Features

IcedSpear is packed with features designed to make lobby and map management effortless.

Map Management

The core of IcedSpear is its dynamic map instance system. Unlike standard multi-world plugins, IcedSpear treats maps as temporary or persistent instances that can be created on demand.

Instance Types

• Public Maps: Shared instances accessible by anyone via the map selector or commands. Great for main lobbies or open game modes.
  • ID Format: PUBLIC_<mapName>
• Private Maps: Exclusive instances created for specific players or groups.
  • ID Format: <mapName>_<randomCode>
• Party Maps: Private instances specifically reserved for a party.
  • ID Format: <mapName>_party-<partyCode>

Lifecycle

1. Creation: When a map is requested, IcedSpear asynchronously generates a new world using a lightweight void generator.
2. Initialization: Schematics are pasted (if configured) and game rules are applied.
3. Active: Players play in the instance.
4. Cleanup: When the last player leaves (plus a configurable delay), the world is unloaded and deleted to save resources.

Party System

IcedSpear includes a fully-featured party system to keep friends together.

Capabilities

• Creation: Any player can create a party and become the leader.
• Invites: Leaders can invite other players via /party invite <player>.
• Warping: When the party leader joins a map, all party members are automatically warped to that same map instance.
• Chat: A dedicated party chat channel (if enabled).

Commands

• /party create: Start a new party.
• /party invite <player>: Send an invitation.
• /party join <code> or /party accept <player>: Join a party.
• /party leave: Leave your current party.

Friend System

Build a community with the integrated friend system.

• Friend Requests: Send and receive friend requests.
• Online Status: See which friends are online and what map they are playing on.
• Quick Actions: Easily invite friends to your party.

Leaderboards

Foster competition with built-in leaderboards.

• Per-Map Tracking: Track fastest times, high scores, or other metrics for each specific map.
• Global & Instance: View global top players or just the leaders in your current instance.
• Holograms: (Optional) Display leaderboards in-game using hologram integrations.
