BR Zone Manager

Battle Zone Manager is a flexible and powerful server-side mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 designed to bring dynamic Battle Royale and Lasertag minigames to your server. Packed with automatic world border shrinking, customizable respawn mechanics, integrated sound alerts, and a live scoreboard, this mod is perfect for events, community projects, or dedicated minigame servers!

The mod features two fully integrated, unique game modes:

• 🏆 Default Mode (Battle Royale):
  • Classic survival combat within a shrinking play area.
  • Spawn Banner: Every player receives a Red Spawn Banner at the start:
    • Right-click on a Block/Ground: Sets your fixed, personal respawn point at that exact location.
    • Right-click into the Air: Clears your personal spawn point – you will respawn randomly inside the active zone upon death.
• ⚡ Lasertag Mode:
  • Fast-paced, action-packed mode featuring instant kills!
  • Random Laser Blaster: Players spawn with an enchanted Trident styled as either a Magenta or Cyan Laser Blaster.
  • Continuous Beam Effect: Fires a sharp, gapless particle beam across long distances.
  • 0.5s Cooldown: Built-in anti-spam firing cooldown with visual and audio feedback.
  • In Lasertag mode, players do not receive a Spawn Banner and always respawn at safe, random locations.

Advanced gameplay mechanics ensure a smooth and fair experience:

• ⚡ Instant Respawn (No Death Screen):
  • Player deaths are handled seamlessly by the server. Players bypass the standard death screen and instantly respawn back into the game.
• 🛡️ Safe Anti-Wall Spawns:
  • The spawn algorithm checks for open air blocks above solid ground. Players will never spawn inside walls, blocks, or outside the world border.
• ❤️ Natural Regeneration Disabled:
  • The gamerule naturalRegeneration is automatically set to false during active games and restored to true when the game ends.
• 🎒 Invisibility & KeepInventory:
  • Players receive 10 seconds of grace period invisibility at match start, along with forced keepInventory so gear is never lost on death.

Dynamic zone management keeps matches tense and competitive:

• 🗺️ Multi-Stage Border Shrinking: The world border shrinks smoothly over multiple dynamic phases from the configured initial radius down to the end radius.
• 📍 Centered Play Area: The zone center can be configured using exact coordinates or set directly to the admin's current position.
• ⏸️ Pause & Freeze Commands: Pause the game clock and zone at any time. The freeze mode additionally immobilizes all players (ideal for host announcements).

Full match oversight with automated audio notifications:

• ⏳ Audible Time Alerts:
  • Automatic chat broadcasts paired with distinct sound notifications at 5 Minutes, 1 Minute, 30 Seconds, 10 Seconds, and a final countdown from 5 to 1.
• 📊 Sidebar Scoreboard:
  • Live tracking of remaining match time and total kills per player.
• ✨ Glow Radar:
  • Every 50 seconds, all active players glow for 10 seconds to highlight camper locations and speed up match pacing.

Simple match setup via easy-to-use in-game commands:

• 🛠️ Configuration Command:
  • /configgame <x> <y> <z> <startBorderSize> <endBorderSize> <gameTimeMinutes> <mode>
