Minecraft plugin ChatGames

🔌 About ChatGames

ChatGames is a Minecraft plugin that adds interactive mini-games directly into the server chat. It provides a variety of short, chat-driven games (trivia, math challenges, word scrambles, reaction games and similar formats) so players can compete without leaving chat.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin's core purpose is to increase player interaction and retention by offering lightweight chat activities that run frequently or on-demand. It can distribute rewards (economy integration for cash rewards is documented in older releases) and keeps chat active with short, repeatable rounds.

⚙️ Features

• Multiple built-in game types (trivia, math, word scramble, reaction games).
• Configurable and translatable messages and texts.
• Hiscores / tracking for player performance (mentioned in official listings).
• Manual start commands and broadcast controls.
• Customisable game options and messages.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Survival and SMP servers that want to add lightweight, ongoing engagement.
• Community or social servers aiming to stimulate chat activity.
• Servers that use an economy plugin and Vault to give cash rewards (economy integration noted in older releases).

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Run a scheduled trivia question to reward the first correct answer.
• Let staff start quick reaction games between rounds to entertain players.
• Use word scrambles or math challenges as filler content during low-activity periods.
