BPS | Better Paintball System
Transform your Minecraft server into a vibrant, competitive battlefield with BPS | Better Paintball System. This powerful plugin revives and modernizes the classic paintball minigame, offering a fully configurable experience that pits teams against each other in fast-paced snowball fights. Whether you run a small community server or a large network, BPS delivers endless fun with its deep customization, progression systems, and seamless integration.
What Makes BPS | Better Paintball System Stand Out?
BPS is not just a simple minigame; it's a complete paintball ecosystem. Two teams spawn in a custom-built arena and battle using snowballs, with each hit reducing the opposing team's lives. The last team standing wins. But beneath this straightforward premise lies a wealth of features that keep players engaged for hours.
Dynamic KillStreaks, Hats, and Perks
One of the most exciting aspects of BPS | Better Paintball System is its reward mechanics. As players rack up kills, they unlock powerful KillStreaks like Triple Shoot (fires three snowballs at once), Lightning Strike (zaps nearby enemies), and Fury Mode (temporary invincibility). Unique Hats grant passive abilities — wear the Speed Hat for a permanent speed boost, or the Explosive Hat to take out foes upon death. Permanent Perks such as Extra Lives and Initial Killcoins can be upgraded over time, giving dedicated players a tangible edge.
Fully Customizable Arenas
Setting up your own paintball arena is intuitive. After defining the main lobby with /paintball setmainlobby, you can create multiple arenas, each with adjustable team lives, game timers, and player limits. The interactive setup GUI lets you place spawn points, tweak team colors, and even enable join signs for quick access. Whether you want a small 2v2 skirmish or a chaotic 10v10 battle, BPS adapts to your vision.
Economy and Progression
BPS includes a built-in economy using Paintball Coins, which players earn through kills and wins. These coins can be spent in the shop on hats, perks, and killstreaks. For servers already using Vault or TokenManager, the plugin supports those economies as well, ensuring smooth integration with your existing setup. Player statistics like wins, losses, and kills are stored via MySQL, so progress persists across server restarts.
How to Install BPS | Better Paintball System for Minecraft
Installing BPS | Better Paintball System is straightforward. It's designed as a Spigot/Paper plugin for Minecraft Java Edition, supporting modern versions from 1.16 to 1.20. Simply drop the JAR file into your server's plugins folder and restart. For those using the foxygame.net launcher, you can easily add BPS | Better Paintball System to your modpack or server instance with just a few clicks, ensuring version compatibility and automatic updates. After installation, use /paintball setmainlobby to define the hub, then create and configure your first arena.
Creating Your First Arena
Once the plugin is loaded, follow these steps to get your first game running:
- Stand in the desired lobby area and run
/paintball setmainlobby. - Create a new arena with
/paintball create <arena_name>. - Enter edit mode using
/paintball edit <arena_name>and use the GUI to set spawn points for Team 1 and Team 2. - Adjust game settings like lives per team, countdown timers, and maximum players directly in the GUI.
- Enable the arena with
/paintball enable <arena_name>and watch players join via signs or commands.
Commands and Permissions
BPS offers a clear command structure for both admins and players. Admins have full control over arena management, while players can join, leave, and access the shop. Key commands include:
/paintball join <arena>— Join a specific arena./paintball leave— Leave the current game./paintball shop— Open the in-game shop to spend coins./paintball givecoins <player> <amount>— Admin command to grant coins.
Permissions are node-based, with paintball.admin for all administrative tasks. Player commands currently require no special permissions, making it easy for everyone to jump in.
Advanced Features for Server Owners
BPS | Better Paintball System goes beyond basic gameplay with tools that enhance server management and player engagement.
Leaderboard Holograms
Using DecentHolograms integration, you can display top wins and kills leaderboards globally, monthly, or weekly. These floating holograms add a competitive spirit and give players a goal to strive for.
PlaceholderAPI Support
With built-in PlaceholderAPI placeholders like %paintball_wins% and %paintball_kills%, you can create custom scoreboards, chat messages, or tab displays that reflect player stats in real time.
Per-Arena Chat and Play-Again Items
Each arena can have its own isolated chat channel, keeping game communication clean. After a match ends, players receive a play-again item to quickly queue for another round, reducing downtime.
