I love it :3

Thanks. You might also like myboardgames

I'm very impressed with your mini-game mods, I've checked them out just now, will test soon.

Nice work :3

Note: are these games functional by any chance? :)

The board games are all playable, but they do not enforce any rules, for example on the chess game you can move your rooks diagonally, it's up to the players to know and follow the rules, just like playing board games IRL.

I linked to websites that have the rules in the first post of myboardgames. I don't plan on enforcing rules because many people like to change rules or make up new games.
If anyone wants to take these games and make them enforce rules they can.

Nice, It's ok if they do not enforce any rules :)

Will take a look at that soon, though rules wasn't my question but it's ok as long as they are playable its still a great mod. :3

I have kids at my place all the time. I see how they play games. When they are young they like to make up their own games. As they get older they play by the rules. By not enforcing the rules it allows all ages to enjoy the games.
It is fun to see the younger people make up their own games.

I definitely agree with you Don. :)

This is really great--thanks for creating it. I tried it on my server and it adds a lot of fun, but the problem I encountered is a user entered the server and stacked a whole bunch of Pacmine arenas all over the place, breaking through buildings and trees and so-on. So I wanted to ask, is there a way for me to add one of each game to my world while not actually letting players add them? Eg., they can play the ones *I* place, but not place their own? I'd love to use these for a mini-game island or something!

Thanks!!

I believe the games can only be gotten with giveme or creative, if you have creative enabled for all the players there isn't anything I know of that could be used to keep them from doing that. One could require permissions to place games, but that would require adding code to the mod.

Nice--thanks for explaining that Nathan.S. You said it without saying it: all I need to do is build a world in Survival. Indeed, this is on a Creative server... so when we setup a "mini-game island" we'll do it on a Survival server.

Thanks!

No problem.

I have pushed my changes on to the master branch, as Don has graciously allowed. By default the myarcade privilege will be granted in singleplayer, if you plan on using it on a server you'll probably want to change that to false, instruction are in the readme file.

Excellent! Thanks Nathan.S. Looking forward to bringing it back!

It is done interestingly!
