips. Right-click the red Barrier item in your hotbar to skip. Skips reset each round and are shared across the whole team.

🎒 Team Backpack

A shared 27-slot inventory for every team. Useful for pooling items. Toggle it on/off in the settings GUI or config.

🔒 Lobby Freeze

While the game is not running, team members cannot walk or run (jumping and head rotation are still allowed). This keeps players in place during setup. OPs are always exempt.

⚙️ Settings GUI

A full in-game settings menu (/fadmin settings) lets you adjust:

• Round duration (click left/right to change by 1 min, shift-click for 5 min)
• Max skips per team
• Backpack on/off
• Team lock on/off
• Start / Stop / Restart buttons
