Not The Servers Fault
A competitive Minecraft challenge plugin where players race to get a diamond block while facing reality-bending "twists" and psychological elements.
⬇ Download on Modrinth❓ Overview
NotTheServersFault is a unique challenge plugin designed for content creators or friends who want a bit of chaotic fun. The goal is simple: Get a Diamond Block.
However, the world is full of "glitches" and reality-bending twists. From fake players in chat to blocks that refuse to stay broken, it creates an atmosphere of server lag that is actually part of the game.
🏆 Competition
This plugin is built for multiple players to compete at once.
- The Lobby: Everyone starts in a glass box at Y=6700 with Interstellar-style music.
- Invincibility: The lobby is a safe zone; damage and PvP are disabled. (obvious)
- Ready Up: Use
/startto mark yourself as ready. - Winning: The first person to obtain a Diamond Block wins, and the challenge ends.
- Reset: The plugin automatically resets the world once a winner is crowned.
🌑 The Twists
Click to reveal the "glitches" ⚠️- Block Desync: Common blocks like Stone or Dirt might "revert" instantly after being broken.
- Cursed Crafting: 10% chance for crafts to fail and give you "trash" instead.
- The Secret Diamond Ore: Diamond Ore gives Dirt. Diamonds are found by mining a random Secret Ore (Gold, Redstone, Lapis, or Emerald) that changes every time the server starts.
- Mob Ambush: Mining the Secret Ore up close triggers scary sounds and an immediate ambush of Zombies, Skeletons, and Witches!
- Daylight Spawns: Hostile mobs spawn near you during the day and are immune to sunlight.
- Ghost Players: Realistic fake players join, chat, and leave to mess with your head.
- Inventory Shuffle: Your inventory randomly shuffles every 5 minutes.
- Vanishing Structures: Villages and structures disappear when you get too close.
- Sun Immunity: Monsters are permanently protected from fire and sunlight.
