Introduction
NBContest is a highly optimized, feature-rich, and automated Minecraft server plugin for hosting exciting real-time competitions.
NBContest
NBContest is a professional-grade, lightweight, and fully standalone Minecraft server plugin designed to boost player engagement through real-time competitive events. Server administrators can set up automated or manual contests such as farming, fishing, and mob hunting complete with dynamic screen indicators, customizable scoreboards, and automated console commands to reward the winners.
Core Pillars
Diverse Contests
Run 4 competitive activities: Crop Harvesting (Farming), Fish catching, Hostile Monster Hunting, and Passive Animal Culling.
Dynamic Displays
Keep players hooked with MiniMessage-compatible Boss Bars, real-time action bars, and live Top 3 scoreboard sidebars.
Intelligent Scheduler
Set up automatic weekly or daily schedules. Target specific crop types for individual days of the week (e.g. carrots on Saturdays).
Exploit Prevention
Built-in anti-cheat: tracks player-placed blocks, processes multi-block vertical breaks (Sugar Cane), and requires fully mature crops.
Rich Rewards Engine
Automatically execute single or multiple custom console commands for the Top 3 players at the end of each contest.
PlaceholderAPI Hook
Full PlaceholderAPI expansion providing variables for active contest details, player scores, ranks, and live podium statistics.
