True Finals

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

Admin Menu

Admins can type /trigger tf_menu in chat to open an interactive control panel. The menu is split into 4 pages, giving you full control without typing any complex commands.

Control the flow of the match.

• Start Countdown: Starts the pre-game lobby timer.
• Start Immediately: Skips the lobby and starts the match right away.
• Stop & Clean: Instantly ends the game, removes the borders, and resets everything.
• Skip Phase: Skips the current timer (e.g. skips a border shrink or waiting period).

Adjust the rules and settings before the game starts.

• Set Center: Sets the middle of the arena and world border to where you are standing.
• Countdown Duration: Change the pre-game timer (1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 minutes).
• Toggle TNT: Turn the falling explosives on or off.
• Toggle Airdrop: Turn the mid-game loot crates on or off.
• Toggle Teleport: Choose if players get teleported back to the center after the game ends.

Manage player inventories.

• Give Diamond / Netherite SMP Kit: Gives everyone a fully enchanted PvP kit.
• Clear All Gear: Wipes all items from everyone's inventory.
• Toggle Start Kit: Choose what kit players automatically receive when dropping into the map (None, Diamond, or Netherite).

Useful tools for testing the datapack before hosting a real event.

• Toggle Debug Mode: Shows technical timers and stats in the chat.
• Force Sudden Death: Skips everything and instantly starts Overtime.
• Spawn Airdrop / TNT Strike: Drops a single crate or explosive above your head to test it out.
