Gamesmith

Build your own minigames in-game with a GUI editor. Nine ready-to-play games, arenas included.

Gamesmith lets you build minigames in-game. A game is an arena, its spawns and zones, a few phases, and rules like “when a player falls below Y 5, eliminate them”. You click those together in a chest-menu editor, press Test, and you are in a match with a countdown, a boss bar timer, a live scoreboard and rewards at the end.

Nine games ship ready to play. /gs create builds one at your feet, arena included. When a match ends, every player gets their inventory, XP, health, effects and location back, and the arena is put back block for block.

Get Gamesmith

Gamesmith PRO

Available on Voxel Shop. Unlimited games, MythicMobs, Typewriter, money and command rewards, leaderboards, placeholders and fresh-world matches.

Gamesmith Lite

The free edition: the full editor and all nine presets, up to three games. Coming soon.

PRO needs a licence key. You claim it in Discord with /claim GAMESMITH. See Installation.

What you get

• Nine games on day one: Sumo, Color Drop, Lava Rising, Sky Sprint, Domination, Outpost Raid, Spleef, King of the Hill and Mob Waves. Six bring a complete themed map.
• A real editor: every preset is built with the same editor you get, so you can open any of them and change anything.
• Rules without code: 12 triggers and 17 actions. King of the Hill is three rules.
• Teams, kits, win rules and rewards: free-for-all or up to eight coloured teams, four ways to win, rewards for winners and for everyone.
• Nothing breaks your world: players and arenas come back as they were after every match, and a crash mid-match does not lose them.
• Plays with your stack: MythicMobs bosses, Typewriter entries, Vault money and PlaceholderAPI (PRO).

Compatibility

• Server software: Paper 1.20.6 through 26.3. Spigot and Folia are not supported.
• Java: 21 or newer. Paper 26.x servers need Java 25.
• Required plugins: none.
• Optional plugins: MythicMobs, Typewriter, Vault with an economy plugin, PlaceholderAPI and AdvancedSlimePaper (all used by PRO features). Multiverse-Core, Hyperverse, MultiWorld and MyWorlds load before Gamesmith when present, so arenas in their worlds work.
• Editor input: a native input form on 1.21.6 and newer, one chat line on older servers.

Gamesmith PRO checks its licence key on every startup, so the server needs internet access. See Installation.
