KoTHX – King of The Hill
KoTHX is a powerful, fully configurable King of The Hill system built for competitive Minecraft servers that demand performance, flexibility, and deep integrations. Whether your server runs factions, clans, kingdoms, gangs, or pure solo PvP, KoTHX seamlessly adapts to your ecosystem and enhances every event.
The plugin supports both Solo Player Capture and Team/Clan Capture, allowing you to choose whether individuals compete alone or entire factions/clans/teams fight for dominance. The capture logic is optimized for fairness and performance, ensuring smooth transitions, proper contest handling, and accurate winner detection.
Advanced Capture Mechanics
KoTHX includes a fully implemented Grace System:
- When a capturing player/clan/team leaves the capture zone, they have 3 seconds (configurable) to return.
- If they return within the grace period, the capture continues.
- If not, the capture progress resets.
This prevents instant resets while keeping the system competitive and fair.
The plugin also features a Warmup Capture system:
- Default 15-second warmup (configurable) before the actual capture begins.
- Players must remain inside the zone during warmup before real progress starts.
- Perfect for balanced starts and reducing instant wins.
Reward & Event Features
KoTHX includes a fully customizable Reward & Loot System, allowing you to configure commands, items, money, crate keys, or any custom rewards. Rewards can scale based on participation, team size, or custom conditions.
With built-in BossBar & Chat Support, players receive real-time capture progress updates, alerts, and victory announcements without unnecessary spam or performance impact.
Smart Scheduling & Random KoTH System
The advanced Alerts + Schedules system allows you to automate KoTH events at specific times with full All TimeZones Support, making it ideal for international communities.
KoTHX also supports Random KoTH Starts:
- You can schedule multiple KoTH arenas at the same time (for example 1:00PM and 3:00PM).
- If multiple KoTHs are scheduled at the same hour, a random KoTH will start automatically.
- Use /kothxadmin kothrandom all to enable random selection from all configured KoTHs.
This ensures variety and unpredictability in your event rotations.
Leaderboards & Placeholder System
KoTHX includes a powerful Placeholder system that tracks capture statistics for:
You can track and display:
- Daily captures - %kothx_top_position_daily%
- Weekly captures - %kothx_top_position_weekly%
- All-time captures - %kothx_top_position_alltime%
