MissileWarsX (or *MwX*) is an open source implementation of the legendary MissileWars mini-game created by SethBling and Cubehamster. This plugin offers a refined experience that is true to the original game. MwX enables other tweaks & performance options that make the game more enjoyable.



## Getting Started



#### CAUTION: MissileWarsX is designed to run on its OWN Minecraft server. The server will automatically be reset into a clean state after every reboot. Do not install MissileWarsX on an existing server, this action will delete data irreversibly!



Download the latest build of MissileWarsX from the [Releases](https://github.com/encodeous/MissileWarsX/releases/tag/latest).



MwX requires Paper version 1.16.5+, and supports up to 1.19.3 as of now.



Here are a list of the dependencies required to run MwX:

- ProtocolLib ([SpigotMC](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/))

- FastAsyncWorldEdit 2.x.x ([FAWE](https://intellectualsites.github.io/download/fawe.html))



After collecting all the necessary dependencies, copy the config from the [recommended-config](https://github.com/encodeous/MissileWarsX/tree/dev/recommended-config) folder to the root of your server's directory. These settings are recommended to provide a smooth and consistent experience.



*That's all. You can play around with the plugin config, head on over to the [wiki](https://github.com/encodeous/MissileWarsX/wiki) for more info!*



## Main Features



MissileWarsX has a lot of cool & fancy features that make the gameplay more interesting & smooth.



### Mechanics



- MwX sticks to the classic MissileWars experience, with 2 teams, 5 different types of missiles (see below), fireballs, arrows and shields.

- Fireballs explode when missiles collide with them.

- Ties where both portals are exploded within 5 seconds are recorded. In the case of a tie, statistics will reflect the tie.

- There are two map types, `auto` and `manual`. Players can be automatically distributed to each team when joining, or may choose their own teams.

- Players can practice techniques (like tnt-launching) in `PRACTICE` lobbies, where they can give themselves creative mode.



### Gameplay



- Deaths and Kills with tnt are traced to the person who placed it, naturally, this means that players who planted the winning missile is credited with the win.

- Items have descriptions to help out new players.

- Instant and seamless map reset, without kicking players.

- Players have the ability to break blocks at a faster rate than in Vanilla with their bare hands, useful for breaking redstone blocks. This does not simply use the haste effect.

- MwX displays the player/tab-list with special formatting, adding useful information such as statisics & latency.



### Statistics

- MissileWarsX keeps track of players' activity, and records their statistics.

- The plugin can be configured to automatically calculate TrueSkill rating in Ranked lobbies.



### Default Missiles



Here are the default missiles included with MissileWarsX. These are identical to the ones from the original MissileWars game.

## Version Support



As mentioned above, MissileWarsX is currently stable on modern versions of Minecraft (1.16.5+). Older versions may be dropped over time due to the lack of manpower to support them.



## Public Test Server



If you want to try out MissileWarsX before hosting your own server, you can play the mini-game on a publicly hosted server at `mwx.encodeous.cc`. This server currently runs 1.19.3, and will run on the latest versions when they come out.
