# Minigame Definition Reference
Minigame definitions live in `src/main/resources/Server/Minigames/<Id>.json`. JSON keys use PascalCase. The filename should match the `Id` field.
## Identity
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `Id` | String | Yes | none | Unique asset ID. Use underscores instead of spaces. |
| `Name` | String | Yes | none | Display name shown in commands and UI. |
| `Description` | String | No | `""` | Short display description. |
| `Enabled` | Boolean | No | `true` | Whether the minigame can be started. |
| `Debug` | Boolean | No | `false` | Enables verbose minigame debug messages when supported by runtime logic. |
| `GameType` | Enum | No | `GENERIC` | `GENERIC`, `BATTLE`, `PUZZLE`, `RACE`, `CAPTURE`, or `SURVIVAL`. |
## World Binding
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `WorldId` | String | No | `""` | Optional world identifier. |
| `RequiredGameMode` | Enum | No | `Adventure` | Game mode applied to each player when they become active. |
## Players
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `MinPlayers` | Integer | No | `1` | Minimum player count. |
| `MaxPlayers` | Integer | No | `16` | Maximum player count. |
| `DefaultPlayerLives` | Integer | No | `0` | Initial lives assigned to each player when a queued runtime starts. |
| `AllowJoinMidgame` | Boolean | No | `false` | Whether players can join after the game starts. |
| `AllowSpectators` | Boolean | No | `true` | Whether spectators are allowed. |
## Teams
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `TeamMode` | Enum | No | `SOLO` | `SOLO`, `TEAMS`, or `FREE_FOR_ALL`. |
| `TeamCount` | Integer | No | `0` | Explicit number of teams when using `BalanceTeams`. `0` defers to `PlayersPerTeam`. |
| `PlayersPerTeam` | Integer | No | `0` | When `TeamCount` is `0`, `BalanceTeams` divides total players by this to determine team count. `0` means no automatic splitting. |
## Timing
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `RoundLengthSeconds` | Integer | No | `300` | Active round duration. |
| `TotalRounds` | Integer | No | `1` | Number of rounds to run. Values less than or equal to `0` allow open-ended round progression. |
| `CountdownSeconds` | Integer | No | `10` | Pre-game countdown duration. |
| `OvertimeEnabled` | Boolean | No | `false` | When the final round ends, sets the phase to `OVERTIME` and dispatches `on_overtime_start` before `on_game_rounds_complete`. |
| `SuddenDeathEnabled` | Boolean | No | `false` | When the final round ends (after overtime if also enabled), sets the phase to `SUDDEN_DEATH` and dispatches `on_sudden_death_start`. |
## Win Condition
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `WinCondition` | Enum | No | `HIGHEST_SCORE` | How the winner is determined. Affects end-score display order and reward distribution. |
| `MapSelectionMode` | Enum | No | `VOTE` | How a waiting session chooses a discovered map: `VOTE` or `RANDOM`. |
| `FriendlyFireKillScoreMode` | Enum | No | `NO_POINTS` | How same-team player kills affect kill scoring: `OFF`, `LOSES_POINTS`, or `NO_POINTS`. |
Supported values:
| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `HIGHEST_SCORE` | Highest score at the end wins. Players ranked descending. |
| `LOWEST_SCORE` | Lowest score at the end wins. Players ranked ascending. |
| `FIRST_TO_SCORE` | First player or team to a target score wins. |
| `LAST_ALIVE` | Last active player or team wins. |
| `OBJECTIVE_COMPLETE` | Objective completion determines the winner. |
| `CUSTOM` | Trigger logic determines the winner. |
## World Rules
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `AllowPvp` | Boolean | No | `false` | Whether players can damage each other. |
| `AllowBlockBreaking` | Boolean | No | `false` | Whether blocks can be broken. Readable via definition; enforcement relies on `RequiredGameMode` (`Adventure` blocks both break and place by default). |
| `AllowBlockPlacing` | Boolean | No | `false` | Whether blocks can be placed. Same enforcement note as above. |
## Lifecycle
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `ResetOnEnd` | Boolean | No | `true` | After clearing runtime state at game end, dispatches `on_arena_reset` so trigger volumes can reset world state. |
| `SavePlayerInventory` | Boolean | No | `true` | Saves each player's inventory the first time they become `ACTIVE`. Restored on game end if `RestorePlayerInventory` is true. |
| `RestorePlayerInventory` | Boolean | No | `true` | Restores each player's saved inventory when the game ends. |
## Items
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `StartItems` | `ItemStackConfig[]` | No | `[]` | Items given to each player when they become `ACTIVE`, if they have no assigned loadout. |
| `StartLoadouts` | `LoadoutConfig[]` | No | `[]` | Named item loadouts. A player's assigned loadout (set via `SetPlayerLoadout`) takes priority over `StartItems`. |
| `Rewards` | `RewardConfig[]` | No | `[]` | Rewards distributed at game end, before `on_game_end` fires. |
## ItemStackConfig
```json
{
"ItemId": "event_fishing_rod",
"Amount": 1
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `ItemId` | String | Yes | Hytale item ID. |
| `Amount` | Integer | Yes | Stack amount. |
## LoadoutConfig
```json
{
"Id": "archer",
"DisplayName": "Archer",
"Items": [
{ "ItemId": "hunting_bow", "Amount": 1 },
{ "ItemId": "arrow", "Amount": 32 }
]
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `Id` | String | Yes | Loadout ID referenced by `SetPlayerLoadout`. |
| `DisplayName` | String | No | Player-facing name for UI display. |
| `Items` | `ItemStackConfig[]` | No | Items given when this loadout is applied. |
| `PlayerCustomizable` | Boolean | No | Reserved for a future loadout-selection UI. When `true`, item giving is skipped at activation. Defaults to `false`. |
Loadouts are selected by a `SetPlayerLoadout` effect before the player becomes `ACTIVE`. If no loadout is assigned, `StartItems` is used as a fallback.
## RewardConfig
```json
{
"Target": "winner",
"Items": [
{ "ItemId": "gold_coin", "Amount": 25 }
]
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `Target` | String | Yes | Who receives the reward. See target values below. |
| `Items` | `ItemStackConfig[]` | Yes | Items to grant. |
Reward target values:
| Value | Recipients |
|-------|------------|
| `all` | Every player in the runtime. |
| `winner` | The player ranked first (rank determined by `WinCondition`). |
| `top_N` | Top N players, e.g. `top_3`. |
## Minimal Example
```json
{
"Id": "Quick_Brawl",
"Name": "Quick Brawl",
"Enabled": true,
"MinPlayers": 2,
"MaxPlayers": 8,
"TeamMode": "SOLO",
"WinCondition": "LAST_ALIVE",
"RoundLengthSeconds": 120,
"AllowPvp": true
}
```
## Validation
Current validation is definition-focused:
- `Name` must not be blank.
- `MinPlayers` must be greater than or equal to 1.
- `MaxPlayers` must be greater than or equal to `MinPlayers`.
- `RoundLengthSeconds` must be greater than 0.
- `CountdownSeconds` must be greater than or equal to 0.
The old custom `MinigameAreaVolume` validation requirement no longer applies. Minigame areas are normal Hytale trigger volumes configured in the editor.
