The AI builds complete game systems with arenas, teams, scoring, timers, and respawn logic -- all from a natural language description. *** ## Getting Started Just describe the minigame you want: ``` create a spleef minigame build a PvP arena with teams make a parkour course with checkpoints and a timer create a capture the flag game ``` The AI handles everything: building the arena with WorldEdit, writing the game logic in Skript, setting up commands, and testing it. *** ## Example Minigames **You say:** ``` create a spleef game with: - snow arena that regenerates after each round - support for 2-8 players - /spleef join and /spleef leave commands - countdown before start - last player standing wins ``` **The AI builds:** * A snow-layered arena using WorldEdit * Join/leave commands with player tracking * A countdown timer (3... 2... 1... GO!) * Fall detection to eliminate players * Winner announcement and arena reset * All as a single Skript with commands **You say:** ``` make a king of the hill minigame where: - there's a gold block platform in the center - players get 1 point per second standing on it - first to 60 points wins - players respawn when killed - show scores on the sidebar ``` **The AI builds:** * A hill structure with a gold block capture point * Point tracking with per-second scoring for the player on the hill * Scoreboard sidebar showing all player scores * Death/respawn handling * Win condition and game-end logic **You say:** ``` build a treasure hunt game: - randomly place 20 hidden chests across the map - each chest has random loot - player who finds the most chests in 5 minutes wins - show a scoreboard with chest count ``` **The AI builds:** * Random chest placement script * Loot table generation * Chest-found detection when opened * 5-minute game timer with announcements * Scoreboard tracking found chests per player * Winner announcement when time runs out **You say:** ``` create a parkour course with: - 15 increasingly difficult jumps - checkpoints every 5 jumps - a timer that shows on the action bar - a /parkour start command - leaderboard for best times ``` **The AI builds:** * Physical parkour structure using WorldEdit * Checkpoint system with pressure plates or regions * Action bar timer display * Fall detection that returns players to last checkpoint * Best-time tracking with a leaderboard command **You say:** ``` build a team PvP arena: - red team vs blue team - team selection with /join red or /join blue - best of 5 rounds, 2 minute rounds - kit selection (archer, warrior, tank) - score display on sidebar ``` **The AI builds:** * Arena structure with two team spawns * Team assignment and balancing * Kit system with class-specific gear * Round timer with automatic resets * Score tracking and sidebar display * Win condition and game summary *** ## Tips for Building Great Minigames Building iteratively gives the AI (and you) better results: ``` make a basic PvP arena <- Start with the core concept add team selection (red vs blue) <- Layer on teams add a kill scoreboard <- Add scoring make it best of 3 rounds <- Add round structure add kit selection before each round <- Add class selection ``` Each step lets you test and refine before adding complexity. One massive request is harder for the AI to get right on the first try. The more detail you give about game rules, the better the result: ``` -- Vague (AI has to guess everything) make a fun game -- Specific (AI knows exactly what to build) make a game where players collect wool from colored sheep, bring it to their base's crafting table, and first team to craft a full set of colored beds wins ``` For arenas and maps, tell the AI to use WorldEdit: ``` install WorldEdit and build a 50x50 PvP arena with stone walls, a lava moat, and 4 team spawn corners ``` WorldEdit lets the AI build large structures quickly instead of placing blocks one by one. Specifying player counts and timers helps the AI create proper game flow: ``` - minimum 2 players to start - maximum 8 players - 30 second lobby countdown - 5 minute game rounds - 10 second break between rounds ``` Good minigames communicate what is happening to players: ``` add titles for "Round Start" and "Game Over" show the timer on the action bar play a sound when someone scores announce kills and eliminations show a scoreboard with team scores ``` *** ## Testing Minigames You can test multiplayer minigames even when playing solo. Ask the AI to add test-friendly features: ``` make the minigame start with just 1 player for testing add a /spleef forcestart command that skips the player minimum add a debug mode that shows game state in chat ``` You can also invite friends to test. Share your server address from the [dashboard](https://minekube.com/dashboard) and have them connect. *** ## Troubleshooting Minigames If something is not working as expected, tell the AI what is wrong: ``` the spleef arena doesn't reset after a round players don't respawn when they fall the scoreboard isn't updating the game starts before enough players join the countdown timer shows the wrong number ``` The AI reads the Skript, identifies the issue, fixes it, and reloads -- usually in under 30 seconds.
