Pillar Peril
Pillar Peril in an open-source Minecraft minigame where players spawn on bedrock pillars, get random items every few seconds, and fight to be the last one standing.
Highly configurable modes and lightweight performance make it perfect for small and medium servers.
Special about this Version
The special part about this plugin is the high customizability and a bunch of different modes!
Here are the different modes that are available, with each of them being fully customizable:
| Name | Cooldown | Time | Pillars | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blocky | 10s | 4m | Circular | Starts with a weapon; only blocks are given. |
| Chaos | 3s | 8m | Random | No filters, randomized pillars, fast item cooldown. |
| Classic | 5s | 5m | Circular | Classic rules, inspired by CubeCraft. |
| Item-Only | 10s | 10m | Circular | Only items (no blocks): long & tough. |
| Item-Shuffle | 10s | 5m | Circular | Items replaced every 10s (9 new items). |
| Original | 5s | 5m | Circular | Original gameplay as seen in early videos. |
| Player-Shuffle | 10s | 5m | Circular | All players randomly swapped every 10s. |
Inspiration
This plugin is inspired by pillar-style minigames featured by creators like CheapPickle and large servers such as CubeCraft. This plugin is independent, open-source, and not affiliated with those projects.

Info about Metrics collected
PillarPeril by default collects some data about how people use the plugin, so game modes can better be adjusted and the game can further be balanced.
This is a complete list of all data collected, besides FastStats defaults:
- Amount of games running/started
- Game modifiers most frequently used
- Average amount of players per game
If you do not want to send any of these metrics, you can set disable-faststats in the configuration to true, or follow the instructions given on first startup with FastStats.
