One plugin for every "Minecraft, but..." idea.
Open the menu, click a twist, play. Combine as many as you want, or let the roulette swap them every few minutes. Made for challenge videos, streams and events with friends.
The 24 twists
- Random Drops, Random Mob Loot, Scrambled Crafting (scrambled per seed, so you can learn it)
- Explosive Mining, Explosive Arrows, Exploding Mobs
- The Floor Is Lava, Everything Falls, Midas Touch
- Shared Health, One Heart, Jumping Hurts, Deadly Water, Sunburn
- Jump Stacking, Speed Ramp, Sneak Blink, Gravity Flip
- Hydra Mobs, Mob Swap
- Random Item Timer, Inventory Shuffle, Random Teleport, XP Lottery
Roulette
Picks random twists and swaps them on a timer, with a countdown boss bar and a title for everyone.
World reset
Start a fresh run without touching the server files. Pick exactly what gets reset: Overworld, Nether, The End, a new random seed and player data. A confirmation page shows a summary first.
Commands
- /butwhat opens the menu
- /butwhat enable|disable <twist>, /butwhat list, /butwhat off
- /butwhat roulette [minutes|off], /butwhat spin
- /butwhat reset opens the world reset menu
Good to know
- Every twist has its own settings in the config (timers, damage, chances)
- Lasting effects such as One Heart are undone when a twist is switched off
- The world reset restarts the server. It only comes back by itself if a restart script is set in spigot.yml
