SkyGiants is a fast‑paced team PvP minigame where each team defends a colossal Giant at their island while racing to destroy the enemy teams’ Giants. Players gather resources, gear up at their team’s Bazar (shop), battle for powerful mid‑map beasts, and coordinate pushes. When your Giant is under attack you’ll receive instant alerts—pop your recall to snap back to base, hold the defense, and counter‑attack. The last team with a living Giant wins; if time expires, a timed winner/draw logic decides the outcome.

How to play
- Join an arena from your lobby or with the main command (/sga) and get auto‑assigned to a team.
- Warm up, loot/mine resources, and earn in‑game gold.
- Shop at your team’s Bazar to buy armor, weapons, tools, utilities, and upgrades.
- Control the middle: defeat rotating “Beasts” to swing momentum with rewards.
- Coordinate pushes to damage enemy Giants. Your own team cannot harm your Giant.
- When your Giant is attacked you’ll get titles/chat alerts—use /recall (channelled; cancelled if hit) to return home quickly.
- Eliminate opponents by killing their Giant and outlasting remaining teams.
Supported server types
In terms of server software, SkyGiants1058 is made for spigot 26.1.2. Besides that it also supports three deployment modes to fit different server layouts. Pick the one that matches your infrastructure and player flow.MULTIARENA
- What it is: A single Spigot/Paper server hosting the lobby and multiple arenas at once.
- When to use: Small/medium servers or development setups where simplicity matters; no proxy required.
- Player flow: Players join the single node, use NPCs/GUI/signs to enter any available arena, return to the same lobby when a match ends.
- Admin setup:
- Set a main lobby location and protect team/Bazar/Giant regions per arena.
- Configure multiple arenas; they run side‑by‑side.
- Key settings:
- server-mode: MULTIARENA
- multiarena.lobby-location: <world,x,y,z,yaw,pitch>
- Optional leave behavior: leave-handler.type: WORLD | PREVIOUS_LOCATION | KICK
NETWORK
- What it is: Proxy-based deployment (BungeeCord/Velocity). Run one or more SkyGiants instances per node; send players back to a central hub after games.
- When to use: Medium/large networks, matchmaking pools, or scaling horizontally across machines.
- Player flow: Players join your hub (proxy), click an NPC/GUI to connect to a SkyGiants instance. On game end/leave, they’re sent back to the hub.
- Admin setup:
- Point your proxy to one or more SkyGiants backend servers.
- Optionally run multiple parallel instances per backend node.
- Configure auto-restart after N games to keep memory fresh.
- Optional web-events (Redis/RabbitMQ) for cross-node tracking/integrations.
- Key settings:
- server-mode: NETWORK
- network.max-instances: 1..N
- network.restart-after-games: 10 (example)
- Hub transfer on leave: leave-handler.type: BUNGEE, leave-handler.bungee-server: lobby
- Optional web events:
- web-events.enabled: true
- web-events.type: REDIS | RABBITMQ
- web-events.redis.* or web-events.rabbitmq.*
SMP
- What it is: Companion mode for Survival/SMP servers. SkyGiants arenas spin up automatically on scheduled days (e.g., weekends) as events.
- When to use: You primarily run SMP but want periodic PvP events without moving players to a dedicated minigame network.
- Player flow: Players play survival normally. Before an event, the server broadcasts countdowns; the target arena starts and players can join via GUI/signs/NPC.
- Admin setup:
- Choose the arena ID to auto-start during events.
- Pick active days and enable the scheduler.
- Key settings:
- server-mode: SMPsmp.events-enabled: truesmp.event-days: SATURDAY,SUNDAY (comma-separated DayOfWeek names)smp.event-arena: skygiants
