Minigame Lobby

CTf sneak peek

Previous Lobby

Capture the Flag is one of the gamemodes, and one of the old Minigames of Minecraft Central. It was released on the 14th of October 2014 as a Minigame, and was later removed on the 26th of August 2022. However, Capture the Flag returned as a separate event on the 14th of August 2023. On the 21st of September 2023 it replaced Ultra Hardcore and made a proper return. There are 30 maps and 30 players can play at the same time. During the Minigame status, a maximum of 24 players could join a game, and 10 players were required to start the game.

The amount of required players used to be 15 but it was raised to 30 on the 10th of August 2017 when CTF was updated. On the 12th of September 2017 the required and maximum amount of players was changed to 24 from 30. On the 13th of March 2018 the requirement got changed back to 15. With the revamp of CTF it was lowered to 12 on the 7th of June 2021 and further to 10 on the 1st of October 2021.

General Info[]

In Capture the Flag the goal of the players is to steal the other team's flag and return it to their own base. There are 2 teams, Red and Blue. Players get to choose their team in the Waiting Lobby but if the teams are uneven, the game balances them automatically. Players spawn with a stone sword, Infinity I and Power I bow and 1 arrow. They also have Leather Armour. The team with the most captures wins the game, or if the captures are tied when the 15 minute timer runs out, the team with the most kills. The item selector for CTF is a Red Wool block. The NPC in Lobbies is a knight holding a Red Wool block.

Gift card rewards are given to the top players every week. The top players are determined by the amount wins that they have. The player with the most wins gets a $10 gift card, the 2nd a $5 gift card and the 3rd a $2 gift card. The top player used to be determined by the amount of flag captures between the 21st of September 2023 and the 12th of October 2023 when it was changed to be based on wins.

Minigame and Revamp 2021[]

Capture the Flag worked very similarly as a Minigame, as there was a time limit of 900 seconds (15 minutes) and if no one had captured the other team's flag when the game ended, the team with the most kills won. The items of the players were also the same.

The update of 10th August 2017 changed the waiting Lobby to a new one. The new waiting Lobby was seen as too small, and it was quickly changed to a bigger one. The update also added a section to the scoreboard displaying how many kills each team had. Monthly leaderboards were also added, as part of the bigger Minigame revamp. On the 12th of August 2017 5 new maps were added and the map Land of Bones was changed a bit. The map Lost Kingdom was also removed. On the 14th of August 2017 map voting was added to Capture the Flag.

Capture the Flag was temporarily removed for the Minigame Revamp on the 20th of May 2021. It was added back on the 7th of June 2021 with new changes, in beta mode. A new Waiting Lobby was added. There is a parkour in the lobby and the team selectors are now Zombie NPCs instead of signs. The previous Strong Feet ability was enabled for all players by default, and some of the Minigame Abilities were changed. New Cosmetics were also added, and most notably a special cosmetic called Flag Designs was introduced.

New features also included Quests, Minigame Achievements and spectating, similar to the previous Survival Games revamp. 11 new maps were added and the map Lost Kingdom was added back. Some existing maps got edited, for example to fix exploits, to improve gameplay and to add more decorations.

In addition, overtime was added. Overtime happened when the game time ended and someone was carrying the flag of the other team. They would have 2 minutes to capture it, or if they died, the game ended. A game summary was also introduced to the end of a game. The beta mode ended on the 9th of June 2021 when Capture the Flag revamp was fully released.

On the 1st of October 2021 6 new maps were added. Later, on the 12th of January 2022 23 maps received small updates, such as bug fixes, new routes and aesthetic changes. These maps were Bazaar, Chernobyl, Clash Valley, Construction 2, Eruption, Flood, Graveyard, Jungle Warfare, Lookout, Lost Kingdom, Martian Outpost, Oasis University, Office Crisis, Playground, Rebellion, River, Savanna, Sandy Frotress, Seclusion, Space Station, Trainyard and Well.

Return as a Sub-Server[]

Capture the Flag made a return as an event on the 14th of August 2023. It could first be joined through the command /warp CTF. This also acted as a beta stage for the new type of event-based gamemode. At first the game would run for 15 minutes, and the team with the most captures would win the game. Later it was changed to end after a team had reached one capture. However, it was then changed to ending after a team has made 3 captures or the timer of 15 minutes has run out. Games were hosted multiple times in a day durign the event format. The chat also globally announced that a game was beginning.

Capture the Flag games were changed to be an ongoing event on the 12th of October 2023. The game would now automatically start whenever there are 10 players. The ability to join ongoing games was also introduced at the same time, along with a /stats command. This change was quickly reverted a few days after. The games are launched on a schedule and they start without any player requirements.
