Culling Games is a simple, high-performance plugin designed for Survival and Community servers that want to offer organized team combat without the complexity of a full minigame network.

If you are looking for a way to let your players fight each other in a controlled environment while keeping the "Survival" essence, this is your plugin.

[THE PHILOSOPHY]
This plugin is built with a "Keep it Simple" approach. It doesn't force players into complex classes or clear their hard-earned inventories. It just provides the structure: Teams, Spawns, Lives, and a Winner.

It is perfect for:

• Organizing weekend community tournaments.
  
  
• Settling faction rivalries in a neutral arena.
  
  
• Adding a "Combat Mode" to your Survival world without heavy lag.

[MAIN FEATURES]

• ⚡ Ultra-Lightweight: Designed to have a near-zero impact on your server's performance. No bloat, just the code you need.
  
  
• ️ Survival-Friendly: Players bring their own gear. The plugin manages the game logic (lives and teleports) while respecting your world's gamerules (like keepInventory).
  
  
• Simple Team Management: Easy-to-use commands for players to join RED, BLUE, or GREEN teams.
  
  
• ❤️ Life-Based Elimination: Set how many lives each player has. Once they're out, they are automatically sent to the lobby.
  
  
• ✨ Flexible Buffs & Rewards: Fully customizable potion effects per team and console-run rewards for the victors.
  
  
• Victory & MVP Logic: Automatic winner detection and announcement of the top killer (MVP) of the match.

[COMMANDS & PERMISSIONS]

• /join <team> - Join a team before the match begins.
  
  
• /setspawn <team/LOBBY> - (cullinggames.admin) Set the tactical locations for the arena.
  
  
• /cg forcestart - (cullinggames.admin) Start the countdown immediately.
  
  
• /cg reload - (cullinggames.admin) Hot-reload the config file.

[WORK IN PROGRESS - FEEDBACK WANTED!]
This is a brand new plugin and I am looking for active feedback! I wanted to create something that "just works" for my own server, and I’ve decided to share it with the community.

• Performance First: The code is clean and focuses on stability.
  
  
• Full Customization: Almost every message and setting can be tuned in the config.yml.
  
  
• Community Driven: If you find a bug or have an idea for a feature (like more teams or global stats), please let me know!

[QUICK START]

1. Install the JAR and restart.
   
   
2. Set your world gamerule: /gamerule keepInventory true.
   
   
3. Set your spawn points with /setspawn.
   
   
4. Gather your players and let them fight!

[FAQ]
Q: Does it support multiple arenas? A: Not yet. To keep it ultra-lightweight, it currently supports one organized match at a time.

Q: Will it clear my players' items? A: Never. The plugin is designed to be safe for Survival servers. It does not touch player inventories.
