Description
Did you ever play tag? If so, this interesting take on the game will certainly get your attention. TimeBomb is a game mode where players are spawned into an arena, with a certain number of them carrying TNT. The idea is to tag other players with it, so they wind up carrying the TNT instead of you; once the 1-minute timer runs out, whoever's left carrying the TNT blows up, and the survivors get points! Of course, it's not as easy as merely tagging your opponents. The maps are also covered with various wool blocks, each one providing a different effect when walked on: green wool makes you instantly jump very high, blue wool makes you run very fast... - minecraftforum.net
Mechanics
GameItems
TimeBomb
Try to not be given the bomb. If you get it, there is a cooldown time, which can bee seen in your XP bar. Sneaking decreaes the time, sprinting increases it. If the cooldown time is over (XP bar is full) you can give the TNT to other players by hitting them. While you are holding the TNT your nameplate gets red. After one minute all current holders of bombs will explode and loose points.
GoldProtection
If the game has more than 5 players, one player will start with the GoldProtection. This block gives you speed and two-block-high jump. Players with TimeBombs can't give you the bomb. While you are holding the GoldBlock your nameplate gets gold. Other players can grab the GoldProtection by hitting you. There is no cooldown, so you can get it back right after that. At the end of the game the holder of the GoldProtection gets two points.
GameTypes
Classic
Players with the Timebomb (TimeBombers) have to pass the bomb on to others by hitting them. Current holders of the bombs will die after some time and loose the game!
Infection
TimeBombers have to infect everyone! This means, when they hit others, that person gets infected but they will stay infected as well. Other players have to try to not get infected.
PowerUps
Red Wool
Gives you two-block-high jump for some seconds.
Blue wool
Gives you speed for some seconds.
Green wool
Gives you instant-high jump.

Backup your config.yml, then delete it and restart your server. Now put all required information into it and reload your server again. See if it works then.

Posted May 11, 2013Is SuperSpleef plugin compatible with Timebomb? Because Spleef does that same thing now. When I do /ss, it says /spleef ss [args]. If you do /tb, it says /tb, /tbzone, it says /tbzone, etc.

Posted May 11, 2013Whenever I typed /tb or any other Timebomb command, it just says the command I typed. Nothing works still. It's just like before.

Posted Mar 30, 2013Can you please compile the plugin with a newer version of java as it doesn't work for many server owners because of that. I am thinking of adding the plugin to my 250 player server with 210 players online right now! :D
Thanks!
EDIT: updated my java as I am on a dedicated server; it works now :D
EDIT 2: I added this to my server. Unfortunately, half of the players on the server were glitched once they joined an arena. The chunks weren't loading for them and they would get glitched.
Any ideas? I really hope this gets fixed, as this seems like an awesome plugin and everyone likes it :D

Posted Mar 23, 2013I really wish you could either release your source code, update this more often, or accept some sort of kickstart fund system to kick it off so you can spend more time on it. Bukkit should probably have some sort of kickstart system really. That would be awesome. And I think this plugin could and would benefit from it immensely, providing you were willing to take the time to update it when necessary or release your code which it seems you are not willing to do which is understandable in some way. But perhaps if there was some sort of kickstart system in place you wouldn't mind doing so.
