Minigame Details
How the game works
Players join your arena using commands or signs. When 2 or more players are queue'd up and ready to fight, a 20-second timer starts. After the 20 seconds, the queued players are sent to the arena to fight! Players get a Snowball Gun and a Diamond Sword as weapons. The goal of the game is to kill players on the opposing team as many times as possible. Each kill earns your team 1 point. Also, each kill you make gets you 100 killpoints which can be spent on Upgrades at the Backbone Store. The game lasts 5 minutes, and when the time is up all the players are teleported out of the arena.
Backbone guarantees your server an endlessly addicting minigame your players will adore. With support for up to 5 different Backbone arenas, the game won't ever get dull. Plus, Backbone updates will assure that you have the latest-and-greatest features and fun! So install Backbone today and see just how fun it can be!
DISCLAIMER: Be sure to set your arena, end, and lobbies in the SAME WORLD, otherwise you may get inventory storage problems!

Join Signs
If you would instead like to use Join Signs instead of commands, it's really simple to do! First, you must have permission backbone.sign (OP default). Then simply place a sign and follow this format:
Line1: [Backbone]
Line2: Join
Line3: Arena#
Line4: (leave this line empty)
Line3 is the arena number you want players to join when they click your sign. "1" (without quotes) is what you'd use to join arena 1. Using a Join Sign is a great alternative to using the boring join commands!
