Simple CTF

Simple CTF is a Minecraft Capture the Flag mod with multiple team flags, customizable platform structures, protected bases, configurable slowdown, and live match statistics.

I created this mod so I could play Capture the Flag with my son while keeping the game fair and enjoyable for both of us.

The match can be balanced for players with different skill levels. For example, the stronger or more experienced player can receive a movement slowdown, have more flags to defend, or be required to capture more enemy flags.

This makes it possible for adults, children, beginners, and experienced players to compete together without one side having a major advantage.

Build your own bases, choose how many flags each team has, adjust the slowdown settings, and create a match that fits your players.

Features

• Craft unlimited red and green platforms
• Craft unlimited red and green flags
• Build connected team structures
• Place multiple flags per team
• Red flags can only be placed on red platforms
• Green flags can only be placed on green platforms
• Carry only one flag at a time
• Flags disappear permanently when captured during the match
• Match ends when all enemy flags are captured
• Flags drop when carriers die or disconnect
• Dropped flags automatically return after the configured time
• Platform and flag placement is locked when the game starts
• Platform structures become protected during the match
• Configure slowdown for selected flags
• Onscreen captures, deaths, and carrier-death statistics

Setup

1. Build the red and green platform structures.
2. Place red flags on red platforms and green flags on green platforms.
3. Structures and flags register automatically when flags are placed.
4. Assign players to teams:

/team join Red PlayerName
/team join Green PlayerName

1. Optionally configure the dropped-flag return time:

/ctf setreturntime 60

1. Optionally configure slowdown for the last flags:

/ctf setslowdown red 3 20
/ctf setslowdown green 0 0

This makes the last 3 red flags slow carriers by 20%.

1. Start the game:

/ctf start

The game announces how many flags each team has.

Useful Commands

/ctf status
/ctf stop
/ctf reset

Teams are created automatically when the mod loads. /ctf setup can also be used to ensure the teams exist.
