Simple Lava Rising
A lobby-based survival minigame where rising lava and a closing border decide who survives
Features
Lobbies – Create your own lobby through a clean menu, make it public or private and invite friends. Several lobbies can play at the same time.
Hand-built maps – Six arenas included: Plains, Forest, Taiga, Jungle, Desert Oasis and Mushroom Island. Pick one or let it be random.
Inventory safety – Inventories are saved before the round and given back afterwards.
Build phase – Time to gather and build before the lava starts. No PvP until it's over.
Rising lava – The lava climbs block by block at a set interval. Speed and height per step are adjustable.
Closing border – Once the lava reaches Y 0, the world border starts shrinking down to a minimum size.
Loot rooms – Hidden loot rooms are placed underground every round, chosen from 12 designs.
Teams – Solo, Duo, Trio or Team (4). Players pick their team or get drawn at random. No friendly fire.
Team view – Eliminated players can right-click living teammates to see their inventory and health.
Spectating – Players who are out keep watching the round.
Per-lobby settings – Build time, lava interval, lava rise, border interval, border shrink, border minimum, loot rooms, map, team view, PvP and min/max players.
Results – An animated podium with survival time, kills and placed blocks for every player, with a details menu for each.
Languages – English and German included. Set the server language in the config, or let every player choose their own.
SimpleParty support – Works with SimpleParty. Party members automatically join their leader's lobby. Optional.
