FunPack: Five Chaotic Minigames for Your Minecraft Server
Most server plugins solve a practical problem: protect the spawn, manage permissions, or roll back griefed terrain. FunPack takes the opposite approach. It exists purely to make your server ridiculous in the best possible way. Built for Paper, this add-on bundles five ready-to-use party mechanics that can turn a quiet SMP night into a full-blown content machine for streams, events, and YouTube videos.
Whether you run a small survival world with friends or a public server with rotating events, FunPack gives you instant variety without writing a single line of code. Every module is toggled with one command and tuned through a simple config file.
What Is FunPack for Minecraft?
FunPack is a plugin that adds five independent chaos modules to your server. Each one is self-contained, so you can enable only the mechanics your community enjoys and leave the rest switched off. The plugin targets modern Paper builds, so you get clean performance and no legacy compatibility headaches.
Because everything lives in a single config file, server owners can adjust timers, messages, and distances without touching the code. That makes it just as useful for a private friend group as it is for a large public SMP.
Supported Versions and Loader
FunPack requires Paper 1.21.11 or newer, and it also runs on Paper forks such as Purpur. Java 21 or higher is mandatory. Spigot is not supported, so if your server still runs on Spigot, you will need to migrate before installing. The plugin is actively maintained against current Paper releases, which keeps it stable as the platform evolves.
The Five Modules Inside FunPack
Soul Link
Two players are tied together by a visible pink thread. Wander too far apart and the thread yanks you back toward your partner. Push the distance further and both of you start taking damage. If one dies, the other drops dead on the spot. Random pairing is available, or you can link specific players manually.
Revenge Ghost
Get killed by another player and you return as an invisible ghost for thirty seconds. You cannot deal damage, but you can shove your killer around the map. Every third shove blankets them in darkness, leaving them to navigate by soul particles and unsettling audio cues.
Dramatic Death
Instead of a clean death, lethal hits trigger a full cinematic sequence. The victim slows, levitates, and watches the screen darken while a dramatic title and a randomly chosen sad phrase appear. Souls rise around them before they finally fall. Kill credit still goes to the attacker, so PvP stats remain accurate.
Ad Break
Every ten minutes, the entire server freezes for a fake commercial. A jingle plays, a ridiculous advertisement runs, and a boss bar offers a skip option that does not actually work. Seven ads ship with the plugin, and you can write your own in the config for maximum comedy.
Chaos Royale
This is a battle royale where the rules shift every forty-five seconds. One moment everyone has bows only, the next nobody can jump, sprint, or stand still. Other modifiers include moon gravity, turbo speed, vampirism, position shuffling, gnome mode, and forced glowing. The world border shrinks as the match progresses, eliminated players spectate, and the winner gets fireworks.
If you would rather skip manual file management entirely, the foxygame.net launcher handles FunPack installation in a single click and keeps it updated automatically whenever a new Paper build drops.
Commands and Permissions
Everything runs through the /fun command tree. The main command lists every module and its current status, while /fun toggle switches individual modules on or off. Dedicated subcommands control soul pairing, manual ad playback, and starting or stopping a royale match. A reload command applies config changes without a restart.
/fun— view module list and status/fun toggle <souls|ghost|drama|ads|royale>— enable or disable a module/fun souls pair | link <p1> <p2> | clear— manage Soul Link pairs/fun ad— play an advertisement immediately/fun royale start [size] [minutes] | stop— run a Chaos Royale match/fun reload— reload the configuration
The fun.admin permission node governs all of these commands and is granted to operators by default. Regular players never need permissions, since every module activates automatically once enabled.
Configuration and Setup
After you download FunPack and drop it into your plugins folder, a config file appears at plugins/FunPack/config.yml. This is where you customize the ad list, death phrases, soul link distance, ghost duration, and royale timings. If you want to know how to install it manually, the process is straightforward: stop the server, place the jar in the plugins directory, restart, and edit the generated config to taste.
Because the plugin is built for Paper 1.21.11 and above, you should confirm your server software and Java version before installing. Running an older build will cause the plugin to fail on startup.
Final Thoughts
FunPack is not trying to be a serious utility plugin, and that is exactly its strength. It fills the gap between vanilla survival and full minigame frameworks by offering quick, configurable chaos that works on any Paper server. If your community needs a reason to log in on a Friday night, five toggles are all it takes.
