Ore Wars Minigame

Ore wars is a pvp capture the flag/ resource stealing hybrid minigame. The objective is to mine 50 ores from your opponents castle, to power your own teams ore monument. This game is fully resettable, and functions via command blocks. Teams consist of team diamond and team emerald. Members of each team are simply selected by walking onto which ever team a person wants. Once a person from each team pulls a lever, the game will begin.

Strategy is a key competent of the minigame. There are many parts of the arena you can interact with such as:

- Gates: you can open and close the front gate via controls on the second floor of each castle. You can also control the gates in the tunnels, but can only cut off one tunnel at a time. With a bow and arrow, one can entrap invading players in the main ore hall.
- The Congregation: This structure is located in the center of the map and is vital to turning the tide in the battle. On each side there is a lever which give a strength bonus for 25 seconds for those within the Congregation. The team that controls the Congregation may switch off the congregation for the other team, giving their own team the advantage. A 25 second rush could be used to invade the castle, take some ore, and leave.
- Tunnels and Rivers: These are two environmental structures one can interact with in order to avoid the main pathways set before you in the game
- Climbable Walls: These are marked on the castle as being slightly lighter than the stone brick of the castle. A player may collect vines in order to approach the castle via the windows.

Gamemodes. There are 3 different gamemodes for this minigame which all involve how the Congregation works. You can change the gamemode via the main lobby.

1) Normal mode: The Congregation acts as normal. Each team can control a lever which gives their team a strength boost within the congregation. The teams with control of the Congregation will be indicated with either a blue or green beacon beam (or teal when both levers are active).
2) Brutal mode: The Congregation no longer has levers, anyone within the Congregation radius receives the boost for 25 seconds. This is indicated by a red beacon beam
3: Dull mode: The game is simply focused on stealing ores, and the Congregation is no longer active. This is indicated by a yellow beacon beam.
