Introduction
Capture the Flag is designed for you and your friends to play together and have fun while sharpening your PvP skills. Since the configuration file allows for adjustments, you can build your own maps or download others' and play on them. Please note that it is not designed to work on public servers that endure many players. It is more so made to have fun with a particular group of people. Also keep in mind that this is my second ever completed plugin as I've only very recently started to learn to make my own. Thank you to @Autom and @manuelgu for their help! Feedback is appreciated.
Features
To install the plugin, simply put the CaptureTheFlag.jar into your plugins folder and restart the server.
The configuration file has default values preset. For proper gameplay, you MUST put in your own. The following code insert has notes at every field to explain what they do and their significance. You can copy and paste this heavily noted template into your own CTF config.yml to help you if you wish.

- Flags: When you right click the opposing team's flag to pick it up, the flag goes into your 9th hotbar slot and also on your head to allow other players to see who is holding the flag. It also spawns particles on you while you are in possession of the flag to make it more clear. Score it for your team by right clicking

- Other: Players cannot break blocks to avoid breaking the map. Hunger does not go down. Spectators cannot fly outside the map while in gamemode 3. Weather does not change. A team cannot go inside of its own flag to try to prevent others from being able to right click it. Kits consist of unbreakable items.
