🔌 About Kix's Chat Games

Kix's Chat Games is a Minecraft plugin that provides lightweight, configurable chat-based minigames. The plugin runs game loops that post challenges in chat (trivia questions, math problems, word scrambles, reaction/race prompts and similar) so players can answer in chat to win rewards. It focuses on keeping server chat active and giving server staff configurable options for scheduling, messages, and reward commands.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin is intended for server owners and staff who want to increase player engagement using short, repeatable chat games. It is useful on public and private servers that want periodic, low-overhead minigame interactions without additional world-based minigame infrastructure.

⚙️ Features

• Multiple game types: trivia, math challenges, unscramble/fill-in, multiple choice and reaction-style games (confirmed in official resource discussion).
• Automatic scheduling: games can run automatically at configurable intervals or be force-started by staff.
• Configurable messages and language files for displayed text and game prompts.
• Player-level sound toggle for chat-game sounds (a sound toggle command was added in updates).
• Game libraries (trivia/word lists) that are shipped with the plugin and can be modified.
• Vanish compatibility for player count checks (plugin respects common vanish plugins).

🧩 Who It Is For

• Survival and SMP servers that want frequent lightweight activities in chat.
• Community and public servers aiming to increase chat activity and casual participation.
• Server administrators who prefer server-side, text-only minigames without extra world resources.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Schedule trivia every hour to reward active chat participants.
• Run live math or unscramble rounds during events to encourage player interaction.
• Staff force-start a game when a larger group is online to run a short competition.
