Getting Started with Game Maker

Welcome to Game Maker, a powerful in-game toolkit that lets you design, build, and share your own unique Minecraft games right here on the server. Whether you want to create a fast-paced PvP arena, a complex parkour challenge, an escape room, or a story-driven adventure, Game Maker provides all the tools you need without ever leaving Minecraft.

What Can You Build?

With Game Maker, the possibilities are vast. At its core, it's a visual scripting system that lets you control every aspect of your game without writing a single line of code. You can:

• Build Custom Worlds: Use creative mode and powerful WorldEdit commands to shape your environment exactly how you imagine it.
• Create Complex Game Logic: Use an intuitive system of triggers (Events) and outcomes (Actions) to make your map interactive.
• Design Interactive Elements: Create custom items with unique abilities, build interactive menus (GUIs), and place dynamic holograms.
• Manage Game States: Implement teams with custom rules, scoreboards that track progress, and variables (Properties) that remember player choices and game progress.
• Share Your Creations: Set your map to public for the entire server to discover, play, and rate.

The Core Concepts

To get started, it helps to understand a few key ideas that form the foundation of every Game Maker creation:

• Maps: Your game lives inside a Map. This is your personal, isolated world where you build and set up all your game logic.
• Build Mode & Play Mode: When editing your map, you'll be in Build Mode, which gives you creative flight and access to editing tools. When you or others play your game, they'll be in Play Mode, which is how you experience the map as a player.
• The Action System: This is the heart of Game Maker. You create logic by linking Events (like a player stepping on a pressure plate) to Actions (like teleporting the player or giving them a point).
