# Minestom Game Jam 2024

## Basic Guidelines

* A theme will be provided at the starting time, all submissions should somehow fit the theme (be creative!).
* Teams may be any size.
* External libraries may be used within reason (don't import your entire Hypixel skyblock 1:1 clone and submit it).
* Art/Resource packs are allowed/encouraged, but not required. It must be uploaded/accessible prior to submission, we will not provide hosting.
* Each person may only participate in creating one submission (playtesting is OK).

## Submission rules

Game must be playable with a minimum of 3 players or less, and hopefully with a maximum of +50. We cannot predict how many players will be present.

Game must last 10 minutes maximum if session-based.

All server implementations are allowed (Minestom, Valence, Cuberite, etc..) obviously excluding mojang implementation and its various forks. Minestom remains however encouraged :)

Versions older than 1.21 are allowed, but you must keep in mind that the bridge will be crossed with ViaVersion on our proxy.

If by clumsiness your server happens to contain a game-breaking bug during the play session, you will be allowed to resubmit it in order to be replayed and rerated. This is however an extreme measure, so do not rely on it.

The server must be in offline mode, we will run a proxy without modern forwarding in front of it. The servers will be executed inside of a `eclipse-temurin:21-jre-ubi9-minimal` container, in case its relevant. If you need another container (e.g. java 22), please specify the container and reason in the submission note. The server will be hosted in North America (North East).

Provide your **server executable**, **a screenshot of the game** and any associated files (eg world) with the following informations:

Name: X
Description: X
Source Code: Link (optional)
Server Implementation: Minestom/Other
Native version: 1.21
Team members: 
- X
- Y
- Z

Min player(s): 3
Max players: 75
Spec notes: None, Low Latency, High Bandwidth, Good computer, ...
Other notes: How to start a game (eg command) if relevant, ...

## Play session rules

Once submissions over, a few play sessions will be organized in the coming days/weeks where anybody can join.

Games will be played in random order, and each participant will be asked to rate them.

* Game version must be 1.21
* No client mod allowed (except perhaps performance enhancing) in order for developers to skip most of the sanity checks and focus on features. Suspicion will result in a ban for the rest of the session.
