Gamemode Stacks

Gamemode Stacks

Pick and configure the right plugin stack for the server's archetype. Each archetype has a dense reference under references/. Read the matching reference, then fetch exact config keys with learn-plugin-docs — never invent keys or version numbers.

Routing

| Archetype | Reference | Trigger words | |---|---|---| | Survival / SMP | references/survival-smp.md | smp, survival, vanilla+ | | Skyblock | references/skyblock.md | skyblock, island, BentoBox | | Prison | references/prison.md | prison, mines, rankup, prestige | | Factions | references/factions.md | factions, raid, TNT, power | | Towny | references/towny.md | towny, town, nation, siege | | Minigames / network | references/minigames-network.md | network, lobby, hub, bedwars, minigames | | RPG / MMO | references/rpg-mmo.md | rpg, mmo, mmorpg, MythicMobs, custom items | | Anarchy | references/anarchy.md | anarchy, no rules, dupe, lag machine | | Creative / build | references/creative-build.md | creative, build, plots, WorldEdit | | KitPvP | references/kitpvp.md | kitpvp, kits, arena pvp | | Lifesteal | references/lifesteal.md | lifesteal, hearts, revive | | OneBlock | references/oneblock.md | oneblock, one block, AOneBlock | | GenPvP | references/genpvp.md | genpvp, generators, gens pvp | | BoxPvP | references/boxpvp.md | boxpvp, box pvp, island pvp | | SkyPvP | references/skypvp.md | skypvp, sky pvp, ender pearl, soup | | The Pit | references/the-pit.md | the pit, pit, ffa arena | | OP Prison | references/op-prison.md | op prison, opprison, autosell, tokenenchant | | OP Skyblock | references/op-skyblock.md | op skyblock, opskyblock, sellwand, spawners | | OP Factions | references/op-factions.md | op factions, opfactions, printer, koth | | HCF | references/hcf.md | hcf, hardcore factions, deathban, sotw, classes | | Practice PvP | references/practice-pvp.md | practice, duels, ranked, elo, 1v1 | | BedWars | references/bedwars.md | bedwars, beds, generators, MBedwars | | SkyWars | references/skywars.md | skywars, sky wars, floating islands | | Survival Games | references/survival-games.md | survival games, hunger games, sg | | Earth SMP | references/earth-smp.md | earth, earthmc, geopolitical, towny earth |

Method

1. Identify the archetype (ask if ambiguous — e.g. "SMP with claims" vs "anarchy").
2. Read the matching reference for the canonical stack + touchpoints + pitfalls.
3. Confirm server software/version and whether it's behind a proxy (networks → proxy-network).
4. For any plugin whose exact config keys/permissions you need, run learn-plugin-docs .
5. For a brand-new server, hand off the base setup to new-server-bootstrap, then return here for

the gamemode stack. Review the final config with audit-config and tune via performance-tuning.

Cross-cutting truths

• One claims plugin per server (GriefPrevention or Lands, not both). One skyblock engine

(BentoBox or SuperiorSkyblock2). One custom-items engine (ItemsAdder or Oraxen).

• Networks need consistent modern forwarding across every backend (proxy-network).
• Heavy content = TPS cost (MythicMobs AI, big mob farms, FAWE edits) — profile with Spark

(performance-tuning) before blaming the host.

• Ranks/ladders (prison A→Z→Prestige, staff tiers) live in LuckPerms tracks

(permissions-helper), not raw inheritance.
